FIRE PREVENTION.
How Our Enormous Annual Losses
Might Be Reduced.

How Our Enormous Annual Losses
Might Be Reduced.
The average annual loss by fire In
America Is over half as much as the
cost of building the Panama canal.
This is an actual loss. Insurance, Of
course, restores nothing destroyed, but
merely passes the hat for the benefit Of
the individual losers. The loss to the
community is total.
But little thought has been given to
the communal aspects of the economic
system Of fire insurance, writes Dr.
Maynard Nj. Metcaf in the Scientific
Monthly 1t has been viewed chiefly
from the standpoint of the individual
Insurance companies repay to indfvid
uals their actual losses, and 1t Is Sim
pier for the individual to gain security
against loss by fire by hiring an insur-
ance company to carry his risks than 1t
Is for him to prevent loss from fire by
building fireproof buildings.
Suppose we should appropriate a
quarter of a billion dollars, the amount
Of single years fire loss, to the or
ganization and support of n bureau OF
fire prevention, calling to the work OF
this bureau the three best chemists, the
three strongest physicists and the three
kcenest engineers in the world. How
long would it be before they had found
very inexpensive methods of protecting
all buildings against fire, however in
fammable their construction? The
problem is childishly simple beside
those which men of science are attack
Ing daily and with success.
How absurd it is that we have fires
today! They should long ago have be-
come thing of the past.

Character in Reading.

The Youths Companion does more
than entertain; t affords the reader a
mental and moral tonic. Its stories
are not only well told, contributed by
the best writers of stories, but they
maintain the standards, reflect the
ideals of the best homes. They do
not throw false glamour over the
tawdry things Of life. Rather do
they depict the courageous, The
healthful, the slmple-the true life
Of the greater number with their ad-
ventures, their conflicts Of temper
ament, their failures and successes.
In 1917 The Companion will print II

NURSE RELIEVES
MUCH SUFFERING
The Patient She Helped Makes
Interesting Statement.

Madison, Wis.-Mrs. Oscar Day, of
1906 Eonona Ave-, Fair Oaks, this
town, says: Before my baby was
born, I suffered terribly with womanly
troubles and nervousness, and was
living in q state Of fear all the time.
One day, an old friend of m'ne,
who, by the way, is q nurse, and goes
around to all cases, brought me bot
tie Of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and
told me to keep on taking It right
along. I did, and felt much better
after the first bottle. I kept on tax
ing It, and had as little trouble a.
anybody could wish for. Feeling very
good now.
There never was a better medicine
for women than Cardui, and I will
recommend 1t to any one who is in
need Of 1t. This nurse uses Cardui
with her patients, so it Is we'll known
all around here.
am never without q bottle Of
Cardui In my home"
We urge yoS to try Card-u-i, the
woman's tonic, for yo1y troubles. II
will help you over the hard places,
just as It has thousands Of Other
women.
Don't delay. Begin taking Cardui
today. You won't regret It Ncns

RETAILERS MET MONDAY

The Liberal Retailers Association
met Monday evening. This was the
regular meeting of the organization
but owing to the fact that this is a
very busy season there was not a
large attendance.
The annual Retailers convention
meets at Lawrence July 10 and 20,
and as this date conflicts with the
dates of the Booster trip, Liberal
will probably not have many dele
gates.
The parking ordinance was dis
cussed at the meeting and its i'm
portance in connection with the re-
tail trade commented upon. Every
retailer member should endeavor to
be present at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting tonight to help fix up
an ordinance that will not interfere
with their business.

INDIAN LAND DEAL IS Cancelled
Decision Holds Woman's Property
Worth More Than She Received.

Ardmore.-Judge Freeman Of the
district court, handing down his de-
cision in the Louisa Wesley case, holds
that the title to the property is not
valid. It was alleged in this case that
w. H. Thompson purchased from
Louisa Wesley, full blood Indian, 1870
acres Of land in the Healdton field.
He paid $500 in cash and agreed to
pay 500 a month for ten years.
]. B. Moore of this city and George
F. Short of Idabel brought suit to
cancel the deed, alleging insufficient
consideration. The court held that
the property was worth $4,000 when
it was sold and made an order setting
the deed aside. In all probability this
property will yield at least $250,000.
When proceedings were brought to
cancel the deed the court appointed
Thomas Norman to take charge OF
money received from the sale Of roy
atty Oil. He was appointed on Novem-
Der 8, last year, and he now has about
f21, 900 in cash which belongs to the
owner of THE land.
The government has been interested
in the suit, and D. H. Limbaugh,
United States district attorney, has q
suit pending in the federal court at
Muskogee for the cancellation Of the
same deed.

wealth.

