Then with his heavy masses at the ends he
ground the Persian wings to pieces and fell upon
the Persian center. The most stubborn fighting,

FLAG DAY
PROCLAMATION

The following proclamation was is
sued by Governor Cruce Monday, call
ing on all patriotic people of the state
TO observe in some appropriate way
the 1S7th anniversary of the adoption
of the American flag on June IA:
THE birth of a nations flag is sec
of the nation itself, At Bunker Hill,
at Concord, and at Lexington, patriotic
lives We're sacrificed that we might
enjoy the liberty that is our choice
possession today; yet the memory of
the line of human generations, would
be less sacred did we not enjoy the
privilege of looking upon the emblem
their heroism was instrumental in es-
tabishing.
"The adoption of the Declaration of
independence was followed in eleven
months by the adoption of the Amer
ican flag, and it is as fitting that we
celebrate the birth Of the emblem Of
our liberty as that we celebrate the
fact of the establishment of our lib
erty.
Wherefore, ! beseech the patriotic
people of Oklahoma that they in some
appropriate manner observe June IA
this year, the 18TH anniversary of of
the birth of the American flag; and es-
pecially do | recommend an revival in
the hearts of our people of the spirit
of gratitude in return for the enjoy
ment by ourselves and our forefath-
ers of 13O years of peace.
Done at Oklahoma City, Okla, this
the 9Th day of June, A. D., 1914, and of
the Independence of the United States
the 13Sth year"

ROSY AND PLUMP.
Good Health from Right Food.


It's not new food to me-" remark
ed a Va man, in speaking of Grape
Nuts.
About twelve months ago my wife
was in very bad health, could not
keep anything on her stomach. The
doctor recommended milk, half water,
but it was not sufficiently nourish-
ing.
"A friend of mine told me one day
to try Grape-Nuts and cream. The re-
suit was really marvellous. My wife
soon regained her usual strength and
today is as rosy and plump as when a
girl of sixteen.
These are plain facts and nothing
I could say in praise of Grape-Nuts
would eXaggerate in the least the val
ne of this great food"

into the most densely populated part
OF the city after nightfall. 1t was,
therefore, decided to hold our pres
ent position and in case of unforeseen
contingencies the heavy warehouses
on pier No. could be securely held.
The marine forces advanced
through all streets to the north of
Avenida Independencia, where they
were met with heavy rifle and ma
chine gun fire from houses, hotels,

twenty-second, the Second regiment

New Hampshire, South Carolina, Yer
mont and New Jersey marched across

ing to the southwark. When our men
met with a heavy fire most of them
dropped prone on the ground or
against lower walls of the Naval
school and instantly the guns of the
Chester, Prairie, and San Francisco
opened fire. The firing was very ac-
curate, directly over the heads of
our men, and in a short space of
time the whole second story of the
building, about 500 feet front, was a
wreck, not a shot missing its mark.
The work Of these three vessels:
