EARLY WEDS
CONDUCIVE To
immortality
SUCH WAS CONTENTION OF c. l..
REDFlELD OF CHICAGO, IN AN
ADDRESS BEFORE INTERNAL
TIoNAL PURITY CONGRESS.

San Francisco, July 20.-COntrary
to popular beliefs that early marri-
ages are particularly conducive to
morality. C. l.. Redfield, of Chicago,
addressing the international Purity
Congress here today, declared that
they were more conducive to immor-
ality.
The biographies of the great men
of the world particularly the moral
and religious reformers, furnished
evidence, he said. that great men
were the sons OF old parents vino had
done much work. Confucius, VINO was
born when his father was II years
of age; Buddha, whose mother was
three generations of ancestors span
ned 1S5 years; and King David, who
was the son of Jesses old age; and
who became the father of Solomon
when % years old, were some instan-
ces he cited.
In contrast, in this age, in this
country, he pointed to the widespread
practice of marrying young-so young
that in many states grooms in knick-
erbockers and brides in short dresses
were even recognized by law, and
said:
Il say to you, positively, that these
child marriages are laying the foun-
dations for new sources Of vice and
crime. A campaign of education on
the question of early marriages is
urgently needed.
Perhaps some of you think that to
thus delay marriages would be to
largely increase the immortality
among the unmarried. Heretofore
you have based your judgment In
such matters on common sense, but
am telling you now that there is
sound scientific reason, heretofore
overlooked, why such marriages are
an injury to the race. The injury is
not to those who marry, but to those
who come after them. The product OF
those early marriages is the first step
in the production of those forms of
vice which we have taken upon our
shoulders to eradicate.
Il am not asking that all marriages
be delayed to the age of % or 80
years. That may or may not come in
the future when we know more than
we do now, but at present | am ask
ing that we put stop to the mar
riage of children-a stop to that kind
of reproduction which breeds the men
tally and morally unfit"

SMOOTH OPERATOR TTAkES
ESCAPE FROM PENITENTIARY

Oklahoma City, July 19.-According
to information received from McAles-
ter Saturday morning by Sheriff NJ.
C. Binion, Charles Walker, formerly
foreman of the steci gang at the state
capitol building, escaped Friday night
from the state penitentiary
Walker, according to the sheriffs
office, had served three years or a
seven-year term for forgery, being
sent up from Miami, but was paroled
at the end of three years and came to
Oklahoma City. Here he secured work
on the capitol building and was made
foreman of the steel construction
gang. He also became secretary and
treasurer for the local steel workers
union.
While holding the latter position,
he was charged with making a false
entry on the unions books and appro-
priating the money. BY putting up a
smooth talk and getting the good
graces of the county officials, he was
released, only to start floating bad
checks at the smaller outlying gro
Gerry stores of the city. He was then
taken to McAlester to finish his term,
his parole being revoked.
The letter from the assistant war
den announces a reward of $25 for
the apprehension of Walker, and
gives two Photographs of the escaped
prisoner. No trace of him has been
found here, according to the police
and sheriff's office.

FARMERS
ARE FIGHTING
HOG CHOLERA
LOSS OF STOCK AT CONFEDER.
ATE HOME HAS PUT OTHER
RAlSERS ON THEIR GUARD -
SIX LOST.

The appearance of hog cholera
among the herd at the Confederate
Home has put the farmers in this
vicinity on their guard against the
ravages of the disease, and they are
taking active steps to check it.
Six of the herd at the Home have
died, and of the thirty-four that were
inocuated by Agent Graham of Love
county yesterday, a majority will be
saved according to a statement from
Supt. Iiams this morning.
Mr.. Graham left Tor his nome this
morning and stated before leaving
that in his opinion the disease would
be confined to tbS herd at the Home,
as there was none other in the i'm,
mediate vicinity.
Mr. Iiams stated that it was for
tunate that he was able to secure
the services of the Love county agri-
cultural agent when he did otner'
wise the Confederate Home would
have had to purchase its meat the
coming year.

Proud CITY Of Smyrna.

Smyrna can lay claim to loftier
lineage than perhaps any other city
on the earth. 1t is her proud boast
that from the earliest dawn of history
down to the present bombardment her
continuity of name and fame is un-
broken. 1t is in this spirit that she
claims Homer for a citizen. His river,
the Meles, which gave him name,
runs near the city; and the cave is
still shown where he wrote his poems.
Smyrna has not been slack in appro-
priating Homer, endowing him even
with a local temple. The saddest chap
ters in the history of the city are
those which record earthquakes and
massacres of Greeks by Turks.

Cupid at the Home.

Marriage license was issued today
to F. r. Johnson, aged 60, and Sudie
v Hargrave, aged 64, both inmates
of the Confederate Home.
The lady in question has been an
inmate of the Home for several
months and has relatives in Oklahoma
City.
Professor" Johnson, by which title
he is known, having taught school for
years at different points in Carter
and Marshall county, has been in the
Home only three months, coming
from Lebanon, at which time he was
clerk of the Baptist church at that
place. Prof Johnson was for many
years correspondent of The Ard
moreite, and, with the many other
friends of the young" couple, who
wish them a prosperous matrimonial
venture, The Ardmoreite heartily
concurs.

To Keep Milk From curdlina.

An important particular in which
COWS milk differs from mothers milk
for feeding infants is that the former
Is likely to curdle. Some children fed
on cows milk are apt to suffer from
the formation of large, tough curds. If
citrate of soda is added to milk in the
proportion of half a dram of soda TO
pint of milk no curds will be formed.
Given in this proportion, citrate of
soda is said to be entirely harmless
and is often found very useful in feed
ing infants The addition of barley
water or any other thin cereal cruel
has much the same effect.

