LOOK OUT FOR COLDS --CATARRH
Don't let this Winter bring the annoyance of Catarh
suffering which every and woman who is afflicted
with this disease has cause to dread

First of all remember, if you will
continue to suffer with Catarrh, it Is
your own fault. Catarrh is worse in
Winter because the most common
place precautions against germs ard
contaminations are neglected.
We go to stuffy theatres and inhale
over and over again vitiated and
germ-laden air. We sit in over-heated
rooms, neglect exercise, exclude fresh
air because it's cold, and in a hundred
ways do everything possible to assist
in the ravages of a disease that is al
ready making tremendous progress to-
wards complete sapping of vitality
It is small wonder that Winter brings
additional annoyance to Catarrh suf-
ferers. The nostrils, reasonably free in
summer, are easily stopped up by the

SANTA FE TO GIVE ARDMORE
SQUARE DEAL.

President Ripley undoubtedly made
hit for the "soul-less corporation,
over which he presides. when he an
nounced that the Santa Fe would pay
all just claims arising out of the Ard
more disaster without waiting for
court action.
In a telegram to the mayor of Ard
more, Mr.. Ripley states that this will
be the policy of the company and
adds:
Il propose that careful investiga-
tion Of claims for death, personal in
jury and property be entered upon by
the committee of your citizens which
you have appointed and that a state
ment be prepared and submitted to lis
with view to prompt adjustment Of
such claims in cash upon reasonable
basis"
Mr.. Ripleys message is taken as an
admission of the roads responsibility
for the calamity and naturally 1t is
very gratifying to Ardmore people 1t
shows a commendable spirit upon the
part of the corporation and at the
same time means more prompt and
less costly settlement of the claims
than could be effected through litiga-
tion. There is no question that the
course which Mr.. Ripley has decided
upon is wise one from purely busi
ness point of view and at the same
time it will make friends for his com
pany.

GATHERED SENTENCES

Borrowed money soon begins to look
like borrowed trouble.
Wealth has it's penalties. You never
hear of poor man spending money
for dyspepsia tablets.
When fortune begins to smile on a
foolish man he thinks it is up to him
to sit down and bask.
A bachelor says the simplest kind of
simple addition Is the adding of one
and one to make one.
The woman who says she wouldn't
marry the best man on earth usually
weds one that is no good.
In looking backward a woman sees
only the bright places in her past, and
man sees only the high spots in his.
Any woman can keep an expense ac-
count, but not more than one in a
thousand can make it tally with her
cash.
1t takes a smart man to dispose of
his property in a way that will shut
out the lawyers as well as his rela-
tives.
Many a young man loses sleep
nights wondering how he can win the
only girl when all he would have to
do is ask her.
And the average man spends nine
tenths of his life trying to accumulate
enough money to enable him to spend
the other tenth in comfort.

PROSPERITY WAVE ADVANCES.


That the long advertised prosperit.
wave is at last actually advancing owe
the south and southwest including
Oklahoma, is the conclusion reached
by such competent authority as thi
Manufacturers Record. Probably nc
publication in the country exercises
more care in collecting information
pertaining to trade and industry in
this section than the Rreeord, and the
opinions which it expresses are usually
well considered. In the course of a
recent editorial the Record said:
During the last eight years we
have had no period of broad general
prosperity in this country. We have
had brief spurts in some particular
lines Of industry, and we had five or
six years of exceptionally good con-
dltions nthe production and price Of
cotton, but in all this period there has
been lack of enthusiasm and snap.
Railroads were feeling the full effect
OF the hampering restriction against
capital and corporations, and, there
fore, could do but little improvement
or extension work. New railroads
were scarcely to be thought of, except
where here and there some daring
attempt was made to build a srdall
line.
Zone of the most depressing and at
the same time most noticeable fea-
lures in connection with broad study
of the whole south was the lack of
that optimism and enthusiasm and de-
termination to achieve things which
had been SO pronounced for many
years prior to the panic of 1907.
: NOW the whole scene has been
shifted. The stage apparently has
been set for new order of things.
The mighty panorama of broad
southern development which has been
moving so slowly for the last eight
years begins once more to unfold with
Increasing rapidity.
mo one can pick up a southern
paper anywhere from Maryland ont to
Texas and Oklahoma without catching
the note of optimism which is being
struck by everybody in every direc-
tion.
The iron and steel industry. is
crowded as it has not been since the
early part of 1907.
Cotton mills are fully employed,
and there are more signs of activity in
the enlargement of existing mills and
the construction of new mills than for
eight or ten years.
THE lumber industry shows a re-
viving tendency with ad ancing prices
and a heavy increase in demand.
The phosphate rock industry, al
most dormant since last fall, begins
again to show signs of life, and, with
activity, mines long idle are
now being started up.
Vast expenditures are being made
for the development of shipping facil
tiles and port improvements along the
entire Atlantic and Gulf coasts from
to Texas.
"The souths wonderful grain crop
Of 1,6oO,O00,oo0 bushels. or 346,OO0, 600
bushels in excess Of last years yield,
has been an illumination to the entire
country as to the grain-growing poten-
tialities of the south. Coincident with
this is the heavy increase in the pro-
duction Of meats and tho greater at
tention that is being given to livestock
raising, hogs and cattle alike COM
more attention in the south
now than ever before.
"And added to all this improvement
is the remarkable change which has
taken place in the cotton market"
