The senator's talk was on "Purity of

his return to Oklahoma, that Governor

FILES REPLY TO BRIEF OF
ATTORNEYS FOR GUTHRIE

Oklahoma City, Jan. 21.-Attorney
General West and attorneys represent
ing Oklahoma City in the capital re-
moval litigation, Friday filed a reply
to the Guthrie brief with the supreme
court. The reply makes only casual
reference to the alleged binding effect
of the Oklahoma enabling act and calls
the courts attention to it's former hold
ing that the act, as we'll as the con-
vention's irrevocable ordinance accept
ing the same, were not binding.
AS to the allegation that the CON
veption's ordinance was either a part
of the constitution or legislative act
of higher than constitutional status.
the reply refers to the courts opinion
in the former case, wherein the elec-
tion of June II was held to be not
legal, and the Oklahoma City attorneys
assume that the court held in that
opinion that the conventions ordin-
ance was nothing more than statute.
which the Legislature was capable of
repeating.
Upon this theory Governor Haskell

sion in Oklahoma City and a removal
act was passed. The brief also argues
that the legislature had a right to con-
vene at point other than the reeog-
nized seat of government

PLAN 70 BUILD
STATE RAILROAD
Public Service Corporation Committees
Discuss Basis of Bill to Build
Road Across State.

Oklahoma City, Jan. PA move
ment to put the state of Oklahoma into
the railroad business in competition
with the great railway systems now
operating in Oklahoma, was started
last night when the public service cor
poration committees of both houses
met in joint session with representa-
tives of the Oklahoma Federation of
Labor, Farmers Union, school land
lessees' organized and the Oklahoma
Cry chamber of commerce to discuss
the basis of bill for the construction
of railroad to be owned and operat-
ed by the state.
The proposed railroad would run
from Beaver county in southeasterly
direction through Oklahoma City and
to the southeastern portion of the
state; connecting the great agricul-
tural sections with the coal and timber
producing sections. Oklahoma City is
boosting the project because of alleg-
ed trouble in favorable rates for its
packing house industry.
A bill will be introduced in the legis-
lature calling for a vote of the people
on $10,000,000 bond issue to complete
the proposed railroad, 425 miles in
length.

BABYs TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when I removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before I could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more ~

it has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
"He has been great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked 1t

"Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con.
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used. Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF
1t, and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added it to his evening meal
Then, as he grew better, he began tc
drink it for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.

give up Postum and go back to tea
His nerves have become steady an6

He owes all this to Postum, for he
