The Need of Fresh Air.

Back of ventilation in the home is
the source of half the ills that beset
the average American family. De-
prived of the necessary amount Of
oxygen to supply the demands of the
circulatory system, brain flag, weak
ened nerves and impoverished tissues
make the human body susceptible to
disease of body and soul.
See that current of fresh air en-
tiers an occupied room, and when 1t Is
to be unoccupied for a time, see that
occasion has been taken to change the
air more completely by raising the
windows, If only for few moments.
Raising the lower sash alone does not
cause a quick change in the atmos-
phere A window must at the same
time be lowered from the top to allow
the escape of the impure air which
has become warm and lighter during
its Imprisonment and is forced to the
top of the room and out by the in
rush below of the colder, heavier air.

Gum and Thought.

One thing Is certain-you cannot chew
gum and think at the same time with
any degree of success. You may chew
gem and work mechanically, you may
read with gum in your mouth, and per-
haps not miss anything in the author,
but when it comes right down to good
hard mental effort, you cannot concen-
trate and achieve the best results of
which you are capable while your jaws
work Increasingly. That champing is
Just so much wasted energy, and as such
dissipates your force and keeps your
thinking powers reduced to the lowest
point.
Just put it down in your notebook as
fact that no man can think deep, logi-
cal or well balanced thoughts while his
Jaws are working overtime. Chicago

Lest We Forget.

In the good old kafflr corn days of
Blaine county, when Uncle John Dillon,
the Gcary Tanker, and County Clerk
Tyler hauled cedar posts to Ell Reno and
Oklahoma City and scld them to buy
bread for their families, they would go
to hear a good old preacher, who was a
post hauler with them. This good old
brother in his prayers would thank God
for his goodness to them, and one season,
when he was especially thankful for q
good crop raised, but not forgetful of
the past, he said: Dear Lord, lest in
DAVIS to come we forget, we thank thee,
o God, for the cedar in the canons. y

He would not have hesitated to lay
down his Office to become governor of

to lay it down now, in order to give the

to contribute towards that himself. The
comparative immunity which the criml-
nal classes now enjoy is most disquiet-

directed, as in the case against the

to making political capital rather than
to securing justice. 1t is time cake

RAILROAD HOGS

B. s. Wyatt. who has shipped a
good many carloads of hogs from

the rates have advanced to such a
point that he cannot ship any more
until frelghts are lowered.
The railroads are the biggest
hogs on earth, outside the Morgan
syndicate. They seem to want at
least about one-half of all the
ranchmen produce for taking their
products to market.
At the next meeting of the Com
mercial club this matter of rates
will be taken up and discussed.
If this question does not occupy
all the time of the meeting the
matter of forming a high school
district for the eastern part of the
valley will he taken up.
