The fact that young Orpet might
have obtained the greenhouse cyan
ide had its parallel in the laboratory
of the Deerfeld high school attended
by Marion The instrument of MUIR
der and the instrument of suicide
were equally available. The labora-
tory substance was 81 per cent pure
cyanide of potassium Marion, on
the day before her death, was in the
laboratory out of hours, in violation
of n school rule.
The parallel of knowledge of cyan
ide did not run so straight Orpet, ac-
cording to his testimony, had not
looked at a chemistry textbook for
two years, while Marion's next lesson
which she was preparing included the
subject of cyanide of potassium. Or
pet. however, knew of its use in the
greenhouse as fumigator, and had
read an article on its use in horticul-
ture.

the latter, concoct the molasses and

HOW To REDUCE
YOUR WEIGHT
A SIMPLE, SAFE, RELIABLE WAY

People who are over-burdened with
superhuous fat, know only too well
the discomfort and ridicule that over
stout people have to bear.
If you are carrying around five or
ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital
organs and are carrying a burden
which destroys the beauty of your
figure.
There is no need of anyone suffer
ing from superhuous fat. If you
want to reduce your weight in a
simple, safe and reliable way, with
out starvation diet or tiresome eX-
ercise, here is test worth trying.
Spend as much time as you can in
the open air, breathe deeply and get
from the City Drug Store or any
good druggist box of oil of korein
capsules; take one after each meal
and one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself once a week so as
to know just how fast you are losing
weight, and don't leave off the treat
ment or even skip single dose until
you are down to normal.
Oil of korein is absolutely harm
less, is pleasant to take, and helps
digestion. Even a few days treat
ment has been reported to show a
noticeable reduction in weight, foot
steps become lighter, your work
seems easier and lighter and more
buoyant feeling takes possession of
your whole being.
Every person who suffers from
superhuous fat should give this treat
ment a trial.

DAY ADJOURNMENTS TO PER-

Washington, July 13.-Almost
through with its share of the ses-
sion's legislative program, the house
next week probably will begin a
series of three day adjournments to
permit members to go home for cam
paign work while the senate is wrest-
ling with a congestion of business
that will delay final adjournment un-
til about September 1. All of the
annual appropriation bills except the
general deficiency measure which
will come during the closing days
have passed the house.
Friday the leaders plan to pass the
Rucker corrupt practices act, consid-
GRAFTON of which will begin Thursday
and Saturday the senate resolution
creating a joint committee to inves-
tigate the railroad situation will be
taken up under a special rule. That
virtually will clear the house slate
of important business to be put
through before the session ends.
Both majority and minority lead
ers will seek to avoid roll calls on
measures sent back from the senate
with amendments. There may be
fights over charges in the army and
navy appropriation bills and the gov
ernment shipping measure but if pos
sible the leaders will avoid sending

FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With a veil; Re
move Them With the Othine
Prescription.

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually so sue
cessful in removing freckles and CIV
ing a clear, beautiful complexion that
it is sold by any druggist under guar
antee to refund the money If it falls.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.

SPAT OF WORDS BETWEEN
CONGRESSMAN AND SELLS

Washington, July i2 Indian Com.
missioner Cato Sells has left for a
| tour of western Indian reservations
and will go as far west as the Pa
cific coast. A member of the Okla
homa congressional delegation was
| unfeeling enough today to state that
he hoped the commissioner kept
! right on going when he reached the
Pacific
The night before Mr.. Sells left for
the west he was told a few unpleas.
ant truths as to his manner of con
Quoting the Indian office. Mr.. Sells
informant was Congressman jim Da-
venport of the first Oklahoma district,
who of late has been unable to re
ceive reply to letters addressed to
the head of the Indian bureau. Mr..
davenport, without beating about the
bush, plainly told Commissioner Sells
that because of the commissioners
egotism getting the better of his
judgment that Indian affairs were
more inefficiently managed under the
present administration than ever be-
fore in the history of the bureau.
This conversation occurred about 8
o'clock at night, Commissioner Sells
having called up Congressman Daven-
port in response to letter to Com
missioner Sells and President Wilson
relative to the reappointment of Greek
National Attorney Judge r. C. Allen
of Muskogee, whose appointment is
being opposed by the first district
congressman. Mr.. Davenport had not
minced words in his letter to the
president and frankly stated that if
the present policy of the Indian office
was pursued it would drive every
Indian in Oklahoma into the republi-
can party. Mr.. Sells asked that Mr..
Davenport come to his office in the
morning to file his objections to the
Allen reappointment but the congress-
man replied he had already filed his
objections and would expose the
methods of the Indian office on the
floor of the house.
Sells hit the ceiling and one word
led to another until Mr.. Davenport
offered to meet the commissioner
face to face and discuss the PROPOSE
ton.
The commissioner intimated that he
was running the Indian office to suit
himself and Mr.. Davenport retorted
by saying that might be true, as no
one would admit it was being run in
the interest of the Indians Of the
country.
Mr.. Sells finally came down off his
high horse and before the phone con-
versation was over was purrlng like
kitten and promising to try to turn
over a new leaf in regard to the ad-
ministration of Indian affairs. The
next day he left for the west, and,
as a result, things are running much
more smoothly at the Indian Office,
and business is more speedily being
disposed of.

Perhaps you have been urging him
to remain at home. Don't do it. Be
as agreeable as you can, make yourself
look as attractive as possible, but do
not act as if his presence is needed to
make you happy. Have friends come
in evenings and read or amuse your

your house a restful place. Do not let

very often during this time. / nave
never seen him with another girl and
do not believe he goes with other girls
| am known to everyone we know as
his girl friend.
The only fault I can find with this
Young man is that he is tickle. The
reason | know he is tickle is because
the instant l introduce him to my dlf-
ferent girl friends he generally takes
a great fancy to them. He generally
gives me his undivided attention. but
while these fancies last he pays hard
" any attention to me. His attention
to these other girls takes place right
in my presence. However, these fan
cies do not last and he comes back to
me as ardent as ever. Long intervals
often intervene during which time l
do not see him after he takes these
fancies-
l like the boy very much, in fact
better than anyone else l have ever
known. When he acts like this it
makes me feel very badly and l lose
interest in everything. Do you think
his youth is to blame and he will over
come this fault? Would you advise me
TO keep or break this friendship?
MELANCHOLY.
You ought to be glad instead of
jealous that the boy likes your girl
friends Since you and he have been
friends for two years you can hardly
call him tickle Don't let jealousy spoil
this friendship that means so much to
you If he begins to think that you
object to his taking an interest in
other girls and feel that you have a
claim on him, he may drop you.
