MRS. COFFMAN
ILL SEVEN YEARS
Saved from an Operation by Ljdia
L Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound
SSdell, HI? "1 was a nervous wreck.
I was suffering from a pain in my left
aide, which was al
most unbearable, and
I could not even let
the bed clothing rest
on my body, at night.
I had been sick for
seven years, but not
so bad until the last
eighteenmonths,and
had become so run
down that I cared
for nobody, and
would rather have
died than live. I
couldn't do my work without help, and
the doctors told me thst an operation
was all there was left I would not
consent to that, so my husband brought
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and begged me
to take it. I have taken fourteen bot
tles of it and I feel ten years younger.
Life is full of hope. I do all my house
work and had a large garden this year.
I never will be witnout the Vegetable
Compound in the house, and when my
two little girls reach womanhood I in
tend to teach them to take it. I am
never too busy to tell some suffering
Bister of my help, and you can use my
name and letter to spread the good
news of Lydia E. Pinkham's medicines. "

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever ? topped to' reason why ;
it is that so many products that are ex- j
tensively advertised, all at once drop out |
of sight and are soon forgotten? The j
reason is plain?the article did not fulfill j
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
ana never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large sr
?tie/'
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri
naiy troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumdMsm.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

The solemn man in the ?moker said
never a word for many a mile. Final
ly, however, he turned to his seat mate
and remarked :
"There is much unrest in the world
Just now, my friend; much unrest."
"You're right."
"I hope you are not unmindful of
the fact that we each have a duty. We
must combat this unrest."
"I'm doing my best," said the other
man.

Sensational Doings in Governor
Walton's War on the Klan
in Oklahoma.
STATE UNDER IMRTIIl LAW
Legislature Plant to Hold Extra Set
?Ion ? Spain Now Ruled by Dicta
tor and Directorate? Baldwin and
Poincare. Confer? Berkeley, Cal.,
It Swept by Flamet.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
KLAHOMA has become the cen
" ter of the war against the Ku
Kliur Klan. Developments there last
week were sensational, and the fu
ture is looked to not without some
apprehension. Enraged by more of
the floggings which are reasonably sup
posed to be committed or incited by
the Klan, Gov., J. C. Walton announced
that a state of insurrection and rebel
lion against the laws and constituted
authorities of the state existed, and
therefore he proclaimed martial law
for the entire state and ordered abso
lute martial law for Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma county and Creek county.
Units of the National Guard were
called out and a military commission
set up and began the examination and
trial of cfvilians ? a thing that has not
been seen in the United States for
many years.
An order was Issued prohibiting "all
public meetings, publications, litera
ture and verbal expressions tending to
create opposition to the enforcement
of martial law in Oklahoma county,"
and consequently the newspapers there
have been cautious. However, the pub
lishers of several of the largest dailies
In the state have signed and many
of the papers have printed an address
to the people of the United States de
claring that "the supreme issue In Ok
lahoma today is constitutional govern
ment or despotism," and asserting that
"Governor Walton, by his acts, has
attempted to nullify rights guaranteed
under our Constitution, and to halt
the lawful processes of republican gov
ernment."
In another address the editors urged
the members of the legislature to meet
immediately, and this is what a large
number of the legislators have been
planning to do. Walton says he will
not permit it, and is quoted as declar
ing that if the lawmakers assemble he
will build a stockade and put them in
It. Notwithstanding the threat, al
most a majority of the members of the
lower house have signed and Issued
a call for a special session for the
purpose . of investigating charges
against the governor of "repeated! in
juries, usurpations and blunders, evi
dencing the direct object of establish
ing an absolute tyranny and despotism
over the commonwealth."
Walton has strong political support,
made up of Farmer-Laborltes, radical
Democrats and a kind of Nonpartisan
league, but some of these, especially
the Laborites, do not take kindly to
martial law. The "invisible empire'*
men are not openly combating the gov
ernor's method? but are working un
der cover with great energy, and It Is
believed that in a measure they can
control a special session of the legis
lature. Their fiery crosses continued
to blaze over certain buildings in Ok
lahoma City until Thursday, when
Walton ordered them struck down.
