Who Can Doubt Sworn Tesi-

Some time ago began the use or.
your Swan PR GOT with the most re-
|markable results. For years was
almost a wreck and was great sur
ferer- was SO bad at times / would
faint away and had sinking spells.
Finally new doctor was called in
and he said that had kidney trouble
and gave me medicine. OF which i
took several bottles. obtained some
relief from this but l was getting
weaker all the time; / could not sleep.
and suffered so much pain that my
husband and children had to lift me
In and out Of bed. After this time
two friends sent me word to try
SWamp-Root, which did, and am
glad TO state that the first dose gave
me great relief After taking the third
dose was helped into bed and slept
of the night.
took several bottles OF swamp
Root and l feel that owe my life to
this wonderful remedy. The two fam
ily doctors said that could not live
three months. i would have to be
helped in and out of bed ten t,,
twenty times every night. After TAX

days was entirely free from getting

IN It's mail payments by comparison
With what the express companies pay.
Iherc has been an amazing amount of
reckless assertion on this subject.
As. to the particular form OF arsu-
ment which the postmaster general
has employed in his statement 10 the
newspapers, and which was also used
DURING the hearings before the Joint
committee, the committees report
says:
Reckless Computation.
tlsures We're submitted by the
department comparing the average
payments for mail transportat ton he
tween specific cities per 100 pound and
per forty1pOund packages, with fifty
Per cent of the first class express
rates recently approved BY the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, the fifty
PET cent being taken as the railroad
co1npany.s share OF the earnings.
we are compelled to reject the
partment's attempt TO show higher
relative earnings from mail as reck-
less and misleading.
lnasnluch as the joint committee
was especially designated by Congress-
TO investigate and settle this and SIM
liar questions, and spent two years in in
SO doing, its conclusions should be
authoritative. ~ -
I, Nevertheless, IL it, is possible that
the postmaster general has any re-
naming doubts on the subject. he
could readily resolve them by an an
ipeal.to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, before revealing his state OF
mind to the public.

STATE TAX LEVY MAY
REACH CONSTITUTIONAL LINZ r

Oklahoma City. Aug. l-while
the work OF the state Board OF Equal
ization has made slow progress. the
end Of the task Is now In sight and Il
is expected that by the beginning OF
September the tax levy for the year
may be made. while Il Is expected
by members of the Board that the
levy will De very near tho ~ mill
limit set by the Constitution. II iu
thought that there will be some lee
way OF safety between the maximum
and and the needs of the state. This
situation has only been reached by
making advances in the valuations OF
the several counties. al submitted by
the county assessors. however, and
by disclosing every heretofore under
valued or omitted bit of public ser
vice corporation property.
Corporations have been getting
higher valuations by this Board of
Equalization than the valuations on
other property not assessed by the
State Board OF Equalization seem TO
justify. although the valuations liked
by the State board are in most cas"s
close to the actual values of the prop
erty. IL is the assessment by the
several county assessors and the re-
view by the several county boards
that is below par. and as to which
there is great revenue problem tha.
cannot be reached under the present
methods and laws.

For two or three years. off and on.
the question OF providing Durart
with a 'great white way" has been
discussed by various people and or.
CARNATIONS. and even by city coun-
chs as well; but till now. Durant is
apparently as far from a great white
way as before the matter was eve~
suggested.
Several months ago. Water and
Light superintendent Ed Bennett
secured quotations from a prominent
electric house on a large number OF
powerful street lamps, and from con-
tractors prices on erecting artistic

EMPLOY HONOR SYSTEM
IN CONVICT ROAD WORK

The plan OF Oklahoma, as indicpt-
ed In the new State highway law, to
build State roads by using state pris-
oners in such labor. Is TO bo coupled
with the "trusty" system for State
convicts. as developed by Warden a.
w. Dick OF tho state penitentiary et
McAlester II Is the belief Of Mr.
Dick that many gangs OF prisoners
may be sent TO work on the state
roads in the various counties with a
minimum of guards. and without tho
prison cars for their confinement.
There Ia likely TO be seen camps OF
tents with no armed guards at al
along the state highway when 80
law shall become fully operative.
The honor system in the oklahoma
penitentiary has developed to that
point where this sort OF thing Is not

To Keep Skin Healthy,
Youthful, Wrinkleless

Now that the social season Is here,
be especially careful to keep your
skin in fine condition. You know
how conspicuous complexion defects
appear under the bright light Of the
drawing or ball room. Also how very
evident are some makeups when
similarly Illuminated. I have my
self discarded cosmetics entirely,
using process which gives far
better results, and which leaves no
trace on the skin. At night ! smear
on a thin coat Of ordinary mercolized
wax, washing it off next morning.
This gradually absorbs the devital-
lied particles of surface skin, just as
gradually the more youthful skin be-
meath comes forth, providing com.
plexion as clear, smooth and deli
cately tinted as young girls. Get
an ounce of mercoiized wax at your
druggists and try this remarkable
treatment.
Remember, too, that wrinkles, even
the finer lines, are not easily con
cealed in a brilliantly lighted room
You can quickly obliterate these
hateful marks by bathing your face
in solution of powdered saxolite,
OF. dissolved in witch hazel, II pint
And your face won't look sticky as
after using pastes.-Aunt Sally in
woman's Realm.

Supply Closet Gifts.

l..
Beside these things which were
purchased for those in need, gowns.
underwear, baby outfits, bath robes,
bedding, clothing and shoes were
given from our supply closet which
we keep well stocked, mostly by gifts
of new and slightly worn clothing.
From the Red Cross stamp fund we
regularly supply number of tubercu-
lar patients with milk, fruit, eggs.
etc The accounting of this fund will
be found in Miss Bucks treasurer's
report.
"A great many social calls have
been made and AID obtained for peo-
Pile from members of our board or
which no record has been kept and
no report made. These are few
typical cases, briefly told: Early in
the year the nurse was called to a
patient in the last stages of tubercu-
losis. She was lying on an uncom-
Portable couch, without sufficient COW
ering and no one to care for her. We
moved her to comfortable quarters,
secured bed. bedding, covers, ar
ranged to have her supplied with coal
and furnished sick diet. We cared
for her until her family took her in
and dispensed with our services.
"Then last winter We aided fam
+, ily all of whom were Ill. The man
was not able to do the kind of work
The could obtain here, so we paid their
moving expenses to a farm near Fort
/ Madison as the family needed out
door work and could have it there.
"a very pathetic case came to our
attention short time ago. colored
woman with baby two Gays old was
| in a house with no fire and nothing to
eat. We gave her gowns, bedding,
l,groceries, coal and fixed her up COM
fortably.

baby stayed at the station for two

husband was to follow. We obtaintd
