The Modesty Of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
fndelicate questions, the obnoxious eX-
aminations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment OF diseases OF
women. Yet, if help can be had, it is
better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the annoyance and shame for nothing.

HOW TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENT
TIMBER OR AGRICULTURAL
LANDS.

The average individual thinks that
the only way to get title to Govern
ment Lands Is to make homestead
entry and live on same FIVE years be-
fore getting title. He Of the opin-
ion he is limited to 100 acres and he
would not live on tract Of land five
years If the Government would deed
him half a state.
There is a way for any citizen Of the
United States TO obtain title to any
Government timber or agricultural
land in any state in the Union with
out residence or cultivation.
The only way to do this is to buy
U. 5. Government Land certificates
and pay for your land with same.
Railroads aud timbermen obtain title
to Government land in this way.
The Government discontinued issu-
ing these certificates about the year
1888, therefore they are getting very
scarce. The firm of II. b. Sanders 4
Co., Judge Building, Salt Lake City,
Utah, have secured a few thousand
acres of them that they are offering at
the rate of S2j per acre.
The certificates come in 80 and l20
acre pieces, and can be located on any
timber or agricultural land in Alaska
or any state in the Union. Each
piece has letter of approval attached
to it from the Government, and there
is no limit to the time in which to To-
cate them,
According to the official report Of
the Department Of the Interior under
date of July /, 1908, there is still over
70 million acres of unappropriated
land in Oregon, Washington, Califor-
mia and Idaho.
Some of the finest timber land in
the world is open for entry in these
states.
Any person wishing to get title to
some timber land or anticipating start
ING a townsite in the west can get full
particulars by writing the above firm.
When writing it is important that
you mention this paper.

A CHANCE FOR ALL.

There are thousands of acres of good
agricultural land left in the western
states that can be purchased for nearly
nothing.
The firm of II. B. Sanders Il Co.,
Judge Building, Salt Lake City, Utah,
have an option on over quarter of a
million acres that they are offering at
1896 an acre. This land is scattered
all over the state of Nevada and there
is lots of it that will grow crops with
out irrigation. Some of it sdjoins
towns and eau be used as additions to
townsites.
Other pieces, especially that lying
adjacent to rivers and creeks, would
make excellent fruit land.
The above land was selected 20
years ago when the entry man had his
choice of all the lands of the state.
H. II. Sanders Il Co. furnish a cata-
logue of these lands free upon applica-
ton.
The above firm makes a specially of
lands. They can sell you Timber
lands in the Northwest, Oil lands in
California or Utah, Fruit Lands, Irri-
gated Lands, or Agricultural Lands in
any Western State.
They make a specially of State
Lands, Railroad Lands, Land Scrip
and Land Grants.
They secure control of large tracts
and sell at small profits.
The above firm has secured all the
irrigated lands of the Green River
Valley Land & Water Co. The lar
gest Carey act withdrawal of Fruit
Lands in the United States.
Any person wishing to make an ia
vestment in Western Lands should
certainly write the above firm.

ANOTHER FEDERAL JUDGE.

Senator Rayner has introduced a
bill in Congress providing for an
Associate Judge for the United States
District Court for the District Of
MARYLAND to assist Judge Morris,
whose advanced years suggest that
be shonld have come assistance now
in the labors Of bis office, and the
proposed law, il enacted, will be most
timely. The proposition will cost the
Government no greater expense.
Judge Morris has reached the age
limit, when he can retire on full pay,
and unless his labors are lightened
will have to do so, and his successor
will have to be appointed, the two
drawing as much pay, so long as
Judge Morris lives, with but the SER
vices Of one, while il the Rayner bill
becomes a law in return for the two
salaries paid the nation will get the
services Of two Judges-the one,
Judge Morris, almost invaluable.
Therefore, in our Judgment the plan
is well advised.
Judge Morris is an ornament to
the Judiciary. Careful, painstaking,
studious, merciful to a fault and
practical, his well-balanced mind has
rendered him among the first Juiists
Of the nation. In the selection Of
his assistant and successor it il to be
hoped that one so pre-eminent in
fitness will be selected by the Presi-
dent. The State is well filed with
good material, and ia casting about
for suitable person, we do not be-
lieve that a mistake will he made in
the selection of either Judge Stock
bridge or Mr.. r. il. Smith, of Balti-
more City. The former from actual
experience coupled with all the other
qualities of heart and mind that go
to make up a just Judge is already
equipped for the distinguished honor,
while the latter is possessed of rare
abilities as a Jurist and will fill the
position with credit and distinction.
The bar of the State ought not to be
slow in indorsing either of these two
men, if the law is passed, for the
reason, in the first place, that it will
shut off an untimely scramble that
may follow the enactment of the
law, and in the second place, it will
remove all danger of an inferior man
getting the position, which sometimes
happens when rivalries for office be-
come too heated.
The standard of our Judiciary is
at high water mark, and keep it so,
not only for the good name of the
State, but for the common good of
the whole nation.

The marine hospital service has
brought out its report on the long
fight against the spread of the bu-
bonic plague in San Francisco. From
this it appears that the disease was
spread bv a certain kind of flea
which infected rats. About 100000
rats were killed and almost 100000
of them were examined, of which
more than 800 were found to BE- car
rying the deadly fees. The authori-
ties disinfected 2,796 steamships and
$500 houses, examined 1880 sus.
pected cases and inspected 3,97s
dead bodies. Up to June 80 there
had been 159 cases of the plague and

President has submitted to Congress
is expected to prove of material value
to the American exporter. Features
of the old Spanish and Cuban tariffs
which were vexatious and annoying
to both exporter and importer, have

been put forth to make the adminis-
trative features simple and in con-
formity with the United States tariff
decisions and the decisions of the
courts.

No more physicians with consump-

This was the decision reached by the

in session in Guthrie last week. 1t
was found that physicians from the

to Oklahoma to practice, hoping to
benefit their health. The board held
that the interests of patients de-
manded the refusal of licenses to
such practitioners.

RE-CLEANED COW PEAS

Sow them for hay crops--for forage
crops-on vacant land. Put Cow Peas
in every available piece of land you
have. They will wonderfully increase
the value and productiveness Of your
farm. We strongly recommend the
sowing of Mixed Cow Peas. They are
composed of Blacks, Whip-poor-wills,
Clays, sc. The upright growing vsric-
ties will hold up the vining varieties and
will produce much better crops Of vines
and larger amount of forage.
