Istruction because the nights bring
no relief from the heat of the day.
Florida's climate does not bring
lsunstroke The State Health De-
partment has no record of case oc-
curing in the 26 and more years Of
tits history. In genuine sunstroke
the body temperature rises from or
II to 10 degrees above normal and
the patient almost literally burns up
internally. The rare cases of heat
exhaustion in Florida do not produce
this high internal temperature and a
few hours of rest restore normal con-
ditions. Death from heat, even in
Florida'j hottest months, is so rare
as to be practically unknown.
Then the malaria proposition!
Florida has it, as does every other
section where the anopheles mos
quito roams about untamed and
where the individual with the germs
of the disease in his blood is free to
come and go. They have it in Ala
bama, in Minnesota and in Alaska.
land also in the forty odd other
States and possessions of the United
States of America. But in Florida the
health authorities recognize malaria
as a problem to be seriously studied.
They know it's origin and it's meth
DDS of transmission, and they act ac-
cordingly. AS result, the past few
years have shown marked decrease
of the disease in Florida and it is
growing less every year. The prop
er screening of homes is doing much
to work the cure.
And there's another thing about
malaria. Often the diagnosis is

and most laymen don't really know
what it means or recognize the con-
dition when it actually occurs. And
this misuse of the word and Of the
term malaria, has done much to
harm the reputation of fair Florida.
Seeing is believing, or it ought to
be. Unimpeachable records must be
convincing and if Florida summers
are unhealthful, the sick and death
rates don't show it.
These ratios show no increase over
those of the cooler months and more
than that, they are known to COM

Florida Summers

FLORIDA as summer resort is
growing decidedly in favor. 1t has
made remarkable progress in this di-
rection during the season just clos
ing. Not once, but considerable
number of times the steamers plying
between New York and Jacksonville
have made the round trips since
July, l, with their passenger accom-
modations practically filled by tour
lists escaping the torrid heat of the
northern summer climate Sounds
strange, does it not? But it's fact,
and these travellers have stopped over
for a week or two and have been
convinced that Florida summer is
what Floridians claim for it.
Filed 8way in the minds of most
of us is lot of impressions that
have ripened into convictions, and
we don't know exactly where we got
them or why we keep them. We
seldom become sufficiently honest
with ourselves to analyze them to
find out whether we ought to harbor
them.
One of these beliefs that prevails
among some very sensible people out
side the state is that Florida, being
so very far south is inhabitable in
summer only by those who never
lived anywhere else or by those who
ere forced by circumstances to stay
and SO make virtue of necessity
and brag about summer conditions
here.
These same we'll meaning but
hopelessly ignorant people declare
that Florida's excessive summer heat
brings sunstroke so frequently as to
cause no comment; that malaria
keeps us burning with fever or shiv-
ering with chills, and they feel sorry
for the Florida Cracker. native or
adopted for half dozen other ill
defined and intangible reasons.
A few plain, proven facts seem to
contradict these beliefs and if they
could be brought squarely to these
sorrowing critics, they might be
shocked into a change of heart-but
perhaps not, for some Of our pc:
heresies are too deeply rooted to be
removed by facts or arguments.
In the first place, Florida of all
the States in the Union, has the
smallest range Of temperature the
year through, summer and winter
Contrast an annual variation Of six
.ty to seventy degrees with that of
Chicago and other northern locali-
ties, where the temperature glides
from 25 degrees below zero in Janu-
airy, to 100 above in July, with
sometimes change of 40 or SO de-
grees in the same twenty-four hours.
Those are facts proven by the rec
ords of the United States Weather
Bureau.
!. Then Florida has deep, salt water
on all sides, except where Georgia
touches it on the north. From deep,
blue sea come daily the breezes that
moderate the daylight temperatures
and make the nights almost invaria-
bly, cool. The heat waves Of north

NORTH CANADIAN FLOODED;
BRIDGES ARE WASHED OUT

FL Reno, Okla, June 1.-THE
North Canadian river flood which is
now crossing the county, did its worst
work last night and today. The Fort
Smith & Western railroad bridge and
four wagon bridges have been swept
away, and several more bridges are
thought to be doomed. The width of
the stream at present is from one
to two miles and about 10000 acres
of land in the county has bee inun-
dated. At the Brookside stock farm,
near this city, 200 registered hogs
were drowned and at Balls ranch
800 hogs and an equal number of
sheep were drowned. Several farms
near Ell Reno have been practically
ruined. The water was three feet
higher than at any previous time.

