DOCTORS SEEK SERUM
FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS

New York, April Germs of the
disease commonly known as "sleep-
ing sickness" have been transmitted
from man to animal and from one
animal to another, it was announced
here today by DR.. B. Sachs, chief Of
the medical staff of the Mount Sinai
Hospital, who added an effort was
now being made to find serur.
The neurologists and Psychologists
of the hospital, DR.. Sachs alleged,
have established the fact that, while
sleeping sickness in many cases fol-
low influenza, the two germs are dis
tinct. He declared great strides had
been made in determining the nature
of the germ and hopes were held that
before long it would be possible to
produce a serum that would effec-
lively combat the disease.

SUGAR AND SUGARS.

Chemists are familiar with a num-
Der of different sugars which form
an important group of organic COM
pounds. Among laymen the term
sugar" ordinarily refers to the re-
fined product of sugar cane or SUI
gar beets which is widely used for
sweetening. Chemists classify this
as sucrose. Another common sweet
is dextrose of glucose, prepared ordi-
narily by treating starch with acids.
Lately it has also been obtained by
treating sawdust with chemicals.
Glucose is altogether different from
sucrose and no-one as yet has sue
ceeded in converting one into the
other. Glucose, however, is a valua-
BILE, nutritive food material, niue
used in the preparation of table 81
rups and candies.

G. 0. P. PLANS FOR
SPECIAL SESSION
Tariff, Revenue Revision
And Farm Relief To
Get Hand.

Washington, ID. c., March O.
Thoroughly impressed with the neces-
sity of meeting the great revenue
needs of the country as soon as pos
sible, because of the desperate con-
dition in which the finances have been
left by the last Administration, the
Republican leaders of the House and
Senate have decided upon a legisla-
tive program for the special session
of Congress which will convene April
the IL.
Lacking in that dictatorial control
which characterized the Wilson re-
lations with a rubber stamp Congress
during six years of his administra-
ton, the Republican leaders have
freely expressed their views. The
new President has made no attempt
to tell the Congress what it should
do. Nither have the leaders of the
House attempted to lay down the law
to the Senate or vice versa. Confer
ences have been held in the most open
way and decision has been reached
after full discussion and without the
slightest feeling. Where the Demo-
Gratis simply waited for orders from
the White House and then filled them
the Republican leaders have coun-
selled with the President and the re-
suit is action which both he and they
regard as best for the nation.
These are the legislative steps to
be taken:
Passage of the emergency tariff
act to save the farming communities
OF the country from immediate danger
Of disastrous foreign competition,
with the knowledge that in this case
there will be no veto on the part of
Democratic President believing in
free trade.
Enactment of anti-dumping bill to
prevent foreign competitors from
dumping their goods upon American
markets at a price low enough to
destroy American production and yet
not sufficiently low to benefit the
consumer and from doing it prior to
the enactment OF a general tariff
law.
Passage of a measure providing
for import duties based upon Ameri-
can and not foreign valuation.
Permanent tariff revision.
Permanent revision of the revenue
laws so as to make the burden of
government easier upon the general
taxpayer of the country.

reminiscent mood, recalled how 49,
year-old Warren Harding gathered
items for the Marion Monitor a Demo-
cratic paper, now extinct; how the
Democratic publisher fired" him for
wearing a Blaine campaign hat and
how, the next day, he borrowed mon
ey with which to make first payment
on the purchase of the Marion Star,
of which he is still publisher. His
youth, Uncle Charley said, caused
some doubt to be expressed that he
ever would make a success of the
Marion Star, but he said that young
Harding had every confidence in him
self and that the second week he
owned the paper he increasd it from
four small pags to eight larger pages
and a week later he added four more
pages. He kept on adding pages until
today it is a twenty-psge paper, tho
printed in a town of scarcely 10000
population. Some of the stock of
the Marion Star Is now owned by
faithful employees and a surplus of
the earnings, above a small per cent
paid on the investment of stockhold-
ers, is distributed equally among all
employees who have been with the pa
per for any length of time.
There are big problems awaiting
solution, but no matter what comes
within the next four years there is
one man who will be never failing in
his confidence that President Harding
has the heart and the brain to work
them out for the best interests of the
country and its people. That man is
Uncle Charley.

