Stomach Sufferers
Squander Millions
In Search Of Relief.
Trial Package of stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets Free.

The world Is full of dsordered
stomachs and 80 per cent of the mon
ey spent upon physicians and drugs
goes in an attempt TO cure the stom-
ach
People are made to believe that in
order to gain health they must doc
tor their stOmachs and use cathar-
| tics. So the doctor gets his fee for
the stomach treatment nd the drug
gist for the physic, until the savings
of a life time are exhausted and yet
no cure.
/ Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach is in every case
! the result of over-eating, hurried mas
tication and improper choice of foods.
The mucous lining all the way down
the food tract loses its sensitiveness,
and when food is forced down the
muscles fail to respond. They do not
churn the food as they should. The
glands no longer give out gastric
| juice to dissolve the food and render
| il capable of assimilation. The man
has become a dyspeptic.
There is one sure way and only
one to bring positive relief. Put into
| that stomach of yours the very ele-
ments that it lacks to get that food
into liquid form. 1t takes pepsin, dias-
tase, golden seal and other ferments
| to accomplish this The healthy stom-
ach contains these elements. The
dyspeptic stomach lacks part or all
of them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
is made up of just what the dyspeptic
stomach lacks-nature's digestives.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
a medicine, not drug, not a cathar-
tic. They do not cure anybody OF
anything but Dyspepsia and lndiges-
ton and such ailments as arise from
poorly digested food.
While they digest the food the
aomach recuperated The mucous
membrane is coming out OF its stupor,
the gastric juice is coming to the sur
face, the muscles are regaining their
power. Every organ of the body takes
on new life, the skin gains color, and
the eyes are no longer tinged with
yellow. You live.
Why doctor and why drug YOURSELF

care of your food while Nature cures
you.

CITY SCHOOLS
ARE CLOSED
ON ACCOUNT OF LACK OF GAS
FOR HEATING THE BUILD
INGS.

The schools of the city were closed
yesterday and today on account of
the gas situation in the city that is
depriving them of means of heating
the buildings, Professor Evans said
this morning that the schools would
not resume until something was done
to furnish heat so that the children
would be comfortable. He also stat
ed that if the weather this winter
was as it was the first winter he had
charge of the city schools that there
would not be school for at least
twenty-five days. He was very posi-
tive in his statement that the schools
would remain closed until the wealth
ed grew warmer, or the gas situation
was relieved.
Professor Evans further stated
that it was costing the city of Ard
more $3.50 per day for every day the
schools remained closed.

lie said his name was 7. b.
DresimOus Armstrong, and he was
as black as ton OF coal. He also
said that ne was from New Or
leans, but that is a question that is
rather to be left to the imagination.
At any rate, he arrived in the city
few days ago and began to look
around and see how the Land lay
and after getting things located to
his satisfaction proceeded to get
busy. with the result that the Leeds
Woolen Mills lost four suits of
clothes and small amount of cash.
The police have been at work on
this case for several days, and yes
terday they received a tip that a
coon in the vicinity of Lewis place
on East Main street was doing
clothing business on the installment
plan. They swoopei down on him
and sure enough he proved to be
the right party. Three of the su'
were recovered, but he said that the
other one was in the possession of
his accomplice but failed to give
his name. The police are inclined
to believe that he did the jab
alone and has the other suit plant
ed somewhere. He was turned over
to the county and the chances are
that the Louisiana 'nigger" will
wear striped suit at McAlester
as soon as The court gets action on
his case.
W. A. GilIiam's store was broken
into a few nights ago and cigars,
tobacco ami chewing gum taken.
When arrested, Alphabetical Arm
strong had in his possession great
bundles of cigars that he said he
won shooting craps in an alley, but
owing to the weather yesterday,
Chief Garrett was rather inclined
to doubt his statement.

The meeting of the eX-kentuckians,
scheduled to be held in the district

of perfecting arrangements for at
tending the inaugural ceremonies at
Oklahoma City on next Monday, was
not in any sense a disappointment
to the sons and daughters of the

The first matter taken up was that

the inauguration and from the voices
of those present, the fact was soon
established that Carter county would
be represented by no small delega-
tion of the governors native states

The following committee on ar
rangements was appointed: Perry
Maxwell, chairman: Prof. Chas.
Evans and Mrs. H. d. McCollom.
The committee was instructed to
canvas the city and vicinity and as
certain the number of eX-Kentuck-
ians who will attend arrange for a
meeting of those who contemplate
attending arrange for transportation

seats in the auditorium for the in
augural ceremonies. The committee
was also instructed to procure and
furnish badges for the delegation,
and make such other and further pro-
visions as will insure the bunch a
good time.
Upon suggestion of one of the Ia
dies. it was instantaneiusly and
unanimously decided that Mr.. Cruce
be given a public reception under the
auspices of the Kentucky club, on
Saturday evening before his depart

that may be-. This suggestion gave
rise to much enthusiasm, but con-
elusive arrangements could not be

BOXING CONTEST
WAS GOOD SHOW
CLASSY BOUTS STAGED BY A. A.
C. AT Robson OPERA HOUSE
LAST NIGHT.