pico district, and for some time made
money in the stock raising business
in that section. Two years ago, the
Americans in his district were forced
to flee because of the Mexican in
surrections and Mr. Wourin lost ev.
erything. He managed to reach Tam.
pico with other refugees, but pen
niless, and was carried to Galveston
on a relief ship.
There he was supplied with means
to return home by the government.
When conditions in the southern
country were rather quiet again, Mr..
Wourin returned to Mexico hoping to
recover his property. He was ar
rested, put in prison, and was re-
leased four months later with a num-
Der of other prisoners on condition
that they go to the border.
The last time Wourin's property
was confscated by the Mexican gov
ernment and he is now penniless,
with no apparent chance of recover
ing his Mexican property.

GUARDSMEN
WHO IGNORED
CALL To ARMS
TO FACE MORE SEVERE CHARGES
THAN THOSE WHO AT FIRST
REFUSED TO TAKE OATH FOR
FEDERAL SERVICE.

San Antonio, June 12.-For the first
time. definite information was avail
able today on the status OF the trials
ordered for delinquent militiamen. All
those who came to Camp Wilson with
their companies and who refused TO
take the oath for federal service, have
reversed their action and mustered.
This does away with trials for them.
It is understood.
An officer connected with the court
explained, however, that new situa-
ton has developed. This involved
those guardsmen who failed to report
to their companies at the time of the
mobilization call. The militia recruit
ing officers who have been ordered to
enlist men throughout Texas to fill va
cancies in the Texas brigade in United
States service have been instructed
also to develop the cases against this
class of men-men who ignored the
call altogether
II is known that some men did not
report to their company commanders
at the company's home rendezvous be-
cause they (the mem were out of the
state, or were in distant parts of the
state. Even, 1t Is conceded. some
men may not have been notified of the
mobilization call and may not have
heard of it until days had elapsed and
their companies were already in
camp. On the other hand, 1t is believ
ed some men purposely and with in
tent not to serve remained away and
did not answer the call.
The recruiting officers will cover
the state. They have instructions to
investigate all cases. The instruc-
tons are to make thorough investi-
cation.
Until the court receives reports
from these officers and all cases re-
sulting are disposed of by trial or 9TH
erwise, il will remain intact. Cen
eral Funston said he would permit the
officers of the court to return to their
regular duties with the understanding
that they will report when needed.
This action was taken because 1t Is
believed the other cases cannot be
worked up for some time, possibly
two or three weeks.
This second class of delinquents, 1t

"lasses" White Drawing
Crowds at Palace.

Another record breaking crowd fill
ed the Palace theatre last night to
see the "Lasses" White company in
its musical oddty, "The Outside Inn.'
The scenes and song renditions in
this number were very good, and
the porter, (Mr. Leroy was a scream.
His kind of comedy is infectious, the
house being in an uproar from the
time he appeared on the stage until
he ambled off, big feet and all.
The quartette sang several songs
exceedingly well, and was encored
three or four times at each perform
ance. Another noticeable feature of
this show is the ballet. The girls
sing well, dance well, and wear beau
tiful costumes. The show is clean in
every way. No Objectionable jokes
are sprung.
The bill is changed daily and all
the new song hits can be heard
at the Palace this week. By all
means see this company, as it is one
of the best seen in Ardmore this
season.

Sunday and Monday
June 18 and 19.

