fTEARBT’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA. QA.. SUNDAY, MAY 30, 1915
BUNIONS CAUSE OF SUICIDE.
AKRON, OHIO, May 29.—Because he
ha« been suffering from bunions which
prevented him from working, Robert
Bittaker cut his throat with a razor and
died a few minutes afterward.
Oilton, Oklahoma, Has Several
Thousand People, but Uncle
Sam Is Slow.
Miss Grace Bell, Who Rescued
Fellow Student From Drown
ing, Won’t Be Heroine.
It Means an Afternoon Head
ache and an Evening
of Misery.
OILTON, OKLA, May 29.—The
citizens of Oilton, now numbering
several thousand, are going through
an interesting portion of the town’s
career—waiting for the United States
Government to locate a postolflce.
They are following a patient, “watch
ful-waiting'” policy, and are cheerful,
while two carriers, employed by the
business men here, bring tfie mails
out from Jennings twice daily. It is
delivered at one of the stores, and
here each man sorts it out, looking
for his own mall.
In the meantime several candidates
for the postmastership have entered
the race and the town is going
through its firpt political experience.
Oilton Is In Congressman “Alfalfa
Bill” Murray’s district, and the ap
pointment of a postmaster will be in
his hands.
Strongly Republican.
The town Is, in fact, only one and
one-half miies east of Congressman
Joe Thompson’s district, and only
eight miles south of Congressman
Jim Davenport’s district. It is one
of the strong Republican sections of
Creek County. L. P. (lowland and
several others are applicants for the
appointment.
Th* name of Oilton has been ap-
provecLby the Postoffice Department
and the application to have the office
installed has been signed by the citi
zens and forwarded to Postmaster
General Burleson. It is expected that
the appointment of the first postmas
ter will be made by the President
soon.
The efforts now being put forth to
secure a postoffice at Oilton ecalls
interesting campaigns at other oil
field towns In this locality, princi
pally Cushing and Drumright. Cush
ing had a division in its ranksTfor a
number of years, caused by a new
town being started by tne Santa Fe
crowd following the building of that
road into Cuffhing. while the old town
was over on the Katy road.
iBtter Fight Ensued.
The old town had the postofflee,
but one night a crowd from •the new
town put the postoffioe building on
wheels, and when the city awoke next
morning the building was in the new
town. A bitter fight ensued. This
has now died down and the people of
the city are working together.
While Drumright waited for some
time to get a postoffice, it had the
distinction later of having two post-
offices and two postmasters for sev
eral months. This was caused by the
postmaster at Tiger, a nearby town,
moving his office to Drumright.
About me same time the depart
ment allowed the application of the
Drumright crowd for an office. The
postmaster was named and for some
time afterward the town boasted of
two offices. Later the Tiger was dis
continued.
MADISON, WIS., May 29.—Grace
Bell, senior at the University of Wis
consin, who has been awarded a Car
negie medal for bravery, refuses to be
a heroine.
In telling of the rescue offAllce Hud
son from drowning in Lake Winne
bago in the summer of 1912, Miss Bell
declares that she didn't deserve any
medal for swimming out after a
drowning girl, who. Incidentally, was
much larger than Miss Bell, to shore.
“Why,” she says, “if I thought there
was any danger, I probably wouldn't
have done what I did. I didn’t think,
that is all. I don't see why I should
get any praise for not thinking.”
Be that as it may, the students of
the university are proud of the senior
girl who three years ago, when she
was 18, participated in one of the most
daring rescues in the history of the
State.
Miss Bell is a daughter of B. Bell, o?
Hammond. Ind. Her family has a cot
tage on Winnebago T-ake. In June.
1912, Miss Bell finished her freshman
year and arranged a house party at
the Bell Summer home. Miss Hud
son, a fallow student, at Madison, was
a member of the house party.
The morning of June 12 Miss Beil
and Miss Hudson rose early and went
to a pier near th’e cottage. Miss Bell,
who is an expert swimmer, dove from
the pier and swam out to the break
water, 100 yards away. On the way,
in front of the breakwater, Miss Bell
met Miss Hudson, who was about half
way out. The* water was cold and
Miss Bell advised Miss Hudson not to
continue the swim. Miss Bell swam
to shore. As she reached the shore
she heard a cry. and, turning, saw Miss
Hudson’s hands above the water.
Then the hands disappeared.
Miss Bell re-entered the water and
swam to the spot where she had seen
the hands. Her feet touched the body
and she was clasped in the grasp of
the drowning girl. With only one hand
free, the other fastened to her side
by the grip of Miss Hudson, the girl
swam toward shore. She swam blind
ly and remembers no details of the
trip, which, according to spectators
on the pier, was partly beneath the
surface of the water. She reached
the pier and the two girls, the rescued
unconscious and the rescuer exhaust
ed, where hauled to safety.
There is no necessity for it. The
morning droop means the afternoon
headache, the evening of misery. It
means Inefficiency in the office or in
the store—that you are worth less to
yourself or your employer.
You know what causes that droop.
If you don’t, you ought to. It is in
judicious eating or drinking or both; or
it may come from irregularity of habit
or lack of exercise. Any one of these
may cause constipation and create toxic
poisons which attack and injure the
vital organs.
Stop it now. You can do it and pre
vent It in future. When you get up in
the morning take Jacobs' Liver Halt.
Just a small dose of it—one or two
teaspoonfuls—in a generous glass of
water. You will find it a bubbling,
sparkling, pleasant drink, end you can
go to work with a quick step and a
keen, active mind; whereas.
If you take calomel, it will take you
a day to get over It There is a day
lost in addition to the undermining ef
fect of this dangerous and powerful
drug which soon must have serious and
deleterious effect upon the system.
Jacobs’ Liver Salt will do what most
needs to be done, and in the most gentle
and delightful way—no pain or griping.
