Fifty million packages of "Force" Food had been sold before it occurred to some one to circulate a rumor that it was drugged to promote appetite. The absurdity of the rumor is apparent when it is considered that there is not a single case on record of these fifty mill- Ion packages having injured a single individual. Aside from this, the government inspection of foods, and the health department of evory city, would have promptly put a stop to the sale of any food, sold in such quantities, which contained any un- wholesome ingredient whatever.

That the "Force" Company are fully aware of the insidious nature of such a rumor, and suspect an interested ongln, is shown by their offer of $5,000 reward for the conviction of its initiators or cir- culators. Their further offer of $5,000 more for proof that a single package of the fifty millions sold contained any injurious substance whatever (being made solely from Whole AVheat and Barley, seasoned with table salt) shows how empty such rumors? can be. and how energetically the "Force" Co. follow up an attempt upon their market. The magnitude of the injustice done la Indicated by the fact that it has cost the "Force" Company over $50,000 to refute the rumor in the newspapers of the United States and Canada, exclusive of such injury as may have been tempora rily done to the sale of their product.

OIL ON COWSKIN Petroleum Discovered oji Farm of W. H. Culter. RUNS FROM CREEK BANK Expert Upon Examination Pronounces It the Real Thing. After living on a farm for years, Wr.

H. Culter, who owns a farm on the Cowskin, has discovered that the slimy substance which has oozed from the banks of streams on his land and gathered on the surface of pools, is petroleum, and while in the city yesterday, stated that he was making arrangements to drill for oil Immediately. A chemical analysis has been made of the substance by an expert, who pronounced it petroleum of a good quality. Mr. Culter's farm is in Waco township, six miles south of Friends University, and has several streams running through it.

For a long time persons living near there have noticed a thick, oily substance which seeped out through the bank of one particular stream with the water from springs. Many thought the substance was oil. but no steps were taken to find out what it really was until a few days ago, when -Mr. Culter sent to the Hum-bolt oil fields for a man to come and examine the substance and the formation of the ground surrounding the place where it was discovered. Upon examination Mr.

Craw, the expert from Humbolt, stated that the dark, oily substance was petroleum and that the quality was exceptionally good. He states that the formation of the ground very much resembles that of well known oil fields, and that the indications for oil are better than they were at Hum-bolt lefore the first drill was started. Mr. Culter is very much encouraged by the report of Craw, and says that he will start a drill immediately, and if there is oil on his farm he wil find it. COUNTY SELLS LOTS.

Burton Car Works Addition Is Disposed of. The county commissioners yesterday disposed of all the lots in the Burton Car Works addition, on a compromise of $4.40 per lot. These lots were sold at fabulous prices during the boom days to a trust company. The Burton car works were erected, making property In that part of the city especially valuable, and large residences covered the addition, which comprises about 300 lots. After the price of city property had fallen, the trust company was unable to dispose of the property, but sold the houses for whatever they would bring to avoid paying taxes oil vacant property.

The houses were moved off and the county finally took- the lots for unpaid taxes. They have held the lots ever since, and the price at which they are disposed of Is less than the amount of taxes due.
