MURRAY M. DOAN DIES NOV. 1
AT TULSA, OKLAHOMA

Murray M Doan, "A, native OF
near Chesterhill, one Of country's
prominent oil men, died Sunday al
Tulsa, Okla, where he had resided
the past 25 years. He was famed as
an authority on petroleum proper.
ties, and was millionaire,
Son of the late Joseph and Letitia
Doan, he was born near Chesterhill
When quite young his father died
and he became the support of his
mother, doing odd jobs. He receiv-
ed limited amount of schooling
which he obtained at Big Woods
school. When young he married
Flora Carr, daughter of John w
Carr and wife of the Carr hill, Mar
ion township Later the family
moved to Chesterhill, where the de-
ceased was engaged in the livery
business; and he was also the star
route mail carrier from Chesterhill
to Stockport. A few years later he
moved to Marietta, where he also
engaged in the livery stable busi-
ness, which was not profitable.
Following the discovery of oil in
Oklahoma about 1905, he went to
that place as common laborer. He
was offered the task of setting
tanks, but at first he hesitated feel
ing that the job would be more than
he could handle. However, here
was the starting point of his career.
He did the work, and managed the
men under him SO we'll that it
greatly pleased his employers, and
he was put to work taking up oil
leases for oil companies, and soon
became very familiar with the oil
development in Texas and Okla
homa. He rose rapidly and soon
was in intimate business relations
with the Mellon oil interest in the
southwest. Later when the Havi-
land Oil company got into financial
difficulty, losing millions of dol
lars, Mr. Doan was called to the
head office in New York, and asked
to sit in counsel with a number of
millionaires of the country. To
make the story short he took charge
of the losing business and later
turned 1t back to the owners on a
very profitable basis. He also help
ed other oil concerns out of fnan-
cial difficulty. 1t is needless to
state that for such services he was
given handsome fees, which made
him independently wealthy. He was
financially interested in a number
of petroleum developments in Okla
homa at the time of his death: was
a director in the First National
bank of Tulsa, one of the largest
banks of the country, and had other
business interests.
The deceased who was a very un-
assuming man, was close friend of
Carl Patterson, of Chesterhill. He
loved to visit his old home town,
for which he has done much in the
matter of charity-a fact that he
never wanted xploited-neither
would he discuss the association
he had with the very wealthy and
great men of the country He was
a man of exemplary habits and took
an active interest in the civic af
fairs of his home city, especially as
related to morals and charity. He
was an especially good friend OF
Conductor Ed Reynolds
He is survived by his wife and
two daughters Bessie and Mabel. He
also took into his home the baby
daughter of his wife's sister who
died in childbirth, rearing it the
same as his own.
Funeral services were held Tues
day morning at Tulsa, Okla, with
interment there.

Don't Overea+

Generally speaking, the same
foods that are required for a we'll
balanced diet under ordinary cir
cumstances are the ones that will
best serve the needs of mother
and child during the months be-
fore a baby is born. There are,
however, certain notifications of
the diet that may well be taken
into consideration.
First, a word about the amount
of food consumed: 1t is not neces-
sary to eat more than is required
to satisfy the normal appetite, in
the belief that large quantities of
additional food are needed. Nu-
tritionists have demonstrated that
the energy requirements of the
expectant mother increase only
during the last three months of
CESSATION. Thus, it is not neces-
sary to increase the caloric in
take for the first few months,
though toward the end of the pc
Rod a gradual increase in caloric
intake may be made under the
direction of the physician. II is
advisable, however, to emphasize
that the character of the addition
al food consumed, as well as the
amount, should always be taken
into consideration.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-01-06
Adeuua+e Bulk or ceIIulose

It is most desirable that enough
bulky foods be included in the diet
to help maintain regular health
habits.
This requirement should be TAX
en- care of automatically if gener-
Gus amounts of fruits, vegetables
and whole grain cereals are con-
sumed. For in addition to their
minerals and vitamins, all these
foods likewise supply bulk which
aids in promoting regularity.
The wide use of fruits and vege-
tables will also help to build up
liberal alkaline reserve, which
helps to safeguard health during
the period of CESSATION.
If all these factors are taken
into consideration, the expectant
mother will not only help to pre-
serve her own health, but will take
constructive measures to give her
baby the blessings of a sound start
in life. Then as the healthy, con-
tented infant grows into the
healthy, happy, active toddler,
and later becomes the healthy,
well-adjusted school boy, the
mother can indeed be proud Of
her handiwork!

