SUFFERER IN HARD LUCK
Cure May Be Effected, but tho Process
10 a Slow One, and Uncertain
in Its Effect.

There Is no cure for suffering
This does not mean that no sufferer
can be cured-far from it--but that
there is no treatment which is sure to
cure. II a sufferer be taken in child
hood, where the affliction Is first no
ticed. and carefully treated, he can
sometimes be cured, and generally
much improved
Dr. Frank A. Bryant Of New York,
writing in the Medical Record, says
the first thing to do Is to make sure
that there are no distractions in
throat or nose, such as enlarged ton
sils or adenoids The child must be
taught to breathe through the nose.
deeply and slowly, as a habit He
must not be allowed to speak when ex-
cited. nor when laughing or crying
or in the paroxysms OF whooping
cough. He must lever be tickled. All
causes OF excitement must be re-
moved. Fresh air. scrupulous clean
Illness. plain. nourishing food, moder-
ate exercises and plenty Of sleep in
dark room are essential Mental
treatment is of great Importance.
Any measures that will increase men,
tai poise are Of Incompatible value.
The sufferer must be impressed with
a desire to overcome what Is only
bad habit. He must be persuaded to
study the great art of speaking cor
rectly. Thus, by careful, patient work
on the part of his parents. teachers
and physicians, will he gradually
cure himself, or at least SO improve as
to make the affection cease to be Sc
rious.

.pANNEE AND GUTHRIE WILL
OPEN FOOTBALL SEASON HERE

Saturday, october 3rd will mark
the beginning OF the 1914 foot bal
season in Guthrie when the local Fl
5. boys line up ON the gridiron to dc
battle with the boys from Pawnee.
Little is known OF the real strength
OF the Pawnee boys, except that they
have sent word they are coming
down here expecting to go home with
a victory. They have a much better
team than last year as several ex-
perienced Indian players are enrolled
in II. S. there, which makes their
team much stronger.
Not great deal is known OF the
local team as number OF their best
players were lost by graduation and
the foot ball fans are expecWngly
awaiting to see how the youngsters
will fill their places. *.
The Pawnee boys say they are go-
ing to get revenge for their defeat OF
last year and our boys are just as
determined that they shall not. How
ever that, the game promises to be
a good close contest and will be well
worth the while to all those who are
lovers of good clean sport.
& III. S. ia planning for a special
pep" meeting or two to practice
yells and songs. These mass meet
ings will be held some time Friday.
Everybody is urged to come Satur-
day and see good, clean game. The
game will be called at 300 O'Clock
sharp as the Pawnee boys have ito
catch the 500 o'clock train.

GERMANS AMAZED OVER
OPERATIONS OF GREAT
SIEGE GUNS
(By Associated Press J

Berlin Oct. IA member OF the
German parliament, who for nearly
ten years has been connected with
| the army budget committee OF the
beichstag tells some interesting
things of the history of the now
| famous 42-centimeter siege guns
which served the Germans so effec-
lively at Liege and Namur.
The surprise that Germany pos
sessed such mortars," he says, in an
article published in the Neue Zuer-
cher Zeitung, was as great in Ger
many as it was in other countries.
After completion of secret tests With
these guns some time ago, and the
decision of the government to order a
number OF them, it was a problem as
to how to Keep the matter secret.
over forty officers took part in
the discussions at which the military
budget was prepared for submittal to
the budget committee OF the Reich
stag. When a new clause was reach
eG with only the heading Arms the
chief Of the department of arms re-
quested that for the time being this
subject could not be discussed. AT
the conclusion OF the conference he
told me in strict confidence that the
tile Arms involved new siege
The general staff requested ur-
gently that not word be said Of the
matter in the committee; not even
the officers present had any knowl-
edge OF it.
''Six weeks ago | visited an am
munition factory as member OF the |
commission and ascertain |
ed that any number of projectiles and |
cases for these mortars could be pro- |
duced within a very short time. liz

mortars did not wear out rapidly, a !
director OF the company said, There |

The official North German Gazette

With special reference to their pro-

'If a weapon of the German army

POLICY OF PRAYER.

Some of these days the people
Of the United States and especially
those in the states bordering Oh
Mexico are going to tire OF the pol
icv of prayer for peace in Mexico
and they will demand that peace
no brought about in some other way
Tho press and the people generally
have had great confidence IN the
ability of Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan
The spirit of the age Is a spirit OIL
tolerance with the ignorant. Amer
lea has proceeded with becoming
charity Of the enlightened Tor tne
ignorant and has pursued a com
mendable policy of mercy of the
strong for the weak.
Recent developments have piaced
other responsibilities upon this coun
try besides the protection of It's own
subjects. Some years ago Wheh
James Monroe was president thls
country announced that it wouiu
assume the position of being the
big brother for the countries on the
western hemisphere in the promul-
cation of the Monroe Doctrine.
Other countries have respected that
doctrine for two reasons. FIRST
they had confidence in the strength
and good intentions of the American
people and secondly, they entertain
ed a dread for the American sword
If this doctrine is to be respected
America must assume the RESPONSE
bilities which it brings, and dis
charge them in a manner becoming
n great country which has under
taken the protection of the people
of FNlropean countries on this side
Of the sea.
1t seems today that there is an
interminable warfare in Mexico.
The class of men at the head OF
these armies are not such as to in
sure Americans along the border oil
any protection. 1t is assuming n
