the enrichment of the blood and by
proper rest and by the state of mental
Incidence in which every person on a
vacation should submerge himself.
The man whose nerves and brain
are tagged, should shun taking his
vacation in a city, where the hustle,
hurry and unrest remind him con-
stantly of his own business affairs
and unconsciously disturb and tax his
nervous system. He is unable to con
troll this condition. and his nerve cells
and bodily tissues fail in their normal
absorption, and refuse to rebuild i'm
paired energy.
Hurried eating of improper food,
without sufficient rest to. permit its
digestion, brings auto-intoxication
with its putrefaction, fermentation,
and throwing off of toxins which poi
son the whole system, and the victim
becomes unfit physically, mentally and
nervously to perform his ordinary du-
ties.
at is a mistake" said Commission
er John w. Duke, "to think that sum-
mer is the only vacation time. The
most splendid vacation season of all
the year in Oklahoma is now at hand,
and will continue for at least two
months"
1t is in this fall season, however,
that persons most in need of vaca-
tions often do themselves greatest in
jury. Men who have been confined
closely in their stores or offices for
months, without proper exercise ina.
gine that they are capable of any
amount of outdoor exercise, especially
in hunting. This is the wost kind of
mistake. Without suspecting it, most
men do themselves grave injury in
this way. The younger fellows, OF
course, have recuperative powers sur
ficiently strong to overcome such in
discretions, but the man Of settled
habits should take no chances.
The right thing to do on the fall
vacation is to take moderate exer-
else, but never proceed to the stress
of physical tire or mental dullness
Lie around camp when you feel like
it, and don't be bluffed into stunts of
overexertion. The big apeptite of the
overstrained hunter is too often a pen
atty, instead of a reward. Eat good
food, but in moderation. Cut out the
booze, and the all-night poker game.
Camp is no place for such things,
if man is hunting health.
Physical well-being and longevity
depend upon the normal circulation of
all the bodily fluids; they either
strengthen, nourish and rebuild, or
destroy. Certain forms of insanity
are considered by the worlds best
authorities to be due to improper food,
improper nutrition, and improper cir
culation of the fluids of the body.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-09-27

Worry and distress, with their at
tendant weakening of the bodily func-
tions, gradually deplete the nervous
system. The nerves actually break
down and, unable to protect them
selves, cry out in their distress. Ov-
erwork puts a similar strain on the
nerves. Insomnia, irritability, depres-
sion of mind, and profound mental
and physical WEAKNESS are symptoms.
This is when a man should take
vacation says a recent bulletin of the
Oklahoma State Board of Health. A
vacation does not mean thousand
mile journey to a city, with its endless
distractions. Often the best place for
vacation, or rest may be found with
in several miles of home. Persons who
live in towns or cities should go to the
country, where they may live natural
ly, breathe pure air, and relax body
and mind in the quietness and content
ment of surroundings that impose no
tax on the nervous ystem.
In such places, rest allows the blood
to absorb a maximum amount of oxy-
gen, the lifegiver The stomach and
the digestive apparatus adjust them
selves to the normal flow of digestive
juices that are required to maintain a
proper state of nutrition. The tired
and exhausted nerves are restored by

PECULIAR WILL
CASE INTERESTS
LOCAL RESIDENT
John Keith's Request Of $50.
600 tolMrs. Edith Spreekels
May Be Involved

A sensational will case story, with
an angle which touches q beQuest of
$50. 600 to Mrs. Edith Huntington
Spreckels, now in Honolulu, has come
here from San Francisco.
The story is that told by q Mrs.
Louise Thomson in Los Angeles.
Briefly, it is that she is the daughter
of the late John Keith, wealthy min
ing man, and suddenly she has APP
peared from the unknown to claim his
half-million dollar estate
The story she tells to explain her
long absence from the scene of Keith
later life is one of the most curious
in court annals.
Thirty odd years ago, according TO
Mrs Thomson's narrative Of her brok-
en- life, John Keith and his daughter,
Louise, were shipwrecked off the
Alaskan coast. They we're separated
Passengers chung to ice packs John
Keith saw On a foe a girl whom he
.thought was his daughter and saw her
disappear into the sea.
Rescued by Esquimaux.
He believed her dead. She was
rescued. An Esquimaux found her I'M
conscious and took her to his igloo.
And there, in an Bsquimaux village
the girl Louise. who was Mrs. Thorn
son, lived for is years, and almost for
got her race.
At the end of that period Mrs.
Thomson said she was found by white
trappers and recognized. She was re-.
turned to her old home In British Co.
only to find her husband was
married again and with a family of
five children. Her father had not
been heard of.
HeartbrOken she returned to the
village to live out her life.
Then, in 1912, Mrs. Sarah j. Tedford,
an aunt or sister-in-law, sent for her.
Since that time she has been with

