CARE or THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
If there is any suspicion of damp
ness in a bedroom it is probably due,
If there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water In it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fre-
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of its dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec.
tion of many kinds.
The desired method OF treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala.
DdolllSu wall 10 a. DcllcCJ wall IL
never flakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and eXpels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filed
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window slls should be thoroughly var.
nished or waxed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom as the presence OF
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

FIND OUT
The Kind Of Food That Will Keep

The true way is TO find out what is

vate a taste for those things instead
of poisoning ourselves with improper,

Energy and Enjoyment.

A marked feature of mans progress
Is indicated by our broadening view
OF the value of healthful enjoyment.
And It Is, indeed, recreation to relax
amusements that bring to the active
brain and tired body fresh energy.
Men count 1t as much a duty to give
simple entertainment to their families
as they do to provide them with nee
essary food and clothing, and year
by year we are coming nearer to this
idea OF the value of relaxation. With
wise and proper education in
thought, this matter OF entertainment
becomes more and more simple, and
gives a greater degree OF satisfaction.
In the crowds upon our streets and In
the busy centers Of all material activ-
ity. one may read in the faces of the
people the story Of ambition and
alertness. And, as during the closing
years OF a good mans life, when his
work has been successful and he can
look back with pride to days of busy
effort, he allows himself restful
ease-so we, with all our rush and
hurry that have won us success, will
begin to take to ourselves the quiet
and restful enjoyment of perfected
life.

URGED TO MAKE PROOF
U. s. Commissioners Terms Will Ex
pjre With Comma of Statehood

GUTHRIE: For the reason that all
United States commissioners and
United States court commissioners
terms Of office expire with statehood,
the homesteaders throughout western
Oklahoma, in particular, are being
urged to make final proofs on their
land as rapidly as possible, else other
wise It will then be necessary for the
homesteaders to visit either the
United States land office or the county
seat wherein the land Is located, in
order to make final proof. AS it is,
however, United States commission
o. is located in practically every town
In western Oklahoma and they are au-
thorized to receive final proofs.
In resembling his former order
which called for special inspector in
cases Of final proof President Roose-
vslt has now made it possible for any
hem esteader, who contemplates prov
Ing up, to do so without waiting for
the arrival from Washington Of a
special inspector This does not, how
ever relieve the order as first made,
twelve months instead of six before
final proof can be made.
An interesting decision has been
made by the government land Office at
Lawton, in the case OF Herbert Man
zale, Of Oklahoma City. Although not
yet twenty years old, Manzals has
been married two years, and made
the claim therefor, that although not
OF age, yet he was the head of a
family and therefore could legally
homestead claim. He was allowed
TO nle.
In another instance of similar ma
ture Mrs. Mary M. Ashurst of Chatta.
uooga was allowed to file on a claim
as the head of family. She showed
that she had been doing the manual
work OF the family family for several
years.

GREBE OR DUCKe.
Game or Not Game Bird-Peculiar
Point in Court.

On information furnished by inspectors
from the Department of Agriculture
Charles H. Javins. a merchant in the
Center market, was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court this morning on a charge of
selling a bird which is not regarded by
law as game bird. r. W. Williams and
H. c. Overholser Of the department con-
tended that the bird in evidence was a
game bird. 1t was contended by Mr..
Javins and by John B. Peyton. deputy
clerk OF the court and well-known
sportsman and hunter, that the bird is a
species Of river duck or grebe duck, and
therefore game bird.
In deciding the case Judge Mullowny
sided with the experts from the Depart
ment of Agriculture and declared that the
bird In gu stion was not a duck, therefore
not game bird, and therefore should not
be offered for sale Judge Mulowny de-
cided. however. that there had evidently
been no malicious intent to violate the law,
and he accepted the personal bonds of
the defendant not to sell such birds in the
future.
THE ruling Of this court is that grebes
are not game birds and must not be solo" ="
declared the court "All bird dealers will
govern themselves accordingly"
Th. bird in question. 1t was stated, is
known as waterwitch a hell-diver and
a high diver as we'll as a grebe. 1t is
the most expert of all diving birds of the
general duck family and has beautiful
gray and white plumage. Deputy Clerk
Peyton stated that the bird is reputed to
be SO expert in diving that it can dodge
the fash of gun and escape the shot
This is a very clear case. Judge" stated
the deputy clerk. ANY hunter will tell
you that grebe is a duck"
ANY one who knows anything about
ducks will tell you that this bird is a
grebe and not d duck" declared Mr.. Over
holser Of the Department of Agriculture
The question hinged on the shape of
the feet of the bird in evidence, and it
was seen they were lobed rather than
webbed. By reference to dictionary it
was found that a duck has web feet, a
grebe lobed feet. Therefore Judge Null
lowny he'd the bird in question not to be
duck.

AFTER FRENCH GOLD
PARIS AND WASHINGTON NEGo-
TIATING.

NEW YORK, November 4.-For several
days reports have been in circulation that
certain banking interests in this city are
engaged in negotiations for the purpose
Of securing a large amount OF gold direct
from the Bank Of France. These reports
also have intimated that certain political
questions were involved in the negotia-
tions. particularly with reference to some
preferential tariff agreement.
From authoritative sources it is learned
that the effort to secure French gold di-
rect was made by the banking house of
tion of impending financial trouble rep
resentative Of the Morgan house was sent
to Paris for this purpose.
The Bank of France intimated it's will
ingness to send to this country s20,000O0
gold, but because of its governmental
character 1t desired some form of COM
initial from this government in so large
transaction. Communication with Wash
ington was at once begun and still con-
tinues in the effort to find some method by
which the transaction can be completed.
1t is probable, however. that even in
event the Washington officials cannot see
their way to participation in the matter;
the gold will be brought over. Collateral
doubtless can be given until the exports
to France cover the amount, when the ad-
vance would be met by bills of exchange
on Paris. 1t is stated that no profit what
ever will result to the importers of the
gold, but that on the contrary the trans
action will mean loss and that 1t is un-
dertaken solely as a public-sptrited meas
ure of relief for the existing currency
question.