Europe which menaces us. nor could
a combination of all the powers OF
Europe imperil the United States
either upon the land or upon the sea.
freely admit that England's navy
is stronger than ours, but even IL
Great Britain were our enemy and
engaged in war against us, her navy,
powerful as it is, would be impotent
against our coasts. 1t would be i'm
possible for Great Britain to success
fully operate against our coasts or
to land troops upon our shores. OF
course. it is obvious that Japan is less
able to attack our coasts than is
Great Britain.

Tulsa need not worry about the prop
erty they own" declared the attorney
general. THE Supreme Court has
been admitting petitions by any one
praying Intervention in the Red Riv-
er case. Any man who thought he
had a little land was allowed to file
case The Red River case would
not be affected, taking il for granted
the suit by the Cherokee nation is
valid.
Suit Called PreposterOus.
Tulsa, Okla, April 9.-Filing of
suit in the Supreme Court in behalf
of the Cherokee nation to recover
fourteen million acres of land was
characterized as preposterous today
by W. Tate Brady, general chairman
of the executive committee of the
Cherokee nation.
1.-The leaders of the Cherokees
know nothing of such a claim" said
Brady.
1.-The land granted to the Chero-
KEGS under the Van Buren, patent lies
to the east and north of the city of
Tulsa, the southern boundary cutting
thru part of the present city. They
never had any claim whatever to the
Red River lands or to territory in the
Burkburnett district. But whatever
the fact, Taylor is not authorized to
act on behalf of the Cherokee ma
ton"

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition OF the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is

LAY CLAIMS
TO BIG OIL FIELDS
Title to Millions OF Acres In Texas
And Oklahoma Involved In
Litigation.

Washington, April 9.-Claims to
100000 acres of land in Texas
and Oklahoma, including the cities OF
Tulsa and Oklahoma City and practi-
cally the entire Burkburnett oil field,
was filed in the Supreme Court today
in behalf OF the Cherokee Indian ma
ton, supported by a government pat
ent issued by President Van Buren,
and certified as authentic by the In
terror Department.
The claim was in the form of pc
tition for permission to intervene in
the Red River oil lands case, an orig
inal suit between Texas and Oklaho-
ma involving jurisdiction over the
valuable oil fields situated along the
common boundary.
The motion was filed by John NJ.
Taylor, a grand nephew of Gen.
Zachary Taylor as attorney for the
Cherokee nation. He said the patent
was discovered accidentally among
the papers of deceased chief of the
tribe.
Not Ordered by Tribe.
The filing of claim in the United
States Supreme Court at Washington
today by Attorney John NJ. Taylor on
behalf of the Cherokee Indian nation
was done without authority of the
tribe, Levi Gritts, of Muskogee, an
nounced today. Gritts' appointment
as chief of the tribe is now pending
at Washington.
Gritts declared that the tribe had
not employed Taylor, who is Chero-
kee. Gritts, recommended for the
as chief last January to
ucceed the late Chief Rogers, of Scia-
took, asserted that before the Chero-
KEGS could institute claim for the
it would be necessary to con-
fer this right on them thru a legis-
lative act. A bill for this purpose
passed the House, but was lost in the
Senate at the last session of Con-
gress.
Cherokees recently met here and
decided to have the bill reintroduced.
Included in the property of the In
dams claim the government illegal
ly took from them is the right-of-way

tween Coffeeville, Kansas and FIT.

Indians Status Questioned.

nation can lay claim to more than
100000 acres of land in Oklaho-
ma and Texas as was done in a petit

Official or legal status as a nation,
was expressed today by S. p. Free
ling, attorney general of Oklahoma.
He said, however, it might be pos
iible for individual descendants Of
members Of the nation to support the
petition.
The land in question, which in
ludes the city of Tulsa and Oklahoma
City and practically the entire Burk-
burnett oil field, has been patented
by the government since the Van
Bureau patent, according to Mr..
Freeling. He declined, however, to
interpret the law to show whether
he Cherokee patent does or does
not rank the later issue.
