Citizens Of Creek Nation Want Il
Turn Over to Commonwealth
Title to Old National Council
House as Museum.

Okmulgee, Okla.-Citizens of the
Greek nation are hopeful that the
state of Oklahoma will accept title to
the old Creek national council house
at this place, that 1t may be preserved
as historic building and used as a
museum for the keeping of relics typ

IL sold for commercial purposes the
Creeks would receive perhaps less
than SO cents each from the proceeds
of the sale, a sum which they would
gladly forego IL given assurance that
the building would be kept perma-
nently by the state. This was the
capitol of the Creek nation. as Ok
mulgee was its capital, before the
tribal government was dissolved
The building was erected in 1878, Of
native sandstone, when the nearest
railroad station was Muskogee. 40
miles distant, from which much OF the
building material was hauled by wag-
on. It's cost was about $4,000.
In this building assembled the Creek
legislature, or council, as 1t was called,
composed of two houses, the upper
house, or house of kings" and the
lower house, or house of warriors,
the former having 81 and the latter
LA members. In it were also housed
the supreme court, consisting of a
chief justice and three associate JUS
tees, the governor or principal chief,
and the subordinate national officers.
The Creek nation enacted and exc
cuted it's laws in the same manner as
the neighboring states, including cap
ital punishment. The latter was by
shooting.
A large tree that still stands at the
left OF the main entrance to the build

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD d
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not tail to
write Professor MunyoE. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case wil) be diagnosed as care
fully as though YOU had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
1nents. There are rs feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or. enjoy good health. If
had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, March 4.-(Copyright-
ed. 1911, by w. T. Foster.) Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance TO
cross continent March to 3, warm
wave 4th to Sth, cool wave 18th to 18th.
This disturbance will continue the
sold, stormy weather that began near
the Washington holiday and which
will continue cold and stormy till after
the cold wave due on meridian 80
March 10 shall have passed. The sun
spot period will continue to March III.
Venus, Mars, Mercury and Julpeter
are all in magnetic contact with the
earth and the moon, acting as 60
between, aiding in forming the cleo
trio equilibrium between earth and
planets. The sunspots do not cause
our weather changes, but are caused
by the same kind ofmagnetic disturb
ances that bring our earth storms.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about March 10, cross Pacl1c
slope by close of 18th, great central
valleys 18th to 14th, Eastern sections
18th. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about March 10, great central
valleys 18th, Eastern /sections l4th.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about March 10, great central valleys
18th. Eastern sections 18th
This disturbance will pull us out of
a weather condition dominated by
cold winter storms and bring to us
that condition which is more favor
able to the growth of vegetation and
more agreeable to man and beast. A
great rise in temperatures will occur.
The storms will be of greater force,
but rains will not be heavy till little
later.
Indications are that rains of March
will be excessively heavy from the
New England states to Kansas and
Nebraska along and $50 miles north
and south of latitude 80. This condi-

ton shows up exceedingly strong on

expecting excessive rains resulting in
floods in the section of country men
toned, which Is about 1900 miles east
and west and 500 miles north and
south. covering three-fourths OF mill
ion square miles. The probable loca-
ton of these excessive rains seems
TO be such as will cause floods in the
Ohio, upper Mississippi and the Mis-
souri, rivers during the ten days CEN
tering on March 10,
No one can be much harmed by pre-
pairing for these excessive rains and
probabilities are that much may be
saved from damage by the prepare.
ton. All around this great section OF
excessive rains dry weather is en-
pected and the results to the pros
pective crops may easily be estimated.
In the rainy section winter wheat viii
get too much moisture and the wet
weather will make it unfavorable for
farmers to deliver grain to market,
particularly south of latitude 40,
where muddy roads will be the rule.
The dry weather of March in the
Southern states will be favorable to
planting, but will leave the soil too
dry. Dry March weather in Canada
will not hurt. In that section much

per week does not make the happy
home.
The couple who are content to start
out modestly and form home OF their
own can do it by practicing sense and
economy, and such homes are the
basis of our government.
The SIS per week couple have many
advantages over the $500 per week
couple for they are not worried about

maintain their exalted CD position in
society, also the dressmaker's bills

to each do their own work and when
a little funds can be spared something
is purchased for the home that is

ure in denying themselves expensive
luxuries to add attractiveness to their
little home.
In conclusion, | will say any two
young people can start and maintain

First Prize.

| think the best way to live on SIS
per week would be to keep house in
little home that one could be paying
for as ones own instead of paying
house rent every month. But you will
say, there are fire insurance and taxes
and cost, of keeping the place in good
repair. Even this will not amount to
as much as that never-ending rent.
| know a family composed of four
persons whose grocery bill, including
market, for last month february
was onyl $2S, and this included all
wholesome and substantial groceries
with fruit and vegetables.
1t is best to keep COW, not one
that simply gives buttermilk, as some
of the farmers cows seem to be doing,
but also fresh sweet milk, clabber,
buttermilk and butter, all of which
were on the table of the family men,

the place to consume the table scraps
to supply the table with fresh yard
eggs. They would eat no more than
dog and would look so much nicer
around home than a little French
poodle, even If they should wander
occasionally over to the neighbours
flower yard and garden.
These items, with the addition of
life insurance will amount to about
S13 per week.
Some will say this sounds too
prosaic, but we are dealing with facts
and figures, and not with lofty ideals.
And now we have little balance from
