Make Kcly,illlc-Bristow Road Good.


BRISTOW, Okla. Dec. 15.-Quite
n time has elapsed since the Ozark
Trail association meet in Oklahoma
City. At that time the Tulsa deleGa-
tion passed over the trail between
Kellyvifle and Bristow and said that
in their estimation 1t was about the
worst piece of road they ever saw. To-
day If those same autoists were to pass
over a part of that same road they
would be so surprised at the change
that they would not believe they were
on the same trail they had passed
over in November But such is the
fact. For the past four weeks there
has been two gangs of road builders
busy on the ozark Trail out of this
city-or rather between kellyville and
Bristow one crew headed out of
Bristow, the other out of Kellyville.
These men are putting the road in al
most Il perfect ConditiOn-that is as
near perfect as it can be with the first
going over. The finishing touches yet
remain to he put on.

CLAREMORE, Okla, Dec. l5-tire
Chief 5. j. Turk, of this city has been
doing good work lately in getting the
business men of the town to remove
the cause of the fire hazards that are
placed on their buildings. In many
cases the owners of the buildings did
not know that they could reduce their
insurance rates by making n few small
changes which will make their build
ings less likely TO burn. Mr.. Turk not
only secures reduction in the insur-
ance rates for the property owners,
but he also is reducing to a minimum
the fire hazards of the city generally.

2 ABOVE ZERO REGISTERED
HERE A DECEMBER RECORD
But the sun Warmed Things up II BIT :
Aericdlturists say wheat
Not Hurt.

The coolest December weather since
100" was in evidepce carly Friday
when the mercury stood at two de
grccs above zero, according to the an
n"uncement of the local weather oh
server who stated that since the in
stitution Of the local bureau the mer-
curry had never dropped so low in this
month. All cod weather records for
Tulsa were broken in Jaraury 1915
when the mercury went to 12 degrees
below zero.
No damage to the wheat is expected
as aeiiculturists claim the snow is
deep enough TO prevent frost dumag
ing the sprouting vegetation.
Yesterday dawned fair and warmer
and sun that shone all day melted
much of the Snow.

Bodily Housekeeping
CBy Samuel Hamilton. NJ. D.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means of N-rays, the observations OF
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
PavloV, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during di-
gestion is necessary In good bodily
housek coping. To drink pint OF hot
water before meals is good practice,
and those suffering from Il catarrhal
condition of the stomach Will find
benefit in adding about 10 grains
Cono-sxth of n level teaspoenfuD of
baking soda, drinking 1t an hour be-
fore each meal. Those who are in
slowly a pint of medium cold water,
two hours after meals.
If your kidneys are sick, or YOU
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of
the neck. take little Anuric before
meals, This can be found at any good
drug store, and was first discovered
by Dr. Pierce of the Surgical 1nsti-
tute, in buffalo, ~. ".
When rundown, when life indoors
has brought about II stagnant condi-
ton in the circulation-most every
Cne is filled with uric acid-especially
is this so of people past middle age.
This uric acid in the blood often
causes rheumatism, lumbago, swell
ing of hands or feet, or "A bag-like
condition under the eyes. Backache,
frequent urination or the pains and
stiffness of the joints and high blood
pressure, are also often noticed.
Everyone should drink plenty OF pure
water and exercise in the open air as
much as possible. | have found that
Anuric Is an antidote for this uric
acid poison and that ii will dissolve
the accumulation of uric acid in the
body much as hot water dissolves
sugar.

school JANITORS
GET SALARY RAISE
Board of Education Ap-
proves IS Per Cent. Increase
tarting This Month
SOME PAID MORE THAN
OTHERS FOR SAME TOLL

An increase Of Is per cent. in the
salaries Of public school janitors
throughout the city was granted by
the Board of Public Education. at its
meeting last night. The recommenda-
ton was made by George Rcmmel,
chairman of the fuel and janitors' COM
mittee, who stated that such an in
crease in pay was provided for in both
the budget of City Council and that Ct
the board. The advance in salary
takes effect October /.
Dr. Victor Washburn suggested that
the committee make a survey Of the
various school buildings. sizing up
their cubic contents for the purpose
OF making up janitors' salaries for
another year The board thought 1t
would be a good thing for the mem
bers of that committee to do.
Mr. Rommel said that he favored
the increase because the wages being
paid ianitors were insufficient You
can't keep good men for $L25 a day
when they can go elsewhere and earn
$3.50 or S275 a day. There Is 10 use
employing old, decrepit men and OK
pecting to get the same satisfactory
service as that given by young and
vigorous men" he said.
DR.. Washburn declared an inspec-
ton such as he suggested would en-
able the board to apportion the Jani-
tors salaries more equally. Al the
present time. he said. some OF the
ianitors are being paid more inah
others for the same amount % work.
