MALARIA
CAN NOT EXIST
Where This Wonderful Remedy Il
Used Freely.

No company in existence can boast
of probably as many good letters OF
thanks coming from all directions and
from all classes of humanity as can
the Hays Medicine Company, OF Pa
ducah. Ky., manufacturers Of the
great system tonic "Hays' Specific"
This wonderful preparation is daily
doing wonders in the homes OF suffer-
ing humanity.
Among the hundreds of enthusiast
tic boosters of this truly wonder tonic,
and system cleanser, is Mr.. John l.:
Cope, of Hardin, Ky. Speaking OF
Hays Specific, Mr.. Cope says:
81 suffered with chills and malaria
for three or four months and tried
nearly every remedy knew for this
trouble without getting any relief. !
went to the drug store at Hardin and
was told that Hays Specific had cur
ed some stubborn cases of chills. About
eleven o'clock on the morning !
bought Hays Specific, had a hard
chill. l began taking the medicine
that night and have not had any symp-
toms Of chills or malaria since
It took only one bottle to entirely
cure me and l can truly recommend
Hays Specific to any one suffering
with chills and malaria"

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Hlgher cable
quotations apparently rejecting
European uneasiness in regard to
supplies, tended today to lift wheat
prices here, and so, too, did reports
of continued drouth in Argentina. In
dications were-also said to point to
further lowering of stocks in Great
Britain and to liberal decrease OF
the amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage, despite active export buying
over night. Kansas City advices,
telling of an urgent demand from
miliers. counted further against the
bears. Opening prices, which ranged
from 7-S@1c higher with December
at s1.54@1.54 IL and May at $1.54@
1855 were followed by slight addi-
tionad upturn in some cases.
Corn derived strength from wheat
Commission houses were the Chief
buyers. After opening 1-S@ LIZ

INDIANS SPENDING
Millions FOR AUTOS
Estimated Oklahoma 1ribcsmen vii
Purchase $4,5OO,O0O Worth
Of Cars.
Copyright,

Chickasha, OKLA, Sept. 23.-It is
estimated $4,500,O0O will be spent for
motor cars in the old Indian territory
part of Oklahoma this year. This
represents half the sum that will be
paid to the members of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw tribes Of Indians by
the federal government. The checks
already are beginning to arrive and
the motor car dealers are stocking
up, expecting the biggest run in cars
they ever experienced.
The Indian takes to automobiles
like he used to take to spotted ponies.
But the day of the spotted poney is
past. Only the old-fashioned Indian
rides a pony today.
The $9,OO0,OO0 which is being paid
to the members of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw tribes represents a wind
fall they hardly expected to get. 1t
represents an accumulation OF inter-
est which has been piling up in the
United States treasury for the last
ten years. Through the efforts of the
Oklahoma members of the senate and
lower house this money will be paid
to the members of the two tribes at
the rate of $500 for each Choctaw and
5000 for each Chickasaw.
This money is paid to each member
of the tribe or his parents or guardi-
an. Each child on the roll of the
tribes will be paid this money with
out regard to age. In cases where
none of the children are of age, the
father will be paid the money. The
Indians are notorious for large faml-
lies, so parents who will receive from
$4,000 to $4,000 are not uncommon.
Most of the automobiles have beer
bought ON the part payment plan
Each Indian has received enough
money to make the initial payment
on any of the 1ow-priced cars. He
has paid this and contracted to pay
the remainder by the month. Ever!
member of the tribes, if he has no. no.
disposed of it., owns from $50 to 64(
acres of land. Crops were good las
year, so dealers have not hesitated te
trust the buyers of the cars.

PROC CHIEFTAIN
OUT FOR WILSON
Old Line Republicans Also Join
League to Promote Reelection
of the President.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The steady
drift of progressives, Independents and
many old-Iine republicans to the sup
port of President Wilson is being in
dictated daily by increasing and STEADY
enrollments of voters in the various
state leagues of the Woodrow Wilson
Independent league, that organization
reports.
c. J. France of Seattle, long promi-
nent in the affairs of the coast state
who presided a few weeks ago over the
progressive state convention ID
Seattle, has enrolled as a member.
Mr.. France announced that he was
unwilling to retreat from the progress
sive position he assumed In 1912, and
would, therefore, support Mr.. Wilson
as against the republican candidate,
Mr.. Hughes.
William III. German, also of Wash
ington state, a lifelong republican,
whose father at one time was chair
man of the republican national COM
mittee, has declared for Mr.. Wilson
and become a member of the league.
He says that Mr.. Wilson's Mexican
policy, the development of Alaska, the
ship purchase bill and child labor leg
islation are winning friends for the
president from the republican and bull
moose ranks.
The recent enrolment of DR.. Edwin
]. Brown in Seattle takes from the so
cialist party its state leader. DR..
Brown espoused the cause of the pres.-
