CONSTIPATION CAUSES OBSTINATE HEADACHES

When your head aches you : will usually find the bowels have been inactive, and if you relieve this condition, by clearing the intestinal organs of the ferment- ing congestion of stomach waste, foul gases and bile, the head is relieved immediately.
 Remember this the next time you suffer from headache. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by drug gists under the name of Dr. Ca1dwell's Syrup Pepsin, is high { ly recommended as a gentle lax ative that acts easily and quick ly, without gripping or discom- fort. It contains no opiate, mar cotic, or habit-forming drug, is pleasant to the taste, and a most effective household remedy. Mothers find it especially desir- able as laxative for children.
 You can buy Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin from your drug gist for fifty cents. Get a bot tie and have it in the house when needed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writ ing to Dr. w. B. Caldwell. 456 Washington St.. Monticello. 1lli- nois.

VIVIAN MARTIN AT
 KEENEY'S THEATER

y, Dainty Vivian Martin who recently scored such pronounced successes in Giving Becky Chance and "The Spirit of Romance" and who will be seen at Keeney's Theater today and Saturday in the Pallas-Paramount production of Paul Vests clever story "A Kiss For Susie" prepared es- pecially for her by Harvey T. Thew and produced under the personal di- rection of Robert Thornby, has estab- lished for herself a unique position in the Armament of photodramatio stars. A little wisp of a girl. full of vitality and charm and with a roguish- ness all her own, she has been hailed by many as the Jeff" of the film.
 In "A Kiss For Susie" Miss Martin has a role exactly opposite to that she had in her last appearance on the Paramount program in Forbidden Paths" Now she is seen as Susie Mo- Ian, the energetic young daughter of
 Jim Nolan, an artistic bricklayer
 Young Phil Burnham of the firm for
 which Nolan works decides to begin
 at the bottom by carrying the bod but
 takes a different name. On& day he
 meets Susie as she comes to bring her
 father his lunch. The friendship
 grows before long and the two young
 sters are in love. Then Susie's uncle from Australia dies and they are left a lot of money and, as Susie expresses it. anything over six. dollars a day 1 makes a bricklayer dizzy, so her fa- ther and her older brother and sister imm mediate1y start out to be social but terfies. Susie sees that the gay life is l wrecking their happiness SO she plans l that her father shal1 make an ln- l vestment and lose all of his money. l This is done, and how matters are strengthened out and how everyone Is finally happy Is brought about in Paul Vests most clever and unusual i manner.

In a certain little magazine in which would-be and actually-are wri- ters tell about their methods. their difficulties and their successes, there was an article some weeks ago by a man who writes articles and essays of various sorts.
 He told how he went about 1t. In- stead of writing an article of hap hazard length on any subject which happened to come to his attention and which he thought might be in- teresting, he bought the various mag azines and studied them. He found out exactly what sort of material each magazine was using, how long an ar- ticle they would use, what style of writing they liked-the flippant, the serious, the technical, the popular.
 And then he went to work.
 Was 1t any wonder he succeeded? He knew just what he was trying to do.

 How can you get what you want un- less you know what it is?
 If woman for instance, makes un her mind when she's married. to be the best housekeeper in the neighbor- hood, she can probably do that, and she mustn't be surprised if she sud- denly finds that other women are more successful comrades for their husbands than she. She didn't try for success in that line and she didn't get it.

REYNOLDS
WINS LAND
LITIGATION
Supreme Court Of United States Affirms
Judgment Of Highest State
Court

Attorney F. e. Riddle received a tel
egram today from the clerk Of the U,
S. supreme court in Washington, no
tifying him that the high court had
affirmed the judgment of the supreme
court of Oklahoma in the well known
land case of Dave Hill versus G. A.
Reynolds, the decision being in favor
of the latter.
The litigation involving about 450
acres of Washita valley land started
between these parties in 1902. After
suit was filed by Hill against Rey-
nolds, the land was selected as allot-
ment by Reynolds for his children.
Hill filed a contest which was fought
through all Of the different land de-
partments, Hill winning until it reach
ed the secretary Of the interior, vN9
reversed and set aside the ly---s4' oplA-
ions and ordered patents issued to
Reynolda children. Hill then filed
suit in the superior court OF Grady
county, Oklahoma, to cancel the pat
ents issued to Reynolds.
The court decided in favor of Hill
and cancelled the patents, whereupon
Reynolds appealed to the supreme
court of Oklahoma In that court an
opinion was rendered reversing the
superior court and directing judgment
rendered in favor Of Reynolds, restor-
ing the patents. From this judgment
Hill prosecuted an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States,
where the case was argued by Alger
Melton and Senator Bailey for Hill,
and f. E. Riddle for Reynolds. The
supreme court of the U. S. today
filed an opinion affirming the SUI
preme court of Oklahoma. Thus final
ly ends long drawn out litigation
over valuable tract Of land in Grady
county.

Oklahoma City Jan. S.-President
Frank M. Gault Of the state board Of
agriculture has little love for the meth
DDS Of the federal government in
handling their affairs in this state.
Conservation Of the trend of events
has convinced this department that
the general tendency of the burc III
cratic organizations at the nations
capital is to centralize more and more
the government, and constantly ex-
tend the tentacles of federal control.
Unless the public awakens to what is
going ON, they will find that what has
been done in transferring control Of
the militia from state to federal gov
ernment win be repeated III connec-
tion with the so-called cooperative
farm extension work, land grant col
leges and other vital interest. Cali
fornia has already scented a rodent in
the woodpile and is refusing federal
advances under the guise of co-opera-
tion and it were well that other states
carefully scrutinize all such matters"

AFTER NEGRO BOYS

The police department is hot on the

have been in the habit Of playing tru-

stead Of pursuing their studies have
been found lettering about the streets.

up" declared Officer Baird today.
eWhile only few Of them are aus-

at times we viii arrest any OF them
we find for lettering, and stop it all.
As a consequence it is safe to say
that the number of colored boys found
running loose during school hours will
henceforth be considerably reduced.

note himself on his own typewriter
and that the White House employees
did not know Of its existence.

stock broker because Gerard wanted
to buy bonds.
