SANE DELIVERY METHODS.

The zone system for retail delivery,
much talked of by rcformers i'll many
cities, is really to be put in operation
bv milk dealers in San Francisco.
The plan was worked out by milk
distribution commission working
under the local federal food commis-
sioner. 1t is intended to avoid
duplication OF delivery service and
to effect numerous economies.
Each delivery wagon will hereafter
serve only one zone or district. No
other wagon will be allowed in that
district and long hauls will be elimi-
mated. In a territory now divided
among fifteen different dealers, not
more than two will be allowed to
operate.
Milk in San Francisco, according
to the news report, now sells tor
twelve cents a quart, which is less
than the price in a good many other
cities. The zone system and other
economies to be tried out are cX-
pected TO keep this price from soar
ing and at the same time TO allow
producers a slightly larger return,
needed to make up for increased cost
of production.
High prices and difficult labor
conditions may yet drive us to do
things that wise people have long
been urging us to do for individual

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSP H ATE
Nothing Like Plain rO-PhOsphate to
Put on Firm. Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, VigOr
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara.
tions and treatments which are contin.
ually being advertised for the purpose
Of making thin people fleshy, develop
ing arms, neck and bust. and replacing
ugly hollows and angles by the sofe
curved lines of health and beauty.
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so wlel as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by most all druggists under q
guarantee Of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, btro-phosl hate quickly pro-
duces a welcome Transformation in the
appearances, the increase in weight ire
quently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessnesS and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplc9sness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh.growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire
to put on flesh.

of Army trucks are rolling out OF
Chicago and Buffalo and Detroit
dottng the roads that lead to the
eastern seaboard. They are trucks
OF the u. s. Q. NJ. C.-the Quarter

is to carry on and carry forward foI

Day after day, for weeks and
months, they have been rolling out,
travelling along at a swift measured
pace each just twenty feet behind
its fellow, each driven by lean, long
limbed. bronzed young man who IS
headed straight, for his baptism OF

His truck, he knows, is more than

holding the line on ahead.
And just as surely as the old
prairies schooner battled its way
across the continent and fought
through sand heat and drought, so
this great land fleet of new day
will keep toiling till it has crossed
its desert and broken down the bar

Senator John Golobie

From the Guthrie Leader
John Golobie, candidate for the
Republican gubernatorial nomlna
ton has the following to say regard
ing events that led to his defeat a
the polls. Everybody in Guthrie
and thousands of people throughout
the state, who know Ohm Golobit
personally are indignant over The
political canards printed and circu'
lated by mouth regarding his pa
triotism. Golobie is patriot ano
has probably done more to promote
war activities in the state than al
of his traducers combined. In ar
editorial appearing in a recent IS
sue OF his paper appears the follow
ing from his pen:

Republican nomination for governor
of this state because of insinuationi
cast upon my foreign birth. Like a
poisonous gas the insidious whisper
was sent abroad over this state that
He was born in Austria and will
not do" Trickily the party bosses,
whose only interest is to control the
machinery of the Republican party
of this state for the 1920 national
campaign, purposely sent out lit
erature saying, "He was born in
Austria" and then stopped. Mr..
Vern Whiting, now chairman OF the
Republican State Committee, print
ed an insinuating article in his Paw
huska Capital, casting reflections by
an inuendo against my patriotism.

slider them worse than traitors-they
are assassins OF patriots, and have
no reservations to make either to
them or TO other men who gained
their political point in taking such
cowardly advantage of me.
The thousands of citizens who
have heard me on the war issue
know that the very foundation upon
which | ran for governor were my
patriotism. My politics seemed to

These cities and others will be as
tonished that any one would dare to
scatter poisonous seed abroad
against such convictions as they
heard me utter. At the State Press
Association meeting, at Medicine
Park, my address was voted to be
printed in plate and paid Tor by the

| was shipped to this country in
my tenth year because the govern
ment was inimical to my race. Two
divisions of my race who walked out
of Austrian trenches to the Italian
side in that drive last fall are now
fighting with the Allies on the west
ern front, under their own COM
manders. Sixty thousand Slavs,
Austrian prisoners i'll Russia who re-
fused to so back to Austria and
fight for their country, have fought
their way back to Vladivostok, and
there are now $4,000 Austrian
Slavs, of my blood, in Russia, who
are to be made the nucleus by the
Allies of an army to defeat the Boil
sheviki government and turn Russia
into the Allied hands.
The president OF the Republic of
Bohemia is now in America urging
this government to assist in the pro-
paganda to break the morale of the
Austrian army and so crush the
Austrian empire. A congress of
Slavonic races of Austria was held
at Rome, some time ago, and formu-
lated the Confederacy of the Balkan
Union of the 4S states of this coun-
try.
For three years before this coun-
try went into the war, the Slavonic
races of America, Jugo-Slavs, of
southeastern Austria, the Bohem-
iaIs, Czechs, Silicians, the Poles of
Germany, Russia and Austria, and
the leaders OF the Slav element of
Russia, had propaganda in Ameri-
ca to help undermine the Empire OF
Austria and Germany.
Everybody who knows anything,
know that if the war is to be ended
yictoriously for the Allies anytime
sooner than by force of arms, it will
be due to the help of the Slavonic
Union of America and Europe in
creating revolution in Austria and
destroying the militaristic dynasty
OF the Hapsburgs.
If the statesmen of this country
possessed the diplomatic knowledge
that they should, they would today
break down the government of Aus
tria by diplomatic methods for the
benefit of the Allies. as Germany
broke down that of Russia to its
benefit. Diplomacy is sometimes
more disintegrating and more dead
ly as a weapon OF conquest than
arms.
The Slavs OF America are more
than patriots-they are super-pa-
triotic. They left Austria because
they hated their government.
But men of little character and
little vision do little things, yet the
consequences are great. Defeating
a man for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor of Oklahoma by
casting hidden insinuations against
his patriotism may be considered a
slight matter by men who have had
the great privilege of being born
natives of this great republic; but
it is no little matter with me. This
great and free government is my