Walton, if he reads the news from
Europe, may seek to emujate Benito
Mussolini and Gen. Primo Rivera, but
If so he will have to learn that there
Is a vast difference between the con
ditions and peoples in Italv and Spain
and those in the United States No
dictatorships are necessary or desired
in any of our commonwealths.
SO FAR, the coup d'etat of the mil-.
Itary aristocracy of Spain Is alto
gether successful. King Alfonso, yield
ing perforce to the revolutionists, cre
ated a national directorate and made
Primo Rivera Its president with virtu
ally dictatorial powers. The posi
tions of premier and cabinet ministers
were sunnrasiuid. Tha now srnventxnent
| announced its five principal objectives
as follows :
First, to exterminate syndicalism
and other communist doctrines;
Second, to crush the separatist move
ment in Catalonia and Basque prov
inces ;
Third, to prosecute a victorious cam
paign in the Spanish zone in Morocco;
Fourth, to establish an honest, effi
cient governm'ent ;
Fifth, to make guilty politicians as
well as officers suffer for the big Me
lilla defeat !
Rivera called on the country to form
a "Gran Somaten" or militia pat
terned closely after the Italian Fas
cist!, to number 450,000. With this or
ganization, responsible to him alone,
he proposes to protect the "estab
lished lnter&ts" of Spain. The In
ternational Communists who have been
flourishing in Barcelona and other
Spanish ^cities since the Russian agents
began active work there in 1918, have
realized that the game is up for the
present at least, and have been fleeing
from the country. Many of their lead
ers were caught and locked up last
week. In pursuance of the plan for
a vigorous campaign against the Moor
ish rebels the Spanish fleet on Wednes
day began to bombard the hills above
Alhucemfcs bay with gas shells, to
clear the way for the landing of a
large expeditionary force. General
Aizpuru, the new commander in chief
in Morocco, started to organize an of
fensive on the western flank.
The Spaniards feel it necessary to
demonstrate their ability to govern
the Morocco zone at once, because in
a few days the Tangier conference In
London will open, when Spain will de
mand permission to rule the Tangier
zone. The United States is interested
in that conference and has notified
Great Britain, France and Spain that
It will not accept any settlement of
the future control of Tangier which
hinders the establishment there of
American marine coaling and oiling
bases. An interesting story from
Madrid says the old Spanish govern
ment was conducting negotiations with
England by which Gibraltar was to be
traded by Great Britain for the valu
able harbors of Tangier, Ceuta and
Melilla and that news of this reached
the military leaders of Spain and has
tened the revolt.
TO COMPLETE the record of the
dictators, It may be said that Pre
mier Mussolini of Italy is "sitting
pretty" In his disputes and negotia
tions with Greece, Jugo-Slavia and and
the League of Nations. The Greek
government has paid the "moral rep
arations" for the Janina murders by
apologizing for them, saluting the flags
of Italy, France and England, and at
tending a solemn requiem mass in
the Catholic cathedral of Athens fors
the slain Italian officers. Diplomatic
negotiations with the Serbs concern
ing Fiume are said to be progressing
amicably, but the government of that
so-called independent state resigned
the other day and Mussolini promptly
appointed General Giardini, third in
in command of the Italian army, as
military governor. He gave assurance
that this did not affect the status of
Flume, but it served to increase the
fear th|rt he meant to annex that city.
In the sessions of the League of Na
tions there were further harsh criti
cisms of the league's inaction in the
matter of the occupation of Corfu, es
pecially by Hjalmar Branting. In re
ply the Italian delegate, Signor Salan
dra, defended the seizure of the is
land and expressed the hope that the
dispute between Italy and Greece, now
on the way to final settlement, would
not be reopened. He then delivered
another severe blow to the authority
of the league, declaring that the cov
enant was not supreme International
law, but only part of fundamental
legislation for regulating international
conduct.
