ly eay, "I give you tbia lemon." But when the trans-

singular, my estate and interest, right, title, claim and
advantage of, and in said lemon together with al! ad-
vantage of and in said lemon together with all its rind,
skin, juioe, pulp and pips, with all advantage therein,
with full power to squeeze, bite, suck or otherwise ent
the said lemon, or give the same away, as fully and ef-
fectually as I, John Doe, am new entitled to squeeze,
bite, out, euck or otherwise eat said lemon, or give the
same away, with or without its rind, juioe, pulp and
pipe; anything hereinbefore, or hereinafter, in any
other deeds, instrument or instruments, of whatever
nature or kind soever to the contrary in anywise not-
withstanding."

-i if
ANNUAL VALUE OF MINERAL PRODUCTION $16,001,000.
Our minerals—nature's treasury box—await the prospector's
pick to break their bonds and flood the channels of trade with a
golden stream of prosperity, and our mineral opportunities, when
properly displayed, will light the universe like the blaze of
a mighty fire. Petroleum is our leading mineral product. The
1910 production was valued at $6,605,775.
The subject ofv mineral resources and their development will
come up for consideration before the Texas Welfare Commission.
W. W. Turney of El Paso is chairman of the sub-committee
which will deal with the subject.

Helpful HinL on Bread Making
Have materials all at hand
Sift three tinen, flour, Bait and baking
powder, mil thoroughly.
Bake slowly enough to allow the bread
to riso before it crusts over, uaing a cov-
ered pan to keep tho surface soft. Re-
member that baking powder broads do
the greater part of tho rising in the oven
and that baked bread can cot riso. Let
it rbo before baking.
K C Baking Powder la particularly
adapted to bread baking on account of
its long sustained action. It begins to
riso as noon as moisturo ia Added, and
under tbo influenco of a gentlo heat, it
continues to give off ita leavening gas for
fully half an hour. You camlot expect
tho samo results from old fashioned quick-
acting baking powdera. With K C Bak-
ing Powder you ora assured of a light,
palatable loaf.
Never, never knead baking powder
bread as one docs yeast bread. Turn'
from the mixing bowl into the baking pan.
Follow mixing and baking directions
carefully. Remember failures are not
simply bad luck, but bad ways. There
is a correct, scientific way for building
baked foods the mom as for building
houses, and unloja these rules r.ro followed,
results cannot be perfect.

Advenlist Meeting
T^e Seventh Day Adventist
meeting closed Sunday night
with a good congregation. For
fowrweeks thi9 meeting has been
going on without a break, exoept
one evening when the Presiding
Elder of the Methodist church
was in town and he was given
the time. The principal subjeot9
dwelled upon were conversion,
faiih and repentance, salvation
only in Christ, and the second
coming of Christ; the signs of
his coming, millennium, our par*
adise home; the Holy Spirit and
its office work. Tho two cove-
nants, and the ten ccmrrand-
ments was shown to be the foun-
dation of God's government, and
that faith in Christ establishes
this >aw, and, as Christ said to
His followers," If ycJu love me
keep my commandments," we
understand that our faith is made
perfect and maintained by keep-
ing these commandments.
The Sabbath question was
amongst the subjects given, and
also the prophecies were largely
dwelling upon, showed that the
beast of Daniel 7, and also Rev-
elation 13, represents the papacy,
the Roman catholic church, ruled
by the pope, claiming to be the
head of the church, and God on
earth, which is Masphemy; and
the warning against the worship
of the beast, with the penalty,
which is the wrath of God, in-
cluding the seven last plagues,
as given in Rev. 16. Then a
etirrinp1 discourse was given on
the text," What must I do to be
saved? "following with Jer. 8:20,
"The harvest is past, the sum-
mer is ended and we are not
saved. Closing the meeting
with subject of "present truth,"
showing that these things are
the truth for this time, and that
we, like the antedeluvians, will
be destroyed if they are not heed-
ed, and as the Jews rejected the
message of the first advent of the
Saviour, and were rejected, so
will those that reject the message
for this time, "be turned to hell
with all the nations that forget
God." E. B. Hopkins.
Health a Factor In Success
The large factor contributing
to a man's success is undoubted-
ly health. It has been observed
that a man is seldom sick when
his bowels are regular—he is ne-
ver well when they are constipa-
ted. For constipation you will
find nothing quite so good as
Chamberlain's Tablets. They
not unly move the bowels but
improve the appetite and streng-
then the digestion. They are
