WHY RHEIMS WAS NOT
ATTACKED by HUN FORCES

New York Aug. 27.--Why Rheims has
not been attacked in force by the Ger
mans is explained by General Won
Ardenne, military critic in the Berlin
Ia ageblatt.
"1he city of Rheims has very
strong garrison" wrote the general; (;
''at least two divisions of colored colon
ial troops. These find full protection
from the German artillery fire in the
deep.laying cellars, miles in length
which the big champagne firms have
dug INTO the chalky soil. These cell
lars can also be kept closed to the
gas fumes which spread out over the
ruins of the city.
The garrison is therefore girded and
protected by an impenetrable armor.
In the event the German storming
attack, which in itself would be serious
in view of the permanent gas clouds
over Rheims. the French colonial troops
would be able to assume the defense
Of the city unweakened."

TOM WALDRUP WOULD
Be SPEAKER OF HOUSE

Oklahoman: Tom c. Waldrep Of
Shawnee is the first to openly aspire to
the speakership of the house of repre-.
sentatives of the Seventh legislature
which meets in regular biennial session
in January.
Waldrep was nominated on the Demo-
cratic ticket for representative from
Pottawatomie county in the recent Au-
gust primary election and while in Ok
Johanna City yesterday he announced
that he would be candidate for the
speakership. Waldrep has no opposi-
ton from Republicans or Socialists in
the general election. indicating beyond
doubt his election as Pottawatomies
representative
Two years ago Waldrep was one of
seven speakership candidates. but he
withdrew on the eve of the general
Democratic caucus, and swung his sup.
port to Paul Nesbit, who was chosen
by the caucus and elected. Waldrep
was made speaker pro tempore.
Nesbit also has been renominated. but
it is understood he will not again seek
of the honor Of being presiding officer.
Waldrep was one of the youngest
and most active members Of the house,
being still in his twenties

THIN PEOPLE \
SHOULD TAKE \
PH0SP 4 ATl
Nothing Like Plain BitrO.Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh ana
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 repiacihs
ugly hollows and angles by the SOL
curved lines of health and beaut!
there are evidently thousands of me
and women who keenly feel their e.
cessive thinness. NJ
Thinness and weakness are usu
due to starved nerves. Our boo h
need more phosphate than Is contain N
in modern foods. Physicians CLAIM
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic pnos'
phate known among druggists as pitro
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by most all druggists under
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, bitro-phosLhate quickly pro
duces a welcome transformation In tn
appearance; the increase In weight IT.
quently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carrie
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, sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not. owing to its
remarkable flesh-growing properties. be
used by anyone who does not desir
to put on flesh. II

Music's Great Opportunity.

Boston Transcript: The present Is
an excellent time for turning from the
complete subjugation to Geman music
masters which for a time marked our
concert programs. We no doubt have
had hard time in building up an Amer.
lean school of music. After an excellent
start with our native hymn writer's, in.
Guiding Lowell Mason and others, and
with the countless spontaneously or.
ganzed popular singing societiec of the
early half of the nineteenth century. we
turned our music over together to
foreign composers and virtuosi and the
idea gradually grew up that all Amer.
lean music was worthless, There has
now been a turn in the tide. We have

The following from The Oklahoman

That dozens and perhaps hundreds
OF Democrats In Carter and stephens

in opposing state question rs, is the
statement Of N. b. Freeland, Socialist
of Stephens county, in deposition
read yesterday to Judge Edward D. Old
field in the hearing on the socialist
fair election law" case.
Freeland asserts in his deposition that
one Sam Buck was given two drinks of
whisky and that he had two registra-
tion certificates and that he voted
twice. He states that whole blocks"
of registration certificates were given
to irresponsible voters at Writ. in Car

Attorneys for III. III. Sinclair, in depo-

Custer county, according to the con-
tentions of Sinclair, cast fifty more

STOPPED TOO SOON

.HEALDTON COUNCIL
ORDERS CLEANUP
OIL FIELD TOWN DADS ON REC
ORD AS OPPOSING AN
OPEN POLICY.

Healdton Herald: The town council
met Monday of this week in reg
ular session, with all members and
officers present, except Councilman
Smith, City Attorney Baird and City
Marshal Bates. Routine business was
transacted. number of bills allowed,
orders given for the preparing and in
PRODUCING of certain ordinances, street
repairs were discussed, the construction
of a cement sidewalk to enabel the chill
dren of the town to reach the high
school building dry shod was decided
upon. The o. N. NJ. & p railway COM
pany was ordered to open the crossing
on II street and make 1t passable.
Then came the real business of the
evening. Report has commonly had 1t
that Healdton was wide open with no
restraint thrown around the sale of in
toxicants, gambling, houses Of assigna-
ton, red light district, etc, and Mayor
Langston asked the attitude of the coun-
Gil with reference to these evils being
permitted to continue. He found that
the council. to a man were strictly op.
posed to this being an open town: that
the sentiment of the people demanded
the town be cleaned up and kept clean
and that the people of the town want
the work done by home people and not
have outsiders come in and do the work
for us.
The result of the discussion was action.
The city clerk was ordered to write the
city marshal nstructing him to enforce
the law or resign And that order doesn't
go to an occasional offender; it goes
straight to all who engage in any form
of law violation and particular attention
is to be paid to those who make law
violation n profession and thrive there.
