heard the suit of Mrs. A. N. (Rant, et
al, vs. I. W. Stephens and O. A. Hol-
land, trustees of the J. R. Couts es-
tate, wherein a construction of the
will was sought by the plaintiffs.
Eminent lawyers presented pleadings
and arguments, quoting many author-
ities to sustain their pleadings.
The case has attracted a great deal
of attention on account of the amount
of the estate involved, and the further

Then came on to be heard the plain-
tiffs’ exceptions to the second amend-

and Stephens, which were by the
court offer-ruled, to which action of
the court the plaintiffs excepted.
Thereupon a jury being waived, the
matters both of law and fact were

Mrs. Lindsay, who is superintendent
of the W. C. T .U.’s depart men’ of

methods of open air advertising by
transparencies, “sandwich men,” signs
and other means of bringing into pub
licity tHe temperance Cause. She
scored the tobacco habit as filthy and
unhealthful, and said a campaign of
open air advertising could be waged
against the cigar, the,cigarette and
chewing tobacco on poster boards,
carried by men hired for the purpose
and as an offset to the billboard ad-
vertisements of the tobacco makers.
A campaign against the use of lipuor

said Mrs. Lindsay.

Mrs. Shepard, "why the crusade

What is the chief reason for the superi-
ority of Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Dr. Price’s from
other baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is
made from cream of tartar, which comes
from grapes. This means a healthful fruit
origin. It means natural food as distin-
guished from mineral substitutes used in
other baking powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in
