A WORD TO THE
WISE ONES

Just a few years ago Oklahoma
City, Tulsa, Kansas City, Dallas,
Fort Worth, Ardmore and many
other prominent cities were but
small places in the middle Of the
road" You could have bought
property in any Of them for u
song-many did; millions didn't
and to those who didn't we now
cite you to a similar opportunity.
Look into New Wilson's claims
and do not hesitate to invest
your money in this rapidly
growing oil field city.

FOREWORD ON
TOWN BUILDING

TO build a town into a still larg-
er one, and to build large town
into city, it is absolutely essen
.ial that there be ample rich terri
tory adjacent to the place to sup
port it from without as it grows
within. This is true to a most un-
usual extent with New Wilson,
and just how any man can logi-
caIly reach any conclusion other
than that Wilson is one Of the
most favored towns in Oklahoma
can hardly be understood.

Well at that time I had only read
the first chapter and then i put the
book away until l was stronger and
better able to read it calmly.
The first chapter began:
ITO my wife Margie:
Il am writing these lines knowing
that very soon I shall have left her
never to return and wish In after
years, IL i have to go before my boy
is born, that she shall know me as
well as 1 do myself so that she can
make my boy know his father so well
that he may side-step his vices and
keep close to his few virtues.
'I wonder Margie dear. il in your
heart you think have any virtues al
aIl?"
'I can tell your son, Dick (strange
that he should be so sure his postum
mus child would be a son. that you
were one of the most lovable men

IAN men loved you. dear Dick, and
so did most women"
That night 1 determined to read
Dicks little book piece-meal when l
became lonely and wanted TO get near

Grave danger of infectious epidem-

Jim said he knew of our first quarrel
"Margie. Dick knew that he had not
long to live before you went to Cali

longer than DR.. virot told him he
would before you both went on the

My Dear Sir:
For a number of years | have

The consequence was a series Of
costly experiences; doctors and spe-
cialists alike tried and always failed.

to you on the 10th of April. last.
Today the dandruf has disap-
peared. my hair is no longer falling
out. and my scalp is thoroughly
healthy. Only a woman who suf-
fered as | have. can appreciate your
treatment. recommend it with all
sincerity to those who suffer as |
once did.

true, as a rule that the child whose
hands are soiled lacks the pride and

not find that the child that is scrup
uplous as to his person is superior to
his neighbor fthe soiled hands? Is

People everywhere are beginning to
realize that it pays to buy medicines
that have an established reputation
as they are the most trustworthy and
most dependable. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is one of them. It has been in
use for almost half a century. From n
small beginning its sale and use has
extended to all parts of the United
states and to many foreign countries.
When you have cough or cold give It
, trial and realize for yourself what an
excellent medicine 1t is.
