BRIoK WILL STAND TEST.
Chickasha Makes as Good An Ar
ticIe as Any Place in the
Territory.

For some time past it has bean
question with the contractors
and builders of Chickasha, as well
as the brick manufacturers, as TO
whether or not the brick manu-
factured in Chickasha and the
country Immediately surrounding
would stand the test or not. The
contractors have claimed that
Chickasha soil would not produce
FIRST class brick, though many Of
them were used ia business blocks
here and had apparently been as
good as any brick made in the two
territories.
The brick Tor the new cottop
compress, which were made Of
Chickasha soil by A j. Denton s.
Co., were tested yesterday when
that institution started up for the
first time and they stood The test
DiceIy. And if there is any place
in the world where the worth Of
brick could be tested thoroughly
It would certainly be cotton CON-

compress were made Of selected
brick from Denton's brick yard

masons to be employed. The sat-

SEEMS TO WORK WELL.

1t will be remembered that when
the anti-pistol law became operative
there werc so"ls who sneered at j,
and made bold to say that the former
law against carrying pistols was in
operative, was in fact farce, and
that the new law would be just about
as great farce and just as much OF
. dead letter as the old law had
proved 10 be. We hold the other
view and claimed thai the law would
have good effect in lessening the
number ofpistol toters. We believed
that the majority Of the good people
were in favor OF the law, a, they saw
in it m:aus for lowering the per-
centage OF hom;cides that had bseu
incrs asing at an alarming rate during
tho past three or four years. We did
not think any one would tax. the
great risk OF making a test OF the
laws constitutionality. That we
were right has been proven by the
merchants all shipping back their
stock OF pistols. And more than
that We believe the law is being
obeyed, and that it is Of very rare
occurrence that a m1n or by can be
found Juggling pistol around with
him, as was 80 frequently the case
before the new Law went into effect.
They are possibly a.rai to risk it,
and well they may be; and this kind
OF fear is not cowardice. We should
all be afraid TO disobey the laws, even
II " vers % inclined.

hope and believe that the new law

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.
Catarrh Is Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in ,
cold, changeablc climates, it is by
no means confined to them, but is pre-
valent in every state and territory in
the union.
The common definition of catarrh is
Il chronic cold in the head which If
long neglected often destroys the sense
of smell and hearing; but there are
many other forms of the disease, even
more obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as we'll as catarrh of the stom-
ach and liver are almost as common
as nasal catarrh and generally more
difficult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly blood dis,
ease and can only be successfully era
dicated by an internal treatment.
sprays, washes and powders are use
less as far as reaching the real seat
of the disease Is concerned.
DIR. McIverney advises Catarrh suffer
ers to use new preparation, sold by
druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, because actual analysis has shown
these tablets to contain certain anti
septic qualities of the highest value
and being nm internal remedy, pleasant
to the taste, convenient and harmless,
can be used as freely as required, as
well for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker, who
%,
| says:
Every fall l would catch a cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang OH all winter long and
every winter it seemed to get a little
worse. | was continually clearing my
throat and my voice became affected
to such an extent as to interfere with
my public speaking
tried trOches and cheap cough cures
and sometimes got relief, but only for
a short time, until this winter when
learned OF the new catarrh cure,
| Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through a
newspaper advertisement. Two fifty
cent boxes which bought at my drug
| gists, cleared my head and throat in
fine shape and to guard against re-
turn of my old trouble l keep a box
of the tablets on hand and whenever
| catch a little cold | take a tablet
or two and ward off any serious de,
velopments." Ifal5
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to
head the list as a household remedy,
to check and break up coughs and
colds, because unlike many other
catarrh and cough cures these tablets
contain no opiate, cocaine or any in
furious drug.
