Had the sun come out three hours

probably be given the announcement
this morning that she is to be the
scene Of the spring training activities
of the Kansas city American assocla-

1t happened thusly: For several
weeks the weather in Kansas City has
consisted of everything in the weather
mans dope book. Early last week it
was seen that training in Kansas city
would be impossible for some little
time. 1t was originally intended to
take the squad to Paris, Tex, but the
reports from that neck Of the woods
indicated that it was raining pitch
forks there and would probably keep
it up for some time to come.
Charlie Carr manager of the
Blues" gave out newspaper inter-
view Saturday in which he said that
any town, with the proper conditions,
and within a nights ride of Kansas
City would be acceptable as a training
place.
Tulsa has a good baseball park, and

When Carr dropped off the train at

was deeply clouded. The ground was
covered with mud, and a cloudburst
looked eminent All this was, Of
course very encouraging to Sir
Charles, who had been up in the air
for some time past, owing to similar
conditions elsewhere. He stopped in
the city, however, to see a few inter

SHERIFF FERREL'S

ofthe new law, Sheriff Ferrel was
engaged in preparing 100 notices,
one for each saloon in the county
notifying them not to sell liquor
to certain persons.
The provision makes it the duty
of every saloonkeeper. when re-
quested to do so by the sheriff or
other peace Office of the county, or
by any parent, wife child, sister,
brother or guardian, of an habitual
or Common drunkard, to post his
name on bulletin board back of
the bar so that it may be seen by
bartcnders, bat not patrons.
When such notice is given it is an
offense to sell such person liquor
or to give away or otherwise cis.
pose of liquor to him.
With the notice sent out is a
warning signed by the sheriff and
District Attorney WOODBURY. that
the law will be strictly enforced
and any violation will be vigor-
ously prosecuted and punished.
Thus far the number of COM
plants has been very small but
when the sheriff is invoked he
must send notice to all.-Sparks

BIG SUMS IN
PATENT MEDICINE

Startling. figures regarding the
sales and use of secret proprietary
medicines and appliances have
been given in the testimony of
Alfred Cox, secretary of the
British Medical Association, before
TIE select committee of the House
of Commons, which is inquiring
INFO the patent medicine traffic.
Cox stated that the graVest
examples of the injury heing done
in this country by extensively
advertised medicines and appli-
ances were found among people
suffering from consumption, cancer
and rupture. He testified that in
numerous cases of these maladies
worthless remedies were tried in
the early stages of the disease,
and when at length a medical MAI:
or surgeon was called in it was
too late to be of any service.
Frauds on the public, the wit
ness testified were perpetrated,
medicines and appliances by the
use of grossly exaggerated state
ments concerning their alleged
curative properties and false state
ments as to The Oh ugs used. Som e
nf the apparatus and articles
advertised we're frauds pure and
simDle. 1t was estimate that in
the syear 1908 no less than
Sl2, 100000 a sum sufficient to
maintain 1000 hospital beds was
spent in Great Britain on patent
medicine.
Among the suggestion made by
the association for the control of
the evil was one based on the
American pure food and drugs act
which provides that the amount
AM kind of drugs used in a patent
medicine preparation must be
specified on the label. Exchange.
