You can be sure about the little—but im-
portant—details of good grooming when you
have good bedroom lighting. At
the vanity or dresser, for
example, twin lamps
with 100-watt bulbs to ,
light both sides of your
face evenly will help with 1
makeup. And elsewhere
in the room, good light-
ing not only helps with
personal grooming, but
also makes your bedroom
cheerier, more livable ...
and easier on the eyes.

REVIVAL TO BE HELD AT
PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
The Woman’s Society of Chris-
tian Service met September 5,

ness meeting. Our president Mrs.
Stephenson, called the meeting
to order.
Our study “Indians of Ameri-
ca” will begin the second Mon-
day in October. All officers gave
fine reports.
• Mrs. Stephenson gave a very
inspiring devotional “Hope Thou
in God”, which was enjoyed by
411. TheFe were 14 present. •
The Primitive Baptist revival
will start Sept, the 19th, which
IWilF be Monday following the
third Sunday night, Sept. 25th.

Everyone is invited to
The answer to the proolem of
too many eggs in cne season and
too few in the fall and winter
months when prices are usually
best may be in the two flock
system of egg production. Now
is the time to start the fall flock fall. Both have advantages over
■ chicks.

if pastures aren’t grazed too
heavily, research men at the
