The Woman's Club of San An
tonic has taken a praiseworthy
stand in demanding the enforce
zzent of the pure food laws and
recommending that all grocers who
do not keep their places clean and
comply conscientiously with the
pure food laws be ostracised. The
women of the land can do more to
force dealers to comply with the
saw than all of the officers of the
saw, who in most cases seem to
zhink that laws governing such
Uaings as the grocery trade and the
liquor traffic, as well as other laws
intended to maintain health, de-
cency and morality were made to
be winked at.

Mercedes, Texas, Nov. 21.-An
alarm of fire reused the guests of
the Hotel Mercedes at an early
hour Saturday morning, and caus-
ed them to make a hasty and not
always quite dignifed exit from
the building. However, all were
clothed-more or 1ess-and some
were in their right minds. The FIRE
caught from the kitchen range and
was soon extinguished, with no
damage to the inmates and but lit
tie to the hotel.

THEATRICAL EVENT

A travelling theatrical company
swooped down upon US Tuesday
evening, giving a tent performance
of The Hidden Hand. It was a
great occasion and Mercedes socie-
ty turned out in full force, only
those who were i'll or who antici-
pated a long, hard winter, remain
ing at home. Theatre parties were
the order of the evening and prom
inent citizens were seen struggling
bravely for points of vantage within
the enclosure. J. M. Johnston, ST.,
took his son, Jimmie, and wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. Scobey had Murphy,
Mrs. Silver took Mary Ellen and
Mr.. and Mrs. Cutting took Martin.
Mr.. George Freeman took two
wives, his own and another man s,
and Mr.. Price did not take any.
The costumes worn by the ladies
were in good taste but not so strik-
ing as those of Saturday morning
at the fire. The same might be said
of the gentlemen's attire. The
principals in the caste created in
terest, while the subordinates held
their own.
