 LOT OF MOLASSES

Little Rock, Ark, August 19.-Deputy United States marshals today seized 7I9 cases of molasses which was distributed among local grocery houses, after the government had filed a suit in the federal court under the provisions of the pure food law. The suit is a bill of condem- nation and is styled the United States of America against 779 cases of molasses.
 It is alleged that the molasses was rep resented to have been made of pure sugar and corn syrup, but instead it contains glucose in quantities sufficient to detract from it's value as food product.
 The case is to be heard October 10.

0ubwOnen and Their Work
By Alice q. EccIes

"HE clubwoman has taken upon
herself the charity of the season
in a manner worthy of her cul-
ture and opportunities. She has
managed, with true feminine versa
tility, not only to enjoy the Christmas
season in her own playful hours. but
also to devote serious attention to her
less fortunate sisters. Almost every
club this year has been a factor in the
new civic charity. In addition TO the
composite work of the clubs many
clubwomen have accomplished a great
deal of personal charity. The intimate
charities which many clubwomen are
keeping secret will find no record save
I'm the hearts of those for whom Christ
mas festivities have been made possible.
The Sorosis club will entertain this
afternoon in an informal way between
the hours OF l and L. During the
afternoon the clubrooms will be open
for the members and their guests, but
there will be no progran-just sort
of pleasant stopping place for busy
shoppers or for those who have holi-
day plans to discuss with their friends.

ed officers Thursday afternoon and the
business session was followed by a
holiday jinks and carnival. The off,

wee, recording secretary; Mrs. c. J.

begin the new term with plans for it's

will have prominent place in the
years outlook since the club has begun
the planting of trees and shrubs to
beautify the city.
