MISSION CLOSE 6
Services at Episcopal Church During
Past Week Successful.

The preaching mission at the Epis-
ccpal church came to a close on Sun
DAY night, and the Rev, Mr.. Datson
returned to his home at Wichita
Falls, .Te-., on Tuesday afternoon.
The week was a most profitable one
to the communicates of the local
church, and all of the services were
we'll attended, not only by the Episco-
palians, but by the community at
large Rev +. T. Datson Is the rec
tor of the Church of the Good Shep-
herd at Wichita Falls, Tex, and is
6 preacher of exceptional merit. In
fact, it is conceded by those who
leard him here that no more force
full speaker has visited Ardmore in
long time than Mr.. Dat5on.
The mission was conducted along
cutie different lines than are usually
adopted Il this branch of the church.
instead lf adhering to the ritual in
customary use, Mr.. Datson opened his
services with song service, followed
with scriptural reading and brief
PRAYERS, then the sermon. He is
himself singer of unusual ability
and soon got his congregations in
sympathy with that feature OF the
orship, and before the week closed
there hal been a very noticeable i'm
provement in the congregational sing
iIg.
Only Ills last two sermons, on
Sunday morning and night, were doc
tr.nal The others We're eyangelis'
tic in style, and were delivered with
force and enthusiasm of utterance
that readily captivated his congrega'
tons and aroused a spirit Of revival
Of faith that was wonderfully helpful
to those who heard him. An effort
will be made to induce Mr. Datson to
return newt fall for another week or
ten days mission, and should he
come there is no doubt his meetings
will be m0,e largely attended than has
teen the case during this visit.

ACID IN STOMACH
S0URS THEFOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochoric Acid
Is Cause of Indigestion.

A well EhoWn authority states that
stomach trouble and Indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retardS
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton. then our meals sour like gar
bage in a can, forming acrid fluids
and gases which initiate the stomach
like a toy balloon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest,
we eructate sour food, belch gas, or
have heartburn, fatulence, water
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digest
i've aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast while it is
effervescing, and furthermore, to con
tinue this for one week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, it is I'M
portant to neutralize the acidity, re-
move the gas-making mass, start the
liver. stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and Is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re
suits.

sdcleG impossible in the question OF
oil That is because the shallo"
wells were dry. Sands that are founu
between 5000 and 1900 feet deep in
these counties, are promising great
productions.
In Hands Of Large Companies.
Tie production of petroleum prob
ally is, in the main, in the hands OF
the large companies, many of them
having more or less direct aftiliation
with the Standard Oil company, but
the exploration and initial work in
oil fields is generally done by men
who have neither much money nor in
fiuence. 1t is the fascination ol the
gamble that results in exploration for
oil.
The present advance in price for oil
is stimulus to the explorer. A
well that produces 10000 barrels of
oil a day when oil is worth Sl.5O a
barrel will soon pay for cost of
S25 900. There are such wells. There
is an ever-present possibility that the
next well drilled in may be such.
Two years ago a well was drilled in
the northeast corner of the old Cush-
! ing pool. 1t was just 4 fair well.
| 1t never promised to become factor
in the making of oil history. 1t was
recently drilled deeper as sort of
experiment In the Tucker sand it
struck a reservoir that Yielded 500
| barrels IN hour. 1t was for time
the biggest we'll ever drilled in Okla
homa. Then it got to flowing salt
water and was ruined,
Conditions Have Changed.
A year ago oil producers were still
! attempting to get the Oklahoma cor
poration commission to attempt en-
forcing the QuiXotic plan of the legis
/ lature to fix prices for oil, so that
they could pay their debts and inter
est on their capital. Production fell
off. The demand increased. The eX
tremity gave place to boom that is
now stimulating the gambling spirit
which will make the average quick
millionaire by the oil route become
again a broken adventurer-if he is
not very careful-a thing that oil
men as a rule are not, Put many OF
them will live longer and enjoy life
better if fortune shall turn against
them. They are eating too much anc
not exercising enough. Besides, the
market for automobiles and diamonds
has no business to be so stiff while
munitions are occupying the spotlight
and with the dissipation Of these easy
millions to drfIIers will come pos
sible readiustment of values in sucf
luxuries as many Americans seek tt
classify as necessaries.

