Church Banquet.

Thursday night Mr.. Turkeys men,
who compose Bible class in the Sun
day-school of the First Christian church,
gave very delightful banquet in the
parlors of the church. A spirited con-
test had been on between the reds and
the blues, and it was agreed that which
ever side was defeated should serve a
supper to the victorious side. About 80
gentlemen were present at the banquet
and many of them responded 10 toasts-
Hon.J. NJ Benton, Hon. w. B.Smith, &C.
Wallace, R. E. Turley. L. P. Evans, g..
E. Lilly, Prof. Roscoe Gilmore Stott and
DIR. E, G. McDougle.
The blues won the victory, but they
released the vanquished reds from serv-
ing the supper, and all were seated at
the tables and enjoyed a most agreeable
hour.
The ladies of the church served the
supper, which was most appetizing, in
their usual gracious way, and to these
good women goes much of the credit for
the success of the church.

GREAT PREPARATIONS MADE

Louisville.-It has been eleven years
since Lexington had the honor of en-
tertaining this convention and these
years have formed period of unu-
sual development in the Sunday-school
world There have been many new
Sunday-schools organized, most of the
schools have grown largely in the
number of people enrolled. The schools
have become better organized and
have added many new departments.
The Teacher Training Glasses, the
Organized Adult Glasses, the Organ
lied Teen Age Glasses, the Home De-
partments and the Cradle Rolls have
all developed into departments of the
Sunday-schools during these years and
each will have an important place on
the program.
One of the interesting features OF
the State Convention of the Kentucky
Sunday School Association to be held
in Lexington. Oct. 1928, win be the
roll call Of counties.

How Bad Backs Have Been Made
Strhng--Kidney Ills Corrected.

All over Richmond you hear it. Doan's
Kidney Pills are keeping up the good
word. Richmond people are telling
about it-teling of bad backs mede sound
again. You can believe the testimony
of your own townspeople. They tell it
for the benefit of you who are suffering.
If your back aches, if you feel lame,
sore and miserable, if the kidneys act
too frequently, or passages are painful,
scanty and off color, use Doan's Kidney
Pills, the remedy that has helped so
many of your friends and neighbors.
Follow this Richmond citizens advice
and give Doan's chance to do the same
for you.
Mrs L. II. Todd, 1913 Big Hill avenue,
Richmond, KY, says: II felt all run
down and was in need of a kidney medi-
cine when l heard of Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1 got supply at Middelton's
Drug Store, and they made me feel bet
ter and stronger in every way"
Mrs Todd is only one of many Rich
mond people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for a kidney remedy
ask di5tinctfy for DOanj Kidney Pills, the
same that Mrs. Todd had-the remedy
backed by home testimony. SOC all

88 feet 6 inches, exclusive OF
the front porch. Such a shape nee
essarily requires that one room shall
follow another, sometimes with very
long dark narrow hall, but this plan
avoids that difficulty by putting a
room at the back end Of the hall and
by connecting the kitchen with the
dining room by way Of the pantry.
Then the upper part of the house is
laid out with a bedroom in each end
and a bathroom opposite the upper
hallway in the center. This arrange.
ment requires that the bathroom shall
be lighted by a dormer window, the
design of which is very neat and at
tractive. It adds a great deal to the
appearance of the house because 1t is
ornamental as well as useful. Such at.

Ones Ancestors

How many male and female ances
tors were required to bring you into
the world? First, it was necessary
that you should have a father and
mother. That makes two human be
ings. Each of them must have had a
father and mother. That makes -four
human beings Again, each of them
must have had a father and mother
making eight more human beings So
on we go back to the time of Jesus
Christ, Sc generations. The calcula.
ton thus resulting shows that 139,-

possible without any attempt at indi-
vidual ornamentation. The front yard
is usually bare OF grass and there is
broken board walk at the side. Cen
orally such houses are boxed in with
some kind of a wooden fence that
shows signs of weather wear and the
dilapidated breakage caused by chill

A neat design like this costs very
little more, but what a difference in
appearance The shape of the roof
and the corresponding roof over the
front porch with the proper placing of
windows make the difference in the
outside appearance. The colors used
in painting of course have good deal
to do with the final finish. A good
combination of light shade of paint for
the body with darker trimmings care
fully chosen to properly match show to
great advantage in the finish of one
of these houses. N

A great deal depends on the plan
as well as the convenience and the
outside appearance. 1t is an art that
seems difficult to acquire, the building
OF small artistic, comfortable houses,
but It is an art well worth studying,
Such houses should be a great deal
more common than they are 1t would

Neither Money Nor Stamps in Sonora

Neither Money Nor Stamps In Sonora.
In the state OF Sonora, Mexico the
operation of the mines is now going
on as if nothing had ever happened.
Sonora has seeded and no federals
are in sight The state government
runs things on its own hook. but
neither has nor has claimed any ma
tional rights.
This produces embarrassments, says
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Sonora has no coinage and currency is
scarce. The supply Of federal postage
stamps has run out, and those of the
sovereign state of Sonora do not carry
in the United States Consequently
Americans put United States stamps
on their letters and pay three cents
into the state postofice. The latter
undertakes TO carry them to the
American border and mail them there.

Dance las Lac varIoua Names.

Speculations on the correct spelling
and pronunciation of tango as a dance
recall the fact that there were similar
doubts about the waltz, which, when
introduced just a century ago, was
scolded in terms very similar to those
now applied to the tango, Waltz has
had many different spelIings. Its
first form was as ''lavolta" in old
Provence. Henry II, of France was
fond OF a dauce which was really a
development OF lavolta and an early
form Of the waltz, It was then called
volta Castil Blaze remarks that
'the waltz, which we took again from
the Germans in 1895, had been a
French dance for 400 years" When
it went to Germany it acquired its
usual name of waltz" but it is still
