A GOOD BREAKFAST.
Some Persons Never Know What II
Means.

A good breakfast, a good appetite
and good digestion NEAR everything
to the man, woman or child who has
anything to do, and wants to get a
good start toward doing it.
A Mo. man tells Of his wife's good
breakfast" and also supper, made out
Of Grape-Nuts and cream. He says:
' II should like to tell you how much
good Grape-Nuts has done for my wife.
After being in poor health for the last
Is years, during part Of the time
scarcely anything would stay on her
stomach long enough to nourish her,
finally at the suggestion of a friend
she tried Grape-Nuts.
Nov, after about four weeks on
this delicious and nutritious food, she
has picked up most wonderfully and
seems as well as anyone can be.
Every morning she makes a good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten just as
1t comes from the package with cream
or milk added; and then again the

The Texas Welfare commission, In con.

The commission has recommended that
the legislature authorize such use of the

execution plans for their employment.
These plans should provide, 1t is suggest

IN THE DUCHESS APARTMENTS.

Any doubts hat Prue's escort might
have secretly entertained as to the
credibility Of her strange story, were
set at rest the moment she entered the
doors Of Marlborough House. Her re-
ception was that of the elect; a priv
legged guest whom all delighted to
honor. The obsequious flunkeys bowed
before her, and the stately Groom of
the Chambers, by whose command the
lieutenant was shown into a waiting
room, himself carried the Lady Prue's
request for an audience Of the duchess
on most pressing business.
The anterooms were thronged with
visitors whose curiosity had been
whetted by a rumor that the long-ex-
pected had happened, and that the
queen had gladly availed herself of the
loss OF her jewels as an N for HUI

Mothers Vacation
Editor ARGUS:

Lutto1 Ah1OO.
 AS am seeing so much about vacation among the Brinkley girls, ] am wondering how many of us are thinking about Moth CTS Vacation" for vacation time is here, girls and you are plan- ming some dandy times; probably out in the country-for that is the place we usually go if we live in town. You may stay a week. "a month, or maybe just for one day. But how about mothers vacation? Is she to have a vacation? Is she too tired after getting you young folks off that she can't make any luther efforts in that direction?
 Mother needs a change for several reasons. She stays at home so closely that she would appreciate just a change in scenes trip or anything that would take her thoughts from her daily work, rest from the endless grind of getting three meals a day. How tired women grow of their own cooking. And how little men or children con- prehend this. or the real delight of mother when she has an op- portunity to eat a dinner pre- pared by another, even if it isn't seasoned as well as her own.

BAPTIST CHURCH

Most of last week was spent by the pastor in a meeting at Fitz- hugh School House. Two serv- ices were held each day and the results were very gratifying, Eight fine young people made a public confession of Jesus, and others had the spiritual fires that had burned low. renewed. It was warm in the little school house, but the people came and at times all were not able to get inside the little house. The meeting closed Sunday night, Bro. Saw yers preaching the last sermon while services were held in the church here as usual.
 Next Sunday there will be no preaching as the pastor has been called out of town for that day. The s. s. and B. Y. P. U. will meet as usual. This is the time set for the election of officers in the B. Y. P. U. and all of the members are urged to be present and take part in this important work.

Ravival Meeting at White
 Church

This neighborhood has recently been blessed with the greatest revival ever known at this place. Rev. Moore, of Marvell, conduc- ted the meeting which began Friday night, July 28. and closed Thursday night, Aug. ]. There were 66 conversions. On Friday a special service for the children was held; and, although it was a rainy day, about 45 children were present. The sermon was enjoyed very much. A large crowd came out every night, and on Sunday night, it was esti- mated that there were more than 500 present: people within radius of 10 miles attended.
 The Christian people through out the surrounding country seem greatly revived in spirit. Several of the hardest sinners were converted: eighteen persons promised to have family alters in in their homes.
 Behavior was good. The reviv- al has certainly been a great blessing to the people of this place and all wish Bro. Moore much success in his future work.

Be sure to pu' some new fancy work, a new book or magazine into her sui case.

Her fancy work is usually done with a darn. ing needle and yarn on a common every day article known as stock. ings. And if she is away any length of time, write to her often and tell her all the pleasant things (keeping all unpleasant happenings out) or she will cer- tainly get worried and come home before her stay is out.
 Perhaps girls, you have plan ned a good time at home and have invited one of your school mates for a week or so, and mother is going to make things pleasant for you both, as mothers always do. But is mother going to have her friends visit her, and are you going to assist in the kitchen work and give mother a pleasant and enjoyable day with her guests? Mothers sometimes get worn out working for her children's visitors that she is obliged to deny her self a simi- liar pleasure.
 Why not help mother by look ing into her wardrobe and see if she needs assistance in mending a dress, making a collar, jabot or belt, and take some of this work and finish it for, her while she is away, giving her a pleas ant little surprise when she comes home and finds her work is being carried on as if she were there.

| c. s. Henderson and family, Misses Tonnie Nelson, Ollie and Oracle Terrence, and Edward Henderson, fof Brinkley, spent last Sunday at Waldrops the guest of MT. and Mrs. Waldrop.
 After Sunday School at South School House last Sunday, Rev. George Bryant, of Blackton, preached to us and our people were so well pleased with his sermon that they insisted on his preaching again at s o'clock, and feel that he did good work. l We are to have protected meet ing soon.
 The Angel of Death visited the Corner again last Saturday. Mrs. o. M. Abernethy lost her baby boy, 2 years old. He was a sweet little darling. We all sympathize with Mrs. Abernathy in losing her precious baby.
 Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Waldrop went to Pine Bluff on last week tovisit MT. Waldrop's two daugh- ters.
 We a. 2 glad to report Nina Byers on the road to recovery after several weeks illness of pneumonia.
 The roads and bridges between this place and Brinkley, are in very good condition for which we have to thank the merchants of Brinkley, especially Mir. Henry Wolf for had it not been for his work we would have a dangerous road on which to get to market.
 
 We fear Ed. Henderson has lost his interest in the Corner he came over only twice last week.
 Miss Oracle Torrance is quite ill this week; also, Mrs. Psal. mons baby. so Dr. Mathis re ports. There is more sickness in the Corner than there has been for several months.
 The P. P. mail is a great con- venience to some of our young men of Brinkley: it brings pack ages of chocolates, etc, cheap and delicious, the same day.
 Our schools both White and colored are in a most prosperous condition, better than in years. Prof. Bowen was over last week inspecting them.
 Tod Henderson was in Brink ley Tuesday trading.
 The colored Baptist Conven- tion is in session this week in the Corner. Delegates from sev- eral counties in East Ark. arc present.
 Richland Township can boast of the best colored citizens o1 any place in the country as law abiding people. Quite a number of them voted with us at the last election for governor ant county judge. They know tha' what is good for the white mar is good for them.