The boxing contest held under the
auspices of the Arlmore Athletic
Club last night was a huge success
as far as the contest was concerned.
A small but appreciative audience
was present At no time in the his
tory of Ardmore has such classy
boxers appeared before the public.
The preliminary bout between Sun
ny Snow and Imported Percy was
"A give and take affair and in
the end Imported Percy proved to
be such warm member that Sunny
Snow melted away.
The semi-windup between Tommy
O'Rourke and Young Jeffries was
first. Tommy with the Abe Attel hit
ami get away tactics played a tattoo
upon Young Jeffries' topmOst mast
At that Jeffries gave a good ac-
count of himself in the second
round, when he gently laid his right
up against Tommys nose. The
crowd was more than pleased with
O'Rourke's speed and finished box
ing. O'Rourke won the decision on
lengths. Young Jeffries had some
forty or fifty pounds over his op-
pOnent in weight.

between Battling Minor anil Young
Ketchell, went to a draw. Both of
these boys are classy and there was
some lively stepping about. In the
beginning it seemed that Bat had
much the better of the go, but in
the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds
Young Ketchell evened things up
by sending Minor into the ropes at

DEMOCRACY OWES NO Apollo
GIES,


In little less than week Oklaho-
ma will have IA new executive. This
fact in itself is cause for felicitation.
And, despite all doubts and suspic-
ions-all charges and inuendoes,
there is more than "A modicum of rea-
son for asserting that the new order
Of things is going to be vastly better
| than the old.
If Governor Cruce throws off the
Haskell influence and boldly steers
course of his own, then he is 60
ing to have the support of the people
of the state. He can fail and fail
miserably only by permitting his pre-
decessor TO influence him against his
better judgment.
After watching the trend of events
carefully the World gives It as its
mature opinion that Lee Cruce is not
only going to be governor of Okla
homa but is also going to act inde-
pendent of the old political crowd.
Such appointments as the COVER
nor-elect has made is confirmatory of
this view. His selection of a Eiyate
secretary could not have been better.
! +. S. T.. Amos, editor of the Ninita
| Leader, has never been numbered
among those democratic editors who
defended anything and everything

Amos has not hesitatcd to criticise

has been a candid commentator first

In selecting such man for such a
personal office Governor Cruce gives
evidence of a policy that it is not go
ing to be difficult for the World tc

The result of the campaign charges
made against Mr.. Cruce is seen crop
ping out in the anti-Haskell press o
the state. The charge that Cruct
would be dominated by Haskell has
led some editors to fear that such
would be the case.
In the first place the democracy o'
the state owes apologies to no one
for the Haskell administration. The
governor has proven himself equal tC

dons.
We believe his administration Will
reflect credit upon the state and

The opening scene Of the prologue

trees We're not so large as those of
the same species growing in New
England.
Mr.. Nash saw number of good
pieces of property that could be pur-
chased at prices which would appear
ridiculously low in Vermont He
mentioned one 100 acre farm with
good buildings that could be bought
for $1,000 and a 75-acre property that
was on the market for 5000.
The low prices are due. according
! to Mr. Nash's observation. to the
: fact that the young men and women
( have emigrated to the United States,
leaving only the old people and chill
dren on the farms. In his opinion
the recent reciprocity legislation en-
acted at Washington will create a re-
action and that farm values in the
provinces will improve.

ces Finally at p. m, they effect.

The conference began at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. The wool bill as
agreed upon will be reported TO the
Senate today by Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin, and TO the House of Re
presentatives by Representative Un-
derwoOd. They will direct the course
of the bill in those two bodies. AS
the House has the papers bearing up
on the bill, the body will have to act
first.
The bill was so amended as to re.
quire that the proposed law shall
take effect October l, instead of Jan
uary /, as provided in the senate and
House measures. The conferees
hope to have the report adopted In
both houses today and the bill quick

most respects, the duties on the man,

reduced below those in the Senate
bill so as TO make them correspond

Instances they were made higher