BULGARIAN Irregulars nnd Mace
donian irredentists are bringing
on a crisis between Jugo-Slavia and
Bulgaria. They have been gathering
along the frontier, and Belgrade has i
warned Sofia that if they invade
Serbian territory war will result. Bul
garia has sought the diplomatic Inter
vention of the allied powers.

POOR Japan, struggling toward re
covery, was afflicted again. A ty
phoon struck the eastern coast and a
tremendous rainfall ' brought floods
that drowned thousands of the refu
gees of the earthquake. The first for
eign check to be received In Japan
for the relief of the quake victims was
handed to Premier Yamlamoto by Am
bassador Woods. It was for &L.000,
000 and came from the American
people through the Red Cross. The
American army and navy representa
tives there are exceedingly active in
the relief work, and at home the Red
Cross fund is growing dally, being well
on the way to $10,000,000.
CHEERFUL news comes from Wash
ington In a treasury statement
During the first ten weeks of the new
fiscal year, ending September 15, the
government reduced Its usual expenses
$42,000,000 and Increased its income
$29,000,000,
The increased revenue included
climbs of $12,000,000 in customs and
$28,000,000 in Income taxes. Miscel
laneous internal, .revenue increases
showed $239,000,000 or a decline of
about $5,00Q,000. The total income
tax collection figure was given as
$124,000,000.
Interest on the public debt was only
$38,000,000, a reduction of $12,000,000.

als f amounting to $18,900,000, as
against $21,000,000 last year.
NITED STATES Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes, in a letter to
Congressman Hill of Marylaq^, says
it is the intention of the government
"to interfere as little as possible" with ,
the right of the farmer to make cider, j
He continues: "Compared with the
abuses arising from the manufacture
of distilled spirits and fermented ;
liquors, violations of the national pro- j
hibition act arising from the practices
of iarmers and of manufacturers of
cider and fruit juices are practically
inconsequential."
Great Britain has replied to Secre
tary Hughes' proposal for a reciprocal
agreement on ship liquor and liquor
smuggling, including v extension of the
search limit to twelve miles, and the
reply is described In Washington as
being "not sympathetic" to the plan.
However, the British government will
submit the question to the Imperial
conference which meets next month
in London.
WHEN the new dall of the Irish
Free State met in Dublin, every
one of the 109 members who had
taken the oath of allegiance was pres
ent, and they unanimously re-elected
William Cosgrave president of the
state. . Forty-four Republican mem
bers were absent,, eighteen of them
being in prison. An appeal by a
Farmer member that these rebels be
permitted, to meet and decide their
policy was Indignantly rejected' by
Cosgrave and others, who declared
there would be no compromise with
rebellion.
MORE than fifty blocks of the best
residence section of Berkeley,
Cal., were swept by flames early to
the week, and between 12,000 and
15,000 persons were made homeless.
The property loss was probably about
$5,000,000. The city is the site of the
University of California, and one of
the most attractive in the West Three
other smaller California towns also
were burned, all the conflagrations
originating in forest flrfes.
COOLIDGES FOND
OF PLAIN FOOD
i ?
"Mac," Their Boston Waiter,
Talks About Their Simple ,
Gastronomic Tastes.
! Boston, Ma**.? Much ha* been writ
ten lately about the simple tastes and
unassuming ways of Calvin Coolidge,
now President of the United State*,
and of Mrs. Coolidge, and those who
are well acquainted with them say
this simplicity, permeates their life.
When Coolidge was governor of Mas
sachusetts he and Mrs. Coolidge made
their home at the Adams house, and
their regular waiter there, "Mac," who
is known to many hundreds of Bos
tonians, told a writer for the Boston
Sunday Advertiser a lot about their |
gastronomical tastes. Said he .
