NeWSies Dine on
Extra Sandwiches

Oklahoma City newsboys would be
happy il the Chamber of Commerce
would give a good luck" party every
night. That is, provided there would al
ways be leftovers. Today, the newsies
feasted on sandwiches-beef, peanut
butter, pimcnto and lettuce.
Guests at the farewell reception to
reservists who left last evening for the
Leon Springs training camp seemed to
prefer punch to sandwiches even
though this is dry territory. At any
rate, a large basket full of the lunch
counter dclicacies escaped grinding last
night. Perhaps the celebrators were
Hooverizing and remembered their con-
servation pledges of wheatless and
meatleSs rcpasts.
The newsboys' lunch was the happy
thought Of Chamber of Commerce Off
Gals. Messengers were sent out on the
streets at noon and gathered a bunch of
about thirty boys at the chamber. The
basket Of eats disappeared in record
time.

PROBE or LYONS
CHARGE PROPOSED
BY 0. ]. LOGAN
Senator Wants Law Change
Allegation Investigated,

The appointment OF a special COM
mission by Governor Williams to in
vestigate charges OF Secretary Of State
J. l., Lyon that the Oklahoma session
laws were changed by the senate COM
mittee has been proposed by Senator o.
], Logan, a member of the committee.
This plan is looked upon with dis
favor by others, however, who view
Lyons exposure" a, an attempt to
manufacture political thunder. They
assert that Lyons %quibbling should not
be dignified with that much attention.
An investigation OF the alterations
which Lyon asserted had been made
resulted in finding that they were
merely minor corrections of errors
made to clarity the meaning and to
make the sentences grammatical.

Disease Spreads

Order Denounced

AMSTERDAM, Aug A-The pro-
posed prohibition Of bathing at home in
Germany to save fuel and soap, is called
rank folly by the Vossische Zeitung OF
Berlin. The paper says many public
baths already are closed owing to a lack
of coal and attributes notable increases
in skin diseases, dysentery and other
disorders to enforced uncleanliness. The
Norddcu,sche A%llgemeine Zeitung also
points out the increase of dysentery in
Berlin, a high percentage OF which is
fatal, while typhoid, which is spreading,

POPULAR TAILOR
 TELLS HIS STORY
Joeeph Landnan, of Meridon, Smya That TanIae Has Restored
 His Health.

Joseph Landman, popular tailor, of 21 Pratt street, Merideu, states that his present good health is due to ugo of TanIAc, the National Tonic. This is what he says:
 "I suffered from stomach trouble for a. number of years, and eventually my digestion went back on me. Everything ate seemed to rest in my stomach like a lump of lead. be- came very nervous and was unable to sleep. In the mornings I would have no appetite for breakfast, and would feel generally weak and played out.
 T read a Tanlac testimonial In the newspaper, became interested in the medicine, and began to use it. It has certainly done the work for me. It has made my digestive organs work properly, and TOW can eat anything want without being distressed. As soon as my digestion got all right, nerves became steady. apd was soon able to sleep well at night. Tanlao has put me back on my feet, and am glad to tell others about it."
 That Tanlac is able to restore di- gestion after years uf i'll health is a sure indication that 1t possesses superior merit. Tanlac tones up the stomach and builds up the general health.
 Tanlac is now being introduced ct Smiths RX. Store, 205 Main street. Tanlec may also be obtained in Jewett City at Germans Drug Store, and in Colchester at Otis Pharmacy.

MOOSUP SPEAKER AT
 Y. M. c. A. MEMS MEETING
Rev. A. H. Withee Addressed Gather ing In Thayer Building Store.

Rev. A. H. Withee, of Moosup, was the speaker at the mems meeting at the Thayer building yesterday and a good sized audience greeted him.
 The subject discussed was "Christ's Measure of a Man." and the speaker selected his text from the words of Jesus to Nathaniel, Behold an Isreal- ite in whom there is no guide" The speaker said in part:
 ''The word guide is not commonly used in these days and it is oftimes misunderstood. Guide is really what we would call the ability to get the better of the other fellow and then as now there were not a few who had this ability, but here was a man who was free from guile.
 Until I was twenty-six years of age I practiced guile to an extent and then, bless God, I walked out into the light of Gods salvation and the win ter sun shone brighter than ever and all because God had found his way in to my life. God wants men who will live guileless lives and if men will but do this He will use them mighti- 1y.
 The selections by Swahn's orchestra were unusually fine and the whole service was greatly enjoyed.
