THAT MORNING LAMENESS

If you are lame every morning, and suffer urinary ills, there must be a cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To strengthen the weakened kidneys and avert more serious troubles. use Doan's Kidney Pills. You can rely on New Britain testimony.
 F. Ciantlone, shoemaker, 147 Main St., New Britain, says: Il couldn't stand on my feet for ten minutes be- fore my back began to ache and pain As l have to be on my feet all the time. it made it very hard on me. I used to go home evenings all tired out and aching across my back so badly that I was miserable. I couldn't sleep on account of the pain and it was hard to turn over or move in bed. Mornings on getting up l was tired, lame and stiff across my back. I took Doan's Kidney Pills which I bought at Scherp's Drug Store, and now I feel like q different man. Doan's have stopped the pains across my back and brought me strength. My back is now strong and seldom troubles me-

 DiScIOSeS.

Reports received in New Britain re- garding the location of Private Joseph Carroll, son of MT. and Mrs. Thomas Carroll of 72 Sexton street. member of Company E, recently reported to be prisoner in a German camp, are conflicting. One report has come stating that he has been located at Camp Cassell a German prison camp, while a telegram received last eve ming by the parents of the soldier states that he is back on duty. The telegram was dated Washington, Sep tember IT, 1918, ' o'clock, and read as folloWs:
 MT. and Mrs Thomas Carroll,
 Happy to inform you that Private Joseph Carroll, infantry, previously reported as missing in action since July 25, has been located and is now back on duty.

 Following one of the big battles, Carroll wrote to his parents telling them that he was in a base hospital for treatment for minor wounds.

The Next Big News.

Tulsa World: The next big news
will come from the petroleum war
service committee in New York. 1t
will relate whether or not that body
and Mr.. Requa approve the recon-
mendations forwarded by the sub
committees OF producers and rehn-
ers, drawn up at the meeting III
Chicago the first OF the week.
At the present time, everything
that transpired at the Chicago meet
ings is shadowed in great air OF
secrecy and not a thing is available
for publication. There is nothing
to be said or done until definite ac-
ton By the main committee in New
York and the oil administrator has
been taken.
If the recommendations are ap-
proved, another meeting OF the sub
committees OF producers and rehn-
ers will be held in Tulsa for the
purpose OF working out detail mat
ter that will lead up to the execu-
ton Of the new arrangements.
1t has been asked by some why
the meetings were held in Chicago
and the answer is that Chicago was
selected as the site because it was
convenient for Mr.. Requas repre-
sentative. Mr.. O'Donnell will pos
sibly not be present at the next
gathering, should there be any, and
consequently, the meetings will be
held in Tulsa, where almost all OF
the members of the subcommittee
are located.
In the meaHimc, everybody
should turn deaf ear to all items
relating to what transpired at the
Chicago meeting because there was
absolutely nothing that could leak
out to the general public or to news
writer's. Curiosity seekers, interest
ed outsiders, and even the oil re-
portrs were not allowed at the hear
ings and therefore information is nil.
Certain news writers have en-
deavored to give the impression that
the rehners experienced difficulty in
getting together and that the pro-
ducers in their meeting on Monday,
suggested that a congested condi-
ton of reineries and pipe lines pre-
vailed, which would be best RENE
died by the elimination OF the least
efficient. The least efficient REIN
cries, according to the report, in
cludes the skimming plants. The
truth of the matter is that the sub
committee OF retiners approved the
action taken by the producers and
agreed that it was sample OF their
fair mindedneSs and the broad view
taken of the situation. The desire
of all in the petroleum industry at
the present time is that every rehn-
cry should be assisted to work in
the most efficient manner possible.

tually were larger for the tive
months this year than last. They
were 81 ,3o0.282,620, compared with
$l.274,970,49S, giving a margaln

Early in May it was reported, for
mer Minister of War Colyn OF Hol-
land had gone to England aboard a
Dutch torpedo boat to explain to
the British government the difficult
situation that had arisen in Holland
as a result of the demands made
upon that country by Germany.
At the same time, however, it was
rumored he was a German peace EN-

the purpose OF making unofficial in
quries as to the sentiment toward
the negotiation of peace terms be-
tween Germany and the entente al
lies.

ton of Oklahoma Resources and
Future Regulation David F. Con-
molly general counsel of the VOL
VERNE Oil Company, and j.. r. Oar
by, vice-president OF the Mid-Con-
tinent Oil and Gas Association, will
explain the working out of the rul-
ings to be made as a result of the
Chicago conference, which will have
tar-reaching effect upon Oklaho-
ma oil production. The fact that
hundreds OF thousands of dollars
are being wasted in questionable
promotions and that this condition
affects the Legitimate promotion of
all phases OF mining industry in the
state has led the producers inter
ested in the conference to take up
the matter Of Blue Sky Law" for
Oklahoma and Judge James K. Kea-
ton Of Oklahoma City will discuss
the problem from the legal stand
point. II. c. Dawson, editor Of the
Oil and Gas News at Kansas City,
has been invited to address the con-
vention on the effect of restrictive
laws as applied to oil promotions
and the need OF such laws in all oil
producing states.
The wonderful story of the zinc
development of Oklahoma and its
relative position in the upbuilding Of
the state will be discussed by O. +.
Brinton, president of the Tri-State
Mines Safety and Sanitation Asso-
ciation, which is composed of zinc
and lead producers in Kansas, Mis-
Souri and Oklahoma. A special
meeting of the zinc association will
be held in Picher Wednesday to or
ganize big delegation to come to
the Oklahoma City meeting and it
is expected that the zinc men will
form one of the largest sections OF
the American Mining Congress
chapter which will be formally
launched during the convention.
A section of the conference will
be set apart for coal operators and
J. G.. Putterbaugh OF McAlester will
address the convention upon the
problems under which the coal op-
orators OF Oklahoma are meeting
government and commercial re-
quirements. There will be addresses
of welcome by Governor Williams
and Mayor Overholser of Oklaho-
ma City and it is expected that
James F, Gallibreath, general secre-
tary of the American Mining Con
gresS, will be present to discuss the
conditions under which the wasting

requirements.

In the second place, 1t will help the
