would have passed the 100,0O0,00O
mark in its population-to be exact,
the country would have tifty-nine more
than that number, a gain of S,027, 1893
during the first five years of the cen
sus period.
These figures are based on differ
ences in population in 1900 and 1910,
and applying to them the percentage
of gains shown, for such proportion
of the present ddcennial period, for
which the estimate is desired. How
ever, it is only an estimate, and not
intended to be authentic. By the sys-
TEN of computation the country will
contain on July /, of this year, 100,-
39931S people and more than 10S,0O0,-
600 on July /, 1920. Including Alas
ka and Hawaii, we would have on July
l of this year 0,75O,O0O population
A calculation made by j. S. Mccoy,
actuary of the treasury department,
gave the country 1OO,O16,OOO people
on Feb. /. He arrived at his figures
on which treasy statements of the per
capita wealth are based, by includ-
ing in his calculations what he calls
the factor of second differences. His
effort was to show the natural increase
within the increase figured by the cen
sus bureau. Mr.. McCoys figuring
leads to an estimate that the conti-
metal population was as follows: Jan.
l, 1915, 99,S75,0O0; Feb. l, 1O0,O16, 200;
July l, 1OO,725,OOO, and July l, 1920
1O9,399,1OO.
Applying the first given rule, popu-
lation of the state of Texas on April
|, was supposed to be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, that of Oklahoma
2,O90,0 600, Arkansas 100000, and Loui-
siana 1,S22,000.
In 1914 the census bureau under
took to publish estimates of the popu.
lation of certain cities and the states
The figures were arrived at by apply
ing the rule of figuring referred to,
but the result was not put out as be-
ing authentic. A nightly protest went
up from numerous places, neverthe-
less, claiming that the bureau had
sighted them in the matter of growth.
The bureau decided to make no more
estimates.

A MASONIC TRIBUTE
TO w. A. WlMBiSH
delivered by NJ. Levin at Rosedale
Cemetery, Ada, April :, 1870
Brother Masons and Friends:

Brother Masons and Friends:
II can hardly control my feelings,
when ! gaze at the lifeless remains
of our departed brother and friend,
William A. Wimbish. Only a few
short days ago he visited his father
and brother in Ada and who could
have foretold then, that in his prime
of life he would be so suddenly and
Unexpectedly taken away from his
family and friends.
Brother Wimbish, my friends, was
a man of remarkable intelligence and
ability, he was in integrity unchal-
lenged, in truth and honor unblem-
ished, and in public and private de-
meanor a perfect gentleman.
81 was not intimately acquainted
with Brother Wimbish, but | knew
enough of him to admire his splen-
did manhood, sterling character and
most lovable and charitable dispo-
sition. The first time l met Brother
Wimbish was a little over four years
ago in the Masonic Temple at Nc
Alester and | shall never forget a
particular incident which occurred
there at that time, and in which our
departed brother played a conspic-
uous part. Out of class of nearly
one hundred Masons who were TAX
ing the Scottish Rite degrees, he was
selected as one of the candidates to
exemplify a certain degree and there
it was, where / for the first time
learned of what kind of clay he was
nodded, and that he was a man
among men and a master among Ma
sons. He was one of those Masons
who would go out of their way to

f BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
If You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally.
SAYS a well known authority. Meat
forms uric acid, which clogs the
kidney pores so they sluggishly filter
or strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from slug
gsh kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
or if the urine ic cloudy offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing. get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy and
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
10 activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoid
ing serious kidney complications.

An Appeal from the State Committee
of Oklahoma.

of Oklahoma.
In line with Governor Williams
proclamation showing the awfulness
of conditions existing in Belgium
and his earnest appeal for the peo-
pie of Oklahoma to cooperate with
this committee in giving food TO these
starving people. We wish to say
that the people of Oklahoma have
given generously; however, We, like
the other states, are called to the
rescue again, to keep an entire ma
ton from starvation.
The hearts Of all humane people
have been tortured since the begin
ming of the war by the terrible suf-
fering of innocent women and chill
dren of Belgium. When one under
stands what the suffering and needs
of Eelgium are, the horror of it al
most paralyzes expression. There is
no work. The factories are closed
because they have no raw material,
coal or petrol, because they have no
market.
The greatest relief commissary un-
dertal,ing the world ever knew has
so far been successfully met, but
the need is constantly increasing. I'm
less America will meet the immedi-
ate future with renewed energy and
bountiful generosity the black tidal
wave of starvation, ever mounting
higher and darker, will leave in its
wake the victims: children, women
and old men, the destitute non-cOm-
batants in Belgium.
What is it the people of Belgium
ask for? They ask for bread and
salt. no more, and it is not forth
coming. They do not ask for meat;
they cannot get it. They have no
fires for cooking and they do not
beg for petrol. Money is of little use
to them. because there is no food to
be bought. with money. Belgium un-
der ordinary circumstances, imports
five-siXths of the food she eats. The
ordinary channels of sale and pur-
chase are closed.
Most Americans eat too much, rath-
er than too little. What you eat in
excess of your needs, what you waste
would keep some destitute Belgian
alive. VIII you deprive yourself a
little in order to help save a brave
nation, which leans upon America as
a big, strong, prosperous brother?
Surely the stuff America is made
of will not falter, will not leave
unfinished any task, no matter how
great, but this means every unit of
our great republic must do its share.
Oklahoma will do its part gloriously,
we are sure, but it remains for each
of you to continue even more gener-
ously in your giving in order TO full
fill this states part in this blessed
duty to humanity.
The state committee IS sending
out this appeal with one aim in view;
namely: of sending a shipload of food
