Designer.

When the pastor of Shorter Church
announced that his congregation
would be divided up into a mock con
ference. every pastor designated be
gan to think to get something new and
especially did Mrs. Adah Clements
look around to get an odd, unique, re
fined and thought-filled, entertaining
amusement in the form of swell up
to-the-minute fashion parade. Many
who claim to know and understand
do not know what such task as that
really means.
Very seldom have such expensive
and helpful activities been given in
such grand, classy and extraordinary
style. To say that her event was the
classiest and best ever given in Den
yer is putting it too mild, but the most
distinguishing fact is that 1t only at
tracted the talented tenth, who could
so thoroly realize the significance and
appreciate the brain power used in
the designing, equipping, rare selec-
tions and classy styles Of the -upto-
the moment order. Such beautiful
scenes as Promenade along the board
walk in Atlantic City: the beautiful
Garden scenes; the tennis court: the
riding galop and steeple chase views
each resplendent with its own re-
spective costume, designs and many
changes. The participants were up
to-the-minute in each OF the different
scenes, changing costumes, dresses,
gowns to match the scenes. Mrs.
Bessie Jackson, so beautiful with her
dimples and attractive manner, easily
won the prize in the Garden scene.
The ladies so gaudily attired and en-
quisitely dressed, were Misses Lillian
Richardson in Bellies of To-day" while

ents belongs halo of praise and glory
for her original ingenuity and rare
artistic skill for producing the extra
ordinary which can be so easily mis-
understood by those who don't know,
but thoroly appreciated by all whose
tastes run in the aethetic, the beauti.
full and the artistic. Shorter should
feel proud of her and OF all who par
ticipated. 1t was an honor for the rare
education shown. The rare musical
numbers rendered were by Messrs.

sweeter. Special mention was given
Mr. Marshall Coates. Mr. Valuarez

Atlanta, Ga.-Dr. jacobson said in
a recent interview that 80 per cent
of enemia comes from nervous break
down, which can only be corrected by
supplying the necessary phosphates to
the nervous system that is lacking in
the food you eat, and this can be quick
ly supplied by taking one or two s.
grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after
each meal and at bed time. 1t will in
many cases make a pale, scrawny,

SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-
Phosphate recommended by DR.. F. H.
Jacobson, contains phosphates such as
are prescribed by leading physicians
throughout the world, and it will be
found the most effective form for
treating patients with Nervous Dys-
pepsia, Stomach troubles, Brain Fag,
and Nervous Prostitution. 1t will re-
new youthful vim and vigor, and build
up the whole body. If your druggist

them away. One man says, after using
it: Il was almost blind. Could not see
to read at all. Now l can read every
thing without my glasses, and my eyes do
not hurt any more. At night they would
pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all
the time. 1t was like a miracle to me-"
