MRS. JELKS GUEST OF
 HONOR AT RECEPTION
BY ANNIE KENDRIck WALKER.

Mrs William Dorsey Jelks, the wife of Governor Jelks. was the guest of honor at a reception yesterday afternoon at which her sister. Mrs. Edward H. ca- baniss, entertained, the receiving hours being from to o'clock.
 The occasion was both beautiful and brilliant, and assembled a large contin- gent of Birmingham's most fashionable women.
 Mrs. Cabaniss' handsome house in Highland avenue was still further beau tified by the flowers and palms and smi- lax, while innumerable tapers in silver candelabra, with pink silken shades, dec orated the mantels and cabinets
 Tn the large colonial hall, with it's mas sive mahogany pillars, the decorations included palms and pink roses, and in the drawing room, with it's white wood work, quantities of La France roses and white hyacinths were used on the mantel. Above the lace draperies at the windows were delicate sprays of smilax, and this was entwined about the stairway. In the dining room pink prevailed in the color scheme. the table having for its center piece La France roses, the lace covers burning beneath pink shades, and the mantels and buffets were decorated with cut glass vases holding La France roses The pink color note, lending itself so ideally to decoration, was relieved by the touch of smilax, caught here and there, while the roses used in the decorations | formed a pink background for the beau | tiful gowns worn by the women in the | receiving party. Back of the palms an orchestra played during the receiving | hours.
 Mrs. Cabaniss wore a smart gown of black chiffon embroidered in pale blue. It was made over white satin and richly | appliqued with lace, a wide panel of white lace ornamenting the front of the skirt, which was made with the fashion able clinging effect. The high bodice was finished with a collar embroidered in tur- quoise and caught at intervals with mar row black velvet ribbon edged with gold lace. The belt was fastened with a jew eled buckle. Mrs. Cabaniss' flowers were American Beauties.
 Mrs. Jelks was charming figure in an exquisite gown of white satin, the skirt of which was fashioned with wide tucks and appliqued with lace. The bodice was lace trimmed the lace being caught with 1 jewels, and Mrs. Jelks, her arms full of pink roses, was pronounced the most beautiful woman in the brilliant assem- | blaze.
 | There was a large receiving party, the women remaining after the reception to meet Governor Jelks. a number of men also calling last evening upon the Cover nor and Mrs. Jelks.
 Among the receiving party were Mrs. J. J. Banks Mrs. Jack Johnson, Mrs. G. Mortimer Williams, Mrs. Leslie Fulen- wider, Mrs. John C. Henley. Mrs. David Roberts. Mrs. Alexander Troy London, Mrs. Frank Y. Anderson, Mrs. Allan w. Haskell, Mrs. John w. Tomlinson, Mrs. l John London, Mrs. John Caldwell, Mrs Charles o. Locke, Mrs. T. G. Bush, Mrs

GAS AND TROUBLE. Comes From White Bread,

While 1t is true that we build up the body from food, 1t Is also true that dif- ferent kinds of food have different effects on the body and produce different re- suits.
 For instance, it is absolutely impossi- bie to live on white dread alone, for it contains almost nothing but starch an excess of white bread produces gas and trouble in the intestines, while. at the same time. the other clements re- quired by the body for building up brain and nerve centers, as we'll as muscular tissue, have been left out of the white bread, and we see from experience the one trying to live on white bread alone gradually fails in mental and nervous power as well as loss in muscle.
 Such a diet could not bekept up long without fatal results. A lady in Jack sonville. Fla, was crippled by an acci- dent two years ago. Being without the power of-exercise, an old stomach trouble that was hers for years became worse, and 1t was a serious question regarding food that she could digest
 A physician put her on Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food with some remarkable results. She says now that, not only is she able to do big days work, because of the strength of her brain and nerves but that she has finally thrown away her crutches because the muscles of her limbs have gradually grown stronger since she began the use of Grape Nuts, and now she is practically we'll and can go about without trouble. notwithstand- ing the fact that it was said she would never be able to walk again. So much for eating the right kind of food instead of remainiyg an invalid and cripple be- cause of the lack of knowledge of the kind of food to use to bring one back to health Name given on application to Postum Cereal O..

