why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have q network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin>
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

Better Mothers.
Better babiesi is the cry,
With rosy cheeks and brightest eye
In every paper you read through
1t tells you exactly what to do
With youngsters under one year old.
The feeding, bathing-all is told,
It's most impossible to me
That sickly babies there should be.
Better mothers" is my cry
! So many do not read, that's why
They do not know of methods good.
OF daily bath and proper food.
The flies around the bottle fly
And when these little infants cry
The mothers shake them in dispair;
No rest, sweet milk or good fresh air.
And still there are other mothers also
Who have the knowledge and the
dough,
But strange maids watch their babies
grow,
And do these rich, wise mothers know
That with late hours and cards and
dress
They don't deserve child to bless.
1t is selfshness with them, you see;
Call "better mothers" please with me.

Death of Mrs. Mary Grier

After many months of suffering
battling the skill of doctors, Sunday
night Mrs. Mary Grier, aged So years,

Mrs. Grier was an extraordinary
woman. She was by nature woman
of strong mentality and was outspoken
in her condemnation of wrong, and an
earnest advocate of the right. She
was not slow to speak by name the
unworthy, and give her praise to the
worthy. She was most practical
and Industrious woman, whose devo-
ton to family and friends was wes'
known.
She leaves a husband. W. Z. Grier,
and one son, Eber. Of Selmer. and two
daughters, Mrs. W. r. Hair of Texas
and Mrs. Odus Perkins Of Selmer, be-
sides several brothers and sisters.
She was laid to rest in Oak Hill
cemetery. Short services were con.

Burglary at Guys

Constable D. L. Dixon, of Chewalla,
has again been successful in catching
burglars. About a month ago the
express Office at Guys was robbed
and 80 pints of red liquor carried
away. Again Wednesday night of
last week, it was broken into. Dixon
arrested Joe Caldwell and Walter
Jones, who acknowledged the first
burglary. They accused Frank Wat
son as the one who furnished the
horse and buggy they used. He de-
MES the occurrence. Watson was
arrested at Corinth and gave bond.
The others are in Jail. They all live
near Pea Ridge, Mr.. Dixon has
shown himself in number of cases,
a most successful officer, and holy
terror to evildoers.

Everybody from the railroad
employees to the bootblack seems
to have a mania for striking, for
a reason or for none, as the case
may be. Labor will have to learn
sometime that the tail never
wags the dog. Muscle has it's
place and its value, but brains
and money never were controlled
by passion, prejudice and ignor-
ance. There is not a striker in
the whole push that can earn as
much money at any other job.
If he could he would take it, and
would he doing right when he
did.

The submarine Deutschland has
made its round trip and landed
at its home port. 1t is a historic
achievement partaking more OF
the spectacular than the practi-
cal. The cargoes carried cannot
affect the needs of the Germans.
The few dye stuffs brought here
will go only a short way toward
lessening the wants of the textile
manufactures. 1t is claimed that
the Brennan, which has long been
expected, was caught in steel
net before it reached the ocean.
However that may be will de-
termine a second trip ever at

ton.

Guthrie. Okla. Aug. |


Now that we are having a little
rest from this blazing, burning West
ern sun, and can take little breath
ing spell in little cooler atmosphere.
| will give you my impressions of this
country, where came with a sick
one, some months ago, seeking bene-
fl from the change. This is the GEN.
trail part of the state, and Guthrie
was the capital till about 1903, when
it was moved to Oklahama City, thirty
miles from here, over the Sante Fe
R. R. 1t is also connected with that
city by an interurban line, just COM
pleted in July. at which time there
was quite celebration here, and
Guthrie did her very best to amuse
and entertain those who came. feed
ing over thousand at dinner, giving
free tickets to the swimming pool at
the municipal bath house, of which
several hundred took advantage, out
side movies, and free band concert.
Guthrie has to do things in this
manner, for she understands, what a
tremendous rival she has in Oklahoma
CITY, which has sprung up in this
n W country like a mushroom in the
night, and a nice, fine one at that; a
powerful one too, which does not
wilt, but keeps on growing, and *
banding in every direction. 1t is BY
far the largest town in the state. ]
have not been there, but am told
there are many fine buildings, and a
number of splendid churches, which
would do credit to many older cities
Guthrie is an unusually pretty
place, nicely laid off. with broad,
shady streets, and paved with brick
in the center Of the streets as well as
on the sidewalks. The parking or
grass plots along the sides, gives one
the impression that town has been
built in a park. There are several
mineral wells here situated in a
rather low place vhsre there is a
grove of very fine trees-w would not
be considered anything extra in Ten
nessee aud it is called Mineral
Wells Park" a cool, inviting spot in
this prairie country, where you only
see scrub oak to vary the monotony.
Guthrie claims twelve thousand
people.
The old capitol has been turned
into a school building. and is sore
spot to the eyes Of Guthrie's people,
reminding them of the loss of the
court house. II reminds one of past
days in McNairy, which. with all of
her trials in those days, Is eyer dear
to those who are far away. ! have
been told that in the early days here,
when the strip. about fifteen miles
from here, was opened. there were
trying times. as you had to keep a
gun by you day and night, as some
one was putting IN claim for your
piece of ground, and firearms was
the only defense you had.
never saw a prettier picture than
was presented to my view few
mornings since, one l. cannot forget.
| went to my eastern window to adj
lust the curtains, and happened to
glance at the sky: It was magnificent.
1t was just the hour before dawn.
Such tints Of pale blue. such touches
of delicate pink amid the soft waving
gray of the heavens, and peeping out
amidst this was large star seeming
" composed of most glittering
diamonds. blazing with cheering
brightness over the still darkened
world, an emblem of hope. and Of the
day dawn.
