XXXI een ren na anon em em THE MOTHER'S PROBLEM MURPHY DEMANDS Of Raising Strong, Healthy Girls, Aserious problem which presents it- self to every mother with girls to raise, in these days. The exigencies of school life, the hurry and routine of every-day duties, the artificial environment of modern civilization, make it more difficult to raise strong, healthy girls than ever in the history of the world. Boys raise themselves, Give them room, give them liberty, and they will grow up healthy atleast, without much worrying. But the girls present a ser- fous problem, How many mothers there are who are worrying about their daughters. Ner- yous, puny girls, with poor, capricious appetites, bloodless, listless, & constant anxiety to the mother, How shall she solve her problem? To whom shall she turn for help? Each case is more or less a study by itself, and cannot be solved by any general rule, This is the way one mother solved the problem. Mrs, Schopfer, 5920 Prescott Ave., St. Louis, Mo., in a letter to Dr. Hartman, says: “My daughter Altice, four years of age, was a pury, sickly, ailing child since she was born. I was always doctoring her, When we com- menced to use Peruna she grew strong and well.” ‘Another mother, Mrs, Martha Moss, R. F. D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, says: “Our little eight-year-old girl had a bad cough, and was ina general run-down condition,” She had several doctors, who could give the child no re- lief, and the mother no encouragement, Finally, she got a bottle of Peruna and commenced giving it to the child, and it proved to be just what she needed, Whenshe commenced taking Peruna the child had to be carried. Now the mother says she is playing ground all the time. Her closing words were: ‘You have done a great deal for her. She is the only girl we have, and it meant lots to us to have her cured.” These are samples of many letters which Dr. Hartman is receiving, com- ing straight from the hearts of loving mothers, While the different schools of medicine are bickering and differing ax to theories and remedies, Peruna goes right steadily on giving permanent relief, After all, it is cures that the people want. Theories are of little accounh ., pa Montgomery, Mo., Fire Swept. Montgomery, Mo., May.—The bus- {ness portion of this city was visited by a disastrous fire, totally destroy- {ng Ferguson’s Opera House, Ca- son’s Pharmacy, Reed Bros.’ barber shop and W. L. Gupton’s real estate office, In whose safe were the deed records of Montgomery county, legalized by the Legislature after the burning of the court house at Dan- ville, several years ago.' This safe containing these abstract books, which are greatly valued, is now in the burning debris. Mr. Gupton is hopeful the safe has withstood the intense heat and that the records will be found undamaged. The dry goods house of C. J. Locke, grocery store of J. J. Martin, confec- tionery store owned by Eugene Holmes, and- offices-of J_M. Barker, Doctor Ji E. Muns and Doctor Tins- ley also were damaged. The heaviest loss falls on Arthur and Hugh Cason, who only carried $1,500 insurance and suffered adam- age of about $3,500. All the others were insured fairly well. Despite the feeling that has existed between Wellsville and this city, growing out of the protracted coun- ty seat war, the fire company ofthat placeand many private citizens rusb- ed to this city to fight the flames. _ Which do you think won? Not long ago two men, athletes, went into a contest to see which could stand erect and hold his arms stretched out full length at either side of his body for the longer time. One man had fed on steaks and chops, sausage, ham, roast beef, etc.; the other ate heartily, but con- fined himself to such foods as Quaker Oats, rice, macaroni, etc. Which do you think held out longer? The first man lasted twenty-two min- utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice chap concluded to stop after he had been a. it more than three hours. There’s more strength and economy in eating lots of Quaker Oats than most people imagine. Every family should eat plentifully of : Quaker Oats at least once every day; breakfast is the best time. It strengthens you for the day. The regular size package sells for 10c; the big family size package costs 25c; the same package with a piece of fine china in it in addition to the Quaker Oats, costs 30c.

