San Antonio Road an
Old Historic Trail
Mrs. Lipscomb Norvell Tells History of
the King's Highway, One of the Old-
est ami the Most Famous Roads in
the United States.
Texas and the King's Highway wan thr sub-
ject of an address by Mrs. Lipscomb Norrell,
chairman of the Olii Trails committee. It fol-
Imv:
The old King's Highway (('amino Heal),
kuiwu as tho okl San Antonio Road, is the
most historical overland highway in tin- world.
It extended west from the Mississippi Klver
at the present City of Natchez, to the quaint
old Spanish town of San Antonio, a distance
of 1,000 miles, and the traffi- passed "till an
other 1.000 miles to the City of Mexico. This
trail «ost for more than h century, is now
being relocated by the State of Texas for
which an appropriation of lfi,000 ^a>* secured
from the last Legislature flirougli the effort*
of Colonel Lpuls J Wortham, a member of
tlie Teits legislature and th • chairman of
the Old Trails lommlttty, Daughters of the
American Kevolut'on.
The Daughters of the American Revolution,
realizing the erectlor of monuments a sacred
net, aud wishing to be -able to have our road
and maps historically correct, employed Prof.
\V. E. Dunn, of the State Cnlversltf. to estab-
lish tlie fact thai tin ('amino Heal and Did
San Antonio Road us the seme. After maps,
field note and diaries were preiared from
the archives, the (Joverno.' of Texas last July,
appointed Major V. N. Zlvely to re-establish the
road. The Old 'I rails committee lias secured
100 monumer.ts to bo placed five miles apart
across the State. The beginning of its use
as a roadwijr dates back to tho trading ex
pedltlon of St. Dennis of LouUlana In 1714.
N<> dotlbt the real history of thih tr:tll Is even
far more ancient, reaching back to prehistoric
times.
A surveyor at work with a corps of as
sistants has found trees that tigured iu the

Curative Value
In Food?
'K
i
"Recalling that 90 per cent of disease results from errors in diet,
then foods properly prescribed by the physician can justly be said
to have curative value."
i
—Dr. Henry B. Hollen, in The Medical Standard.
One of the errors in the diet of many people is the use of foods robbed of the
vital mineral salts (phosphate of. potash, etc.) which are absolutely necessary for
proper balance of body, brain and nerves. The result is a long list of ills, includ-
ing nervous prostration, kidney trouble, constipation, rickets in children, and
so 6n.
Twenty years ago a whole wheat and barley food, containing all the nutriment
of the grain, including the priceless mineral elements, was devised especially to
correct errors in diet. That food is
Grape-Nuts -
It fulfills its mission admirably.
Another physician says:
"Nearly half the year my breakfast consists of a dish of Grape-
Nuts, one or two eggs, or fruit. I RECOMMEND IT TO MY PA-
TIENTS CONSTANTLY, and invariably with good results."
This wholesome food not only builds sturdy health and strength, but fortifies
the system against disease. Ready-to-eat, nourishing, economical, delicious—

Everybody tmv»led the Old San Antonic Read.
Grandfather* aud great grai Ifather alike met,
either at Sao Aitonio oi Nacofdo* het, when
they had business at these points.
There arises before me a road chatted on
i Texas colonial maps, a line that bound set
tleruent rnd settlement together betwien the
j Rio tJiamie and the Sabine Rivers, known
j as the Cm mi no Real of tne Spanish days, the
old San Antonio Road of Anglo American days,
and known to the English «s the King's High
way. Also tlat the lift of that part of the
t'amino Real southwest oi Sau Antjnit to the
Rio Grande is but a reflection of that life
of colonial Texas history. *hen everybody
lad busiue»s with Mexico. While east it Saa
Antmio to the Sabine River ita life coders
ill periods in Texas history.
It was here along the Old King's Highway
th it our moral and political organuati »uh be
gau bleudiug the five historic elements •be
Indian, the French, the Spanish, the Mexican
and the American. Hither the explorers came
by the way of Mexico. The i anting of the
rivers flowing from north to south was destined
to play an important part In our boundary.
