SPOTLIGHTS HERE
AND ELSEWHERE
By ANNE JORDAN

Not so long ago he gave a party. 1t
was while his wife was out of town.
Lots of little old girls were invited,
and things went as merry as we'd
ding bell About G. M. the guests
decided they were hungry. They
looked for something to eat in the ice
box and found only raw eggs.
Lets play cook and scramble them"
sugg ested one damsel.
That suited everyone present. They
took the eggs out and found them all
marked with dates.
"We can't cook these eggs; they are
thoroughbred eggs that your wife has
marked to set" exclaimed the guests.
But the host was nothing if not
genial
"That will make them taste all the
better. Eggs that cost $12 dozen just
suit my appetite! I'm not afraid of
my wife,"
SO the thoroughbred eggs were
scrambled and the thoroughbred
chick ems ate them.
The next morning one of the girls
remembered that she had left her
host of the evening past, so she went
TO town, to get it. The front door was
OPEN so she walked in unannounced.
On the floor of the dining room
queer sight met her eye. The genial
host sat, tailor fashion, on the floor,
a bag of eggs that he had just puc-
chased from Five Points beside him,
and he was busily writing a date on
each egg. Oh no. he wasn't afraid Of
his wife!

EAT SWEET CORN
FOR BREAKFAST

London, October 15.-(By Reciprocal
News Service.)-A novelty to Americans
in London fruit store windows Mas been
the display of sweet corn. The ears are
exhibited in state alongside dollhouse
peaches and grapes The corn sells for
. cents each. the peaches 81. % each and
the grapes 81 .25 pound.
An American who went in one of the
fruit shops to make inquiries about the
sweet corn was informed that it was
grown in England with very special care.
The impression prevails here that it
IS the American custom to eat sweet
corn for breakfast. Most of the English
people who can afford sweet corn there
tore have it prepared for the morning
meal. 1t is boiled until the whole ear is
tender, then it is sliced and eaten en-
tire, cob and all.

4SOME T|ME,' HERE
MONDAY NIGHT, IS
MUSICAL ROMANCE
Arthur Hammerstein's Not
able Production at the JEFF
fersOn Theatre for One
Night Only

Public interest in the presentation by
Arthur Hammerstein Of the musical ro-
nance by Rida Johnson Young and Ru-
dof F'riml entitled "Some Time" which
will be presented at the Jefferson theatre
Monday night. is increasing day by day
as the fact percolates into the minds OF
theatregoers that this new offering is
the fourth musical play that Mr.. Ham
merstein is rendering the amusement
loving public.
His three former successes. the charm
ing "Firefly." the melodious High
links" and the tinkling "Katinka," would
indicate that this his latest Some Time"
would be on par if not excel, the
others.
And to accentuate this fact Manager
Hammerstein, we are told, has surround
ed the various characters in the cast
with high class artists and given to the
musical renditions soloistic symphony
orchestra of first-class musicians SO that
the clear ringing voice numbers and the
lofty melodic arches in the choral assem-
blages will be given with that ease and
precision for which all OF Mr.. Hammer
STEMS offerings heretofore have been
noted.
Included in the cast are farceurs and
musical comedy notables and a chorus of
stage beauties culled from among the
brightest and most charming of the in
dependent young women of the musical
world who are aiming to make both name
and fame for themselves, by giving their
best talents to the several choral and
terpsichorean numbers contained within
Some Time" Twenty odd song numbers
of the whistleabe, singable. delightfully."-
tinhling kind are said TO be allotted TO
the principals
Mr.. Hammerstein promises settings of
exquisite beauty, gownings that will
make royal raiment look less entranciug
and sartorial embellishments that for
classic artistry will not have been
equalled in any of his former produc-
items. Taken all in all. an evening OF TN
a!oyed enjoyment, with music, songs
and laughter of the highest order, pleas
ing most all of the senses, is promised
and if the former successes of this noted
manager may be taken as a criterion,
then these promises will surely be full
filled when Some Time is presented
here.

