THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
10 Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
re used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine Is sterilized
and as q final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to Its virtue.

BACKACHE .
RHEUMATISM ?
RUNDOWN 2

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen
hands or feet There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as. the
new Prescription of DR.. Pierce's, can
uric" is bound to give immediate results
as it is many times more potent than
ithia, in ridding the impoverished blood
of its poisons by way of the kidneys. 1t
can be obtained at almost any drug
store, by simply asking for DR.. Pierce's
Anuric for kidneys or backache. 1t will
overcome such conditions as rheumatism,
dropsical swellings, cold extremities,
scalding and burning urine and sleepless-
ness due to constant arising from bed at
night.
If you wish to give 'Anuric' a trial
send DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo,
N. Y, ten cents for a trial package, also
write for free confidential medical
advice.

SENDS OUT FEELER
Allen Asks an Expression on
s Grand S9th Review.
He Sends Telegram to Cover
nOrs of Other States.

Governor Allen today asked execu-
tives of other states for expressions as
to the proposed grand review of the
Eighty ninth division at Camp Fun
ston. He sent kilograms to governors
of all states represented in the organ
ization of the division.
Recently the governor wrote to Sec
retary Baker for permission to hold
the grand review of the division at
the Kansas army camp. Governor
Allen today asked expressions from
Governor Frederick D. Gardner. Mis-
souri,; Samuel r. McKelvie Nebraska /;
Oliver H. Shoup, Colorado; Peter Nor
beck, South Dakota; Thomas E. Camp
bell, Ariz.; and o. o. Larrazola. New
Mexico. Following is the telegram
which Governor Allen sent to govern
ors of the six states:
Have written Secretary Baker, sug-
gesting review Of Eighty ninth division
at Camp Funston where it will be de-
modified, providing arrangements can
be made without holding men in serv-
ice undue length of time. Such a re-
view would offer an opportunity for
many thousands of our people to see
their soldiers in military formation
and would be historical event in this
section which will probably never have
similar opportunity. Would be glad
if you will wire me your opinion of
the suggestion and if favorable COM
municate with secretary of war.

Oklahoma City Sees Greatest
Carnival Ever in Middle West.
DalIas-tO- Observation-Disclosures
Planes From Other Fields.
EDDIE RICKENBACHER DROPS IN
Noted Ace and Others Literally
Fill Air While Crowds Gasp.
State Journal Correspondent in
Plane Headed for Topeka.

Oklahoma City. May 16.-Oklahoma
City today is witnessing the greatest
air carnival ever held in the middle
west. The arrival of the squadron of
six giant De Havilands from Dallas
Yesterday was the signal for the gath
ering of the air clans from Post field,
Fort Sill They came two squadrons
of them. all Curtiss machines painted
in all the colors of the rainbow, and
from Enid came bunch of allied
flyers and down from the north, a
lone speck in the sky, Eddie Ricken-
bacher, noted ace, dropped in.
The air seemed literally filled with
planes as the birdmen strove to outdo
each other in freakish stunts. They
climbed and they fell, they looped and
they dived and the $4,000 people that
watched them received the greatest
thrill of their lives. Lieut.. Ben Adams
and Charles A. Sloan. correspondent
of the State Journal, left at noon for
Wichita to give an exhibition at a
great peace celebration held in the
Kansas town today. They will make
preliminary preparations also for the
rest of the squadron, which will fol-
low them Saturday.
The Dallas-to- Boston squadron will
be in Topeka May 81.

TOpekans Have Been Stealing
From the City.
Contractors Take Water From
Fire Hydrants.
EVEN GO BEHIND THE METERS
Fire Department Crippled by
Use of Odd Wrenches.
Startling Charges Made by
Commissioner StanfieId.

City Commissioner Stanfield said
today that many Topekans were tap
ping the city mains for water. This
practice has been true particularly in
the case of fire hydrants.
Persons living near the hydrants
have tapped them for large quanti-
ties of water. Tanks have been filled
with water and hauled away from the
hydrants in wagons. Some contrac-
tors have used immense quantities of
water in their operations for which
the city did not receive one cent.
When permission is given by the
water department to tap these hy-
drants meters are put on SO that a
record is kept of the amount of water
used. 1t has been found that some
persons have abused this privilege
and accommodation to the extent of
tampering with the meter in such a
way that very little if any water is
recorded as used.
From the immense quantities of
water pumped which would seem to
have disappeared in some miraculous
way without any money ever being
received to pay the expense of pump
ing it, Commissioner Stanfield is in
clined to believe that there are cases
| in which mains have been tapped
back of meters and water used with
out its being recorded
The pumping records show how
much water has been pumped. The
| book records of money receipts of the
department should indicate whether
or not the city has received the prop
| er amount of money for the water
| pumped. Stanfield believes the city
! has been losing a vast amount of reve-
nue..
Cripple Fire Department.
Besides the revenue lost in tapping
| the hydrants the city loses in repairs
on DANA ged hydrants. The hydrants
| turn with a special wrench Not pos
sessing the right variety of wrench
| persons turn the hydrants with mon
! key wrenches and tear the taps. If
fire companies had a call and found
| it necessary to use that hydrant they
| might be unable to use it. This might
result in a delay that would prove
| costly to the owner of the burning
structure. Stanfield says the expense
| of keeping up these DANA ged hydrants
| is high and it is not often known that
| they are out of repair until it is found
out by accident usually when the hy-
| drant is needed the most. It is inn
| possible to keep a force of men out
| looking for these hydrants every day
residences for leaks
Commissioner Stanfield has declared
| his intention of making serious
charges against persons caught vio-
| lating the regulations of ordinances
covering these particulars. He says
that any one caught violating the pro-
visions of the law will be- prosecuted
to the fullest extent

approved by both sides in the case,
and the trial of Henry Ford's libel
suit for one million dollars against the
Chicago Tribune was on at the morn
ing session today.
After four days of vigorous ques-
tioning of Jurors, the counsel on both
sides late yesterday eXpectedly gave
their approval to the twelve men that
will decide the case. By the ac-
ceptance of Frederick P. Goff of Shell
by, and John Rosso, Mount Clemens,
the jury has the necessary dozen.
1t was indicated yesterday that both
sides will assume similar tactics in
presenting their arguments when
counsel for Ford told how their case
will be fought. Attorney Murphy said
they will attempt to prove to the jury
that the Tribune in its editorial was
working as a tool of Germany's in
that it was urging war with Mexico
in 1916.
Thus the two sides will fight the
case along the same lines as the Trib-
me attorneys previously stated. They
will attempt to show that the sense
in which they used the word "anarch-
ist'' in referring to Ford was not in
any way libelOuS
