PAVE MAIN STREET

There never was a time when
the terrible condition of our
streets has drawn forth more
strong comment than the past
twenty four hours. Many are
abusing the contractors who tore
up the streets, and want to make
them fix them up so that peoLle
and especially ladies, can cross
the streets, at any corner, without
being mirred up. Others feel
that the town is not very enar-
getic in coming to the relief of
the citizens, seeing that at some
corners the road is almost impass-
able, and there is no doubt but
what the merchants will suffer if
this condition continues.
The real solution is that now
that the streets have been torn
up there is no little mending that
will do much good, and the talk

means just so much money thrown

very beneficial where heavy loads

thoroughfare.

HEARING ON ADAMSoN LAW

| committee Of Congress to inves-
}tigate transportation in interstate
| commerce the cross discrimination
Of Alfred P. Thorn, appearing for
great railroads Of the United
States, it developed that Senator
Newlands and Representative
Adamson hold opposing views on
the proposition to compel FEEDER
al incorporation Of the railroads.
Mr.. Newlands, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce, and the joint commit
tee before which the hearing is
being held, agrees with Mr.. Thorn
that the railroads should be in
corporated under the Federal gov
eminent. To unity and simplify
the railroad administration Of the
country, according to matter he
put in the record today, he would
Hrequire that all railroads engag-
ing in interstate commerce shall
incorporate under a national law
in accordance with certain con
ditions not only permitting but
favoring the consolidation of rail
roads,
Mr.. Thorn declared that had
House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, and vice
chairman Of the Newlands com
mittee, opposes Federal incorpora-
ton.
"The proposition of the roads"
said Representative Adamson, is
that the power ought to be cen
tralized, and they should not be
allowed to go into 48 states to do
their business. They would make
it so that j. P. Morgan could take
the mortgages in Alabama and
illinois and would have to study
usury or interest, or dishonesty
IN financial transactions subject
to but one jurisdiction.
"This government of ours is
dual. There were states that made
the constitution. So far as the
financing Of the railroads is con-
cerned. [ do not know of any
body who ever asked these CAPT
talists to buy up all the little
roads that the people in the diff
ferent states built and consoli-
date them into one, two, three or
a dozen systems.
Mr.. Thorn was asked to state
how the big systems control the
the various roads under their man.
He answered that Il
was done by actual physical ow-
nership, the acquisition Of stock
or by lease. Most Of the pur-
chases were made under original
charters, which have provisions
for making transfers. The ideal
way, he added, is to own all the
property. The PENNSYLVANIA
road, he explained, has more than
100 corporations. He could not
say how many his road, the Sou
thern Railway, has.
Senator Newlands asked Mr.
Ihom why the larger roads ac-
CURED the smaller ones, and con-
them.
1T was done in answer to the
demands Of commerce. said the
witness "The roads were thrown
together to accommodate traffic. II

viii Ask for Mail Service.

New Wilson, Okla, Oct. 21.-The
secretary of Wilson's new CONNER
cial club has, upon instructions of the
directory, begun a movement, backed
by the entire local public, looking to
having the o., n. VI. & p. railroad
carry mail between Ardmore and the
western terminus. This service is
badly needed, and the local secretary
has written letters to the Ardmore
and Ringing commercial club sec
retaries asking cooperation in the eff
fort. A general meeting of those in
terested in the new mail service will
be called at Wilson and representa-
tives from Ardmore, Lone Grove and
Ringing invited to participate.
1t so happened that an hour after
this movement had been set on foot
formally, President John Ringing and
Vice President and General Manager
Jake Hamon arrived here in a special
car over this road. Both gentlemen
expressed a willingness to assist in
an effort to secure the mail service
desired, and said they had so eX-
pressed themselves to Ardmore citi-
zens.

Feterita is a Very Valuable Crop.

The value of feterita to this coun-
try cannot be estimated Feterita is
from Is to 20 days earlier than kafir
corn. 1t makes tonnage for ensilage
from twenty to twenty-five per cent
greater than kafir. This is a state
ment made by Robert F. Scivally who
has large acreages Of both crops on
his ranch place at Springer, and he
now is putting into silos his second
cutting this year. The last cutting
ended on the 2Sth day of August.
Rains came about that time and then
no more rain came until in October.
But the hardy feterita held on and
the second crop will make a tonnage
equal to seventy.five per cent OF the
first crop. Mr.. Scivally has 100 acres
ready now TO be cut and to be made
into ensilage.

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness AWAY.
This excellent, common-senss
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yarGs of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limtstone phosphate in II, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire a1mentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so not water and
limestone phosphate act on the elimi-
native organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue nasty taste or have a
dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store.
This will cost very little but is sur
ficient to demonstrate the value of
inside bathing. Those who continue
it each morning are assured of pro-
nounced results, both in regard to
health and appearance.
