CLEAN CHRISTMAS FRUIT CAKE

Customers do not get the small
est portion of their peck of dirt in
our Christmas Cake. 1t is as clean
as it is possible to make it, and it is
just as good as it is clean, only the
very best material being used in its
manufacture. All fruit is washed
by our own process. Particular
care is given to the baking, The
choicest butter is used in making
Christmas Cake, just as it is in our
pastry. Orders have already been
received from many Of the best
families in Texarkana. Many OF
them have made their own Christ
mas Cake heretofore, but sample
has convinced them that baking, as
we do, hundreds Of pounds we can
bake better cake than they can,
and sell it to them for less money
than they can possibly make it for.
1t sells at 20 cents per pound and is
iced with almond icing.

Paradise For Gamblers.

Hot Springs, Nov. 3O.-Sheriff
Houpt issued an order tonight re-
opening the gambling houses IN the
city. They were closed by the
sheriff Saturday night as the result
of controversy between himself
and the managers of the Turf Ex-
change, whose case for operating a
poolroom was decided adversely to
the sheriff, 1t is generally believed
the matter will be settled without
further resort to the courts.

Healthy, happy children make
better men and women of us all. A
little care and a little planning be-

than anything that can be done af-
ter. On the mothers health and
strength depend the life and future
of the children. A weak and sickly
woman cannot bear strong and
healthy children. Most of the weak