Speedy Creatures

Speed champions among ami
mails and insects are a muchsde-
bated topic among scientists. One,
for example, claims deer fly
tips 300 miles per hour; another
says it's impossible because at
that speed the insect would be in
visible. The cheetah, fastest thing
on four legs, can hit 10 miles per
hour. The homing pigeon record
is close to 80 miles an hour. Fast
est animal on two legs is the os-
trich.-Washington Post.

Questions Answered

Mrs. S. ID. Lit is true that
nuts furnish protein similar in
quantity to that found in cream
and top milk. Nutritionists do not
agree, however, that the protein
is the complete equal of milk pro-
tein in quality.
Miss E. D. M.-Yes, in most of
the foods containing vitamin G,
this vitamin is associated with vi
tamin B. White of egg is the only
food in which it is definitely known
to date that vitamin G occurs
without vitamin B.

the entire period the baby grows
tremendously, even though almost
half of the weight of the newborn
child is added during the final
two months before birth.
Recent investigations also indi-
cate that the prospective mother
is best able to maintain her nu-
tritional reserve if the amount of
protein in her diet is carefully
calculated. 1t is desirable like
wise that the protein be of the
highest quality.
Milk is even more important in
the diet of the expectant mother
than in that of other adults-not
only for its protein, but because
of its minerals and vitamins. AS
a rule, the expectant mother
should take quart of milk day,
whereas the usual diet for adults
calls for a pint of milk daily.

Some Common FalIacies

AS a result, some expectant
mothers overeat, frequently of the
wrong kinds of food; others do
not take enough of the foods that
are required to maintain top
health for the mother and build
the baby's body soundly; while
still another group believes such
antiquated notions as the idea that
a woman may eat whatever she
"craves" during this period.
In view Of the fact that recent
nutrition work has given us more
knowledge than ever before of how
and what the expectant mother
should eat, dietetic errors during
this period are particularly deplor-
able.

Buildinq Better Babies

Every expectant mother Should
be under the care of a physician,
and usually he gives specific adj
vice concerning the foods that
may be eaten and those that might
better be avoided. But every
woman will be a better mother
if she understands something of
the functions and fate of foods,
with particular reference to this
period.

Minerals and vi+amins

In addition to requiring protein
to help build tissue for her baby,
the expectant mother must have
a generous amount of minerals.

quired especially for the forma-
ton of the baby's bones and teeth.
Construction begins on all the
teeth before birth, and at birth, all

Besides providing the necessary
minerals to help construct bones
and teeth, it is also important to
include in the prospective moth
er's diet an adequate supply of
vitamins. Vitamin D is essential
if the calcium and phosphorus are
to be utilized properly, and it has
also been indicated that vitamins
A and c are likewise most impor-
tant at this time.

DON'T SIMMER THIS SUMMER

Keeping cool In summer has long
been a matter that battles the best
of US. While there is probably no
really satisfactory solution to the
problem other than air-conditioning,
there are a number of ways of being
less uncomfortable and looking at
least reasonably cool.
One of the first rules, Of course,
is to wear light weight clothes. Per
!sonally, have always found cottons
cooler in summer than silks, per-
haps because of the knowledge that
they can be washed. Tight-fitting
dresses and wide, snug belts should
be avoided in extremely hot wealth
er. You can look trim and chic
without having your summer dresses
as closely fitted as your winter ones.
Use Makeup Lightly
Summer makeup Is important
too. Use it sparingly during the
summer and choose it carefully.
Your skin tone is likely to change
after q few weeks of summer, SO
keep that in mind when applying
your powder. Select the cosmetics
that blend best with your coloring
and, then apply them lightly. Too
much lpstick will melt and run be-
low your lip-line. Too much powder
will become caked and a heavy dose
of rouge viii probably streak as the
perspiration makes your cheeks
damp.
