Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
6ltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kinney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is Dr. kilmer's prescription used in pri-
waite practice and it is sure to benefit you

GERMANY WILL NOT
ATTEMPT BLOCKADE
DECLARES COMMERCIAL WAR
OFF AMERICAN COAST IN &C
CORDANcE WITH RULES.
Holds That German Sea Forces
Are Entitled to Garry on Cruiser
Warfare and Will Not Infringe
Upon American Rights.

Berlin.-In answer to the report sent
out by the British wireless that the
German submarine U-53 "torpedoed in
some cases and sank" ships, compe-
tent German authority, says the Over
seas News agency, makes the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE commercial war near the coast
of the United States is being carried
on according to rules and the Ger
man promise, which means that mer-
chairman can be stopped and that,
after the vessel has been searched
and the crew and passengers are in
safety, the vessel can be sunk, under
certain conditions.
These conditions are, for instance.
when a hostile steamer or neutral
steamer carrying contraband Of war is
involved, or when the military situa'
ton makes it impossible to bring
steamer which has been captured into
port as prize.
"In no case, however, can this be
construed to mean that a merchant
man may be sunk by a torpedo with
out previous warning.
According to further reports from
Washington, the American authorities
are said to be afraid that very compli-
Gated questions of neutrality may
arise if the German submarines oper
ate so near the American coast and
that such submarine action is equiVa
lent IN a blockade"
To this it is stated that the German
sea forces are entitled to carry on
cruiser warfare anywhere in the open
sea. Territorial waters Of neutral
states are carefully respected. A
blockade, of course, is out Of the
question.

A WONDERFUL OIL PROPERTY
Young Man, Still Minor, Receives
5000 a Day.

What oil men consider the greatest
oil lease in the United States outside
of California is in the Healdton field
and is known as the Richards lease
and comprises the lands of E. T. Rich
ards and his son, Clifton Richards. The
land is situated in section 6-4-3 and in
1888. At one time the Clifton Rich
ards lease which runs up to the north
line of 81 did not look very favora-
BILE, but yesterdays reports show that
the farthest well to the northeast on
this lease is making 1000 barrels, and
the entire lease is in the field and
in prolific portion of it. The f. T,
Richards lease has 230 acres and the
fee was sold some weeks ago to the
Cosden Oil and Gas Company for a
sum said to be $65O,O0O. Mr.. Rich
ards has received different sums from
this land that amount to approximate
ly one million dollars. He was work
ing in coal mine when a friend went
to him and asked him to take his al
lotment at Healdton and almost
begged him to do so. At that time
no one suspected its oil wealth. Cliff
ton Richards is young man who will
reach his majority next September.
He lives with his parents in McAlester
and does not give any attention TO
his oil holdings. He owns the fee to
29O acres, his land now has a pro-
duction of 5000 barrels, and he is re-
ceiying 5000 a day as his royalty. This
sum will not be paid for a few days
or a few weeks, but the production will
hold up for many months and if he
keeps his property, he will be draw
ing dividends for twenty years or
more. The Richards leases have solid
sands, 300 feet thick and no similar
acreage at Electra, at Gushing, or at
Glenn Poll vii ever give up as much
oi as the Richards property will pro-
duce. When Clifton Richards reaches
his mapority he will have a fortune
of one million dollars, and naturally
that is more money than he ever
dreamed he would own.

Scivally Lease Looks Good.

The Gates people have drilled in q
well in section 10-43 offsetting the
Sciyally Petroleum Company on the
north, and the Scivally people have
begun drilling an offset to that well.
The Gates well made 125 barrels and
there is every reason to believe that
the Scivally well will be equally as
good or better as the sands seem to
get better toward the south. The Gates
people moved one location east and
started another well on the Scivally
line, and the Scivally people are also
offsetting it. These wells are Nos. 8
and in 15-43 on the 50-acre lease in
the northwest quarter of the section.
A large number of Ardmore people
hold stock in the company and it looks
now like they will make some money
on their investment. This company
first organized as the klondike Oil
Company and made a bad investment
in the north part of 1888. After they
drilled a failure, they had little
money left, and the officers of the

CHES DAVIS AT PALACE
BALANCE OF THE WEEK

1t is gratifying to the management
of the Palace theatre to know that
when a show is booked at that house
that it meets the approval of its pa
irons, arI after numerous requests
they have decided to keep Ches Davis
and his Funbeams for the remainder
of the week. Judging by the crowd
and the applause at last nights show,
this company is increasing in pOpu-
larity. TOnight's bill will be an en-
tirely new one-"Cabaret," and the
company promises something very
good in the way of entertainment. An
other big crowd will no doubt turn
out to see them. The writer has seen
several so-called tab" (meaning tab
loid) shows, but never have we seen
a cleaner one nor one that seemed to
make a hit with the large majority of
the audiences as this one has. There
are no racy jokes or "smutty" songs,
but the kind of entertainment your
wife, mother or sister can attend and
have the assurance that their feelings
will never be shocked in any way.
We hope Ardmore will see more of
this class of musical tabloid shows.

only to save the people their invest
ment, but make them a small profit.
Casing Head Gasoline.

An old-time oil man in speaking of
the Oklahoma fields said that with
in year from now Oklahoma would
be producing as much as 10000 barrels
a day of casing head gasoline. This
is the kind that caused the explosion
in Ardmore. Casing head gasoline
plants are so much in demand that
they cannot be purchased for delivery
under eight months. Crosbie & Gil
lespie who own ap liant of this kind
in Glenn Pool which cost $4,000, have
been offered three times their invest
ment and declined to accept it. Heald-
ton gas has been tested for casing
head gas and is said not to be rich
enough at this time for its manufac
ture. 1t seems that a field must have
produced several years before gaso-
line can be made from the gas. Glen
Pool which is the oldest field in the
state is the richest in casing head gas.
The McMan Oil Company which is
known in Texas as the Red River Oil
Company is building plant for the
manufacture of gasoline in the Elec-
ira field The Healdton gas will be
tested from time to time and as soon
as it will pay to operate plants of
this kind here, they will be built.
These plants have proven to be very
good investments.
