The first lady in Texas, where 1t is
worth something to be lady, so gal
liant and chivalrous are the men, is
Mrs. Arson Jones. widow of the last
president of the Texan republic. She
was born in Lawrence county, Ark.
| Her father. John S. Smith, died in
| 1927, but her intrepid mother took
| the family overland to join the colony
| at Austin Tex She was married in
| 1910 to DR.. Jones. who afterward be-
came president of Texas. He died il

The grocer who is addicted to sharp
practice has many means Of fooling
his customers, and it is well for the
housekeeper to be up to them all. He

Always test such fruit when you buy
it and, no matter how attractive 1t may
appear, reject 1t If 1t has a slightly
musty taste. In fresh fruit the skin
is almost as soft as the pulp, while the
reverse will be true Of old stock. Wal
nuts of the past year may be made to
look like the seasons crop by washing
them In fresh slightly warm water
Ordinary oranges are transformed into
blood oranges by injecting a little