The windings of the King's Highway were
determined mainly by the location tf the In
diau vlllag'a. The missions and presidios wer»-
I'ln cd hi nek a way as to MM the Tim
••out try against the French and to prevent
eontraband trade with Mexico. This has been
verified la a dftiact u'"i ptdflvi wa| la tt
arcUlrea.
Jacbeian Do St. Denis of Louisiana, the ex-
plorer. was . tit to Mexico by Governor Cad
iliac of loulslaua with a proposition to open
an verland trade route with Mexico. Thin so
worried the Spaniards that he was thrown into
prison. Later he agreed to lead the Spaniards
to thq Indian country with its forfeited mis
nIoiis and presidios. There they were greeted
with the Indian name "Texas," signifying
"Friends."
Natchitoches La., was a trading post sei
ond only to St. Louis In importance, and wa>
the gateway aloi>g the King's Highway to
Texas aud Mexico. Among the explorers wh»
were active iu this region ct the time wer
De Leon, St. Deals, Lnllarpe, Agu.igo. Kino

DcMesiarea and Vial. A generation later.
Commandant Mier y -Teran. it W2, wrote his
uame acrosa In Central and Eastern Texas, by
erecting fortresses alcng the King's Highway
ot Tenoxtitlan. on th » Biasoa and Nacogdoches,
Tornel ami Alauan were also factors In oik
history during this prrlori.
During the time when the Spaniards were
occupying and fortifying the country, was there
any effmtlva opposition against their move
incuts? There 'vas. The French harassed the
Spaulanls at every point they could. l'hey
captured their supply trains from Mexico, at
tacked their out|x»sts and murdered their
monks. After fortresses were completed the
high tide of Spanish dominatior in the South
west became mrrked along El Csmlno R»*al
tho King's Royal Highway, making that name
a familiar word In the counsels of kings and
statesmen, commanders and captains through
rut the civilised world With the Spanish
cavalcade rushing across to intercept the
French and drive them back, as also the
traders, trappers and gold-seekers, we know
of another class—the band of outcasts, thieves,
robbers, murderers snd savages that came In
horles.
One hundred years afterward, the King'*
Highway was the scene of a very different
conflict.
Now the curtain Is raised on the American
Phillip Nolan who wrote his name largely
Iu Texas with that of Thomas Jefferson in
1797.
While conquering freelwoteis. Augustas Ma
gee led an expedition to hla senseless slaugh-
ter, when the Spanish soldelrs swept the coun
ry,, venting their wrath not alone upon men.
but also upon the helpless wi men and children
At Natchez, Miss., the cltisens were dis-
pleased at the action of the I'nlted State'a
Government in agrcelig to give up all claims
to Texas, If Spain would sell Florida. They
organized in expedition to invade Texas, with
Dr. James Wg is leader.
Arriving at Nacogdoches with 300 ,ner, Long
declared Texas a free Republic. In August.
1K(H», with a force (f hardy flghtors of mi
j questioned couraje, General Wllkerson of the
I'nlted States Amy, who hi'd gone from New
Orleans to Natcbltochgj, l.a., marched his
army to the east benk of Ihe Sabine ltlver,
on the King's Highwry.
General Herrera. commanding the Spanish
troops, marched iu with l.jjoo nun, camped
on the west bank of the river. He was in
readiness for the battle to resist the
but iu the hunt) of night tho affair was p'>ace
fully settled.
Prom 1821 to \m we behold Mexico da'In-
ing lta eolonlration grants with tho San An-
tonio Road figuring In the act. Stephen
F. Austlu is given permission to settle 300
families In Texas. The Vicetoy of Mexico
sent Don Erasmus Seguln with Austin to ex-
plore the country and select a place for his
colony. He ehofe funds between the San
Jacinto and Lavaca Rivers, embracing the ter-
ritory south of the Old San \ntonlo Road,
the first permanent settlement of Americans
In Texas.
The surveyor ihw uf work reports finding
trees that stand us witi esses to this grant.
