Oil field runs will be maintained
at 1900 barrels while the gauging
is being done and after that is fin
ished, or about the first of the
month the runs will be reduced.
1t is stated that only 1,500 barrels
will be run for a time. At the oil
hearing Mr. Greer estimated that the
runs would be from 5000 to 5000
barrels day, The umpire in the
field will be notified from week to
week how much oil will be run and
he can do the pro-rating without the
difficulty of uncertainty. 1t is also
stated that after the first of the
month the pump stations at Mud
creek and at Waurika will be closed
and the Healdton station will be
used to pump whatever oil is taken
from the field.

Don't scold your fretful, peevish

rhoea, give a teaspoonful of Cali

hours all the foul waste, the sour
bile and fermenting food passes out
of the bowels and you have well
and playful child again. Children
love this harmless fruit laxative"
and mothers can rest easy after Civ
ing it, because it never fails to
make their little "insides" clean and
sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little

morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grownups plainly
on the bottle. Remember there are

Worse than in Brussels.
Reports received by Minister
Whitlock from Louvain, Liege and
Namur say that the conditions in
those cities are even worse than in
Brussels. Louvain has only a four
days supply of -four, while Liege
has no -four at all The peasants in
many districts have been forced to
exist on legumes, as the crops OF
beets and cabbage have been ruined.
The meat and milk supplies also
have been cut off, the army having
taken the cattle.
1t is declared absolutely essential
that food be obtained from England,
and it is hoped that the first ship
ment now is on the water.
Nearly half of those people whe
have been able to remain in Bel
gum are wandering aimlessly from
town to town, seeking shelter and
friends and relatives. Malines, which
formerly had 10000 inhabitants, has
few undamaged houses standing. The
same situation exists at Namur and

Crowds Stare Blankly.
Other crowds are gathered about

mutely at the cathedral with its
shattered windows and tottering
walls, damaged beyond repair by
shell fire.
Similar conditions are found in
the small villages between Antwerp
and Brussels. The villages that stood
near contested forts were literally
razed, while many of the inhabitants
remain living in rude sheds and
tents.
In Brussels the sides of buildings
