"Soul" is the subject of the Les-
son-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday* February 16.
The Golden Text is: "Unto thee,
O Lord, di I lift up my soul. Sheow
O Lord did I lift up my soul. Show j
thy paths" (Psalms 25:1, 4).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: "I say unto
you, ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock and
it shall be opened unto you. For
every one that askets receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth; and
to him that knocketh it shall be
opened" (Luke 11: 9, 10).
Tjhe Lesson-Sermon includes
also the following passage from
the Christian Science text book,
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures'' by Mary Baker
Eddy: "Truth will at length compel
us all to exchange the pleasures
and pains of sense for the joys of
Soul, (page 300).
Hup a Friend Recommends
BUCK-DRAUGHT
People who have taken
31ack-Draught naturally are
enthusiastic about it 'because
of the refreshing relief it has
brought them. No wonder
they urge others to try it! ...
Urn. Joe G. Roberts, of Portersville,
Ala., writes: "A friend recommended
Black-Draught to me a long time
ego, and it has proved its worth to
me. Black-Draught Is good for
ooostipation. I find that taking
Black-Draught prevents the bilious
headaches which I used to have." ...

Death Trap Bridge
Goes Up In Flames
Wharton, February 6.—Discus-
sion of the "mystery fire" which
destroyed the old off-set bridge
over the East Bernard river be-
tween Kendleton and Hungerford
early Thursday brought only
smiles and silences from resi-
dents living along the main rouce
to the Rio Grande Valley.
The bridge, long known as a
death trap due to the many fatal
accidents which have occui'ed on
the sharp cure at the approach,
was discovered burning at both
ends and the center, despite a
driving rain that fell all Thurs-
day morning.
Crashes have occured at the
bridge on an average of twice
weekly, the latest only Wednes-
day, when Leon Dick Gillette, 21,
of Columbus, lost his life when
the automobile in which he was
riding crashed at the approach.
Wharton residents discounted
the theory that tramps seeking
shelter from the cold, built a fire
which spread to the bridge.
"It was burning at both ends
and the middle", one man said.
"I can't imagine tramps stand-
ing on stilts in the river to keep
warm".
Jim Douglas, highway depart-
ment Engineer, said a new con-
crete structure will cost approxi-
mately .$100,000. The old bridge
was valued at $25,000.
J. B. Early, highway mainten-
ance engineer, when asked if an
investigation would be made into
the fire, replied:
"I havn't complete information
as yet. A lot of things enter into
an investigation like that. I'll
have to get full information."
Traffic to the valley is being
routed through East Bernard.

Tuberculosis, in common with the
other major killers, is a criminal
whose work is effectively carried
on under cover of ignorance, stat-
ed Dr. John W. Brown, State
Health Officer.
Carelessness is its greatest ally.
How otherwise explain the con-
duct of persons, who despite poor
appetite, faulty digestion, loss of
weight, loss of strength or a sen-
sation of tiredness in the after
noons, refuse to admit that their
conditions require professional in
vestigation ? Personal co-opera-
! tion is necessary if we would cut
down the ravages of this preven-
table disease.
Tuberculosis is no respector of
persons; no one is immune to tu-
berculosis infection. Children who
are in repeated contact with tuber-
culosa persons almost invariably
contract the infection. All children,
therefore, should be protected at
all times from protracted exposure
from persons known or suspected
of having the disease.
Removal of the contact cases,
protection of the infant and very
young, and prompt professional ad-
vice when symptons suggestive of
tuberculosis arise, will do much
to reduce the tuberculosis death
rate. But, as has been indicated,
these measures by their very nature
are largely out side the province
fo health officials. The problem is
quite definitely a personal one.
There will be a meeting of all
local women interested in a "Cloth-
Construction Unit" and "A Child
Care and Training Unit", on Fri-
day, February 14, 1936, at 3:45
P. M., at the Home Economics
Cottage. We wish to have as
many as possible out for this
meeting.

Miss Florence Barry spent the

Including a guide for planting
vegetables, field seed and flowers,
the 1936 catalog of the Robt. Ni-
cholson Seed Co., is now available
and is in the hands of many plant-
ers. The planting schedule, alpha-
betically arranged for conveniecne,
lists not only the time for plant-
ing but the quantity of seed for
best results, with brief explana-
tions and comments. A table of
the health value of vegetables is
also included.
Nicholson's Alfalfa is a featured
seed in the 1936 catalog, with in-
structions for preparing soil,
planting and cultivating this crop.
A large variety of corn is listed,
with the prediction that corn will
prove a more important crop than
ever before. Both Southern and
Northern varieties are listed, in-
cluding Nicholson's Drought re-
sistant corn from which roasting
ears have been gathered 80 days
after planting.
The fact that pasture improve-
ment has advanced over the entire
South the past few years has prov-
en the worth of pastures as a per-
manent investment and makes
grasses and pasture mixtures an
important feature of the catalog
interest. Modern, mechanical me-
thods of re-cleaning and testing
seed make it possible to estimate
results as haphazard planting has
never done. Expert instructions for
planting both pasture grasses and
lawn grasses are found in this sec-
tion.
Hundreds of vegetables and flow-
er seeds available this year will be
of interest to women and garden-
ers. Expected to be among the most
popular flower is the improved
Marigolds which boasts unusual vi
gor and is remarkably free from
M. E. Ladies Aid
The members of the M. E. Ladies
Aid met at the home of Mrs. E. A.

The house was called to order
by the President, Mrs. Hoppens'

then in order.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were then read and ap-

report was given.
Reports from various committees
were heard. After discussion of
business the lesson study was in
order. The lesson was led by our
able leader, Mrs. F. L. Herzik. Our
next study is to be the 5th chapter
of Acts. Mrs. O. J. Phillips will
act as leader.
Concluding our lesson study,
"Blest Be The Tie" was sung by
all and the Aid benediction repeat-
ed.
The hostess then invited us into
the dining room where delicious re-
freshments were served.
An enjoyable program was ren-
dered.
Readings, Mrs. Menking and
Mrs. H. Little.
We were pleased to have Mrs.
Bennack as our guest for the af-
ternoon.
After spending a. delightful af-
ternoon with our hostess, the Aid

Gonzales, Feb. 10.—State Sena-
tor W. K. Hopkins of Gonzales an-
nounced Sunday he had accepted
appointment as an assistant jat
torney general of-*- tht'"United
States.
He will leave for Washington
Wednesday, and will begin his du-
ties on February 15. Hopkins re-
vealed that at the insistence, of
friends he had not decided what to
do about his senate seat.
The effective date being so
near at hand'', hie said, "I. have
not had an opportunity to brief
the question of retaining my
place in the state senate.
"In this connection I recall that
a former member of the senate,
Miss Margie Neal, while a mem-
ber, accepted federal position at
Washington, and returned to Tex-
as to attend a special called session
of the Texas Legislature. I trust
and anticipate that my friends and
acquaintances will allow me the
privilege of maintaining my ac-
quaintances and relationships
with them in the future."
Hopkins' senate term does not
end until January 1, 1939.
