ATLAS BIBLE CLASS
ENJOYS A BANQUET
A. H. Rowell, President of Class, Acts
as POSTMASTER, and Other P<omi-
nent Men Respond.

The Atlas Bible class of the First
Methodist church last night enjoyed a
delicious and thoroughly enjoyable
banquet at the auditorium of the
Young Mems Christian association, as
a result of a recently concluded contest
between members of the class, the los
ing half providing the banquet for the
winners.
A. H. Rowell, president of the class,
was POSTMASTER and there were AZ
men at the table during the banquet,
among them many of the best known
men in the church and in the city. The
following were the toasts:
"Our Duty to Our Glass;" S. j.
Hunt.
"Lost the Prize, But Not Defeated"
w. L. Pendergrass.
"Our Future Wok," w. w. Taylor.
"Thc Lawyers in Bible Glass;" A.
Il. Cooper.
"Our Object" Rev. E. r. Steel.
The banquet was arranged by a COM
mittee composed of S. j. Hunt, I. f.
Gadberry and Oscar Spellman, and was
prepared and served by committee
from the Woman's auxiliary of the
Young Mems Christian association,
the committee being composed of Mrs.
J. G. Taylor, president of the auNil-
larry, Mrs. E. M. Goodwin, Mrs. w. M.
Toney, Mrs. T. E. Gillespie, Mrs.
Tracy Mills and Mrs. Lee Fox.
1t was the first "outside" affair of
considerable size given in the auditor
ium of the association building since
the erection of the separate entrance
to the gymnasium and the placing OF
the partition, and as a result the ban
quetters were able to enjoy themselves
to the utmost without disturbance, al
though basketball games were in pro-
gress overhead and several score boys
were loudly advertising today's foot
ball game, in the lobby of the building

SECRETS OF MAKING
BREAD TO Be TOLD
Member Of Housewives League VIII
Tell In The Graphic How She
Rakes and Saves Money.

The increasing cost of bread prom
Uses to revive arnong the housewives
the art of breadmaking. In fact,
there are many women in Pine Bluff
right now who are doing their own
baking. and holding down household
expenses by SO doing. Others will
do so as soon as they learn that
is not difficult, and that
a considerable saving can be effected
by baking bread at home.
Knowing the interest being evinced
by the housewives of the city in this
subject. The Graphic has arranged
with q member of the Housewives
league to contribute series of four
articles explaining the best methods
of bread making and giving receives
which have been found most salts
factory. This lady has developed the
art of bread-making until she is an
expert, and The Graphic considers it
self and the public fortunate that she
had consented to share her expert
ence with the public. With two
pounds of flour, the author of these
articles produces four one-pOund
leaves of good bread. How does she
dc it.?
These and other question will be
answered in the four articles, the
first to appear in The Graphic OF
Sunday. Nov. 10. The others will be
published ON successive Sundays. Any
questions concerning bread-makins
will be answered by the author.

the deal. The city viii take good and
sufficient bond to insure that at the
end of the year, when the scrip comes
due, the loan may be renewed, If the
city so desires, at the same terms and
upon the same conditions.
Alderman We'll is the only member
OF the council who is in opposition
to the transaction. There are vague
rumors that other opposition has de-
veloped to the matter, but the source
of such opposition, if any really ex-
lists, has not been discovered. Dur
ing its consideration Of the PROPOSE
ton, the council has conferred with
local banks and also with local rep
resentatives Of Northern and Eastern
bond buyers, and it is understood all
of these have informed the city aql-
thorities that the deal is about the
most advantageous which could be
made by the city, especially under tho
conditions which prevail in city at
fairs at this time.
When the matter comes before the
council Monday night, it is expected
there will be only the one vote cast
against the ordinance, and that this
will be the vote of Alderman We'll.

PREPARATION

One of the most noteworthy fea-
lures in connection with the introduc-
ton of Tanlac, and the one that stands
out more prominently than any other,
perhaps, is the very large number of
well-known men and women from all
parts of the south who have recently
reported an astonishing and rapid in
crease in weight as result of its
use.
When so many well-known people
of unequestioned integrity make state
ment after statement, each corrobor-
ating the other, the truth of such
statements can no longer be doubted.
Thousands have testified that this
famous medicine has completely re-
stored them to health and strength,
after every other medicine and the
most skilled medical treatment have
failed
One of the most remarkable cases
on record is that of Mrs. Charles Pc
den, Of Huntsville, Ala, whose state
ment appears below. Mrs. Peden, ac-
cording to her own signed statement,
gained tWenty-seven (27 pounds in
only a few weeks time, and her case
created widespread interest over the
entire country. She is reported to have
received over eight hundred 5000 let
:ers regarding her statement since it's
publication.
Another remarkable case was that
of Mrs. 0. c. Cason, of Acworth, Ga,
who according to her statement was
recently brought in an automobile to
Atlanta. propped up on pillows, to Wis
it her sister, with no hope of ever re-
turning home alive. Mrs. Cason at
that time only weighed go pounds, and
after taking Tanlac six weeks was or
her feet again and weighed IS pounds

well-known engineer for the NJ, y.

tirely relieved her Of the trouble.
Prof. Elmer Morris, teacher in
the public schools of Stewart county,
Tennessee, recently said that, after
suffering over a year with serious
stomach trouble, during which time he
was treated by doctors and went to
Dawson Springs, Ky, without getting
any relief, he took three bottles of
Tanlac, gained 20 pounds and was en-
tirely well. Prof. Morris address is

DIR. j. t. Edwards, a well-known
physician of Fayetteville, Ga, recently
wrote of the remarkable recovery Of
7. M. McGough, of that place. DR..
Edwards stated that Mr. McGough.
who was one of his patients, has not
only been relieved Of serious stomach
trouble by Tanlac, but that he had
gained II pounds on the medicine.
One Of the most remarkable indorse-
n1ents ever given was that Of Mrs. G.
w. Williams, of Gadsden, Ala. Mrs.
Williams stated that she had suffered
with serious kidney and stomach +rou-
Bile nearly Is years, and that her con-
dition became such that it was neces-
sary for her physician to call three
times day. Finally she was told that
there was no hope for her recovery,
and, thinking that she would die, she
had her children, who were residing
IN other cities, summoned to her bed
side. Her daughter, Mrs. R. C. Mel
son, of Atlanta, arrived and begged
her mother to take Tanlac, which she
did. She was soon on the road tore
