What IMAGINATION VIII Do

Doctor Charles K Mills, the nerve
specialist OF Philadelphia, told at a
dinner an amusing story of the In
huence Of the imagination on the
health.
"a young bank clerk" he said,
Feeling tagged from the excessive
heat of a trying summer, consulted a
physician. The physician question:
ed him, sounded his lungs, and then
said gravely:
81 will write you tomorrow"
"The next day the bank clerk re-
ceived letter from the medical man
telling him that his right lung was
gone and his heart seriously de-
ranged and advising him to lose no
time In putting his affairs in order.
''Of course" the doctor wrote, 'you
may live for weeks, but you would do
we'll to leave nothing of importance
unsettled"
Naturally the young bank clerk was
very much depressed by this sad let
ter, nothing less than death war
rant. He did not of course, 60 30
work that morning, and before noon
he was having trouble with his respir-
alton, while severe pains shot rapidly
through his heart. He did not get
up all day, and on toward midnight
he had a sinking spell that caused his
people to seud post-haste for the doe
tor.
The doctor on his arrival was as
founded.
"Why, he cried there were no
symptoms of this sort yesterday.
What on earth have you been doir 6
to your self?"
"The PATIENTS face screwed up
with pain, he pressed his hand to his
breast and said feeb;y:
cts the heart, 1 Suppose, DOCTOR
"The heart, said the doctor. There
was nothing yesterday the matter
with your heart"
"My lungs, them" the patient
groaned.
"What ais you," the doctor shout
ed. "You don't seem to have beer
drinking"
"Your letter, doetor-you told nae
had only few weeks to live"
"Nonsense Are you crazy? l tolC
you to take a months vacation al
the seashore, and you'd be as good al
ever again"
1.-THE patient drew the fateful let
ter from a drawer beside his bed.
"Well, said the doctor, glancing a
it, this is pretty mess. This lette
was intended for another man. M
secretary mixed up the envelopes
"The patient laughed, He sat VI
in bed in fact, he was we'll again
His recovery was rapid.
"Aud what-ended Dr.. Mills, wha
of the dying consumptiye who hat

dctioa that a month at the seashort

Oklahoma City, Okla, July S-The
third of the series Of debates being
held by the quartette of Democratic
candidates for governor was held in
the auditorium here Thursday after
noon with 700 hearers present. The
Lawton band was very much in eyl.
dence and with the band from Ell Re.

sion.
II Murray's effort at Enid lod his
hearers to believe that he couldn't
come back" with all the fire Of his
past career, 1t remained for him to
prove that he has not lost the snap
Of youth and such idea was put to
flight
Murray was the last speaker OF the
afternoon and goaded on by the i'm.
plorlng Of his friends to start some
thing he arose with blood In his eye.
With his very first utterance Murray
declared that Kerr, political represen.
tative present for the Oklahoman,
was paid from Cruce headquarteIs
and that at Enid Cruce was hunting
for Kerr. declaring that he paid for
bIs uope" and wanted n printed.

Ter men present quieted Kerr temper

utterance full of vim. while his sup.
porters present shouted, go it, Bill.

continued and at times he held his
audience In breathless silence. while
again they burst into an enthusiastic
lpr9ar.
At the end of Murray's speech. Kerr
re-opened the incident in which he
was brought into ihe llmelight by the
speaker by advancing to Murray and
repeating his billingsgate, shaking his
fist under Murrays nose. In SEQ
ond. hundred men, friends of both
Kerr and Murray, were on the plat

melee seemed imminent. H. o. Whit.

ever, before blows had been struck or

SIDEWALKS
Of BRICK
ARE TABOO

No more brick sidewalks are to be
built in Guthrie. according to the
plans of the present council. All
sidewalks are to be of cement and
are TO be built on city grade, by
bonded contractors and subject to
guarantee.
The bond for contractors Is TO be
$1,000. The guarantee Is to be good
for three years and the walkB are TO
be built on general specifications
made by the city engineer.
A second ordinance requires a IL
cense fee OF s25. This was opposed
by Morrisons West Side contingents
and finally Il was decided 70 oppose
20 license. The reason advanced by
City Engineer Hooker was that the
city Is put to large expense giving
grades to contractors and should have
some return. The new ordinances do
not prohibit any owner buiEing walks
against nis own property, but he must
directly supervise the work and fol-
low the city's specifications.
After the adoption Of the ordinances
with emergency clauses attached. two
bids or brick sidewalk construction
were received and returned.
