Washington General prospects for
q large yield of fruit of all kinds with

Severe cold snaps in early spring
caused considerable damage to peaches
in many states. Oklahoma, Arkansas

MAKES RHEDMA IISla !
PROMPTLY Dis PPEAR
Chronic, CrippIed-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
Of New Remedy are
Talxan

It is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with It's
keart-Wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, Inc
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
he blood, the poisonous waste mat
scr and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi-.
soneus substances and uric acid that:
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
n ati9n1, and cleans out and strengths
ems the stopped-tp, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out OF
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderfut
.edicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
/ different from ali other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
| It matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, It IS
practically impossible to take It into
tie 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.

NORTH CAROLINA TO THE 'FRONT.'
New York Press.l

The shiftings of political authority
which go with changes of party and
personnel bring some interesting stu
atoms. Just now North Carolina COM
mands attention because of the probs
ability that in the next congress she
will number in her delegation the
leaders of both houses. In the past
the Old North State has more than
cnce been in commanding position,
but never has her representation held
SO many posts of first-rate Importance
as it is likely to count in the next

NETHODISTs HOLD SUBSTANTIAL
RIGHT IN VANDERBILT UNIV.

Oklahoma City, May 1O.-Just De-
fore adjournment yesterday the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. South, in ses-
sion here, voted to reconsider the en-
tire Vanderbilt university case.
The vote upon the motion to recon-
nit the report to the committee OF 10
was reached shortly before noon.
It inst-ucts the committee to follow
the spirit of the majority report and
the supplementary legislation sub
mitted at today's session by Judge N
r. Harris of the Georgia conference
It has developed that the signers
of the majority report which was
adopted by the conference late Satnr-
dav night had discovered that the
church held substantial instead OF
negligible rights in Vanderbilt de-
spite the rulings of the Tennessee SUI
preme court.
This was brought out in proposed
amendment to the report, providing
for continuance of relations for the
interim between the adjournment OF
the general conference and the COM
pletion of the re-conveying of Van
derbilt to the patronizing confer
ences; giving the board of education
authority to confirm or reject trustees
and calling on the commission proyid-
ed for in the majority report to safe
guard the interests of the church.
