THE WORK OF RUBENS
Last Preliminary Study for His Mas
terpiece, "The Descent From
the Cross"

The last preliminary study for ''The
Descent from the Cross by Reubens
which Is being exhibited at the New
Willard Hotel by Countess Aurelie de
Tonnay for the benefit of the Belgian
needy and the noncombatants of the
allies has attracted the attention OF
Michael Jacobs, portrait painter. who
is in Washington on an important
commission.
'It Is the most wonderful picture
Washington has ever seen." he says.
"As one of the old masters, there is
nothing like it in the Corcoran Art
Gallery, where it ought to be hung.
1t is authenticated as the original
croque Cor sketch) made for the
famous painting that brought many art
lovers to the cathedral in Antwerp. and
was removed recently by the Belgians
in anticipation of the bombardment.
1t is now hidden in England.
The croque being shown here is con-
sidered the finest work that Rubens
ever did. That is the undisputed
opinion of art critics. This little
sketch is the last one made for the
large picture and shows all the divine
inspiration of the master.
Rare Opportunity for Art Lovers.
The coloring for which Rubens has
become noted the world over shows in
this little sketch to much better ad-
vantage than in the large cathedral
piece, for two reasons: First, because
Rubens himself executed the smaller
picture, whereas the larger one was
painted in large part by his pupils
under his direction. Second, because
the large picture has always hung in
a dark place, very high UP, and could
never be examined very closely by the
public. 1t hung above the altar in the
cathedral at Antwerp.
The exhibition at the New Willard
is a rare opportunity for any art lover
and especially any student of the six
teenth century to see this, the original
inspiration of Rubens' masterpiece.
Such an opportunity may never come
again in a lifetime.

Liquid Gold
Oklahoma Oil Opportunity

Oil is the greatest money maker and
Oklahoma is the greatest field in the
United States in the value Of her oil
productions, totaling over $l.OOO.OOO
income weekly. Glenn Pool and other
Oklahoma fields made millonaires ra-
pidly when oil was selling at 80 cents
per barrel Now the price is more
than double. Fortunes are accumulat-
ed almost between the rising and set
ting of the sun in the great Mid Con-
tinent field of Oklahoma.
When one considers that the state
produces more than S1,0000G0 a week
that wells can be drilled in from
six to twenty days, and often these
wells pay for themselves within a
week after drilling, that the owner of
single forty or eighty acres of land
frequently has an income of $500 to
$500 a day and that stock bought in
a company at 81 90 or $1,000 a share
is many times worth 500 to $500
share within year, ones brain reels
at the thought. And vet this is the
history of many individuals in the
state Of Oklahoma that reads like
some fairy tale. The gold fields of
California in their palmiest days are
left far in the rear; the great gold
awakening in Alaska is forgotten the
diamond fields Of Kimberley in South
Africa pale into insignficance. Moth
ing in the history of civilized man
kind has aided man in accumulating
fortunes so rapidly as the oil and gas
interests of the great Mid Continent
tield in the State of Oklahoma.
Here even children Of the white. In
dian and negro races who have had a
small piece of land left to them thru
inheritance have frequently an income
of 500 to $500 per day fro mroyal-
ties, while the Oil Company that is de-
veloping their land is frequently max
ing 100 per cent a month. Language
falls to express the reality and even
eye witnesses can hardly believe the
marvellous facts of production of oil.
A number of strong companies have
been organized and are operating.
Among these is the Great Western Pc
troleum Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma,
incorporated under the laws of Okla
homa for 81 100000 with a strong di-
rectorate of business men, three of
whom are experienced and practical
oil men, which is now offering 10000
shares OF their stock at the par value
of Sl.O0, stock to be sold IN blocks of
five shares and upward.
Those who desire to know some
thing more of the great oil interests
are invited to address B. J. Waugh,
the Stock Salse Manager of the Great
Western Petroleum Company, Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and make inquiries or get
the published literature of this Com
pany giving its holdings and other
facts and figures as to the real con-
ditlon of the oil interests in the State
OF Oklahoma. advt*

HOW TO HEAL SKIN

A Baltimore doctor suggests this

home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar of
rcsinol ointment and cake of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly. until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently. spread on thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a

twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the

BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE

who attempt to keep the general rec.

are. born on this earth mad 60,O00,0O0
or 100000 die. This indicates q
dali birth rate of about 100000 and
death rate Of 10000. The daily
increase in population therefore is
about 10000. The total population Of
the globe is estimated at 1900, 600, 900.
The ravages of war do little to i'm.
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals Of nature.
The Franco-Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The death
roll Of the Russo,Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
(1737, in India) has been. estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The ia

1908 cannot have been far short Of
100000. A tidal wave in 1896 drowned