When the Autos Pass.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
 ''No grandfather we must not cross the highway just yet And why not child?'
 Because, grandfather the safety gates have been raised at the turn a half-mile away, and the red ball is up on the signal station on the hill"
 Yes. I see What does it mean?
 Ut means that an automobile is due and coming.''
 But can't we get across before 1t gets here?"
 Not on your life. grandfather The lest man who tried 1t was thrown clear across wonder meadow and into green house. Look! There 1t goes!"
 ''I saw nothing but whirl vl yellow dust
 That was it. Come now, No, we must wait again. The yellow flag is up in the other direction. That means a race. There they go! See them?'
 T saw nothing but more dust
 They were too quick for you. That was bunch of millionaires. They get dread fully reckless. Only yesterday we pick ed up what was left of one of them in our front yard. and there wasn't enough of him to fill a peck measure"
 Cant we cross now?"
 Dear TO! All the yellow flags are up, and all the signal men are signaling. They are coming from both ways. If we have real good luck we may see a collision. We get a commission at our house every time we report a collision to the coroner"
 But how will we get across?'
 "I guess we will have to walk up to the covered bridge at the corner of the next block"

New York and the papers were for warded there. Officers there ascertained that MT. Morgan had left for the South and Deputy Sheriff George Courson of this city was sent to Atlanta to inter- cept him in case he passed through that city. ME. Courson located him at his home in Hogansville. Ga, and made the arrest there Thursday afternoon, bring ing the prisoner here yesterday His bond is fixed at $6O00 and several busi- ness men of his home city last night sent telegrams offering assistance. He will probably make the required bail today. Mir Morgan is said to be one of the most prominent men in Hogansvule.
 WeIl-known Business Men.
 George A. Blinn, Jr., is one of the best known bushes men in Birmingham, and is said to have lost considerable money by his connection with the Debenture Company. It is said when he saw the trouble the company was about to en- counter he went to every man he had recommended the bonds to and personally made them good. The charge against him of embedding check for $25,0Oo grows out of the fact that he paid that amount to John M. Swanson of the Southern De- benture Company for his capital stock so as to transfer it to the Continental Se- curety Redemption Company in the con- solidation MT. Blinn Is said to have bor- rowed the s25,0O0 and placed it to the credit of his company in the Peoples Saw ings Bank and Trust Company. He then checked it out to Swanson in the name of treasurer for the Continental Securely Redemption Company. This action is said to have caused the bondholders to charge him and Morgan with embezzlement.
 The friends of MT. Blinn say the trans action was perfectly legitimate. and they have no fears of his Seing cleared when the case is tried.
 MT. Dodd is well known business man and his arrest grows out of his former connection with the Birmingham Deben- ture Company, one of the component companies which were absorbed by the Continental Company. It is said his capi- tai stock in the Birmingham company was bought by MT. Morgan, as president of the Continental Company for $12OOO or S13000. The embezzlement charges spring from the transfer of this money.
 Attorneys have been employed by all the defendants and the prosecutors and some interesting developments are ex- pected when the cases are called in Jus tice Benners court. The trial of Mir Blinn will be heard December 21, and it is possible that all of the defendants will be given a hearing the same day.
 How Business Was Conducted.
 The debenture business reached it's zenith in the South about two years ago, and there were thousands of bondhold- CTS throughout Alabama and adjoining States. The plan of the company was to issue bonds which were to be paid for periodically and at maturity they were to be paid with about IS per cent interest At the end of every month all of the moneyt- derived from the sale of these

bonds was divided into three funds known as the redemption fund, the expense fund and the investment fund. The redemp- ton fund is said to have been fixed at 50 per cent. of the gross amount received and with this number of the oldest bonds were matured. The profit derived by the company was from the lapses, a bondholder forfeiting his claim if he failed to make his payments within a certain time.
 In other words, it was operated on sub stantially the same basis as insurance companies, except the time of maturity was shorter and the interest larger pro- vided bondholder kept up his payments. The bonds were usually issued for sm all amounts.
