Some Mexican Laws.

A Topeka man who recently toured Mexico tells that they have some very curious criminal laws down there. For example, the statutes make it twice as much of an offense to mutilate the face of q woman as that of a man. While in the City of Mexico he attended court one day and saw a man sentenced to one year in prison for cutting his para mour across the face with a knife. If his victim had been a man the sentence would not have been m ore than four months at the outside. The law seems to be based on the idea that a woman's 8 best possession is her beauty, and that to mar it does her great injury There is another curious law. If a person should be wounded in an encounter the punishment to the offender is fixed by the number of days his victim has to stay in the hospital or under doctors care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the way of general division. If the in- jured man occupies more than 40 days in his recovery the penalty doubles up. As we understand the Topeka man these are not court customs, but statu- tory enactments,-Kansa City Jour nals

HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faulty Language Used In Child hood Is Hard to Correct in
 After Life.

''Why do educated parents allow their children to contract habits of un- grammatical speech that will have to be conquered in after-life?" asked a spin ster of a mother,
 "Because they hate to worry the poor little things about such matters when they are young and should be care free. It seems cruel to be all the time cor recting them and keeping them on their good behavior. They will have to learn the rules of our dreadful language all too soon as it is."
 "Yes," said the spinster, "and In ad- dition to learning to speak properly they will have to unIearn the tricks of speech in which they have been allowed ts indulge all their little lives. know," laughing, that there is much ridicule of old maids children but I believe that my theory in this case is correct. It is positive unkindness to let your child double his negatives and say 'ain't,' when several years from now he will be harshly reproved for such lapses. The child must learn to talk. anyway, and is it not as easy to teach him to say Tt is r. as It's me?'- And is it not as simple for the little tongue to lisp I saw it, as I seen it?' love baby talk, and should not correct child for his mispronunciation of hard words. As he grows older he will himself see his mistakes in that line and change them. But I insist that it is parents duty to make the difficult path to gram nautical speech as easy as possible by never allowing the little ones to stray from it in the beginning" ."-Harper's Bazar

There are two ways to remove consti. patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with 8 powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthful influence behind it.

 KINTA!

Now is your chance to buy a lot in the great town of KINTA, I. T., the home of the Governor of the Choc- taw Nation and the selected county seat of Sans Bois county. Get in on the ground floor and buy now; lots are selling at S45.00 on the payment plan.
 I believe at the opening, if you desire, you can sell your lots for five times what you paid. Just: look back at Enid, it gained 1000 in three years. El Reno has, in the mean time, grown 5000. Blackwell has, in the same time, gained about 5000. Oklahoma City has in thirty-six months gained 12,000.
 A salesman for the Sim mons Hardware Co.,, was offered four lots at Tulsa, I. T., two years ago for $275.00; these same lots sold a short time ago for $10, 900.
 candidly believe Kinta will equal, if not excel, any of these above mentioned.
 You can not buy more than five lots. Send me $500 today as first pay ment, or write for descrip- tive literature.

ment," says the Chicago Trib-
une, ''moderate laxativeS, hot
foot baths, free perspiration
and an avoidance of exposure
to cold and wet after treat

simple, it requires considerable
trouble, and the one adopting it
must remain indoors for a day
or two, or a fresh cold is almost
sure 10 be contracted, and in

your faith to an old reliable

necessary to avoid contracting
a fresh cold. 1t also counter

This is not a horror story,
therefore I shall but briefly men
ton the incidents that followed
one another so closely that Mr..
Baker Sr. must have concluded
that he was the victim of a wood
land conspiracy. They wadded
through mud and water and
wandered from the trail; they
were lost in the woods; the mos
quitoes were unusually prolific
and bloodthirsty; wolves sang de-
fance; the old gentleman stumb l-
ed and fell upon a dead porcu-
pine and as promptly fell off again
badly perforated; later on, while
crossing a stream, he slipped on
a peeled log and the bath that
followed was climaxed with chills
and ague. At last they came to
cabin where they spent the night
in the absence of the owner. The
bed was filthy and soon Mr.. Bak
er Sr. complained that he felt
little animals running over him
with red hot files. For breakfast
the travellers had out .laWed pork
and sour beans.
"Better grub than I have at
home,'' said Will cheerfully.
s.We can get to my place in three

"Willie, we are not going to

sWhy can't we drive out?'' he

There are three reasons, :