After the Flu
Fever or Cold
Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons
Out of the Digestive Tract

Millions are now suffering from the
otter effects OF the deadly "fu,' a
fever or cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
waiting for their strength to come back.
If these people could only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
tention to the stomach-thatis, remov-
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making it
act naturally, SO that the body will
receive the full strength of the food
eaten--a great deal of suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease it.
self, and the strong medicines that
have been taken, upset the stomach,
leave it hot and feverish, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is a poor
foundation to build new strength on.
Now, tens of thousands of people all
over this country are using EATONIC
for the purpose of cleaning these
poisonous after-effects right out of the
system and they are obtaining wonder
iul results--so wonderful that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly
bclievable, just as shown in the re-
markable letter which is published
upon the reqnestof this sturdy old Civil

CENTENARY FUND

MISSION WORK
No Little Part of Sum Will

The Methodist along with other de-
nominations are raising such enor-
nous sums of money; what are they
in brief for the Methodists They
have made a survey Of every field in
which they are working, China, ia
pan, Brazil, Korea, Mexico, Africa and
last but not least our work in the
south Every mission station that we
have is poorly equipped. Buildings
in which to preach and teach is the
cry and appeal of every missionary.
Houses in which to live, preachers,
teachers, doctors and nurses is the
prayer and burden of every report
that comes to US from the mission
fields.
Now this survey which has been
made by the best and most capable
men of the church and at the great
est expense to the church that the
church might know before it was
asked to give what the real need is.
We know the number of men and
women, of church buildings and
schools and the amount of money
needed to stabilize the work of our
church in these fields above mention
ed With the number of native help
ers that will be enlisted the people
assigned to the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, can be evangelical
through the force and equipment now
being made ready by the Centenary.
If this drive for $35,000,000, which
will be put on the 18th, is success,
and thus far it has every token OF
being it will enable us as a church
to do a piece Of finished work in
heather lands that will be one Of
the browning works of the kingdom.
In the survey our southland has
not been overlooked Provision has
been planned for every class Of peo-
pie. Eighty-five per cent of our
churches we find have preaching only
once a month. Only about two thou
sand of our preachers are paid any
thing like an adequate salary. Two
thousand and over of our congrega-
tons in the south are without houses
Of worship, to say nothing of the Mex
leans, Italians, Cubans, Greeks, that
are in our section i'll large numbers;
the neglected sections OF our cities,
i the mountain people, the factory peo-
pie, rescue work and city mission
work. We are planning to send $780,
900 for mission work in Africa but we
are planning to spend $4,000 for
negro work in the south. Plans are
! now being formed for enlarging and
extending the Arkansas Haygood In
dustrial school, located within four
| miles of this city. In brief the Cen
tenary movement plans to make
Christianity respectable and effective
| in every field where the Methodist
church operates.

SO small that often in>the ordinary diet

PS.: If you can make any use
OF this letter for suffering humanity.
you are at liberty to do 40. C.S,M.
This is only one case utof thousands.
You should make the EATONIC test
in your own case at once. You have
everything to gain-not a penny can
you lose, for we take all the risk. Your
own common sense, your own feelings,
tell you that good appetite, good d.
gestion, good stomach, with the fever
poisons and effects of strong medicines
out of your system, will put you on the
road to strong, robust health again.
You want to enjoy life again after
you have battled with the ''fu" fever
or colds, or any other illness that has
taken your strength. You want to get
back your old-time vigor, be full of pep
and enthusiasm-be able to work with
ease, instead of listlessly, half-heart-
eddy dragging out a mere existence.
So be sure to take box OF EATONIC
home with you today. We cannot urge
this too strongly. If EATONIC fails
to give you positive beneficial results,
It will not cost you . penny. There is no
risk-the benefit is surely ill for you.
