Dear Sir: | wish to submit to you
statement of the business done by the
Vmita Blue Flint Chat and Gravel

represent the amount of chats you
have used, or half the amount, as we
were loading with teams and a great
many times could not load on account
of the roads and being unable to get
the teams.
We are now arranging to build a
track from Quapaw to the rock piles

load all the chats the market will de-
mand
We have contracted for all the chats
owned by the Petersburg Land and

about ten car loads per day, we have
on hand at the mines more than three
Thousand car loads at this time, these
chats are all blue flint, free from dirt

Hookworms and Wooden shoes.

According to w. F. Arnold. NJ. D.,
late surgeon In the United States
navy, writing in the Medical Record,
the hookworm larvae. because of the
activity OF their movements. can pen
citrate into any crevice of a shoe that
win admit water. and he believes 1t
Ii probable that the larvae may be
able to penetrate creyices between
sole and upper which win not admit
water. Ordinary shoes with machine
sewed welts will not keep one i'm
mnne from the hookworm. The wood
en- sole is necessary. he says.

The reasons assigned for high taxes

The reasons assigned for high taxes
in Sundays issue of the Oklaho-
man is positive insult to the
intelligence of the people of Ok
lahoma. For instance when the
local board had assessed property in
'Vinita at it's full value the state board
raised it fifty per cent, and the raise
was ordered too late for the county
boards to act. The least said along
this line will be the best for the Okla

HAIR FOR SKIN GRATING
Applied In Chopped Form, 1t is Found
to Be Good Substitute for
Ordinary Cuticle.

Chopped hair has been successfully
by the French surgeon. P. Carnot, who
has applied his method in many
cases. 1t is based on the fact that
the cells of the hair and it's roots
are epidermic outgrowths and can
easily be transformed into skin cells
The Use of hair not only does away
with the necessity of taking skin from
other persons. which is a painful oper-
alton, but 1t is said to he an improve
ment as well, as it is strong and
hardy, and being Injured to a minimum
of nutrition is able to thrive under
unfavorable conditions, such as pre-
vail where grating is necessary.
The manner of performing the
operation is simple, few hairs being
pulled from the head of the patient
or of relative, anv with the dubious
root removed the freshest or newest
parts are cut into small pieces so as
to form a coarse powder. This pow
der is then strewn over the surface
of the wound and a pror-~ bandage
applied.
Within week white spots appear
on the surface. rapidly increasing in
size. The spots extend and thicken
and finally form perfect new skin.

SOME MICROBE TIPS

Then Miss Morris told, how germs
from the flies in their tracks over the
wax had been collected and the cul-
ture used to infect guinea pig,
which died in less than day.
THE same principle, it was ex-
planned, would apply to a larger ami
given for fatal results to an infant.
From this illustration was drawn the
necessity of protecting, with mo-
squitc netting, infants and food from
the ravages of the ordinary house
fly. Paper wrappings for bread and
other edibles. even down to lemon

"And do not forget to swat 'em, !"

Clean Body-Use plenty of soap

The Musical LAUGH.

So much do we hear and read of
the attraction of laughter that we find
it almost shocking to realize how very
seldom a musical laugh is heard.
Very few men have agreeable
laughs. Women as a rule understand
the art little Better. Laughter comes
more naturally to them. Not because
they have a great sense of humor, but
because they use laughter for a great
er variety of purposes than do men.
Women laugh in coquetry and they
also use a light laugh to bridge con.
versational gaps. Women really use
laughter In all their lighter moods.
All laughter to be at all attractive
must first be natural. So. then, the
ideal laughter of a man or woman
must have sincerity as its basis. And
ideal laughter is always kind Real
mirth laughs with a person. never at
them.

HE WROTE THE COX" MINUET
Haydn the Composer, Writes Music
for Butcher and Receives Beef
as Payment.

There is no sensible reason for
the titles attached to many pieces of
music, some of them even classical
selections. Most generally they are
placed there as an attempt of some
publisher to boom" his stock and sell
his goods. Then, again, some pecu-
liar titles may have their origin in
incidents about as important as the
following:
Haydn one day received a visit
from a butcher who said that himself
and his daughters we're admirers of
Haydn's music, and as the young
woman was soon to be married, he
made hold to ask that the composer
write minuet for her wedding. Kind
Papa Haydn" consented and in a
few days the man of meat obtained
his music. Not long afterward,
Hadyn was surprised to hear this
same minuet played under his win
dow. On looking out he saw band
of musicians forming ring around
