Constipation. Kidney TrOubIe.
MRS. MAHALA REID.

Mrs. Mahala Reid, Corbyville, onts
Canada, writes:
"Your celebrated remedies have been
q wonderful boon to me in my old age.
1 have not been in so good health for
several years as now.
81 was troubled with constipation,
rheumatism and kidney trouble. A
little over two years ago completely
lost my health, becoming almost help
less, when q dear friend sent me youl
remedies, Peruna and Manalin.
s'I began TO take them, following the
directions on the bottles. very soon
began to feel benefited by their use, and
continued to take them.
"I am now completely recovered from
the above ailments, in fact, better than
/ have been for years past.
ssI cannot praise the remedies too
highly and win always recommend
them TO others"
Pe-ru-na In Tablet Form.
FOR two years DR.. Hartman and his
assistants have incesssntly labored tc
create Peruna in tablet form, and theil
strenuous fabors have just been crowned
with success. People who object tC
LIQUID medicines can now secure Pc
runa tablets, which represent th'
medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Eaci
tablet is equivalent TO one average dos'
OF Peruna.

QUESTION NO. 4
Why People OF Oklahoma VII
Vote for State Agency

The State agency which constitutes
Question No. l to be voted upon next
Tuesday by the people will be carried
by on overwhelming majority. Il has
lehind it an irrlstible force composed
OF the following factors: the Anti-Sa-
icon League Of Oklahoma. the w. c..
r. u. Law and Order Leagues in al
most every county, Ministerial Ali.
ances Of almost every city, nearly two
thousand ministers of the Gospel who
have been giving unstinted time with.

strict enforcement of the Prohibitory
lawf, many thousands OF good men

organization. but who believe In up

Since the establishment of the state
anl local agencies there has not been

ment. Among the churches who have
held these meetings are the Christian
church, the Methodist church, both
North and South, the Presbyterian
church, the Congregational church and
the Baptist church
AS an Illustration of the irresistible
force with which this proposition np
peals TO the person who makes an In
vestigatipn OF It's merits, attention 1:
called to the recent visit of Carrie
Nation Of world fame as a temper
ance worker who came to Oklahoma
for the express purpose of helping t

f. f. Cain, who has conducted the
campaign for the adoption of the
agencies, before leaving for the west
ern part of the state whore he will
make some speeches favorlng this
question gives out the following re-
port:
Il am satisfied that the agencies
will be adopted by a majority of close
to twenty-five thousand My belief
is founded on reports that ] have re-
ceiyed from every county in the state,
These show that the agencies will get
over ninty per cent OF the former Pro
hibition vote, and we will get more
than twenty-five per cent OF the vote
rhe west sice of the state will give
It's usual majority and | have strong
hopes that we will carry the east side.
Everything now indicates it.
THE wonderful showing maze in
the decrease Of drunkenness and
crimes of all kinds. taken in eonnec-
tion with the fact that business con
ditions have BEEN materially bene'
fitted, instead OF injured, as was feared
by many; by the passing of the sa-
| looms, and also the fact that the
question is not based upon a political
but moral basis, has added many
supporters to the agencies.
"The fact that the defeat OF the
agencies would destroy all means OF
obtaining liquor for medicinal and
scientific purposes and the realiza
tlon that this would place us in posi-
ton where the law would have to be
violated, and would consequently make
enforcement OF the laws much harder
has added many friends TO this ques
ton.
Another thing that viii make many
votes for the agencies, ls, that al

N(REEWDENCE OF CROOKEONEsS

If the Santa Fe Organ wishes some
more evidence of its crookedness dur
ing the days when Oklahoma Territory
Ans run IN the interests Of the car
petbagger, the double bid by that
paper in its cinch printing contracts
with Judge Burford should be entirely
satisGactcry
The maximum amount that could be
paid for the printing OF the thousand
volumes of Supreme court reports
was $500 per volume. For volumes
6, z, 8,.9, II, IL and 13, he Capital
received s3,0OO.00 for each thousand
volumes.
When the l4th. volume was advertis
ed for bids, the State Capital put In
lis bid as usual fr $3,000.O0 but sub
3equently Warden-Ebright placed
bid for s2.250.00 for the thousand vol
lmas. and there Is still on file a sec
ond bid by the Capital In which tha
organ offered TO do the work for S2o.O'
less than any other bidder judge
Burford let the contract TO the State
Capital for $2,250.00.
Another inetance in which the state
Capital had on file two bids, was vol
ume 10. One bid for 100000 and th'
1ther s2,S50.O0. Although Judge Bur
ford let the bid to the State Capita
lfter IL had submitted second bid
ana It was known to Judge Burtor'
that the work could be done for les'
than SS.000O0 yet the very next yea
he let the State Capital have the Morl
for s.. 10000, the maximum allowed b.
law for the work.
This year under Democratic admin
istration, the State Capital bid on th'
work and was awarded the contrac
as the lowest bidder for $l,O9 pc
