DESIRE TO BENEFIT
OTHERS CAUSES HER
TO MAKE STATEMENT
Mrs. Morgan Had Suffered
For 6 Years; Says Orga-
tone Relieved Her.

Mrs, Richard Morgan, residing al
702 South Lawton, is still another
Tulsa woman Of high standing whose
deep sense of gratitude and desire to
benefit other suffering will not per-
init her to remain silent in regard to
the remarkable benefits she has de-
rived from Orgatone. Mrs. Morgan
is the wife of Richard Morgan. who
has been q resident Of Tulsa for more
than 25 years and is well-known here
II suffered from stomach trouble
and indigestion more or less ever since
I could remember" said Mrs. Morgan
in her statement to the health expert
few days ago. What 1 ate" she
continued, lust lay in my stomach
and felt like hard ball, and nothing
could do would remove It. For
hours after eating / would be nause-
ated end ] would rather have had a
bad tooth ache than the misery caused
by the gas on my stomach. The pain
seemed to be right where the stomach
and intestines join. / really think II
was intestinal Indigestion; anyway,
the suffering was very severe. l was
thin and had no appetite. I had no
taste for food and the little / did eat
gave me no strength and I was so
nervous 7 could hardly sleep at all
mo other medicine ever seemed to
reach my case, but it's the sctual
truth-the first two doses Of Orgatone
took removed that lump from my
stomach and I have not been trou-
bled with 1t since. After l had taken
Orgatone for awhile my husband re-
marked that I looked so much bet
ter, and II feeling better can make
anyone look better certainly must,
because I'm entirely relieved of all
the nausea and pain and have n splen-
did appetite and feel good all the
time. Orgatone has certainly done
fine work for me and 1 think It's the
best medicine made for people suf-
feriDg as I did"
Such statements as the regoing
u ould appeal to the thousands that
suffer from tho same troubles. Mrs.
Morgan's troubles were relieved by
Orgatone simply because 1t toned up
her vital organs ami enabled her to
digest her food properly. In fact,
there is not "A single portion OF tho
body that is not benefited by the help
ful action OF Orgatone. which begins
its work by stimulating tho digestive
and assimilative organs. thereby en-
riching the blood and invlgorating the
whole system. Next, 1t enables the
weak, wornout stomach to thoroughly
digest its food. permitting the essimi-
lation Of the nourishlng products to
be converted into blood. bone and
muscle.

The curtain that covered the door

they were sitting moved ever so
slightly. Neither Of them nctived It.

He was about to drop the treasure
back into his pocket when a hand
shot ont thru the curtains behind
him. with Q lightning. swiftness the
hand snatched the necklace from
him and darted back thru the curtain
folds.
But, out of the corner OF his eye.
Stanley had noted the darting mo-
ticn. Instinctively, with his free
hand, he snatched at the vanishing
gems. His strong fingers closed
about the thiefs wrist.
With wrench, he sought to dras
the intruder thru the enveloping cur
tain folds and into the library~ The
other resisted with desperate force;
but, under Harold's grasp tie thief's
fingers opened, and the necklace fell

CHARACTER IN WOMEN'S HAIP
Golden and Red-Headed Ones Can Both Love and Hate Ardently,
 Says Writer.

Have you a head of midbrown tresses? J
 The. majority of British girls are of our temperament, and shows g happy blending of our traits, writer in London Answers observes:
 The head generally rules the heart among women of this coloring, who are blessed with a good supply of ''el- bow. grease" and common sense.
 For vim and vivacity look to the curly-headed girl; her ripping locks are eloquent of vitality and energy more than any other kind of hair. This girl belongs to the push and go" vari- ety, and is not easily baked in her determination, and would never lose an opportunity of promotion through shyness or fear.
 Next to her in energy comes the straight-haired, dark woman. She has not the vivacity of the woman with curls, but she has intensity, passion, and determination beyond other wom- en, and is able to influence others.
 Impulsive, warm-hearted, yet trifie capricious is the woman possessing golden or red hair. She can both love and hate very ardently, but is not al ways sincere in either
 Very fair-haired damsels are apt to be rather colorless by nature as well as by coloring, but they make excel lent business women, and are usually cool and collected in an emergency.
 Refinement and gentleness is always indicated by fine hair; coarse, heavy hair generally denotes strong con stitution and an obstinate disposition.
