Tobacco Habit Easily Conquered

A well-known New Yorker who has had wide experience, has written book telling how the tobacco or snuff habit can be easily banished in three days without any return of the craving.
 The health improves wonderfully after the nicotine poison is out of the system. Calmness, tranquil sleep, clear eyes normal appetite, good digestion. manly yigor. strong memory and gen ',cral gain in efficlency are among the many benefits. No more of that ner- vois feeling; no more need of pipe, cigar. cigarette or chewing tobacco to nacify the morbid desire The author Fdw. J. Woods. 53f sixth Ave. 443 P.

Another Marlborough Charity

You would think that the Duchess of Marlborough had enough on her hands with all the charities that she cares for and her latest indisposition which has sent her to Harrogate for the cure. ict, in spite of the prisoners wives, the small children's boots, the church army and numerous other institutions that she aids with her purse and her ac- tive sympathy, she has found room in her heart to ''mother" another good work. It is the establishment of a home of rest for the girl clerks and .fypists. She has just bought from Lady Ulrica Barring a charming house called Little Esher Place.

DIRECTORS HARD WORKING BODY

stance was there less than a quo
rum present, and the average at
tendance of the diret tors was little
more than seven at each meeting.
The various committees appointed
by the president have accomplished
a great amount of work. The COM
mlttee to solicit funds for the state
fair exhibit raised $4,000 in cash in
addition to the premiums offered to
exhibitors by oar merchants.
Our county agricultural exhibit
was taken to the state fair in charge
of f. X West, and evidently was
creditable exhibit, for it was
awarded the fifteenth cash prize OF
$4,000. when over thirty counties re-
ceived no cash prize whatever.
There is no doubt but that the state
fair exhibit is fine advertisement
for Carter county and for Ardmore
and well worth the money 1t has
cost our people and the trouble and
work involved in securing the prod
ucts, and in the packing, arranging,
decorating, and the attendance re-
Quired for the exhibit.
The committee appointed to Sc
cure subscriptions 20 the loan fund
, to carry out the "IIomeseekers' Ex-
cursion" OF farm buyers to Carter
comfy met with good success and
secured subscriptions amounting to
approximately $1,250, of which
amount $3.50 has been collected In
cash.
The committee upon advertising
for the "Homeseekers' Excursion
has secured large quantity Of ex-
ira fine folders advertising Carter

Baptist people believe about the
duty and ability OF Christians TO
heal the sick. The fact is, our or
thodox churches are honey combed
with the teachers of this rapidly
growing cult. Their membership Is
having a greater percent of growth
than that of any other church, and
I believe that for every Christian
Science member, there are at least
five in the orthodox churches who
believe its doctrines.
Hundreds and thousands In the
orthodox churches are studying the
Christian Science text book, and they
do not have to borrow 1t, either.
The writer wants to be neutral!
in the matter, and this desire does
not spring from Indifference He
does not feel like the woman when
her husband was in deadlock with
a bear-the first fight she ever saw
without having some choice about
who would whip" He wishes both
well. both are doing grand work for
God ard humanity. He admires the
great Baptist church and has great
respect for its pastor here 1t Is
needed end It's grand work here is
acknowledged by all fair minded
people.
And .he Scientists. too, are need
ed. They do nothing that harms and
much that blesses the race.
We hope all who can will hear
these sermons and will follow them
up with thoughtful investigation. We
feel safe in saying Dr. Masters will
not violate the proprieties, and that
he will speak what he has carefully
studied and will make no assault on
the character of these people or
their founder.
Good will result if the people will
come out in the right spirit.

DR.. Masters Sermons.

OT mdSte' ociHiOHS'
[ see from your paper that th'
pastor of the Broadway Baptis
church will preach a series Of SER
mons against Christian Science, ol
at least that is the inference, fol
the frs. one is to be on FALSE
teachers" and then followed up BY
others on this comparatively new
cult that is increasing so rapidly al
over the Christian world. AS a
rule, religious, or rather theological,
controversies ale harmful to the
cause of Christianity, and rarely do
any gooo. But in this case we
need not fear any bad results. The
harm done in these discussions usu-
ally comes from the attacking par
ty mis- stating the doctrines and
practices of those he opposes.
This generally results from his
ignorance of what his adversary
does teach. Then it is too much
the practice to speak unkindly and
criticise harshly these with whom
we do not agree.
But in this case we do not think
any narm will result, for Rev. Mas
ters is too. much of gentleman
to resort to Tldicule or abuse, and
too good a Christian to knowingly
make mis- statements about anybody.
Then the Christian Scientists are a
gentle folk" who will not fight
back. SO there will be no need to
put on extra policemen during the
discussion. You say it is likely the
Scientists will reply through the
press of the city. This is not their
usual custom. Some of their friends
and we'll wishers may, but the Sci
entists do not preach in their
churches and do not often reply to
criticism through the press. Some
times they correct mis-statement,
if ignorantly made, out they rarely
enter into discussion
| cannot avoid believing it would
be better for any pastor to follow
the advice of The wise old Jew,
when the Apostles were attracting a
good dea, of attention. He advised
that they be let alone, and il their
doctrine was not of God 1t would
come to naught, but # it should be
true, they could not overthrow it
Scientists are not q dangerous. Vi
cious and lawleSs lot of people and
are certainly doing no harm, even
if we dcny the good they claim to
be doing.
They do not teach or practice
single thing that hurts anyone, and
the reverend gentleman would have
to revise the rules of his church
before he could exclude one of his
members for believing and practic
ing everything the Scientists teach.
DR.. Masters is too enlightened a
Christian to forbid anyone casting
out devils or healing the sick, be-
cause he follows not with us"
1t is to be hoped he will not al
low himself to be drawn into the
error of many ether good men and
attack the personal character Of the
grand woman who founded the
Christian Science church. 1t is true
some harsh things have been said
about her, but no chivalrous Chris
tian gentleman can afford to repeat
them when they have been denied
by people who knew her best and
who stand above reproach. We need
not have any fears that much harm
to society to the church or to the
Christian Scientists will result from
this series Of sermons. 1t will be
at least a statement of what the

