The third regular storm period is
nearly coincident with the central
vernal equinox. 1t is central on the
25th, and extends from the 23rd to
the 18th.
Disturbing causes and what to look
for-The March equinox, being at
this crisis, will blend with and great
ly intensity this regular Vulcan
storm period The Moon will pass its
first quarter at the greatest north
declination on the 23rd 1t will also
pass southwark over the celestial
equator on the 18th and reach it's
opposition with Earth and Sun on
the Goth. This astronomic outlook
will tend to prelong and scatter dis
turbances at this time, bringing in
all probability, two marked parox-
ysms of storms and weather changes
One at the beginning and one at
the close of the period. Normally,
the Oath, 25th, 26th and 9th, are
the central days of storm and dan
ger, and it will be wise and prudent
to keep an eye on your barometer,
and all other indications of possible
disturbances, on and next to these
dates. These disturbances will cul-
inmate in cold March rains, with
very probable spurts of snow
change to much colded, with the ris-
ing barometer which is certain to
bring up the rear of storm areas in
the west. Unsettled and threatening
weather conditions will probably be
prolonged into the reactionary per-
iod beginning on the last day OF

March, will mark this period with
added severity The Moon will be
on the equator and in conjunction
with Earth and Sun on the 9th.
The indications are that very severe
storms will pass generally over the
country on and touching Saturday,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the
/ 9th, 14th, 5th and 18th. The first
stages of these storms. If preceded
by sudden rise in temperature and
marked fall of the barometer, will
bring vicious thunder and lightning,
with very probable tornadoes in sec
tons central and southwark. The
crisis of this period may be looked
for within about twenty-four hours
of p. m. on the 18th. Watch your
barometer and all other storm indi-
cations, during and about the days
mentioned Sudden change to high
barometer and cold northwesterly
winds and freezing weather, will
rush suddenly on the heels of storms
at this time.
The second reactionary storm per-
iod falls centrally on the 10Th, goth,
and 21st. This period is at the cul-
mination of the Earth's vernal equi-
nox, which fact calls for uncertain, if
not continued stormy weather

But marked increase of storm condi-

A World Benefactor

DR.. Paul Ehrich, discoverer of sal
varsan, or 600" and known as one Of
the worlds greatest pathologists, died
lately at his home in Homburg. DR..
Ehrlich decided to find, if possible, a
drug that would cure completely the
dread disease of syphilis with a
single treatment. Salvarsan was the
result. One injection into any infect
ed rabbit causes the spirochetes to
disappear Immediately and perma-
nently. \ record OF more than 10000
cases Of persons infected with syphilis
shows that saivarsar effected speedy
cure. Salvarsan is derived largely
from arsenic its effects are powerful,
and should be administered only by
skilled physicians.

DOES ARDM0RE
NEED ACITY
BRASS BAND?
ASK ANYONE WHO ATTENDED
THE PICNIC THEY WILL TELL
YOU MADILL WAS DRAWN ON
FOR HER ORGANIZATION.

Ardmore should have a brass band.
The question was never more forci-
bly, demonstrated than it was yesteI-
day and the day before, when the CEN
import a brass band from Madill to
furnish music for the occasion. This
is not from the fact that there are
no musicians in this city. but from
the very obvious reason that they
cannot seem to get together and
stand hitched" for any lengt', of
time. However, it is time tnat Guch
spirit should be relegated 20 the rear,
and the question of organizing and
maintaining a permanent brass band
in this city gone about in serious
manner, and not only organized, but
maintained after it has been once
started.
The following, from the 8owe, Tex.
Blade is worthy of reproduction
here and covers every phase of the
question:
"A brass band is a public insltu
ton.
"A brass band is always the biggest
and best recommendation small
town can have.
"A brass band in town is a
standing invitation to come 20 that
town.
"a brass band is the best business
setter a town ever had.
"A brass band is the first thing nee
essary to get the business men of the
town joined in teamwork to promote
the general interest of the town.
"A brass band is the best invest
ment the merchants of a town ever
made
"A brass band is just as good an
investment for the doctor, the lawyer,
the manufacturer, the contractor and
the liveryman.
A brass band is the best investment
for the property owners of the town.
"A brass band makes its players
healthy, vigorous, active, progressive,
enterprising and useful.
"A brass band makes its members
the most popular men in town.
"a brass band is welcomed as a
blessing by the pastor of the church
who wants innocent and eleyating
forms of entertainment for the people.
"a brass band is the source of de-
lightful entertainment foc the ladies'
of the town, who weary of monotony
so often, when there is no music.
"A brass band is to the children-
well, it is what they want-and Jhey

delightful inspiration of brass Land
in their own town. 1t is an cncour-
agement to them to be good, to be

and it quickens them to have better

by the umpire to plead and make out

That others have sinned ever more
than he has. The daysman at once
turns to the statute book AMI informs
the defendant, sinner, that the sins
of one man do not excuse another.
That each and every man must stand
on his own footing. The arbitrator
informs the defendant that he is
trying but one case at a time; that
he can not mix up other cases with
the one now in hand. The defendant
urges further that although he has
sinned and broken the law Of God,
yet he has done great many good
things. He says, 4 have performed

made a good citizen, that he has Scrv-

the umpire answers, Those things

Safeguards Against lockjaW
Persons having wounds that are like
ly to produce tetanus, or lockjaw, can
prevent such a result by receiving an
immunizing dose of tetanus antitoXine.
After lockjaw has developed its cure
is practically hopeless. This antitox-
inc costs five dollars a dose, and is
furnished free of cost by the state
board of health at Guthrie to persons
unable to bear the expense. Tetanus
is never contracted through the use
of this antitoXine Authentic cases de-
veloping after incubation are always
due to infection of the wound after
vaccination. The United States gov
ernment in the last thirteen years
has specifically examined for the or
ganism of tetanus sufficient vaccine to
inoculate more than 100000 persons,
and not in a single instance was the
presence of tetanus baccili estab-
ished. Army and navy records show
that in eleven years none of the eight
cases of tetanus occurring during that
time was traceabe to the $4,000 vac
cination performed. Where there is
danger of tetanus infection, safety lies
in vaccination at the earliest pos
sible moment.
