Many people do not realize
what simple constipation or

not corrected. You wonder
why so many women and men
are sallow, have no appetite,
are dizzy, suffer with constant
head pains, heavy feeling af-

exercise have futtering heart
and tired, run down feelings
80 per cent Of liver and stom-

NERVOUS INDIGESTION.
The bowels must have re
stored to them their tone, and
regularity established and this
must be done, not by pills, Gallo

REGULARITY must be estab-

posed raise Of Tulsa gas rates.
1t was called to the commissions
attention that the assembly room will
accommodate l25 persons and is To-
Gated in the heart of the city in easy
access to all hotels and that in addi-
ton to the assembly room there were
private consultation rooms that could
he used by the commissioners during
their deliberations.
J. II. McE.wen, president of the
Chamber OF Commerce, has likewise
informed the corporation commission
that his offices will be at their COM
mand in an effort TO further the best
interests of the citizens OF Tulsa.
Measure PIcased.
City Attorney John Meserve, who
has been accumulating data for the
ed fiCation OF the commissioners. has
expressed hmeslf as highly pleased
with the action of the Chamber OF
Commerce in retaining II. ID. Mason
to aid him In combating the raise in

purpose of selecting an attorney who
could work in harmony with the city

charges OF first degree murder that
he now faces.
The trial. too. is interesting becaus'
OF the manner in which jury was
sought, and because Of the legal talent
which ie arrayed on either side In a
fight for Baber's life.
Early In the afternoon 1t became
apparent that the forty veniremon
were not sufficient. and an agreement
was reached whereby others would
be drawn from among the hundreds
who had gathered at the first session
OF the court. Although both the pros
ecution and defense had formerly
agreed to this plan. the prosecution
later objected to the procedure and
II was then that Judge Hudson ordered
another panel summoned.
1t is expected that the jury will be
selected by this evening and the actual
trial will be begun Friday morning.
County Attorney Tillman is being
assisted in the prosecution by his law
partner, Templeton while Baber is
being defended by Pat Hurley and
B. Moss Of Tulsa and Il. j. Grinstead

HUSBAND HUNTED
WIFE; IS ARRESTED
Got Permission to See Her
in Jail; Gets Arrested
Himself.

When Mrs Arthur Decker, residing
near the waterworks, responded to the
rapping at the front door of her home
she opened the door and faced Dep
uty Sheriff Il. II. Reynolds, who had
in his possession a warrant for the
arrest OF herself and her husband,
charging them with having misappro-
priated two wooden blankets, n quilt
and some children's dresses from Mrs,
Sarah Tabor IN the month of July,
when blankets and quilts were out of
season.
At the time the deputy sheriff ap-
peared at the house the husband was
not present, SO Mrs Decker and the
articles that are alleged to have been
stolen were placed in the sheriff's du-
tomoble and hurried to the county
Jail, where tho woman was arraigned
before Justice Lee Daniel and placed
under a $50 bond for appearance In
the county court, In default Of which
she was remanded TO the county jail.
Being unable to secure information
relative to the husbands where
abouts, the sheriff's force bded It's
time, laboring under the theory that
sooner or later the husband would APP
pear, making inquiries concerning
the plight Of his wife.
They had not long to wait, for with
in a few hours after his wife had been
incarcerated In the county Jail the
husband appeared, asking that he be
permitted to see his wife. Without
the twitching Of a muscle. Under
sheriff Carl Lewis handed a permit to
the husband. who stepped into the ele-
vator and was lifted to the county
Jail, where he walked into the pres
ence of the 1ailer.
After reading the document the
taller instructed Decker to follow him
But, contrary to Decker's expectations
he was not led into the presence oil
his wife. but instead into a cell in the
mems division, whore he will be held
until his arraignment.
