GAMBLING IN SOCIETY.
Women Go to Card Parties for the
Prizes They May Win.


The gambling spirit is rampant IN
the Dorcas Society as well as in Wall
Street. Unfortunately we have ceased
to enjoy coming together for the sake
Of a delightful exchange of the
thoughts We have CLEANED along lifes
pathway, or the opportunity of giving
helpful greetings from our abundance
of happiness and experience to those
less fortunate. II is a pity that the
spirit of gain enters into our social
life, and 1t is deplorable fact that
the eagerness to secure the almighty
dollar or it's equivalent has become an
epidemic in many social circles. |
fear we are all too familiar with the
/ spectacle of drawn, anxious and sor-
/ did faces around the card table. all
eager to carry away the spoils. which
are often useless bits of bric-a-brac or
like trumpery which the spoilee has
no room for, or could well afford to
buy If she had. To the intense dis.
gust of those who are better bred the
display of ugly temper or the tears of
disappointment makes evident that
there is a woeful lack of self-eontrol
and high thinking.
Nevertheless it is not our province
to heal the sick or secure moral re-
form. as we are not physicians nor
clergymen; but We are sufficiently re-
sponsible to hope that we may possibly
help stamp out that most distressing
disease of modern society. ''prizitis. -

TO FRESHEN THE HOUSE.

A few drops of oil of lavender in
silver bowl or ornamental dish OF
some kind half filled with hot water
and set in the dining room just before
dinner is served give delightful and
intangible freshness to the atmos-
phere of the apartment. Hostesses
often put a small vessel in the parlor
and dressing rooms when arranging
the house for festivity. The sug-
gestion is especially valuable to the
hostess in a small apartment, which
sometimes in the hustle of prepare
ton becomes stuffy.

Upon the Application of Non

Guthrie. 0. T., July 21.-school houses
can no longer be used for dancing pur-
poses in Oklahoma. The rural districts
have heretofore been very liberal in this
territory and contrary TO narrow COM
rnunities, when a neighboring house was
not large enough, the school directors
would let the school house for a country
dance.
The question whether this could be any
longer allowed came to superintendent Of
Schools Baxter. from Beaver and Wood

torney General Robbers, who handed
Gown the following opinion:
You ask me whether a school board
can. by law. open a school house for pub

refer you to Running Section $50,
wherein are enumerated the purposes.
other than school purposes. for which

NEW TOWNSHIPS CREATED
Governor to Appoint Officials in Wood
ward County.

Guthrie. o. T., July 19.-The county
commissioners OF Woodward county have
formed a number OF new townships in
the county. and will call upon Governor
Ferguson 10 appoint township officers.
Woodward county for a number Of years
has had four townships. There has been
no necessity for more owing to the fact
that there has been little increase in pop
ulation. During the past year there has
ben much emigration. and as a result
more townships were needed. The com
missioners have the power TO create new
townships and each voting precinct must
have not less than 200 voters.
No recommendations have vet been
made to the governor in the matter OF
appointments. He had not heard of the
change in townships when approached
about the matter today.

ATime Of Anxiety for
Thousands.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
VIII Danish the Summer Blues
and Other Distresses That
Make Life Miserable
and Unhappy.

This is the season when we hear men
and women complaining about their un-
happy and half-dead condition. They find
that physical and mental energy has de-
serted them, and they are sinking deeply
in the pit Of despordency.
The hot summer weather always pro-
duces thousands of miserable feeling NOR
tails. They lack nerve force. strength
and true vitality. They cannot rest,
day or night, and life becomes a burden.
The great recuperator, builder and
strength-giver for all weary, wornout
and suffering people is Paine's Celery
Compound. now so universally prescribed
by medical men. When the great medi-
cine is used at this season, languor, de-
spondency, irritability, nervousness,
sleeplessness, headache. dyspepsia and
digestive troubles are permanently ban
their duties and work with a vim, will
and energy that indicate health and ply
sical strength.
Mr.. J. H Clark, Newark. Del. who was
in a critical condition of health from
troubles extremely common in summer
time, writes thus about his marvellous
rescue from death:
When I was attacked with nervous
prostration 1 went to one of our local
doctors. 1 continued to grow worse. and
consulted other physicians. but with very
little apparent good. No tongue can ex-
press or pen describe my feelings and
suffering from this terrible disease. At
ter spending considerable money in the
vain hope of being cured, I was led to
try Paine's Celery Compound. and it is
this medicine which enabled me to en-
Joy the health 1 now have. After the
torture 1 experienced night aud day for
years, the change is wonderful