John Keith in the newspapers that she
knew her father had survived the
wreck In Alaska.
The San Francisco Chronicle SAYS
that John Keith's ssfll left $500. 900 TO
hfs brothers and sisters. Mrs. Edith
Huntington Spreckels was bequeathed
$4,000. and Mrs. Willard C. Chamber
lain $4,000 and a limousine. The
University of California had a claim
for $4,000 and it was because OF
dispute over that claim that post
pcnement Of the probating OF the viii
was granted.
Keith. it is said. never mentioned
that he had . daughter. Only one
paragraph in the win indicates that
the testator had any thought OF con-
test. He wrote:
Anyone contesting and successful.
" breaking this viii shall be allowed
$5-no more"
No mention was made Of any child
in the will. and this the lawyers say
makes it possible for child, who can
prove that Keith was her father. to
take the entire fortune.
Mrs. Thonson's story was imme-
diately contradicted by relatives of
Keith. among them Luke Davis, ne
pheM. and Amos Keith, brother.
They say Keith never went to Alaska
at all.
Concerning the disposition Of the
estate. the Chronicle of August IL,
says:
The only distribution OF the estate
made so far was the presentation an
der the provisions OF Keitii'c win Of
q limousine to Mrs. Willard c. Cham
berlain and an auto to Chales lIcCord,
who was Keith's .chauffelr. Further
distribution OF the estate win be held /
up probably by protest on August %
Of Mrs. Thomson and Mrs. Tedford.
Ut was said yesterday that Mrs.
Edith Huntington Spreckels, who was
bequeathed $4,000 by Keith, had sold
her legacy to Morris Windt of the
Eagle Tannery. Mrs. Spreckels is said
to have Withdrawn her petition for q
distribution of the estate"

ENGLISH FARMERS DO
NOT FAVOR SUGAR BETS

The Journal of the British Board of
Agriculture reports that experiments
in the cultivation of sugar beets have
been carried on during the mast few
years In the best working soils in this
district, embracing the area from
Tewkesbury In Worcestershire to
Bideford in North Devon. These ex-
periments show that heavy crops with
a high percentage of sugar could be
obtained. An average of . tons OF
washed beets were obtained to the
acre.
In spite of the satisfactory results
of these experiments, however, only
three out of every 20 farmers who
have experimental in beet growing
have given assurances that they would
cooperate in supplying roots to fec
tory should any of the proposed
schemes materialize. =-=. -. s,
The beard OF, agriculture accounts
for this lack OF enthusiasm in regard
to the proposed, new industry partial
ly by the general inclination of the
farmers of these districts to adhere to
established customs. The assured
profits at present being obtained for
corn, beef, mutton, and mRngolds in
the local market, and the natural pref.
erence to adhere to "a business in
which profit is assured rather than run
any risk In new and uncertain VEN
tire. are other reasons why the farm
ers are indisposed at taking up beet
growing. The introduction OF this
crop would also involve the breakin"
up of grass land. and this is inIprac-
tieable during the present labor short
age.

OF n, Y. COMMISSION
that M0THER-TE ACHER May
NOT LOSE HER SCHOOL POSITION

Albany, N. Y, Jan. ia teacher
may not be dismissed because she alb
sents herself from the public schools
to bear a child. Commissioner John H.
Finley of the state department Of edu-
cation decided today. The decision
definitely determines the status Of
mother-teachers in the state as, under
existing laws. there is no appeal.
One Reinstatement
By the decision today, Mrs. Bridget
Peixotto, a teacher of the Bronx, who
became mother while absent without
leave, and who was dismissed by the
New York City Board of Education for
neglect Of duty. was ordered reinstat-
ed. Decisions in five other mother
teacher appeals are expected soon.
Mrs. Peixotto was dismissed in April
1913. She carried her case to the
courts and the court of appeals de-
cided the determination Of the mother.
teacher question rested with the COM
missioner of education. Mr.. Finley's
decision declared that Mrs. Peixotto's
dismissal made it apparent that the
purpose of the board of education AMI
its officers was to adopt the policy
of dismissing from the service ali
women teachers who absented- them
