The Folly of Taking
Digestive Pills
A Warning To Dyspeptics.

The habit of taking digestive
pills after meals makes chronic
dyspeptics of many thousands of
men and women because artificial
digestants, drugs and medicines
have practically no influence upon
the excessively acid condition of
the stomach contents which is the
cause of most forms of indigestion
and dyspepsia.
The after dinner pill merely les
sens the sensitiveness of the stom-
ach nerves and thus gives a false
sense of freedom from pain. If
those who are subject to indi-
gestion, gas. flatulence, belching,
bloating, heartburn, ETC., after
eating would get about an ounce
of pure bisurated magnesia, from
their druggist and take a tea
spoonful in a little water after
meals, there would in most in
stances, be no further necessity
for drugs, medicines, pepsin. pills
or artificial digestents, because
bisurated magnesia instantly neu-
tralizes stomach acidity, sweetens
the sour stomach, stops food fer
mentation and thus insures nor
NAL, painless digestion by enabling
the stomach to do its work with
out hindrance.
AS there are various forms of
magnesia be sure to ask the drug
gist for Bisurated Magnesia which
is the form especially prepared for
the correction of stomach acidity.

Wife of Ousted Mayor, Recently
Society Favorite, Now Is Matron
of Los Angeles Penny Dance Hall

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 16.
"A few months ago Mrs. Charles
e. Sebastian was the wife of the
mayor of this city. Power, wealth
and social prestige were hers for
the asking. She was First lady
of the city," 100000 people rec
ognized her as the official leader
of Los Angeles society.
Then suddenly, in a single day,
a political crash changed her des-
tiny. Her husband was swept out
of office by a newspaper which
charged him with inefficieney and
misconduct In the administration
of his duty. Mayor Sebastian sued
this paper for libel one morning
and then resigned in the after
noon. He left the mayors chair
broken and discredited.
Today his wife works as matron
of a penny dance hall. Her pres
tige is gone, her social standing
has been swept away, and there
remains only her logged deter
mination to do good.
Bitter Against Politics
But Mrs. Sebastian has no re-
grets.
What is it that counts for the
most in life?" she asked. as 1t
all that goes with a high position,
or is it chance to find yourself
useful and to learn If your friends
are true?
Il have had so many adven-
lures in the last six months that
don't feel like the same woman"
she said with timid smile. "Of
course. ! wish my husband had
finished his term, but we were not
rich enough to fight.
"Still am happier now
than when my husband was
mayor. Politics IL a thank
less game. II brings YOU moth
ing but tribulations. There
is no lasting service a man
can do in public office for his
efforts are misunderstood
and unappreciated. His only
reward is merciless criticism.
The mistakes he makes are
constantly hurled in his face
and the good he does Is in
TERED with his political bones
when he steps down and out.
No, there Is nothing TO be
gained i'm politics"
Mrs. Sebastian is a frank,
wholesome type of woman-iust
the sort to chaperon young girls.
Her eyes light with pleasure when
she mentions her friends.
She works every day. often
from five o'clock in the morning
until midnight. Alone, she takes
care of her eight-room house. In
the days of her husbands political
power this work was done by her
| servants.
When reporter saw her she
was in the midst of big washing.
Her cheeks were flushed and her
arms red from the unaccustomed
! labor.
Il have never found life so in
teresting, said Mrs. Sebastian.
Perhaps 1t is because I am so
much more useful. My butterfly
| life is ended. Scarcely day
passes that l don't do humanity a
real good

Row Crop Is Practically Assured
General Over Southwest.
The biggest news feature Of the
week was the rain Of nearly two
inches which fell in this vicinity
Tuesday night. 1t was regular old
gully washer which will do wonders
toward reviving the. spring crops.
This practically guarantees the farm
ers a spring crop of some sort. With
few more good rains such as this
the farmers of Seward county will
have the biggest spring crop they
have ever had. An immense acre
age has been planted.
The rain was fairly general as
near as could be learned Good rains
fell in Texas just before the rain
fell here. It is not known how far
north the rain extended but it GOV.

C. X. & O. SURVEY
NOW AT RIVER
Men Hope to Finish Work
There in About Ten
Days.
Work Will Progress Rapidly

Another Month.