stock DUR county with hogs. It wa
found that the state quarantine law
were in the way to certain ex
tent, but in a recent letter upor
the subject from the state board o
agriculture upon the rulings OF the
department, hogs may be shipped
from other states, by carefully fol-
lowing sanitary precautions in the
examination of hogs and in the
shipmcnt in disinfected, clean cars
This matter will be worked out to
conclusion at an early date.
The committee appointed to look
into the matter Of building a good
road from Ardmore to Oil City has
been agitating the question with
the county commissioners and the
city commissioners and with the
citizens The good roads meeting
held in this room on last Monday
night was not well attended, al
though widely advertised 1t Is un-
fortunate for all of us that no more
interest was manifested by our bus
ness men, for the matter of good
roads is most important to our COM
munity, and the addresses We're vi
tally interesting.
At the session of the directors on
September 10Th, an address was de-
livered by Mr. f. S. White, agricu!-
tural agent of the Frisco. 1t is the
purpose of the Frisco to operate a
Demonstration Farm" in the vi
cinity of Ardmore provided the di-
rectors will secure fifteen acres OF
land for the demonstration plat and
some responsible farmer to plant
and cultivate land under the super
vision OF the agricultural department
of the Frisco This matter will have
the early attention of the directors.
At the session on September 26,
the directors entered into a con-
tract for the purchase of one car
load 1900 bushels) of Mehane Tri-
umph, pure bred cotton seed, to sell
to the farmers at actual cost, for
seed for next season. The purpose
nd 10 that
it hardly needs mention; 1t is so
we'll known that "better seed" makes
better crops and if our farmers
will use the pure bred seed for
their cotton next season they will
increase the production OF lint from
five to ten per cent, an increase
of from 1000 to 1000 bales of cot
ton from the same land, and with
out additional cost, for the cotton
marketed in Ardmore.
The committee appointed by the
president to secure a quantity OF
Booster" cards for distribution in
all the places of business in Ard
more had neat Booster" card
printed and it is to be hoped that
the business men of Ardmore will
take enough interest in the Boost

cards that they will be conspicuous.

Have We A Democracy
BY SUSAN w. FITZGERALD.

BY SUSAN w. FllZGE RALD.
We call our country demo-
crazy and pride ourselves upon its
being one. WHAT IS A DEMO
CRACY? A democracy is form
OF government where fire final
power rests in the people. Not a
part OF the people that makes an
oligarchy or a monarchy; but
where it rests in the whole people.
Are the men of this country the
whole people? No. Therefore, so
long as the men alone are the
source of power OF the govern
ment, it is not a government OF
the people, for the people and by
the people. 1t is not democracy.
1t is merely country under class
rule, the class being men, who,
after all, represent but hal: the
population; half of those who live
under the laws they make.
You may say that the women
are just as we'll off without the
right to vote. Some are; Others
are not. Many of the slaves in
the South were better off, in ma
terial ways, before the Civil War
than they were afterwards, but
that did not make it right for the
owners to hold them in slavery.
Just so, the men of this country
have NJ right to hold the women
in political slavery. Ana one o,
the worst things about slavery was
the bad effect it had upon the mas
tiers. The political slavery OF wo-
men is not uplifting to the mas
tiers.
This is the day of progress. A
country must progress, or it will
fall behind and another will take
its place. A Democracy cannot
progress unless its people are
growing in intelligence and moral
force. We who believe i'll Demo-
cracy claim that the use of the
ballot is the chief means OF deve-
Looping in the citizens this intelli-
gence and moral ';orcc. The wo-
men are deprived OF this great
means OF development and there
fore must fall behind. Can the
race advance and develop as it
i