OKLAHOMA is SECOND IN
PRODUCTION OF PETROLEUM

Washington, July 20.-Production of
petroleum last year was the greatest
in the history OF the country 29O,312,-
535 barrels.
Final figures assembled and made
public today by the geological survey
show that the total output, 265,762 ,535

CITY FARMER SAYS CORN
CROP is IN GOOD SHAPE

Oklahoma City, July 19.-In the ten
mile valley south of Oklahoma City
corn is now in roasting ear and it is
estimated by G. w Carrico, who lives
in the city but who is one of the
most extensive farmers in the state,
that it will yield forty bushels to the
acre. This does not cover all the
corn in the state however, but only
that on the bottom land. Mr.. Car
rico owns a farm OF 100 acres there.
Wheat on the Carrico farm south
of the city and in that neighborhood
has already been threshed and has
yielded from ten to nineteen bushels
an acre. The average is about fifteen
bushels. The wheat in that section,
as well as wheat all over the state,
will test below sixty this year, but
much of it is good wheat.
Wheat that will weigh 60 pounds
to the measured bushel is good
wheat" said Mr.. Carrico. Even if
it tests 81 it is dollar wheat all right.
In all the fields | have seen the Med
iterranean wheat grown in Oklahoma
for number Of years, show the least
damage from rust"
Wheat has been a dollar number
of times" he said but it went up
and down and | didn't happen to hit
a dollar market but once"

The Way Of Going.

And after all it may be best, Just il.
the happiest, sunniest hour of all the
voyage, while eager winds are kissing
every sail, to flash against the unseen
rock, and in an instant hear the bill
lows roar above a sunken ship. For
whether in midsea or 'mong the
breakers of the farther shore, a wreck
at last must mark the end Of each and
all. And every life, no matter If its
every hour is rich with love, and every
moment jeweled with a Joy, will at its
close become a tragedy as sad and
deep and dark as can be woven of the
warp and woof of mystery and death.

CATARRH OF THE THROAT
Is Liable to Produce Catarrhal Deafness

tial loss of hearing is apt to be over
looked. A person may lose half his
hearing before he knows 1t.
For instance, suppose a man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear.
If he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick of his
watch two feet from the ear he may
not suspect it at all. His hearing is
good enough for ordinary purposes.
He goes on without the slightest sus-
picion that he is losing his hearing.
He may have ringing in the ear, or
cracking and swapping sounds in the
ear, or n feeling of pressure in the
ear, but he is not aware that he is
losing his hearing.
Testing the Hearing.
It is a good thing to test your hear
ing with a watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move 1t
gradually away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear 1t tick. Try 1t on
the other side and see II both ears
are alike. If you find that you are
unable to hear the watch on both sides
alike and at a distance Of four feet
from the ear, you may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.
Gargle the throat with cold, strong
salt water, as directed in the Ills of
Life" sent free by Peruna Co. Co.
lumbus, Ohio. Persist in this treat
ment until a cure is effected.
The Best Way to Garsle.
Sometimes catarrh of the nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an ac-
cumulation of secretions in the throat,
that completely fill the space. Unless
these secretions are promptly re-
moved by frequent gargling polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids. as they are some
times called, will require a long time
with the gargling to remove. Gar
Cling according to the proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade-
noids. and no surgical operation is
required.
In order to understand exactly what
is meant by proper gargling send for
a free copy of the Ills Of Life"
During the whole course Of gargling
Peruna must be taken according to
directions on the bottle.

eines can now obtain Peruna Tablets

THE ENGLISH PUB.

For all practical purposes, as far as the public is concerned. and English public house is as truly three. and sometimes even TOUT. different resort :.s If that number Of different es- tablishments were lined up alOnG the street. one next to the other. each under a different ownership and each under 8 separate license. This is a most formidable fact. which seems to have largely escaped the attention which il deserves. as well from the Tublic authorities as from social stu dents and rrformers. The real truth is that if we consider that every licensed house is in fact. on the av- craze. practically three distinct drink ing places. with an entirely different clientele in each. we find that the number of places for the sale ana consumption of intoXicants far eX- ceeds that given by the usual sta
 tistics, and the proportion of such number to population is very much more unfavorable to these islands, as compared with other countries, than is generally understood.
Arizona republican., 1915-05-16

The direct corollary from the above is that were the partitions or screens separating the different classes of bars" in the public houses knocked away-if the law required all ser vice for consumption on the premises 10 be made in one open, undivide& room, the number of drinking re- sorts would be reduced automatically to very great extent. The British nation. is, politically, among the most democratic; in personal habits it is possibly the least so. Here. caste is king as perhaps nowhere else among the white race. and few pub lie houses could hold their present clientele ere their customers com pelled to mingle together as are those resorting to similar establishments in other countries. Such a change would force the licensed Vender of intoXicants to choose what character he prefers to give to his premises, and what class of trade he would endeavor to purvey to. and his eli entele would be confined almost eX- ciusively to one social class.-An American observer. in the London Morning Post

HE WILL PAY
 HIS OWN TAXES
But John T. Dunlap Wants Hidden Values in His Property Assessed to the Owner, to Him Un- known

John T. Dunlap does not care so much for paying taxes on property he owns but he balkS at payment on property on which he had no claim as he informed the city commission yes terday morning, sitting as a board of equalization. He said that he had been assessed Si7,950 for two lots owned by him and that he had been trying to sell them for $15,000. If they are worth as much as the city assessor thinks they are, somebody, to Mir. Dunlap unknown, must have s2,950 equity in them and he suggested that the unidentified property owner be located and assessed. The board will look into the matter
 The matter of the contract with C. Fisher & CO, to whom the contract for paving half the street on First avenue between Monroe and Van Buren was awarded. was brought up.

 A recommendation was offered for the handling of the funds in the office of the city magistrate.