Surveyors for the C. X. & o.
working south from Garden City
pitched their tents on the Cimarron
river and will survey crossing there
within the next ten days, according
to E. D. Cooper, who made trip to
that territory yesterday. The work
of crossing the river and getting
through the brakes will be difficult
but when this is done the work will
progress nearly as fast as the sur
veyors can walk across the country.
Work probably will be completed
within 80 days after they have sur
veyed the crossing.
The crew working out of Forgan
has completed the crossing of the
river there and has gone to Scott
City where the men will do detail
work on the survey that has just been
made.
The surveyors on the Santa Fe
line running west from Satanta have
reached Johnson City. The country
there is level and their work probab-
ly will be completed some time this
month.

GRAIN PURCHASES
Local Elevators Have Been
Asked for Amounts Bought
Since January l, 1912

All the elevator and warehouse
owners Of Liberal have received a
letter and blank from Herbert c..
Hoover, food commissioner, asking
that they furnish him with a list of
all purchases Of rye, wheat and bar
ley since January 1, 1912. All ele-
vators in the United States handling
rye, wheat and barley have been re-
quested to do so.
The blank covers everything that
could help the commissioner in any
way. The questions asked are
son what railroad is your house To-
cated?" "What is the capacity of the
railroad sidetrack?" "What is the
capacity of elevator or warehouse?"
"To what cities is most of your grain
shipped?" and "What part of your
grain do you normally ship to the To-
cal mills?"
By way of explanation the letter
says:

ALLEGED SOLDIER
is UNDER ARREST
Kenneth Napoleon Yer Duyn
Eloped With 14-Year-old
Girl Saturday Night
Probably Will be Tried For
Violation of Mann White
Slave Act

Kenneth Napoleon Yer Duyn, who
has been here the past two months
claiming to have been one of the
French defenders Of Verdun, was ar
rested in Shattnck, Texas, Monday
by o. E. Dobson, sheriff and G. L.
Light, county attorney. He was
lodged in the county Jail where he is
awaiting trial. A federal charge Of
violation of the Mann White Slave
Act probably will be lodged against
him. He will also be prosecuted by
the county.
Yer Duyn came here two months
ago when his wife, who was visiting
here, became ill with Scarlet Fever.
She was visiting her chum Maude
Balm. Last week Yer Duyn went to
Northern Texas where he met IT.
year old boy. The boy took his
fathers car and they came to Liber-
al. They were to return home with
Yer Duyn's SISTER" who was coming
over from France.
Last Saturday night these two
men and Pauline Balm, 14-year old
girl, left the city. The young man
who owned the car soon found out
about the "sister" and became scar
ed. Finally they left here with q
family by the name of Gillispie, liv.
ing about Is miles south of LaKemp
Okla. They promised to return fol
her. Not knowing just what to dc
they drove here and there among th'
railroad camps until their arrest a
Shattuck, Tuesday.
Yer Duyn and his wife had troubl,
several times while here and the pres
ent scrape was not surprise to tn,
officers. The Balm girl with whom
he eloped, so the officers say, il
young and untaught in the ways o.
| the world. She seems to be seeking
notoriety more than anything else
The young man who owned the cal
comes from good family and prob
ably was ignorant Of the real fact
of the case until it was too late. Hi,
youth will probably alleviate the Sc
verify of his punishment.
| Yer Duyn claims to have beer
wounded in the defense Of Verdun
He said he was in the army medical
corps. He wanted to lecture here
regarding the war, under the aus.
pices of the Red Cross, but those in
charge seemed to think there were
better ways of raising money. Of
ficers expressed belief that Chicago
was as near Verdun as the Soldier
got.
But soldier or no soldier he is now
facing serious charge.

Recover Goods Stolen From Sum.
mers' Store.
A man giving his name as Chas
Sommers was arrested at Enid, Ok.
charged with robbing the Charles
Summers & Sons store here little
more than week ago. The goods
have all been found. They arrived
in that city by express and the au-
thorities there seized them.
Sheriff Dobson and Ralph Sum-
mers went to Enid Tuesday af-
ternoon to identify the goods and re-
turn with the man held there. Sher-
iff Dobson hoped to recognize the
man held there as some one who had
been seen loafing around Liberal.
They intended to return with the
prisoner and the goods this after
noon.
