Tho Domestic Hem a wonder.

Scratching living here and there,
killing thousands of bugs and worms,
which would cause much loss Of crops
if allowed to live, the ordinary barn
yard hen is wonderful combination
Of productive forces. In five years
time she will lay 700 eggs, each con-
tanning $50 grains of water, 1875 of
fat, 10S of lime, so of albumen, 26
Of sugar and 10 of ash-the most
condensed and strengthening form of
food offered to man. Every person
having little plot OF ground is able
to keep from half dozen to many
dozen of these wonders and so add to
the family income. To do this to the
greatest advantage, one must know
how to care for his fowls--to guard
against, detect and cure disease;
which fowls to save for breeding pnr-
poses. etc. The simplest and most
satisfactory way Of securing this
knowledge is to buy 1T from some
person who has made a success of
fowl raising as a business. Such a
book, giving the experience of TWEEN
ty-five years, is obtainable for 20
cents in stamps from the Book Pub
fishing House, 1S4 Leonard ST., New
York City. 1t is an Invaluable work.
The life of one chicken saved would
pay for the book several times over.

OkLAHONAS CONSTITUTION
Convention AdiOurns and Its Work
Win Be Voted on August 6.
Woman's Suffrage Defeated-Prohi-
bition is Declared and a Fellow
Servant Law Included.

Guthrie, Okla-The Constitutional
Convention, after completing it's
work of drawing up set of laws to
govern the proposed new State of
Oklahoma, adjourned sine die. The
constitution as prepared will be sub
mitted to the people of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory for ratification
or rejection at a special election on
August 6 next.
The convention was in session 115
days. One of the last acts of the con-
vention was to appoint committee
to solicit funds to pay for the election
of August 6, the convention having
| exhausted all the money appropriated
by Congress. The convention was
composed of 100 Democrats and
twelve Republicans.
Probably the most important meas
ure killed by the convention was that
providing separate railway coaches
for whites and negroes Female suf-
frage was defeated by few votes.
The initiative and referendum,
| patterned after the Oregon law, was
adopted, as was a provision provid-
| ing for the nomination of all State
| officers and United States Senators
by primaries.
Oklahoma will be a prohibition
State, the most stringent liquor law
in existence, prohibiting not only the
| sale, but the introduction of liquor
into the State, being provided for
| The enabling act provided that In
| dian Territory must accept prohibit
| ton for twenty-one years.
Provision.is made for State Rail-
| way Commission, to be elective, and
a two-cent passenger fare is ordered.
A fellow servant law is embodied
in the constitution.
| Corporations are prohibited from
owning more land than is absolutely
necessary in the operation of their
/ business.
The issuance of watered stock is
| prohibited, and the books of all cor
| porations are made subject to in
spection at all times.
A commission is appointed to ne
| gotiate the purchase of the segre-
| gated mineral lands in the Indian
Territory, valued at many millions of
| dollars, and State ownership and op-
Grafton of the coal mines thereon is
| contemplated.

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are in
making Postum properly, will relate
an incident. At a dinner we gave
doctor suggested that we serve Pos
tum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, a clergyman,
supposed it was old fashioned coffee
and remarked, as he called for his
second cup, If you do preach against
coffee I see you haven't forgotten how
to make it.
This goes to show that well-mada
fully boiled-Po Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee all
though it has an individuality ali its
own. A ten days trial win prove that
it has none of the poisonous effect OF
ordinary coffee but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's
reason. Name furnished by Pos.

81: ! s:7 vs.; Is ThOmpSOnS
when Every One is Beautiful.

1t has been said in cold print that
men and women are growing more
and more beautiful, and that the pro-
gress of civilization, the better I'M
Outstanding of the laws of health, is
to bring time when all of us will be
of absolutely perfect beauty - or,
rather not us, but our ultimate re-
mote descendants. 1t is a little diff
cult to feel envy, hatred and malice
for ones descendants, but this news
is enough to induce that evil state of
mind. However, the prospect affects
one writer quite otherwise. after
all, says he, 'our lovely descendants
will not have SO gay time. For if
EVERY one is good looking; what on
earth is the good of being good look
ing? So, after all, there are some
advantages in living nowadays. Few
of us have no dear friends uglier
than ourselves. What is the use of
friend if she is not a little-well,
plain?

Annual House Cleaning of Delin-
quent 1000 Corporations.

Trenton, N. J.-Governor Stokes
issued a proclamation revoking the
charters of more than 1900 New Jer-
sey corporations which have failed to
pay the annual franchise tax levied
by the State for the fiscal year of
1905-'O6.
The proclamation is an annual at
fair, provided by the corporation
laws for the wedding out of delin-
quent corporations, and it seldom
makes it's appearance without sensa-
tional stories of great fight being
waged against corporate interests by
the State.
The fact is that the revoking of
the charters of even 1900 companies
has little effect upon the business
world, since large percentage of
the corporations involved are with
out actual existence, except on paper.
1t is estimated that probably
eighty per cent of the delinquent
companies have never transacted any
actual business since their incorpora-
ton, many of them having failed
even to obtain subscribers to $1,000
worth of stock, which is the minimum
amount with which they may start
business.