centive in Oklahoma to explore for
oil. Every section of Oklahoma that
has not heretofore been thoroughly
explored is now the excited scene
either of rivalry for oil leases or CO.
operation among owners of lands to
secure some explorer to drill by
presenting him bundle of leases
on 10000 or 10000 acres.
It requires but a small area of land
to cover a Gushing or a Spindletop.
The anticline that geologists point
out may or may not conceal oil a
mile below the surface. 1t is a pros
pect. Anticlines are numerous in Ok
lahoma. 1t is just one anticline after
another. So the exploration for oil
is one of the most ineXhaustible and
fascinating forms of taking a chance.
It used to be that a territory was
condemned when a dry hole was made
within a radius of five or ten miles.
Now it is known that such a radius
may contain both dry holes and 10000
barrel wells.
The thrill Of the driller who is
nearing the oil sand few miles away
from proved or disproved territory
is the same, it is alleged, as that of
player who has a stack of gold on
the last case card in a faro game
That is why the cash is always to be
had for further exploration Of prom
Using territory in the view of the oil

Series of Antfcllnes.
There is series of anticlines eX
tending across Oklahoma from Black
well on the Kansas line to Tillman
county on the Texas line. The theory
of oil men is that fields will be found
all across Oklahoma on this line be
tween Blackwell and Electra. There
are now scouts all along this route
securing leases. In some case' the
. leases are secured for nothing. In
others the cost is as high as a do'li
an acre. Unless near production the
latter price is unusual and is reached
only because a number Of geologistS
have reached the same favorable con
clusion without knowledge of the in
vestigations made by each other
Some of the more successful and en-
| terprising oil companies are hiring as
many as five biologists to make dis
| tinct and confidential examinations
and reports on the same areas Il
the geologists all reach the same con
! clusion as TO property, there Is
likely to be spirited bidding for the
leases-provided the owner does no
lease to the agent making the frs
offer.

BURNED HIS PLAY
Fire Ruined Three Years. Work
Of Topeka Man.
E. r. Ridings, 619 Lincoln
Street, a Vaudeville Artist.

TO work three years writing a play
then have the manuscript destroyed
within five minutes by fire, is the ex-
perience OF LaHoma Ridings, son of
r. r. Ridings, at 619 Lincoln street
The Ridlngs home caught fire yester-
day afternoon and because of series
of mishaps the roof and attic were
destroyed.
The fire department was on the job
in plenty of time but had trouble with
two hydrantS. Chief Hanlon was not
exactly sure today just what the trou-
BILE was but in order to get water on
the fire it was necessary to change the
hose lines. A street car ran over one
section of hose but Chief Hanlon
stated that caused no delay whatever.
The fire was held in check with the
chemical line while the hose lines
were transferred.
Ridings stated to the fire depart
ment that he is a vaudeville artist and
that the fire not only destroyed all
his stage paraphernalia but the play
upon which he had been working for
three years.

1T Is NO BLUFF THIS Time

"Harve" Parsons, chief of police,

This time there is no joke about
Chief Parsons's resignation. 1t is the
real thing. 1t follows the announce
ment by Mayor House that apparently
there was no way to increase the sal
airy of the chief from $500 to $1,S0O
a year. Mayor House invited criticism
by announcing publicly that he pro-
posed to ask Parsons to resign, to get

Will TAG WILSON
PacifiStS to Follow Presidents
Preparedness Itinerary.
Will Begin Invasion of Middle
West in February.

Washington, Jan. 19.-When Presi-
dent Wilson takes the stump for pre-
paredness, a formidable array of
speakers for peace will likewise go be-
fore the country. The trail of the
peace advocates will be exactly the
same as the president's-just behind
him.
This declaration was made today by
representative w. W. Bailey of Penn
sylvania, friend of w. ]. Bryan, who
said ne heard from the latter last
night. He named the following prob
able speakers in the follow up cam
paign;
Bryan, Rabbi Wise, David Starr Jor-
dan, Oswald Garrison Willard, Meyer
London and Morris Hillquist.
Indiana, Illinois. Missouri and Ohio
are most likely to receive this for
midable invasion first, if the plan an
nounced by Bailey is carried out, for
today's indications are that they will
be the first visited by the president.
The trip will probably be made the
week of February or 20.
Invitations continue to pour in by
telegraph from all parts of the coun-
try. Today Senator Kern urged the
president to appear before a congress
of church organizations in Indianapo-
lis next March.
