NO MONEY FOR LEGISLATORS.


TIE bill appropriating $4,000 to
pay the expense OF the extra session
of the legislature never became a
law and all warrants drawn against
that appropriation are illegal and
should not be registered by the state
treasurer, according to an opinion
given by the attorney general Sat
urday to State Treasurer Robert
Dunlop.
Numerous warrants drawn
against this appropriation are held
by banks and others who will have
TO keep them at least another year
If not longer. Holders of the war
rants. it is said, will have to depend
on the next legislature passing an
other appropriation bill to take care
of them. Some OF the warrants, 1t
is believed, have been registered by
the treasurer before the question
arose of the law.
The advice of the attorney general
declaring the bill invalid is based on
the opinion of the supreme court in
the capitol case which said that the
legislature adjourned at a time 9TH
er than the legislature fixed for ad-
journment. This is the second
measure that has been declared in
valid as result of the supreme
courts decision in the capitol case
and the fate of another, the mort
gage tax law, is still in doubt.
The legislature appropriation bill
was passed by the senate on June
81. The governor had five days
from that time in which to sign or
veto the bill or let it become a law
without his approval. The govern
or did not sign the bill and the leg
islature, according to the opinion of
the supreme court, adjourned be-
fore the expiration of the five days
in which the bill had to become a
law.

time, going on to Denison, but on the
return trip they spent quite a good
while in this city. President Kene-
flick was also here, attending the
hearing Of the corporation commits
sion, and accompanying the party.
The receivers had nothing to give
out further than the trip was being
made with the view Of making many
improvements, as were announced a
few days ago. The work Of improV-

ChangeabIe Climate
IS A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

DR.. Hartman, Of Columbus. Ohio.
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes, It is the climate, not the germs.
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are of some significance In
diagnosis. Climate, n changeable
climate. is the true cause OF disease
The atmospheric pressure varies. the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area OF high pressure forms In
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east. subjecting millions OF our
population to its influence. The re-
suit is. thousands upon thousands OF
people catch cold. A small per cent.
of these thousands do not get well OF
their cold. 1t goes into pneumonia.
or chronic catarrh, or bronchitis. or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what I am getting at is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality, this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this. however.
Some OF us must have assistance.
The assistance that use for myself.
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men. is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
II the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-na.
II the parents, the grandfather or
grandmother. present those symptoms
that are so well known which precede
cold, few doses of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-rJRna off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is a good one. The medicine
is inexpensive. 1t does no. possible
harm to the system. 1t keeps the
appetite regular and keen. II as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather OF
winter.

RECALL OKLAHOMA
CITY MAYOR.

Oklahoma City. Feb. 5.-A civic
organization for law enforcement,
filed with the city clerk a proposal
for the recall of Mayor Whit Grant.
The statement accompanying the
proposal charges the mayor with
nonenforcement of law against gam
blers and liquor joints. The COM
mittee, in a statement issued to-
night, says that the city policemen
are employed to prevent children
from skating on the pavements, yet
the administration claims it has not
sufficient force to suppress the
joints.

that the school would not be rebuilt
on the present site, and John G.
Brown, supervisor of Indian schools,
has been there this week looking over
the field, and will report this week,

who is now at Washington, asking his
support to movement to locate the
school in this city in event is rebuilt.
while Ardmore is working hard to get
the school moved to that place.
Following the fire, the entire stud
'ent body was dismissed and sent to
their respective homes. Denison
made an effort to have the pupils sent
to that place to complete the years
work in st. Xavier's academy, which
was unsuccessful.

Mrs. Addington, the matron, Mr.. Car

that with the proper effort made and

RooseveIt's Position.

A full discussion of the discredit-
able part Theodore Roosevelt played
in the campaign Of 1912 is a feature
of Saturday Evening Post article
written by ex-President Taft. Mr..
Taft points out that the sources from
which the Roosevelt votes came were
the Republicans as well as the Demo
Gratis who were carried along by his
radicalism and who believed that in
equalities and sufferings in human
society could be relieved by the adop-
ton of governmental measures advo-
Gated by Roosevelt Added to these
were the company of the disconnected
who were glad to find their home
with a party that was a protest
against everything that was and gave
therefore promise of a change ~
their own conditions Reviewing
these facts Mr. Taft comes to the
fair conclusion that Roosevelt was
far from receiving at the polls the
support of a majority of all the voters
who had right to a voice in the
selection at Chicago of the Republican
for the presidency.
