AT the meeting of the good roads
volunteers, held at the city hall last
night, Capt. Hollingsworth announced
the appointment Of the above list Of
lieutenants, each to have charge Of the
construction Of one mile of the Chicka-
sha-Cement Oil Fields Highway.
The mobilizing points of the com
mands of the various lieutenants next
Monday morning were also designated,
as above stated. The "orders Of the
day" call for all volunteers to start
promptly at 6 p, m, and to take their
dinners with them in order that full
days work may be put in on the
roads. The volunteers and equipment
win be divided among the various
bands.
"Our plan is to start at the county
line and work this way" said Captain
Hollingsworth. "We do this for sew
eral reasons. One is that we have
oreanized the farmers along the first
eleven miles, beginning with the coun'
tv line. and they will be on the ground
early with men, teams and equipment
Another is that we have the assurance
that the county commissioners will
take care Of the road between here and
Norge. Mr.. Robinson is now working
on the road running west south oi
the Country club. and his successor
Mr.. Temple, has given the assurance
that this work will be completed We
have therefore arranged to devote oul
first day to the road beyond Norge ant
later work toward Chickasha. Tit
work is now up to the lieutenants ant
we expect every man to do his duty
If we fall down on this undertaking
we might as well quit talking abou
good roads. If we succeed, my ouin
ion is that it won't be long before W
build good roads in the same name
in every direction from Chickasha
Every man in Chickasha must do hi
part and show the farmers that Chicl
asha is with them"

The idea OF break with Germany
over the submarine issue if the peace

here. Some administration men say
privately that the German answer to
the presidents peace proposal is in
sincere. They see little hope of the al
lies meeting the German proposals and
fear the resumption of "unbridled sub
marine warfare" following the fail
ure of the present negotiations.
One of the many interpretations
placed upon the peace notes briefly is
that it is now wholly up to Germany
whether this government remains neu
trail or casts its lot with the allies The
deepest kind of secrecy is maintained
regarding developments at this state
of the game.

THE FOOD VALUE OF BEANS

THE FOOD VALUE OF BEANS
In time of food shortage, lenteIs,
beans, peas and other legumes
should be a part of cupboard pre-
paredness.
Though the amount of protein in
beans is large, they contain only
small amount of fat, and hence the
addition Of fat, either by salt pork or
butter, in preparing for the table is
reasonable, since, in addition to i'm
proving the flavor, it makes a better
balanced article of diet.
When neither pork or butter is to
be had, olive oil can be used.
When properly combined with
other foods, beans can not be con-
sidered indigestible, but when prop
erly> combined so that they form a
portion of a ration, the work Of di-
gestion is more evenly distributed.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat more
rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kid
neys to do more work than nature in
tended. Evidence of kidney trouble. such
as lame back, annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning, brickdust or sedi-
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
maybe weak or irregular, heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require help
Immediately to avoid more serious trou-
bic.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in rri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit You.
