FINE COOKING

to the young ladies of the domestic
SCIENCE class of the Oklahoma Pres
byterian College for a huge basket
filled with dozen sorts of the daint-

dishes will be nameless here for want
OF sufficient knowledge OF culinary art
on the part of the writer. 1t would
seem to the writer that one of the
most desirable accomplishments for

dication Of having a minute knowledge
Of that science.

COLLECT DOG TAX

Members OF the city council have
agreed that the non-collection of a
dog tax in this city will stop, and
Alderman Wotton was busy yesterday
morning searching the ordinance rec
Ords for the ordinance providing for
the collection OF such a tax. This pa
per is reliably informed that the old
ordinance, which is not now enforced,
provides for an annual tax Of one dol
lar on male dogs and two dollars on
females, in default of which the dogs
not so paid for are empounded. All
dogs properly taxed and paid for will
when the ordinance is again enforced
wear brass tag on their collar CIV
ing the number OF the tax and the
year for which 1t is paid. Under the
present system, the city pays the
pound keeper for every dog empound-
ed and killed, and yet the keeper re-
ceives for himself all moneys collect
ed for animals redeemed, except 9
small percent, and the 500 to $50 pei
month paid the poundkeeper for kill.
ing dogs is a dead loss to the city
which the council have determined
shall be offset by the enforcement o.
the tax on all dogs.

escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters OF public
opinion.
A case In point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. This
attack was made by politician who

Inundated by having to acknowledge

The court decided in favor OF the Coca
Cola Company as 1t was clearly shown
that the only essential difference be-
tween Coca-Cola and coffee or tea is
that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine as the latter and
that the flavor is different.

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMP TLY DISAPPEAR
CHRONIC CRlPPLED-UP SUFFER.
ERS FIND RELIEF AFTER FEW
DOSES OF NEW REMEDY ARE
TAKEN.

It Is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up and bent out of shape with its
! heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys that fail to filter from
tn eblood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on lniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only proongs the misery and cant
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
Is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
neutrali2es and dissolyes all the pois-
onous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poison from
the blood, and drive it on and out OF
the system.
CroXone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles. and
bladder disorders You viii find it
different from all other remedl, IS.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters not how old YOU are, or
how long you have suffered, it Is
practically impossible to t,ke it into
the human system without results
You will find relief from the first few
doses. and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any first-class
drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized to sell it on positive money
| back guarantee. Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
| ache or overcome urinary disorders.