Oklahoma City-In response to q
general demand for relief from annual
floods ana consequent damages, the
Oklahoma county Commissioners are
working on q plan to straighten the
channel of the North Canadian river
from Oklahoma City to Harrah. The
length of the channel Is ITO miles. The
distance when Strengthened, 1t Is
planned, will be only Is miles from
Oklahoma City to point near Harrah.
The project would cost, 1t is estimated,
from $500, 900 to 100000.
The tentative plans call for the
Strengthening Of the channel from a
point west of southwest Of Oklahoma
City to another point west and south
west Of the city. From the latter
point it would take almost a direct
eastern course to point near Harrah.
The new channel would practically
follow the course Of the Rock Island
line east, either on the north or south
side, and the plan might call for the
channel to run part or the way on
the north side of the tracks and part
on the south side.
II the tentative plans are carried
out, the river channel would be al.
mist straight from point several
miles west Of Oklahoma City to a
point perhaps twenty miles east, and
the fall would be greater, thus fur.
nishing all the power that would be
needed in Oklahoma City to run all
machinery for many years to come.
The principal cause for agitation in
favor of the project is to eliminate the
annual floods and damage that always
follow in the bottoms.
Damage annually from North Cana
dian floods run into the thousands,
and there is no prospect of relief un.
less the river channel is changed so
the immense volume Of water can be
carried away faster 1t now takes
from three to four days for water to
run from Oklahoma City TO Harrah
II the new channel is cut, the water
would run to Harrah in few hours
To carry out such a project, 1t would
be necessary first to organize a drain
age ditch district, including all terri
tory affected. The owners of land ad
joining the stream would have to pay
for carrying out the proposition
Bonds would be issued.

AN INSANE WORLD

Judging from the number and
variety of letters am receiving and
the number Of freak articles now ap-
pearing in the public press am i'm
pressed with the notion that the hui
man nut crop is larger this year than
ever before in history.
The world seems to be full of
prophets and prophecies. I have at
least dozen A No. 1 prophets on my
own string. That is I suppose they
are A 1, because they seem to pro-
phecy without hesitancy and with a
free muscular movement. There are
no ifs and ands about their prophe-
sizes. They assert just what is going
to take place with the utmost con-
fidence. There are also lot of crazy
people, some Of them in high places
and leaders of public thought, who
are raving around the country in
sisting that we must get into war
with somebody in order to save our
prestige.
l notice also that several perpetual
motion cranks are appearing in diff
ferent parts of the country. That is
a sure sign of general insanity. There
are so many wild theories being pro-
mulgated and argued with great
force and sometimes with plausibili'
ty, that one begins to doubt his OWL
sanity. Maybe most of us are more
or less insane.

After conversation with several in

ABOUT BARB WIRE CUTS

All barb wire cuts deserve immedi-
ate attention and should be carefully
cared for until healed, according to
R. r. Dykstra, professor Of veterin-
airy surgery in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural College.
1.-THE first thing to do after an an
imal is cut by a barb wire is to con-
troll the bleeding" says Professor
Dykstra. IF the cut is on a limb a
bandage should be tightly applied
between the wound and the heart 80
as to check the outflow of the blood.
If the wound is only slight layer of
cotton should be applied and held
firmly against 1t by bandage.
AFTER the bleeding has been
checked the next thing to do is to
carefully cleanse the wound with
some antiseptic such as per cent
solution of carbolic acid and water
II there are any loose shreds of tbs.
sue or skin they should be cut of
with scissors"
II the wound is small and super
fetal it should be busted with vet
Urinary busting powder and layer
of cotton applied and held firmly
against the wound with a bandage
points out Prof. Dykstra. This treat.
ment should be repeated at least
once day until the wound is healed
enough so that 1t can be left exposed
to the air without danger Of being
contaminated or easily broken open
If it is a larger or deeper wound
in addition to the foregoing treat
ments, the edges of the wound should
be drawn together by stitching. In
stitching, the lower part Of the
wound should be left open so that thu
wound secretions and pus will find 6
ready exit.
II the wound is a deep one or II
the vicinity of a Joint 1t is serious
and a reliable graduate veterinarian
should Immediately be consulted, in
the opinion of Prof. Dykstra.
