Good Cheer Aids
Digestion of Food
Dyspeptics Can Make the Rest of The
Family Happy by Using
laxative-tonic

IoNdb''C-bOHlC
The temper of the family and the
! good cheer around the table depend
so much on the good digestion of each
J individual present that the expert.
ences of some former dyspeptics who
overcame their trouble should be of
interest to those now suffering in
this way.
The best advice one can give-but
it is advice that is seldom Needed
is to eat slowly and masticate each
mouthful carefully. However, if
slow eating and careful mastication
fail, the next aid is one close to ma
ture, Dir. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.
This remedy is an excellent digest
ant, and in addition to helping in the
digestion Of the food, acts gently on
the liver and bowels, ridding them of
the accumulation of waste that should
long ago have been passed off. 1t is
safe, reliable, pleasant tasting, and
results are guaranteed.
Maj. S. Martin, of Joplin, Mo, now
II, thinks DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
s.n has helped him to a longer and !
happier life. He has not felt so good |
in years as he has since taking this
excellent medicine, and in spite of his
II years he says he feels like a boy.
1t is the ideal remedy for indiges-
tion, no matter how severe; cOnstipa-
ton, no matter how chronic, bilious
ness, headaches, gas on the stom-
lch, drowsiness after eating and sim
liar annoyances.

OKLAHOMA STATE DEBT.
Its Funds and Assessments from
1850 TO 1918

figures from the forthcoming bulle-
tin pertaining to national and state
Indebtedness and funds and invest
ments have been given out by Di-
rector w. J. Harris, of the Bureau
of the Census, department of com
merce. The bulletin carries infor
nation for the state of Oklahoma,
as well as for the other states and
the United States. The data were
compiled under the supervision Of
Mr.. John Lee Coulter expert spec
/ ial agent in charge Of the inquiry
on wealth, debt, and taxation.
The bulletin which will soon be
issued will contain statistics for
each year from 1880 to 1913, in
elusive, as far as statistics are
available, and will also contain de-
tails for the year most nearly cor
responding to 1880 thus making It'll
possible to show the general move
ment during a period of over 30
years. The bulletin will show the
total debt obligations to public trust
funds. 1t will also show the float
ing debt and its component parts.
Under Funds and investments" will
be shown separately all the differ
ent funds, and in each case cash
and securities will be shown. The
population of the states for each
year under consideration will be
used, and the per capita debt (less
sinking fund assets will be given,
An inspection of the tables for
Oklahoma in the bulletin soon to be
issued shows marked changes in the
bonded Indebtedness: $4,000 in 1894
was entirely paid off in 1909. No
further bonded Indebtedness is re-
ported until 1908, when $1,4G0,OOO of
bonds were issued, increasing in
1912 to $3,O5JOOO. No special debt
are recorded The float
ing debt shows remarkable IN
crease from $4,000 in 1893 to ST.
100000 in 1912
In the case of funds and invest
ments the securities increased stead
ly from year to year with the eX-
ceptiOn of 1908, which shows a
slight decrease; the rise was again
apparent the year 1912
recording $5,1G3,OOO, compared to
$4,000 in 1898 The cash fluctu-
lted throughout the period though
A marked general increase is shown
from 1923 in 1893 to $1,114,O0O in
1912.
No sinking fund assets are re-
ported. Although She population
increased rapidly during the perlou
under consideration, it was not suf-
fcient to offset the heavy increase I
in the debt, hence the per capita
shows a marked in
crease.
In 1899 the total debt of Oklahoma
at the close of the fiscal year, Sep
tember 90, was $4,000, advancing
in 1907 Cthe year of statehood to
$4,000 and in 1912 to $7245,OOo.

1t has become a matter of def
mite knowledge-susceptible of
proof by PLAIN, honest figures
that it is cheaper to build good
roads than to use bad ones, and
that the men who pay most for
their roads are the men who try
to get along with the poorest
roads. Some readers may doubt
this, but it will be only because
they have not studied the ques-
ton. If they will get right down
to the actual facts as to what q
bad road costs, they will soon see
that, strange as it may seem, it
is perfectly true that the most
expensive road is the unkept
road, and that good roads actually
do pay for themselves, and q
profit besides.-The Progre sssive
Farmer.

TRIBUTE TO JOHN S. B0ATNER.

All that is mortal of John
Sterling Boa tner, one of the most
brilliant sons of Vidalia, La,
will be borne to his home this
morning, where loving friends
will gaze for the last time upon
his face, now cold in death. 1t
was the face lit up with the
beautiful, cherry smile of friend
ship and love they wont to greet,
but the eyes, from which out
flashed the inmOst secrets of the
heart, and giving them an insight
into his noble soul, have been
closed by the Father of all.
How he was loved by those
who knew himcan be appreciated
by the tribute paid him by his
friend, Mayor W. b. Davidson,
of st. Joseph, La, which We
herewith present:
THE death of this brilliant
young man was an irreparable
blow to his loved ones and to the
people of Uoncordia parish. and
the State lost not only one its
most valued citizens, but one
whose every act and movement
bespoke a most brilliant career.
THE people of st. Joseph, nay,
all of Tensas, had hoped and
prayed that he would be spared
to his loved ones and the people
of Louisiana, for he would have
made his mark Oh the highest
rolls of his State"
The same sentiment were ex-
pressed by Judge John Dale, of
Vidalia, and host of his fellow
citizens who called at the SAM
forum during the week.
Natchez Democrat.
Mr.. BOatner visited Tallulah
on the 25th of June when he
officiated as best man on the
occasion of the Reeves McKain
wedding. He was full of life,
health and hope all of which were
expressed in his appearance and
by his cherry words and smile.
No one could have been more
favorably regarded than he by
those in Tallulah whose pleasure
it was to meet him. The friends
here join their regrets at. Mr..
Boatners untimely death.