sister-my all. / have sacrificed all

An American Airdrome in France,
July 2O.-(Correspondence of The
Associated ess.)-Before leaving
on a long distance night raid the
airmen first prepare their maps with
great care, making on them the de-
tailed course from the aerodrome to
their objective.
By means of small balloon,
whose speed direction and height is
recorded by an instrument on the
ground, the force and direction OF
the wind at different attitudes is
discovered, and the compass course,
allowing for wind-drift, is marked
beside the course on the map. The
compass course for the return jour
ney is also marked. The speed OF
the machine is calculated, and on
the line of the course a series OF
points are marked, showing where
the machine should be every ten
minutes, thus enabling the airman
to check his progress and to know
his approximate position ii he gets
| lost.
The airman climbs in circles above
his aerodrome until he has gained
sufficient height to start safely
on his Journey, and then turns his
machine eastward, until his illum-
mated compass shows that he is
flying on the right course. Then he
flies straight, taking care to avoid
swervirIg to right or LETT.
At the same time he watches the
country below for landmarks. AS he
crosses the lines he looks for some
distinctive feature, such as the bend
of canal, the dark mass of bat
tered town, or the thin black thread
of railway. If he finds it, he
knows he is on the right course.
Then he sees that river should
appear in few minutes. His watch
shows that he has been flying forty
minutes, and near the forty-five min
ute mark on his map is a twisted pale
blue line. He looks ahead and sees
in the moonlight silver streak
and he knows he is making good
time. When he is over the river he
compares its outline with his map,
and sees that he is crossing it at
the right place. He is forging stead
iy ahead to his destination. lie
sees the river and canals most clear
" OF all the landmarks in the night
time. Water is unmistakable. The
next most distinct objects are woods
and forests which appear like black
patches, and their shape is usually
very distinct. He sees the roads like
thin white ribbons save where they
are thickly bordered by trees.
Railways are not SO distinct and
he cannotsee them very TAR Oft, tor
they are likely microscopic black
lines. Until he is directly over them
he cannot see the towns and villages,
but he can see the river many miles
off. and finds them the most reliable
guide of all.
So, checking his compass with the
landmarks and with the ever-reliable
North Star, he arrives at his desti-
nation after travelling many miles
across unfamiliar country. He drops
his bombs, and finds the returns,
with lightened cargo, very much
easier. There is a kind of "homing
instict" SO airmen say, which takes
them back quickly and directly with
little difficulty"

My dear niece: The cynic is de
pressed about women. Cynics gen
orally are, believe. II women hat
no faults the cynics would have nc
Jobs, and this cynic gets fat salary
so / am informed, for lampooninE
her own sex.
She has Just spilled two columns
Of printers ink over the clubwomen
whom she accuses ofNinability to un-
derstand friendship and general
and specific lack Of sex solidarity.
The cause OF the ebulliton was
the action Of local clubwomen in
two recent superior court trials, in
each Of which u woman figured as
defendant.
one of these women was Il weak
ling who went to wreck through the
strength Of her love and the weak
ness OF her intellect. l will tell you
her story first
She loved a man for whom she
deserted home and husband and
who later married another woman.
Testimony was produced to show
that after marriage he still clung to
tho woman who had sacrificed all
for him, that he used money she
had earned on the street for his own
political advancement, and also fixed
on her the liquor and drug habit.
He was elected to an honorable Of
flee in the gift of his state; but his
wife divorced him. He went back
to the woman who loved him but
later married another woman, and
1t Is alleged said vile things to her
about the woman he had ruined.
These things acted like corrosives on
the moral fiber of the weakling, and
she killed the man in the presence
of his wife.
The jury disagreed majority
being for acquittal. and the district
attorney dismissed the case. The
woman Is free.
What hurts the cynic is that
women of all classes stood by the
accused woman. fought for her ac.
quittal and attended her trial daily.
Why?
Willie asked me this question with
his finger tracing the words of the
cynic In morning PAPER.
Why Will women fight publicly
in defense of q woman with whom
they will not associate privately?"
is the way he put it, And | told
him:
They are not fighting for a won
an, but for a principle. They were
fighting against the sex conspiracy
that punishes the woman for loving
