 "If you get up a good sized mailing list and send man a letter every month or so, it flatters him." said Mir. Lazarus "None of us ever gets so big that we do not like attentions; like to be catered to. And If letters are mailed to certain number of people every month, telling of some special article which you have for sale. they are sure to produce results"
 Following Mr Lazarus talk Philip Oster arose and said MT. Chairman, in the absence of Bob Ewing I desire to make motion that the Ad club give vote of thanks to MT. Lazarus for his talk here today I am sure we all have benefited by It." The motion was seconded and carried by exclamation.

DEVOTION OF COUPLE
 BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD

The young people were very devoted to each other. They were highly re- garded in chuch, fraternal and social circles of West End. Four years ago Dorothea, a daughter came, to the happy couple and a year later son. Moody Jr.-was born. The Childresses also built themselves a comfortable home at 1906 Lee avenue, a few blocks from the Buff residence. There was everything in the world to live for to Moody Childress and his wife. They had a good home. two lovabIe children, friends and their immediate relatives about them. It was a charming home circle
 And as West End leads in the city beautiful movement the Childress were also forward in that. Every even ing while Mrs. Childress prepared the children for bed the father with hand scythe would be seen clipping the grass. or with hose watering his lawn. And as twilight sank on the scene the father picking up the children would hug them and send them off to visit the sandman And then the young couple would plan for the future of their two children.
 But now that is all over. Both Moody anu Euna CnlluFeSS are now Ill the great unknown.
 FATHER MET DEATH
 IN DISASTROUS FIRE
 Moody Childress was killed on the afternoon of May 8. It happened about o'clock, at time when his wife was already at work preparing his supper. And as Moody Childress was driven by smoke and fire to the window on the fourth floor of the doomed building of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company his vision perhaps en- compassed the scene of his home--his garden his wife and children. And this mirage must have remained with him as he hung on an awning while first one hand and then the other was burned and he fell to the stone walk many feet below, for he died with a smile on his face.
 And at the inf1rmary yesterday morn- ing Edna Childress first visualzed the fire scene of her husbands horrible death for she shuddered. but in her last moments she clearly saw her grief stricken father at her bedside and her brother and sister. She bade them fare well with nod and then with a smile playing at her pain-pinched lips she murmured that she was coming to her husband. It was deaths tribute to love and deXotinn,

INSULTING LANGUAGE d.
RECTED AT RULERS
(By Associated Press. J

Berlin, Dec. 3.--A semi official re-
quest has been issued to the press
through the North German Gazette,
to avoid insulting language about the
rulers of the countries with which
Germany is at war 1t quotes Treit-
schke's words; "War is a sacred
matter" and says that the present
war has called forth and intensified
all the noble qualities lying dormant
in the souls Of the people. The
newspaper declares that oaricatures
of King George, the Car, oLd Presl-
dent Poincare are often exhibited IN
shop windows which do no credit to
the dignity of the German people, and
it contends that Germany must show
itself superior to her foes not only
on the battlefield. but also in the
intellectual weapons of warfare en-
ployed.

that was engendered in this day was
greater than had been expected. IT
was the greatest that has ever been
seen in the state in a concerted move
ment for disease prevention and ell
limitation.
Monday following was disease pre-
yention day. 1t was observed in
more than two thirds of the counties
cf Oklahoma. The civic bodies and
the churches and charitable organi-
zations all united in efforts to teach
the people the value of sanitation and
personal hygiene The work assum-
ed many phases in different sections
Lecturers and motion pictures were
popular and crowds saw pictures OF
sanitary and insanitary situations in
many OF the larger cities and towns
of the state.
DIR. Mahr was particularly gratified
at the cooperation of society and
club women and of educators in the
schools. Each public school in the
state devoted part of the day Monday
to lessons ON disease prevention
Teachers had been urged by State
superintendent Wilson to lecture the
children on common phases of dis
ease prevention and personal hygie2
Mayors and many cities and towns
issued formal proclamations of dis
ease prevention day, and city author
tiles, led by health officers accom-
plished great deal in all such mum
icipalities for the public health in
many ways, as the circumstances in
each place seemed to suggest.

Then get from your druggist 21a ounces

and tastes good.
1t takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the inhamed mem

1t also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end

remarkable incident:
Before the war broke out | suffer
ed from an abscess of the liver thai
was so placed that the doctors sale
ar operation would be too dangerous

thought that / should have to live
with that abscess as long as ii would

ii did not cost me any effort at all to
summon the courage to wade into the
Germans.
zone day we fell upon band OF
Uhlans; we landed every one OF
them, but in the melee, the point of a
lance put me on my back with q
wound that j thought would finally
end my sufferings. They carried me

gan to investigate the wound. What
was that you had inside of you, any =
way?' he asked Whatever it was,
that Uhlan has burst it.. The lance
had pierced the abscess and roughly
performed with success, the opera