Wagoner, Ok., May.—Confronted by the fact the First ward of the town of Wagoner had elected two negro councilmen and two school di- rectors of the same complexion, the retiring council felt that it was “up to” 1 to devise some remedy for the delicate situation; and {6 rose to the occasion, with the able assistance of the city attorney. At their last meeting, having tak- en to heart the ecriptural injunction relative to casting out an offending member, the aldrmen performed on the helpless town a simple but {m- portant surgical operation. They passed an ordinance diminishing the clty limits in such a manner as to leave a large portion of the negro ward out in the tall grass of the primeval prairie, including the rest to the Committee on Judiciary. RECEIVES MANY TELEGRAMS, He remained at his office answer- {ng letters and telegrams from per- sons in Missour!,- Kansas, Iowa and Arkansas, relative to the charges against the two judges. He sald that many lawyers have volunteered assistance. Ia several instances, he sald, law- years have written that they are making it a practice to decline to appear before Judge Philips because of the discourteous manner fn which they have been treated. When the message of Mr. Hager- man to the Attorney-General had been read in the House, Mr, Murphy explained the circumstances under which the resolution for the invest!- gation of the two judges was intro- duced by him. He sald also in this connection that he would not critie- fee the Committee on Rules, to which the resolution was referred, as he had doubts as to whether the com- mittee has authority to consider the matter. Evenif it did consider the resolution, he said, a point of order might le against the committee re port when {t is presented to the IMPEACHMENT OF MO, RATE JUDGES.

The councll’s action was authorized by a certain statute of 1907, conferring upon the elty council discretionary power in increasing and diminishing the city limits, i Shortly after the gavel of the Speaker fell he took the floor ona question of personal privilege to an- awer an attack made upon him by Frank Hagerman, & railroad attéor- ney, af Kansas City, who, In a public statement, denounced the Murphy resolution as ‘an outrageous tissue of misrepresentation by one who has no knowledge of the facts.” Murphy spoke calmly and deltber- ately. From the beginning ot his address, which took up nearly an hour’s time, until he finished, he was beset with difficulties. Points of order were interjected frequently, but Speaker Cannon each time ruled fa: yorably to Mr. Murphy. Sereno E. Payne, Republican House leader, was especially inefetent in the demand that Murphy was out of order in discussing the resolution and not the attack made upon him by Attorney Hagerman, and there- fore should be compelled to take his seat. The young Missour! member, how- ever, had familtarized himself with the rules of parliamentary procedure and was successful in spreading on the record of Congress in detail the charges agalnat the two jurists made Wm.

James Wright, of Spurlock, Ky., shows how to remain young. “I teel just like a 16-year-old boy,” he writes, “after taking ex bottles of Electric Bitters, For thirty years Kidney trouble made life a bur- den, but the first bottle of this won- derful medicine convinced me I had found the greates$ cure on earth.” They’re @ godsend to weak, sickly rundown or old people.

A PROTEST WITHOUT RESULT, The obvious result of this ordi- nance was to place these near offi clals out in the country, outside the ward from which they were elected, thereby rendering them Ineligible to serve this, at least being the conten- tion of the “lily whites.” Loud complaint ensued from the other faction, however. These parties asserted that 1t couldn’ be done, and that the das- tardly attempt to depose duly elect ed officals will certainly fall to the ground” Prophecies of trouble on the night of the joint meeting of the new und old bodies were freely made. The town was breathless, And the champions of a white man’s town stood pat. Monday night the old council met for the last time, to dispose of old business and to give place to thelr successors. The council chamber was crowded with an attentive bat order- ly audience, overfl wing to the outer doors. There was no demonstration What to Forget. It you would increase your happ!- ness and prolong your life, forget your nelghbor’s faults. Forget all the slander—you ever heard. For yet the temptations. Forzet the fault-finding, and only remember the good points which make you fond of them.

Representative Henry, of Texas, who arose to declare Mr. Murpby out of order, asked the Missourian point blank {f the resolution of {n- quiry contemplated the {mpeach- ment of Judges Philips and McPher- son. ASKS FOR IMPEACHMENT “The resolution I have introduced is for impeachment proceedings and follows precedents,” declared Mr. Murphy. Asaresult of the discussion with Mr. Henry, Mr. Murphy called upon R-presentative Rucker, of Missouri, once a Circult Judge in the State, to substantiate his (Murphy’s) state- ment made in the resolution and up- on the floor. “J want to say,” said Mr. Rucker, “that while I have had little personal knowledge of any of the matters set forth in this resolution or ite pream- ble, I do believe that current rumors austain every particle of it.” Representative Payne, of New York, here made a point of order that a momber addressing the chair on question of personal privilege cannot yield for debate, but both Mr. Murphy and Mr. Rucker main- tained they were not debating the subject. Mr. Rucker concluded by saying: “] think the statements are true even {fall the railroad attorneys of the State of Missouri say that they are not true. Judge Phillps ought to have been impeached twenty years ago; that is what I think about it.” Mr. Murphy does not believe he will be able to get action upon his resolution daring the special session of Congress. It is his intention to reintroduce the resolution at the be- ginning of the regular session in December and ask that it be referred acts of meanness, or worse still, malice, will only tend to make you morefamiliar with them.
