Parents when selecting a school for
their son or daughter to attend, or young
men and women depending upon their
own judgment, should take into careful
consideration the moral surroundings in
which they will be placed when attend
ing school. Our large cities are full of
saloons and their accompanying evils.
The business colleges located in these
cities cannot control their students when
out of the school room, therefore, they
arc left to roam the streets at will and
get into all kinds of company. The
Tyler Commercial College is located in
the beautiful and healthy city of Tyler,
Texas, town of Il, 900 inhabitants, with
no saloons or their ACCOMMODATING evils.
Our large crowd of 1000 students an
nually are controlled with perfect ease,
both while in and out of school. The
school is opened each morning with ex-
ercises that strengthen the moral char
acter. of every student within its walls.
Lectures by prominent business men
from various parts of the United States
upon the necessity of truthfulness and
honesty in true business education;
lectures by some of Americas greatest
orators, men Of extensive travel and
careful study. These morning exercises
are made interesting, inspiring and en-
couraging. They cause our student
body to determine to be honest, to be
upright, to be industrious, to be ladies
and gentlemen who will make the
brightest type of citizenship. A bust
ness education without the proper moral
training is failure, yet there is not
another business college in the State
that spends five minutes on the moral
training of its students. The moral
training given by the Tyler Commercial
College has been Endorsed by various
religious bodies, by prominent business
men and by presidents Of railroads. 1t
is the aim of this institution to see that
every student leaves morally strength
ened as we'll as with practical knowl-
edge of Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Cot
ton CHASING, Business Administration
and Finance, and Telegraphy.
Write for our large, beautifully illus
trated, free catalogue. Read it care
fully and obtain full particulars. It
costs no more to place your son or
daughter in Americas largest and most
successful business college than it does
in some small inferior institution, with
all the temptations of the larger cities.

The Word "Slave."

An interesting instance In history OF
the twisted application Of the names
of people is afforded by the case Of
the word slave" Now. the Slavi
tribes dwelling ON the banks Of the
Dnieper. derived their appelntion from
"Slav." meaning noble or illustrious.
In the days Of the later Roman en-
pire vast numbers Of these Slavs We're
taken over by the Romans in the cou
dition Of captive servants. and in this
way the name of the tribes came il,
time to carry with it the idea Of II low
state Of servitude. the exact antitirp
sis Of its original meaning and one
that has survived to- this time.

HEARNE DRY GOODS co. ss:;:s
Chocolate, Spanish Style,

To know the finest method for max
ing chocolate or cocoa one must learn
of the practice in Spain or in one of
the Spanish American countries. There
one finds out two important things
The first concerns the ntensil in which
the chocolate is made. Our nearest
approach to this is IN enameled ware
double boiler. Indeed, this is per.
fectly satisfactory substitute for the
heavy and fragile chocolate pots ia
vored by some of the Spanish coun-
tries. The second point is that choco-
late is better if not served freshly
made. Chocolate and cocoa are much
smoother and the flavor is much I'M
proved If they are prepared some hours
before service. Cook the chocolate in
the enameled ware boiler very thor.
oughly. Set in a cool place and let
stand until required. Then heat to the
boiling point and serve either with or
without whipped cream.

Mrs. Foil Home From Seattle.

Mrs. Theodore Foil returned from
Seattle Sunday where she attended
the national convention of the w. C.
I. U. The big convention was held
in Plymouth Congregational church,
and delegates from every state in the
Union attended. About 400 dele
gates We're present. Not less than
500 or 900 people attended the sessions
the church being crowded to capacity.
A feature Of this great convention was
the receptions and banquets provided
by Seattle people, and the delegates
went home feeling that Washington
and Seattle people know how to enter
tain.
A review of past years work sur
prised most of those attending. The
advancement was splendid in every
line of the work. This progress was
not easy. l had required untiring
effort on the part of the White Ribbon
army. And the plans for 1916 make
the work of the past year look small.
There was great enthusiasm, and
every delegate went home resolved to
put increased zeal and greater devo-
ton into the cause, that the principles
of temperance and prohibition may be
advanced. Ultimate prohibition for
state and nation is the objective to-
wards which this army is moving.
Many of the delegates are attend
ing the Frisco exposition while on
the Pacific coast. On Sunday every
pulpit in Seattle was occupied by
White Ribbon woman, this organiza-
ton having in it's ranks some of the
foremost women speakers of the day.
The convention opened Monday morn
ing but the programs never bored for
the sessions were interspersed with
short speeches from prominent men in
and outside of the city, exercises by
the children and splendid musical
selections by both men and women of
Seattle. The evening entertainments
were always good, and of these the
most interesting was the Matrons
Grand Diamond Medal Contest, won
by Mrs. Matte White Colvin of New
York.
