DEVASTATED BY FIRE
$100,000 Damage in Washington Coin*
ty, Okla.—Oil Waste on River
Eurning for Two Miles—Many
Were Fighting Flames.
Bartlesville, Ok., Feb. 3.—A prairi <
Kre which ha3 done over $10(i,0o0
damages across Washington county.
The oil waste on the fancy river is
burning for two miles. Oil companies
have 200 men fighting the tlames.
The fire started in the oil pools
near Young's lake, in the northern
part of the state, and fanned by a
northwest wind, swept derricks,
tanks and rigs before it. X'o loss of
life has been reported. A number of
of farmers living in the district were
compelled to build backfiree, place
their belongings on the burned tracts,
and flee.
It was hoped the fire would be
checked when It reached Caney river,
but oil waste on the water carried the
fire across to the opposite bank. A
call was sent to Bartlesville for help
and automobiles carried men to fight
the flnmes. Persons living north of
Dewey were greatly alarmed by the
fire, but no serious damage is report
ed there. Among the oil companies
whose property was damaged are the
Prarie Oil and Gas company, the
Central Oil and Gas company and the
Caney Valley Oil company.
Bartlesville, Ok., Feb. 3.—The prai
rie fire which started nine miles'north
ef here, is now under control. Twelve
t'11 derricks, an equal number of tanks,
shout two thousand barrels of oil, ,a
■ridge and several small houses were
I'-c-stroyed. The total loss is about
' 25,000.
A year’s drough! made the flames
vi ry difficult to check. Fires are burn
ing in parts of the Osage reservation
west of Bartlesville and at places east,
but all are detached and threaten no
danger.

No case of Rheumatism was ever

blood remains charged with ferment

ease will continue. The pains and
aches of Rheumatism are simply su
perficial effects of the impurities in
the circnlation, and sometimes may
be temporarily relieved by the appli
cation of plasters, liniments, hot
cloths, etc. But the person who trifles
with this dangerous disease by de
pending on local treatment alone, is
certain to pay for the mistake with
constant suffering later on. S. S. S.

I PHYSICIAN'S DIAGNOSIS OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease
which Becomes Fatal through
Neglect and which May Be
Readily Cured by Prompt A:
tention.
More than two-thirds tf the annum
feath rate, physicians ch.itn, is direct’y
racealilc to kidney disorders.
Interested by this remarkable asser
ion and desiring to acquire a better un
derstanding of the origin of the disease
. prominent physician was recently in
‘.erviewed as to the symptoms of such
troubles.
“To what do you attribute the great
destructiveness of kidney disease?’’ was
isked.
“The hold which the disease gains in
.he body before the victim becomes aware
of his true condition, and the rapidity
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs.”
“Would not the proverbial ‘otfnce of
prevention’ check the progress of the
disease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms for some trifling ailment
in the stomach or bowels; therefore they
do nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced.”
“What is the origin of kidney trouble?”
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
,owed by torpid liver and a constipated
habit.”
“What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in mine.”
ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
“In what way is the heart affected from
kidney trouble?”
“In all cases the heart is disturbed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially after
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease.”
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
"First, to get rid of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
uy stimulating the bladder and bowels
*o that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
he liver and stomach toned up and the
iigestion improved.”
Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that
tnswers these requirements complete! v.
It is not only a system tonic and regu
ator, but its healing and restorative in- j
luence will build up the weakened kid- |
teys and urge them to a bet tec perform- j
ince of their duties. It gives strength
md tone to the liver, stomach and heart
ind promotes harmony of action through
>ut the body.
At. W. Burr, village Mack smith and respected
itizcu of Starks, 1,1., says: "I was troubled with '
:id«ey and liver disorder for 18 years. I was in 1
ontlmial misery until I began taking Prickly I
ish Bittera which has entirely cured me. aud I i
m now a strong, healthy and hearty man. I I
tve it to my wife aud four children and they are
* the best of health, too. I feel that Prickly Ash
litters is the best remedy on earth and that j
verybody should keep a bottle at home.”
