ture passed Friday will begin in Nc

duce his charges in writing, also his
witnesses on that day. Processes will
be served at the expense of the state
in the event any of the witnesses fail
to appear voluntarily.
The committee is so empowered and
may punish for contempt What the
charges are or whom they relate is
not known here, other than by rumor
The situation will not, it is believed
furnish anything of a sensation.
Governor Haskell stated that he did
not know when he would approve the
house bill locating the seat of govern
ment in Oklahoma City. and on the
Culbertson site, as presented by the
senate He has until the end of De-
cember under the constitution to act,
otherwise the bill is dead
According to his statement made in
writing to the house democratic eau
Gus, he says he will require a COM
plete fulfillment of the agreement,
presented by promoters of the site. In
addition, the town will be required to
furnish quarters for the state govern
ment free of cost between the date
of removal and completion of the
buildings, also expenses of the removal
will have to be met by others than the
state, ard fees of the architects, etc,
will have to be paid for.
Appointment of the state capital
commissioners is not to be announced
until the bill is signed, but it is un-
derstood the old commission will be
named. They are Tate Brady of Tulsa
who was chairman Boone Williams
of Lehigh and DR.. Leo Bennett of Mus
kogee.
Salaries of the commissioners under
the amended bill are $2,5OO per an

Jure placed it at $4,000 1t is not
believed the commissioners will serve
for that salary

mission and delivering the work of
capital building erection to the state

ng bill was added in the house by a |

Former Case Where the Fling of Peti-
tions Was Not Made Known is
Recalled 6y Attorneys.

Guthrie. okla. Dec. 19-The fear
that the approval of house bill No. /,
locating the permanent capital at Okla
homa City, may be kept a secret until
Guthrie loses her day in court is en-
tertained by some OF the citizens Of
Guthrie.
Under The constitution Governor Has
kell has fifteen days from the time Of
the passage of the bill to approve it.
BY the terms Of the act of the recent
extraordinary session Of the Third leg.
islature conferring original and exclu-
sive Jurisdiction upon the supreme
court to determine suits TO enjoin the
removal Of the capital and normal
schools, Guthrie must file her suit
within ten days after the approval of
the bill locating the capital. If the
governor should approve the bill with
in the next four days and for any rea-
son Guthrie attorneys were not advised
of the fact until the expiration Of the
fifteen days limit allowed, Guthrie
might not be able to bring an action
in court until the ten days allowed for
such action had expired.
It is recalled here that when the in
itiatiye petitions were filed by Okla
homa City attorneys asking for an cleo
tion to locate the capital under the
Oklahoma City initiative bill last
spring, the filing of the petition was
kept secret from the public for six
days, making 1t impossible for Guthrie
attorneys to file protests to the suffi-
cheney of the petitions within the time
required by the law. which at that
time required that such protests should |
be filed within FIVE days after the petit |
tions but did not require the secretary
of state to make public the date when |
the petitions were filed AS a result |
when the Guthrie attorneys filed their
protests they learned that the petitions |
had been filed more than five days pre-
vious and their protests were barred |
under the law.
There is no law. so far as recalled.
requiring the governor to make public |
the date of approving a bill or requir-
ing him to file the approved bill with
the secretary of state on the date that
II is signed Il is well known fact |
that in the past several bills have been
approved by the governor and not filed
with the secretary of state until sew
eral days later
Some good lawyers believe that re-
gardless of the provisions of the act
limiting Guthrie's time to go into court |
to ten days after the approval of the
renewal act the city cannot be barred |
from having her rights determined in
the courts. Their opinion is that the !
perpetual injunction restraining the
state departments from removing to
Oklahoma City. which was put in force
by the supreme court in its decision
on the initiated bill. must be dissolved
before any state departments can re-
move to Oklahoma City
Several of the state officers have
stated that whether the injunction of
the supreme court is binding or not,
they will not attempt to remove their
Offices to Oklahoma City until the SUI
preme court announces 1t will recog
nize Oklahoma CITY as the permanent
seat of government and removes its
offices there

One of the fads that has cropped
out with the settled habit of after
noon tea drinking is the serving of
colored bonbons with the tea in place
Of cube sugar. Some women make
these bonbons, coloring them to suit
the fitting of the table and havoring
them with lemon or orange. Rock
candy is also used for this purpose
Lemon and tea are said to clear the
complexion, but If one is very tired
the tea should be drunk clear or with
a little milk and very slowly. II one
ever noticed the epicurean comfort OF
an old tea drinker with hot cup of
tea one must have observed with what
deliberation the tea was taken. 1t is
a fault with many housewives to let
the tea stand too long after the wa
ter goes on before serving. Seven
minutes is the prescribed limit Of any
brand. and less than five is better
with all kinds. For a second cup
where teapot is for the first serv'
fee, a tea ball or perforated teamak
ing spoon is a convenience.

Health and beauty Hints.

Keep your mind young by fresh, Wig
orous thinking, and your heart sound
by cultivating a cheerful, optimistic
disposition.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to overeat-
ing, to eating the wrong things, and
to irregular eating.
Don't be too ambitious; The canker
of an overvaulting ambition has eaten
up the happiness of many life, and
shortened its years
Throw aside your dignity and romp
and play with the children; make
them love you by loving them. and
you will add years to your lire.
Keep busy; idleness is a great friend
Of age, but an enemy OF youth. Regu-
lar employment and mental occupa-
tion are marvellous youth preservers-
Pure air both indoors and outdoors
s. absolutely essential to health and
longevity Never allow yourself to re
main In a poisoned or vitiated atmos
phere.
Put some beauty into your life every
day by seeing beautiful works Of art
beautiful bits of scenery, or by read
ing some noble poem or selection in
prose.
Don't let anything interfere with
your regular hours of work and rest
but get plenty of sleep, especially what
is called beauty Sleep" before mid
night.
Never compare yourself with others
of the same age or think that you
must appear as old as they because
you have marked the same number
of years.
Take regular exercise in the open
air every day in all weathers; walk
ride, row, swim or play; but. what
ever you do, keep out Of doors as
much as possible.

Married Friends.

am persuaded that friendship is
the basis of true marriage-the man
and woman must be able to get on to-
gether In the serenity of natural COM
radeship without continuous rasp and
jar. They must possess toward each
other the plain and elemental quail
ties Of confidence. loyalty and tender
ness; they must hold the same views
concerning the meaning OF life; each
must desire nothing so much as the
welfare of the other; neither can have
aught which is not at the disposal of
the other Love there must be. indeed.
but not love alone, for love Is of fiery
essence and often fails to result In
happiness either for the lover or the
loved. There is. l believe, an Italian
proverb, Love is a dagger in the
heart" This could never be said of
friendship. The very word itself is
synonym of felicity. Many husbands
and wives, not without love, fail of
amity and dwell in hell because they
are not, first of all, friends. Friend

oneness; love Is the dye and pattern

Tourist Says 1t Is Being Dfvested
of All Interesting Features.
The battlefield at Waterloo, writes
an American tourist from Brussels,
according to the American Register,
Is rapidly being Invested of all It's in
teresting features.
The houses which sheltered men
who helped to make history there are
being torn down, the roads and paths
are being obliterated and soon there
will be nothing left to remind one of
Napoleon's last stand but the great
mound capped by the Waterloo lion.
The museum, where all the battle
field trophies are on view. uniforms,
arms, drawings and pictures, was
never a pretentious institution. but no
visitor failed to look with interest at
the many exhibits behind the glass
doors.
This also is to be dismantled and
the articles which have been carefully
kept for years will be distributed
among the provincial museums of Bel
GUM, where as individual exhibits
they will lose much in value.
