Dr. Hartman Answers Questions
 About The Revised Pe-ru-na

years ago, but did not realize the dif1- culty of overcoming the peoples mo- tions on this subject.
 l made a change in the formula of Pe-ru-na. Quite radical change. A change that altered the color and the taste and somewhat the medicinal effect of Pe-ru-na. did this believing 1t was the best thing to do under the circum- stances.
 Immediately the change appeared, the people began to complain of Pe- ru-na. They generally thought the druggist was to blame, that their bot tie of Pe-ru-na had been tempered with. This made bad feelings between the users of Pe-ru-na and the drug gists The druggists in some cases be- came irritated and aneered and made complaint to the wholesalers and man ufacturers. Thus the trade was tenn porarily in an uproar.
 After a year of exclamation the trade quieted down and the new Pe-ru-na took its~place in the drug stores as a popular household remedy. And vel 1t has not attained the popularity that the other Peru-na had Changing the formula of Pe-r ru-na was equivalent 10 III JTOGuttllS q HeW IlIeulGlle lntp tue drug trade, an extremely difficult thing to do nowadays.
 Pe-ru-na as it is made today is q very excellent remedy for catarrh and general catarrhal ailments. Ii is for sale in all drug stores and has a slight laxative effect, very much need ed in these days. It seemed to me that it was in many ways a better ram edy than before. Yet in spite of all explanations there is considerable de- mand for the old Pe-ru-na as it used to be made.
 I have authorized the formation of a company to manufacture it, under the trade name of ka-tar-no. The Ka- tar-no Co. is located in Columbus, Ohio, and stands ready to supply the trade with the old-time formula of Pe-ru-na under the name of Ka-tar-no.

In response to great many queries I wish to make public statement concern ing the sale of Pe-ru-na.
 No, we afa not selling as much Pe-ru-na as we used to. The reason for this is the change in the formula of Pe-ru-na.
 The patent medicine business is very peculiar and particular. A person who has been in the habit of taking patent medicine will notice very quickly the slightest alteration in color, taste or effect. 1t does not look as it used 10, CT smell as it used to, or have exactly the same taste as it used to. It does not feel exactly the same in the stomach as before. The medicine will be promptly returned to the drug store and new bottle demanded.

OUe tnlng that leSSenS the ln- come of the farmer as much or more than any other, is the fact he can put in only six months in the year in making and gather ing the crop. Out of this time many days are lost from rain and other causes. One, such idle period is found between laying by" and harvest time. Think it over and do something during this period that will be profitable. Cut the corn stalk off above the ear and save 1t. It is rapid way to save roughage and its good.

 All over the State, especially in the low lands, plantings of corn and cotton are lost, drowned out by six weeks rain in June and July. Cookie burs, smart weed, crab grass and fox tai has taken these places and around in great luxury. Cut 1t all for hay .efore it seeds or the stems get hard. It will all, cookie burs and any make very good feed. The stock will enjoy it in the sleety days of winter and less corn will be fed, besides the seed crop these weeds will be lessened by the cutting and if the stock waste 1t in the stalls it willsserve to catch liquid manure and be valuable for fertil- izer for the next crop. If you won't cut 1t. turn 1t under right now as green manure, good and deep.

HE KILLED NEGRO HIS NURSE A WIFE
But Ottawan Didn't Marry the
Widow WingO.
His Fiancee Long Enough to
Get Checks for $21O.

Ottawa, Kan. Dec. 4.-There is no
doubt but that F. c. Meyer, middle
aged widower and highly respected
resident of this city, is suffering from
natural perturbation of spirit and JUS
tifiable wrath, to say nothing about
the humiliation of being hailed into
court. which is just. what is being
done to him.
As stated Mr.. Meyer is a widower,
and in September last was in ST.
Louis, where he sustained an acct
dent to one ankle. Returning to OF
tawa he was compelled by the pro-
gress of his injury to stop over at
Kansas City for treatment. Unable
to walk, he hired a cab, and asked the
driver to take him to a nice private
home where he could be made COM
forta BILE. This the "cabby'' did, in
Producing Mr.. Meyer to a proposes
ing lady whom he named as Mrs.
Ida Wingo, stating that she was a
widow.
Time ''Coursed'' Rapidly.
In the course of time, and it course
ed rapidly, the inevitable happened.
The tender nursing of the widow
convinced Mr.. Meyer that he needed
nurse permanently, and he propos-
ed matrimony and was accepted. The
crosby that is natural to him Mr..
Meyer presented his bride to be with
sundry checks, drawn on the State
bank of Ottawa, approximating the
sum of $210. This, to buy wedding
finery.
And now the sequel In the law
case alluded to the suit is to recover
the above amount. For Mr.. Meyer
was led to stop payment of the
checks. In his answer to the suit,
made by his attorney, H. NJ. Funston,
Mr.. Meyer alleges fraud. He claims
that shortly after the delivery of the
two checks, he discovered that Mrs.
Wingo is not a widow; furthermo
that she is the wife of the veritable
cabby who originally conveyed him
to the house, one Ben L. Wingo. He
therefore claims conspiracy to de-
fraud.
But Mr.. Meyer goes still further in
his allegation of mistreatment. On
October 80, he alleges Ben L. Wingo
and a person claiming to be an officer
placed him under arrest for an all
legged cause, and held him prisoner
and in fear until he, Meyers, agreed
to advance a new check for the amount
of the two he had repudiated. He
did make this new check, was released.

nice little clean up of 100000, which
was all profit to him on his interest

Henryetta.
Monday a 1900 barrel well was
brought in at Cushing which is one 10
cation from an 80-acre piece owned by
Harry Sinclair and others, of this city.
This lease should make a fortune for
the owners, and will be drilled at once.
Smith & Swan of this city, have made
almost a fabulous amount of money
this year, and are still at it.
Howard Galbraith has become inter-
ested in a number of fine properties,
and wherever he drills this year he is
greeted with a gusher. r. S. Litchfield
and Mike Sullivan have some fine hold
ings in Morris and are getting big wells.
In addition to this list, there are many
who have made from $4,000 to $25, 900
each. It looks as if this is a lucky year
for independence operators, and it is
confidently predicted that local oil men
will make at least 81, 100000 profit out
of the business this year.
Today there are ,-pwards of IS wells
drilling in this county, and $50 in the
entire field.
