SALE FORBIDDEN
IN HUN PROVINCE
Reproductions Of Lusitlnia Medals
Are Forbidden in Rhine Province
-Werc Issued After Sinking of
Vessel in 1918

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Sept. 19.-Sale OF a
reproduction of the Lusitania medal,
which for time was being peddled
in the occupied areas, has been for
hidden in the Rhine province by
the oberpresident. Hundreds OF the
medals were bought by American
| soldiers as souvenirs. Writing to Col.
|. l.. Hunt, officer in charge of civil
affairs in the American area, regard
ing the sale of the medal by Ger
mans the oberpresident says:
Il wish to inform you that such
a medal has, of course, never been
coined or caused to be coined by any
German government. The medal is
simply the outcome of misguided
thrift and greediness on the part of
certain private dealers who. in
most unwarrantable manner, pub
lished this tasteless reproduction and
have hawked it about, without con-
sidering for one moment. that by so
doing, they, stimulate the anlmosity
against Germany"
The story generally current with
the sale of this issue of the medals
was that they were made in Munich
by the manufacturer of the original
which was issued in 1915 after the
sinking of the Lusitania and from
the same dies on which the original
issue was cast. These dies, according
to the story. were ordered destroyed
by the German government after but
twenty-eight medals had been struck
off but were surreptitiously saved
by Karl Guertz, who is reported to
have been the. designer. The German
government has several times denied
that any Lusitania medal was ever
issued with consent of any govern
mental officials.

Sanitary science has or late made

necessary to attend to internal santa

man body as it is to the drains of the
house.
Those Of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when We arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can. instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,

alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases. waste and acid
ity and gives one splendid appetite
for breakfast. While you are enjoying
hot water and limestone phosphate on
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of internal san
itation.-Adv.

Romance.
(By Dick Collins.)

L. w. Harrington, oil operator, is
man of nerve and pluck.
Harrington is one of those dyna-
mic humans who never acknowledge
defeat. Setbacks and reversals only
stimulate him to hustle all the
harder
Harrington believes in the grand
law Of averages and keeps plugging
until things come his way. no mat
ter how black the sky may be or how
long it takes.
A dry hole or a buster doesn't
feaze Harrington. He drilled three
oilless holes in Eastland county be-
fore he hit winner in the Desdemo-
ma pool.
Tarkington's record is three gush-
ers out Of six ventures. He drilled
three nonproducers in the town of
Ranger at cost of more than $780,
! 600, before he struck oil in BESIDE
mona.
HARRINGTON believes in drilling
right under the gun. That is why he
started operations in Ranger, stu
ated in the heart of the Ranger pro-
duction.
All three of the olless holes which
harrington drilled in the town of
Ranger are 5000 feet deep. One of
them is 3,490 feet deep.
The first one. Barber No. 1, cost
more than $4,000
HARRINGTON hit the rich oil sands
in the Dixie well at 2.681 feet. This
well came in for an initial production
of 1000 barrels and has settled down
to steadv flow of 1000 barrels.
The Dixie Oil and Refining COM
pany paid dividend of so per cent
on total capitalization of 100000
one month ago.
An offer of $2.25O. 900 has just been
turned down bv the HARRINGTON inter-
ests for the Dixie we'll, which is said
to be one of the best in the BESIDE
mona field
Discussing the ups and down of
the oil business, Harrington said:
