by the United Stales treasury under the
direction of Pirenor (irncral MeAdoci.
Some of this money will he spent for
improvements to railroad property in
Oklahoma ('ity hut no representative of
the four roads stationed here k'ws for
what betterments this money is to lt
Ipenl.
(inly tlie administrative offices and
Iheir officials of the roads know what
the budget inrlndes, so far as Oklahoma
City is colli erncd. The headquarters of
tlie Santa I e and Kork Island are at

erty in Oklahoma, hut whatever their
surveys showed ami whatever report

It is certain that these engineers

general an I si mpy information, further
data is lacking.

lieved this loan of money to the rail
roads here might mean the erection of
I new union station, after airing their
views of the nndesirahility of a union
station for Oklahoma City, said they
did not believe a union station or a sta

business here, would he built during the
tipir war is on in Kurope.

Gains 17 Pounds on Tanlac and
Suffering Ends After
Seven Years.
"Mv wife was determined that I
should try Tanlac, so one d.lv while I
was away from home she bought a bot-
tie and simply made me begin taking it
and the results are. I have actually
Rained seventeen pounds and f re bel
ter than I have in seven years." This
Is what C. C. Moore of 155 Tstella
', Street. Fl I'ao. Texas, says alter usinu
' few bottles of the "Master Medicine."
"I had suffered from indigestion and
stnmai h trouble until mv health was so
shattered I couldn't enjoy living at all.
In fact I hardly knew what it was to
have a well dav in seven years until
i Tanlac straightened me out. I had got
ten to where I couldn't eat anything or
' even drink water without suffering
from it. I lived for months nn nothing
but milk and other liquids and these
' also caused me all sorts nf trouble,
i "I often got to weak and dizry I
would fall on the streets iinronsrioons
! and when I came to myself I would be
at home in bed. I was very nervous all
; the time, could scarcely sleep and had
awful headache No one knows how
I I did suffer jnd although I spent lots of
; money and tried everything I knew of,
nothing seemed to reach my case or do
me any good.
; "I kept falling off in weight and the
day I started on Tanlac I weighed onlv
f one hundred and nineteen pounds. I
commenced to feel better in few days
! after I begsn tnkinif Tanlac and have
irradiully picked up rver since. I now
y weigh one hundred and thirty-sis
pounds have gained seventeen pounds
; w weight and what I have Rained- in
j health and strength is more than I can
I tell. I fan now eat what I want, as
t much of ft si I please with no bad
F feelings afterward. My headaches are
I hmken tip. I sleep like a log and limply
feel like a different msn."

' tssfjrisn snd desists everywhere
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is jut plain
innlsiiicd cocoauut oil, for this is pine
and entirely greaselcss. It's very cheap,
tnd beats the most expensive soaps or
anythinu else all to pieces. You ran
get this at anv drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a tt-aspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abundance
of i it It. creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Hesides. it loo-ens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt,
and dandruff. (Adv.)
