American women are right behind the
American troops in the trenches. Women
nurses are now installed in hospitals miles
in the rear of the actual fighting line.
Many of our American women are I'M

take care Of t.eir own at home and for
this purpose no better book was ever
printed than the Medical Advisef---a book
containing | ,OOS pages, and bound in cloth,
with chapters on First Aid, Bandaging
and care of Fractures, Taking care OF the
Sick, Physiology, Hygiene, Sex Problems,
Mother and Babe, which can be had at
most drug stores, or send SO cents to the

who are nervous or dizzy at times, should
take that reliable, temperance, herbal
tonic DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

THE DEADLIEST GAS.

TT DEVELOPS that al the time the armistce was
l signed, the United States had just begun quantity
production OF a poison gas - times deadly as the
famous German mustard gas plant at WI
oughby, Ohio. was ready to ont twenty tons OF
il 4 day. This "methyl,' the new gas is called, Is
said to be so powerful that the German gas masks
would have been protection against it whatever.
It would have meant instantaneous death TO every
createure breathing it.
Within few weeks this dreadful weapon would
have been in use by the American armies. Ii other
means had failed, it would have 4 quick victory
by anhilating the enemy. The Germans would have
had to flee INCREASINGLY, the Niles would have
advanced to the Rhine area swept bare by
log OF death. 1t would have been six months before
the enemy could have prepared to retalate bY
that time there would have been enemy
1t would have been the logical and just result OF
the Introduction OF poison gas by the Germans along
with their other war barbartes. They would have
been destroyed by the hideous means they chose
for the destruction OF their unsuspectng foes
We may rejoice, however, from motives OF hu-
manity that this potent poison never came into use
that it was possible to end the war without it, And
as lust peace appears, the hope may be expressed
that it will never be used at all. Certainly so terrible
a means OF slaughter should never be lett IN private
hands or even entrusted to the exclusive possession
OF any nation
Its use by nation against another should De
sernly forbidden by international law. If the manu-
facture OF "methyl" for military purposes IS to be
permitted at all it should be only for official use by
a League OF Nations. to subdue disturbers OF the
worlds peace

CARTER COUNTY'S GRAND JURY.

THE much -taked-of grand jury for Carter county
i is at last established fact and today should
see this very important body well organized and
busily engaged in its work of inqurng into financial
and criminal matters of Ardmore and Carter county.
No doubt there many things that need to be gone
this time, and it is not probable that there will
be any lack OF material which to work, judging
from the few disclosures that have been made from
time 10 time.
That this investigation will not be farce every
citizen may assured ior in this the state is
taking active interest two OF the ablest represen-
tatives OF the attorney generals office having been
sent here to conduct the examinations similar in
terest taken in the Investigations in Muskogee
Seminole and Grady counties, with the result that at
least two of these counties have contributed to the
regular boarers at the state pcnentiary and the Oh
fices have been vacated in the other

any office holders in Ardmore Carter county Will
go to the penentiary that they guilty OF
illegal acts, but in the event that such is found to be

development OF a community more than inetticient or
dishonest administration of public affairs, and Carte.
county cannot afford to be thus handicapped.

Norman, Okla, Dec. l0-It is es-

spite the fact that i large number
OF ). A. 7. {. men will not be able
to return to school after the demob-
lllzation of the students army train
ing corps, the enrolment will not
decrease more than 10 per cent. This
small decrease will be due to the
fact that large number of former
students who are in the service and
in training camps, will return to
school just as soon as they are dis
missed from active duty with the
government.
DR.. Stratton d. Brooks, president
of the university, is receiving many
letters asking about entering school.
An effort is being made to get stu
dents to re-enter the university just
as soon as possible after being dis
charged from the service.
Arrangements are being made on
the part OF the correspondence study

sion of the university to assist men,

able to return after the end OF the
present quarter, to continue theiN

WILL BOB WILLIAMS LAND JUDGESHIP?

TT HAS now been several months since Judge Ralph
| +. Campbell renquished his place on the federal
bench-to be real accurate, it was on August /
and yet has been named to take the
place though no end of speculation to his successor
has been indulged in by knowing ones.
"Our Bob" was honored with the unanimous en-
dorsement of the Oklahoma delegation in congress
and it was supposed that the promptness and unani-
nifty of this action would insure the governor place
which he openly admitted that he greatly coveted
But something interfered and one has yet been
named and the lieutenant governor will hardly be
able TO fill the governors chair for even brie spell
if something is not done instaner
Judge Campbell made most excellent record as
Judge and there were some misgivings when the gov
ernor was recommended the charge that he was
"temperamentally unified being the most frequent
one; but il was thought that the political pres
sure for his appointment could be overcome.
But evidently something has gone wrong with the
Williams candidacy and something should be done TO
fill the vacancy once.

RURAL DELIVERY FOR CARTER COUNTY

WHY BAcN last summer petition was circulated 1
w for the establishment OF the first rural dellv-
cry route in Carter county through Mulkey,
Baum and Bcrwyn, over the best highway in the
whole county. The postmaster was instructed to act
as Inspector and he promptly made the recommended
on complying with all the requests for data Every
thing looked so well that the people living along the
anticipated that the route would be in full oper
alton by August |.
But right here the red tape OF the oldtime before
the-war Washington got in its 'ork. The whole mat
was rerecrred inspector and he at once con
reved the brilliant idea OF establishing four deliveries
lere at one time And that lar as the matter
ever got with the result that Carter county still main
tainS the unenvabe position OF being the only county
in the southern part OF the state without one or more
routes despite the fact that it ranks third in wealth
and It's agricultural importance is growing steadily.
The shelving OF this proposed rural route is an
abomnabe act and should be resented most strenu-
ousy by the people of this county, for no one viii
ever get any service until least route is estab
shed. Rural routes great developers, and every
thing has been done in other sections to encourage

SLOW TRAINS IN ARKANSAS.

patch from Arkansas yesterday which suggests
that there other slow things in that state than the
familiar slow train OF the joke-book. We fed dis
posed give this very good story to an apprecative
world since friend the telegraph editor refused
to print it.
In Arkansas it appears. there is town--or per-
haps just a place-called Browns Near Browns is
another place-or perhaps town. since it has post
offce-called Proctor. 1t appears further that Sun
day night two invaded the Proctor posofce and
were shot and killed by clerk who slept in a store
adjoining Our friend the telegraph editor says he
was struggling all day Monday to get the names OF
the men who were killed in such sensational STYLE
also the name Of the clerk who killed them. with
no war going on said the telegraph editor, this
looked like mighty good story
The upshot was that late in the afternoon dis
patch came fccbly over the wire from Browns, Ark.
Here is a verbatim copy OF the message;
Proctor which is about mile west OF here,
could not be reached by telephone today and
details could be learned
~ don't know" remarked our friend the telegraph
editor, but to me that il Id had telephone
that wouldn't carry my voice one mile Id have tried
to get up enough leg-energy hike il to Proctor
myself"
