GUSTS DR.. SHEPARD
After All-Day Hearing Board

Medicine in State.

Word was received last night from
Oklahoma City that the state board OF
medical examiners had revoked the
license granted DR. Thomas e. Shep-
ard. Tulsa physician, after an all
day hearing on the merits of a petit
ton presented by representatives OF
the Tulsa county medical society.
The action probably Is the result
of charges now pending against Doc
tor Shepard in the county court, In
which 1t Is claimed that he performed
n criminal operation upon Miss Loyce
Smith last May. which resulted In
her death. DR.. Shepard denies hav-
ing had anything to do with the case,
except that he was called in after the
girl was dying as result of the
operation.
The complaint before the state
board was signed by DR.. s. DeZell
IIawley, who purports to represent
the Tulsa county medical society.
George Reeves, prosecuting attorney
for this county, was in Oklahoma

Doctor Shepard.

ON "KlDDIE CAR" SPEEDWAY
Children Now Have Their own Little
Sidewalk Race Courses.

The kiddie car is undoubtedly the
simplest conveyance, from the suuc-
tural standpoint, known to modern
invention. We should think the man
who first thot of it and who made the
first one would have been ashamed 10
put It on the market. 1t must have
seemed to him like applying for let

two behind and one before. The
means of locomotion is provided by
the owners little legs. which are not
covered by the patent, or, on these
fine summer days, by much of any
thing else, for that matter, and how
they do locomote.
Here comes Doaothy Tripp now,
passing our house on her kiddie car
for the 2l7th time, by actual count,
today. Dorothy's little white SKIRT
hangs demurely on either side or the
board of which she sits astride ana
she moves her little legs slowly and
with dignity, as If she were out for n
lc>3urely morning walk. She looks
very thotful and cute and kiddie car
ring appears TO De tlle SellouS puSl-
ness of her life. And here comes Billy
Dittoe on his kiddie car. 1t is the
259th time for him. for Billy Is boy,
of course and has to show that he
can pass Dorothy on the speedway any
time he wants to- occasionally bump
ing into her, still further to establish
the superiority of sex. Kiddie earring
is the main business Of life with Billy
also, for he has abandoned his fine
sS25 velocipede entirely for the sim
pier vehicle, but boys must have ex-
citement and Billy gets his by moving
his round little legs as If he were run
ming the l0O-yard dash in 3-5, fiat,
with the result that he travels at a
truly marvellous pace. for kiddie car
driver.
And so the kiddle car maneuvers
go on all day long and day after day.
The man who invented that strange
vehicle is public benefactor in more
ways than one. He has fixed 1t so
that the children have more fun than
they ever had before in all their lives.
and the man who does that deserves
an everlasting crown.

When you see a person with
clear skin, flushed with the
color of perfect health, you
will notice that the skin is
smooth and free from blem-
ishes. There are no pimples,
splotches, humors. 1t will be
true of the face and true of
the body. 1t is a sure indica-
ton that rich red blood is
coursing through the veins. 1t
means that the blood is full of
red corpuscles. 1t would be
able to throw off a minor all
ment Immediately, and be in
much better shape to success
fully combat any Of the more
serious and stubborn diseases,
which we are all liable to.
For the same reason that
healthy, clear skin is an indi-
cation of strong pure blood,
blotchy and pimply skin is an
indication of a disordered con-
dition of the blood.
Improper eating and drink
ing, intemperate habits, or un-
wise treatment of simple in
fections, cause the blood to de-
teriorate, producing effete mat
ter which acts as poisons and
the circulation carries these
poisons to the various tissues,
especially the skin. Then the
blood begins to throw off the
humors and acids through the
pores and glands of the skin,
producing Eczema, Acne, Tet-
te, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and
other skin eruptions of various
kinds.
Eczema usually appears, with
a slight redness of the skin,
followed by pustules, from
which flows a fluid that dries