"Their breakfast order was always
the same? Two Special No. l*s, grape- J
fruit for Mrs. Coolidge and orange
for me.' v j
"Special No. 1 never varied. It
consisted of two small pots of coffee, j
graham muffins and fruit.
"Mr. Coolidge would give the order
and call foe a clean glass and a whole j
orange. He would squeeze the orange
himself into the glass, and drink the
Juice.
8llent at Meals.
"Mrs. Coolidge always had half a
grapefruit.
"They were generally alone at break- j
fast, as their boys were at school and t
only vklted them in vacation time. ;
Once, though, when the boys were
there, they wanted ham and eggs for
breakfast Mrs. Coolidge ordered it
for them, but when the governor found
It out, he frowned on giving the kids
meat for breakfast.
"They were seldom at my table for
lunch, as they were both often gone
all day. But they would be back for
dinner, unless they were dining out.
"Then Mrs. Coolidge used to order
a chop ? the way you do," interpolated
"Mac," who has an uncanny memory
for the likes and dislikes of every one
of bis patrons.
"Sometimes she would have a steak.
But Mr. Coolidge always made his din
| ner on cereal ? usually grape nuts and
tea or milk.
"He was just as quiet at their family
meals as he is in public life. Hardly
ever said a word. Breakfast over, he
would go away in silence.
,tThey seldom had quests, except Mr.
and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns, who were
with them frequently.
"Sometimes there would be one or
two others with them at dinner. On
those occasions Mrs. Coolidge would _
try every way in the world to get him
to Join in the conversation. Nothing
doing. He would look and listen, but
hardly ever opened his mouth ? except
for his grape nuts. Once in a while he
would shoot a little smile? like this?"
and for a fleeting instant "Mac" was
the living image of the President.
Lapsing back to his natural expres
sion, which is intense' but amiable,
?Mac" continued:
"He is a hard man to get at, if you
know what I mean. But when you
once do get , at him, you find he has
one of the best hearts In the world.
All Liked Mrs. Coolidge.
"But for kindness and a charming
manner combined, Mrs. Coolidge was 1
the one. Every waiter In the dining
room liked to serve her. She was al
ways considerate, always appreciative 1
for anything done for her. If Mrs.
Coolidge once knew you, she knew you
everywhere, no matter where she hap
pened to meet you. In the hotel cor
ridor, or in the street, she would al
ways bow. She's a fine woman. '
"I used to look at those boys, and 1
their good manners, and wonder how
she did it. But then, bringing up 1
six. (Six little McKeoughs, remem- 1
ber.)
'1 said to one of my "boys the other
day, 'Look at young Calvin Coolidge.
His father's President of the United
States, and he's looking for farm work
ut $3.50 a day. I suppose If I . was
president you'd be wanting to take it ,
easy in the White House/ "
A Healthy Cllmcte.
"You must go to the healthiest
neighborhood you can find," said the
eminent specialist to Mr. Forsythe.
"And when you get there you must
stay there for six months and have
a thoroughly good rest.'*
In due course Mr. Forsythe arrived
at the seaside town he had selected
and Inquired of one of the old lnhab- 1
Itants if It was a really healthy neigh
borhood.
"Well, you see me,M said the old j
man, who was a fine specimen of
health and vigor, "when I came here
I couldn't walk across the room and
I hadn't the strength to utter a single
word. I had scarcely a hair on my
head and I had to be lifted on and
off. the bed."
"Ah, you give me hope," said the
invalid. "How long have you been
here?"
"I was born here," was the reply.
Name of Crabappie.
The name crabappie appears to be
of Scandinavian origin, and akin to
the Swedish "krabbaple," says Nature
Magazine. Skeat offers the explana
tion that the Swedish word Is related
to the name "krabba," as applied to
the sea creature. He adds that appll
cation of the word to the friit was
perhaps "from some notion of pinch
ing, in allusion to the extreme sour
ness of the taste" of the crabappie.
In this he finds resemblance to the
pinching* action of the claws of the
crustacean.
