The suggestion of Governor Will

cost of litigating. 1t was pointed
out that appeal is not a right but a
privilege; that the courts of justice
are not being closed to persons who
have need of them, but that the ap-
peals which are made from such
courts should be paid for by the per

TAXES DUE SEMI ANNUALLY;
IMPORTANT CHANGE IN LAW

Oklahoma City, April An i'm
portant change in the laws as re
CARDS the time Of paying taxes and

les of the law from the secretary Of

quent on the 5th day of June there

ter the same of record on the date
received"
No demand of taxes shall be neces-
sary, but it shall be the duty of

The PRICE OF SUCCESS

Many people pay terrible price for
success, sacrificing for it health and hap
piness. Neurasthenia, atypically Ameri-
can disease, is due to worry over the
struggle for success more than to any
other one thing.
Neurasthenia is a condition of nervous
exhaustion in which the system fails to
recuperate after unusual demands upon
its nervous energy. Its symptoms are
over-sensitiveness, irritability, a DISPOSE
ton to worry over trities, headache, pos
sibly nausea.
The treatment is one of nutrition OF the
nerve cells, requiring non-alcohollc
tonic. AS the nerves get their nourlsh-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed towards building up the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation OF
the diet have proved OF the greatest bene-
fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, IS
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Begin the treatment today before
your condition becomes chronic.

Chicago North Shore society people
will have to yield the palm to the his
tory loving people of Baraboo. Some
months ago the exclusive set of the
north side went up and down the lake
hunting for Indian trail trees, enclosing
them in iron fences and erecting bronze
tablets on granite boulders to tell his
oric tale.
Several of these trees are still in
existence in Cook county and all of
them have been suitably marked. But
quite recently the Baraboo society has
been presented with an instrument, by
the use of which trail trees were mark

In the early days it was common
thing to use trees or rather saplings in
making Indian trails. The Indians were
accustomed to bend sapling so that it
it would grow with an odd shaped crook
n it. The government en- ineers were
accustomed to mark the trees by chop
ping off the bark and then indenting
the letters ''B. T. =" which are supposed
to mean blazed tree Exchange.

DangerFro11 Dogs

W. w. Warner of Madison has sent
this office a copy of the Tampa,
(Florida) Tribune which tells of a num-
b n of people being bitten by viscous
dog at Arcadia in that state and the
paper comments on the canine nuisance
in part as follows:
Dogs were once necessary to aid IN
the protection of isolated homes, but IN
this day of telephones, automobiles and
automatic revolverp, they are of little
use from that point of view. And they
are of utterly no use to persons dwell
ing in towns and cities. A hunt
ing dog is a pleasure, but it should be
kept in the country and property re-
strained from doing possible harm to
human beings.
Unrestrained dogs are a constant
menace to every member of the COM
munity in which they are allowed to
roam. They not only carry disease
g erms, and spread animal infections
which cost the people of the United
States millions of dollars every year,
but they are constantly murderous
m anace on account of the latent posi-
bility of the development of rabies.
Why should the citizens and taxpay-
ers of any community spend thousands
of dollars every year to protect their
homes and families from possible Grim
inal activities, and then be forced to
permit useless cur to suddenly go mad
and kill without even the incentive of
revenge or gain?
The thing is preposterous. Dogs
should not be allowed to live in close
contact with man. Like many other
obsolete things in this modern day,
the dogs usefulness is over, except
for sporting purposes, and when used
for that, he can be kept under cont1o
where he can do no harm
