WALKING Stick and Canes.

At one time the general use Of canes
or walking sticks was forbidden In
Rome by imperial edict, except to per-
sons Of patrlclan rank. thus making It
a privilege which came to be popular
among the nobility and eventually q
distinction. The women Of that time
carried them also, their richly and ar
tistically decorated canes serving az q
rod for punishment Of their slaves.
The cane appeared in England as
the badge Of aristocracy In about the
fifth century, but after serving this
purpose for some time came into the
hands Of the humber classes and was
dropped by those Of higher social
standing. It was re-establlshed in its
true form by the pilgrims and soldiers
returning from the Holy Land during
the Crusades. and soon came Into pop-

Naturized Liver Tablets are natures
remedy.
Why is It that Naturized Liver Tab
lets are proving such a big seller?
The answer is simple, and it is just
this:
Everyone who tries them is so well
pleased with the result that they tell
their friends about them. Thousands
of people are saying: They are the
finest purgative l ever used; would
not be without them in my home;
They are the only thing / have ever
tried that actually stirs my liver, etc.
1t is a fact that there are very few
real liver medicines sold, and Natur-
lied Liver Tablets are filling u long
wished for desire.
They remove the bile and cold bet
ter than calomel or pills without grip
ing, making you sick, salivating or
leaving you constipated.
The first step in the treatment of
most any ailment is to give good
purgative, and it is astonishing what
wonderful things a good purgative
will do towards preventing the devel-
opment of serious sickness, in fact if
every one who needs a purgative
would take it in time, there would be
less deaths caused from carelessness.

The White Eagle Mill, one of the
old landmarks of the Sunnyside field,
is being dismantled and the material
sold to the different companies of that
section. A set of rolls, jig, whatever
is needed can be bought as long as
they last and several companies
which are building mills there are
taking advantage of the opportunity.
The White Eagle was built twelve
years ago and operated for some
time, then shut down for several years
and again operated, this time on tail
ings, but of late it has been found un-
profitable to run and the owners have
decided to close it out.
The Royal Mining Company, at a
meeting of its officers and creditors
Wednesday, appointed John C. Cox,
of Miami, Trustee, and the appoint
ment was approved by the refree in
bankruptcy, who attended the meet
ing.
The Royal is believed to be a rich
property but has not prospered prob
ably on account of inharmony. 1t is
located in the same section of the field
as the Grace Walker, the Miami Won
der and the Jefferson, about a mile
southeast of Picher.
The newly appointed trustee does
not know as yet whether the mine
will be operated for the stockholders
or sold to satisfy the creditors but
will investigate matters at once to
learn the real conditions. i

RICH IRISH BROGUE
is A SIGN OF CULTURE
Dr.. Walsh Declares Gaelic Was Spok-
en- in the Garden of Eden.

Irish was the speech of the Garden
of Eden and is the best language to
make love in, according to DIR. James
]. Walsh, of New York, medical writ
er and philologist.
Doctor Walsh addressed the Irish
Fellowship Club, Chicago, at the Hotel
Sherman. His topic was "The Irish
Language"
English people who make fun of
Irish brogue are laughing at their
own ancestors" he asserted, for the
English spoken in Ireland today is the
English of Shakespeare's time.
"Shakespeare's players pronounced
the word deceive 'desave,' as you
may learn if you read his works.
They called door 'dure,' as native
Irish do now That is the way it was
meant to be pronounced.
ITO speak in rich Irish brogue
is not a sign of Ignorance; it is a
sign of true culture, provided you
speak dramatically and in good taste.
II hope the thousands of young men
of Irish parentage who are in the
army encampments will not allow
those great melting pots to melt their
love for the old brogue out of them.
Rather. should they strive to inOcu-
late their fellow soldiers with a love
for the brogue, so that the sturdy Eng
lish of Queen EliZabeth's time may
continue on earth"