Following are some opinions of
noted people who have seen this won
derful photoplay:
Rabbi Simon, of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation-"lf | could
preach from my pulpit sermon one
tenth as powerful, as convincing, as
far-reaching, and as helpful as this
performance of Damaged Goods
must be, l would consider that |
had achieved the triumph of my life"
Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph
81 was deeply impressed by what l
saw, and l think that the drama
should be repeated in every city,
matinee one day for father and son
and the next day for mother and
daughter"
Rev. Earle Wifley-'I am confirmed
in the opinion that we must take. up
our cudgels in crusade against the
modern problems brought to the fore
by Damaged Goods The report that
these diseases are increasing is
enough to make us get busy on a
campaign against them"
Surgeon General Blue-"lt has a
most striking and telling lesson. For
years we have been fighting these
conditions in the navy. 1t is high
time that civilians awakened to the
dangers surrounding them and cru
saded against them in a proper man
ner."

portunity of witnessing this great
spectacle at the Theatorium Sunday

THE HOUSE.
KEEPERS PROBLEM
THE FACTS OF THE CASE

The tendency of the times Is for
young women to prefer work in
office or factory rather than doing
houSework. Yet the work in the Office
or factory is usually more nerve
racking because 1t is Il constant repe-
tition of work at high spced-a ten
sion which racks brain and body and
from which there Is no relaxation. On
the other hand the housekeeper, If she
be mother of large family, Is
weighted down with worries and cares
her housework is beyond her
strength; perhaps, if she studies her
work, puts her housework on Il busi-
ness basis and manages well, she can
easily take twenty minutes or half an
hour in the middle Of the day to COM
pletely relax.
When Il girl becomes q woman. when
q woman becomes Il mother, when wo-
men pass through the changes of mid
die life, are the three periods or
life when health and strength are most
needed to Withstand the pain and dis
tress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical times women are
hest fortified by the use of DIR. PtcrccS
Favorite Prescription, an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the entire
female system perfectly regulated and
in excellent condition.
Mothers if your daughters are weak,
lack ambition, are troubled with head
aches, lasSitudc, and are pale and
sickly. DIR. Picrce's Favoritc Prescrip-
rion is just what they need to surel "
bring the bloom of health TO their
cheeks and make them strong and
healthy.

of the matter. The fact is that just
ruts are, there is vein Of hard clay
coming out, which the water cannot
readily penetrate. Hence it comes out
under the roadbed, just as a slough
comes out on the side Of hill.
The remedy for this is tile drainage,
and the drain should not be located
in the seepy place, but above it, so as
to intercept the water that makes the
seep. Just on the same principle that
I'm draining a slough with many
branches and prongs the work is done
best by tiling around the prongs and
into the slough below at the lowest Of
them, instead of in the middle Of it.
For whenever water gets into slough,
the damage is done. The point is to
keep it from getting in.
A little attention to this, together
with dragging the road after every
rain, will give us fairly good roads
dirt roads without any hard surfacing
for nine or ten months in the year.
or course. when these seepy places
are drained, they must have a ditch
into which the water can run.
Permit us to repeat once more
statement we have been making ever
since we made our first address on
good roads, 80 years ago: that wa
ter uncontrolled is the cause of bad
roads; that there are two kinds of
water, so to speak; the under water
and the upper water. The under water
is that which comes in under the road
bed; and the upper-water what comes
on 1t from above or flows in from the
sides. The way to get rid of the first
IS through drainage; particularly in
these seepy places. The way to con-
troll the second is by grading and then
dragging, to put an enamel on the sur
face of the road.-Wallace's Farmer.

Have You Secured License?

All hotels, lodging and rooming
houses, drug stores, grocery stores
restaurants, soda fountains, confec-
tioneries, fruit stores, bakeries and
meat markets in Oklahoma are re-
Quired by law to obtain annual Ii
censes from the State Board of Health.
These licenses must be obtained by
July 1, 1916. The cost is 81 for all
licenses except for rooming houses
and hotels which are 81 and upwards.
All license fees must be sent to the
state board of health at Guthrie. The
penalty for noncompliance with the
law is a fine of not less than $25 nor
more than 500.

CAPPER DISCOVERS MUD TAy
Farmer Loses on Wheat Crop Because
Roads Are Soft and He Can
not Get to Market.

per of Kansas and deposes that he

There is an average mud tax of six
cents on every hushel of wheat grown
in Kansas" says the governor, "and
the farmer has to stand that loss. 1t
costs him about 5000 year because
the roads are soft and because he can
not get to market when the price is
highest" Motorists will be among
those who indorse the governors

Wourin. a former Kay county farmer,