Then sprenred other colcnlsts from the East
and as the number increioed, men's eves
turned again to the advantage of Central
Texr.s. Tho road still maintained Itn prestige
in the itouudarles of gtauts, as Mexico parceled
them out.
Now th" stage Ih prepared for Santa Anna
to throw off his nissk of devotion for his
country, and ruin himself and land, Wltti
the State'!! government abolished In 1N3.V Texas
fell tindt* the govenment rule. 'Wie colonlsta
held meetings aud appointed committees of
safety. Martial Jaw prevailed, setting ablaze
the smouldering fire* of the Texas rerdu-lon.
By hurrying poat there came the volunteer
troops from New Orleans, Mississippi, Ken
tueky, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. I'her
arrived when they heard Santa Anna had
declared war In an effort to drive out Amer-
icans. From the Fast to tho West tho horses
tramped and thrilling neighs were heard, as
across the Sftte they rushed At the skirmish
at Gonzales the hardy Texans drew a cannon
In view o' the enen y with a placard -»nd
itig: "Come and take It,." Men poured In
carrying their rifles and shot pouches, and
joined General Rurleson. to whom they looked
for Immediate action. \ The old town of Sau
Antonio, the Military Plata and tie streets,
weie barricaded end guarded by cannons. AU»ve
the citadel waved a Mexican flag On the
east bank of the river was the fortress of
the Church of the Alamo. No warning of an
approach of the enemy. A cry. from the sen
tlnel startles the stillness. Tho alarm bells
burst Into a clanging peai.
The Mexicans are pouring down the western
slopes of the ,Haa lVdro River. We behold
Colonel William Travis, In command of the
Fort, with Howie, Colonel James llonham of
South Carolina, David Crockett of Tennessee,
drawing a line with his sword. "Whoever
is willing to die like a hero, let him cross
the line." Within the fort their strong nerves
yielded, they give up to meet death.
Then ceased the storm and nil was still.
Houston saw relief himself and showed It
to llie Texans. The cvents are too well known
to repeat. Santa Anna won pence.
Hie history of this highway has never
been written and 1t would make one of the
most intoh sting chapters in American dm
tory. On? has only to grasp that ihe Capitol
of Texas was situated at Acine Mission, four-
teen inl I OS west of Natchitoches, the French
lort In Loulslona. when Spain took pev.sessbu
of the country. The soldier# remained until
1771, whet they were lemoved to San An-
tonio. Then, after u period of coming aud
going, during the Interval of truce between
France and Hpaln, that invlnclbl vanguard
of Western civilisation arrived-the dauntless
troopers snd pioneers destined to sweep all
others away.
Should Teach Children
Allegiance to Country
"Greatest Glory of Nation Is a Well-
Ordered Citizenship Into Which We
Hope Our Children to Develop," De-
clares Mrs. Robertson.
Ai chairman of the state eomniltee on Chil-
dren and Sons of the Republic, Mrs. Hullng P.
Robertson submitted the following report:
Time's "inout brisk and giddy pace" has
brought us aroinid to another State conference,
and It Is my great pleasure and privilege to
present to you my annual report as chairman of
the Children aud Hons of the Republic, s
D. A. R., and of the work accomplished by the
committee In this State,
There are over 18.HOO.OOO foreign*horn people
In our midst. Tlmre are thirteen States In
which more than 50 per cent of the people ar*
foreign, aud In some counties tho English Ian
guMgc becomes the foreign tongue. With facts
like these before our eyes It certainly Is "worth
while" to persist in gathering as many as we
can of the children of the United States under
the folds of the ,Slurs and Stripes and teach
them: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and
the Republic for which It stntidf>," and It be-
hooves the Daughters to teach and encourage
tho boys to be an honor to the Government the
revolutionary patriots founded.
The first lesson taught in the Children apd
Hons of the Republic (lube Is the "salute to the
flag" and the "pledge," which reads as fol
lows:
"I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the
Republic for which it stands. I pledge my head,
my bands, ui.v heart to tlod and my country.
Olio country, one language, one flag."
And as the greatest glory of a nation Is a
well-ordered, Intelligent citizenship, so we hope
through our Children of the Republic clubs, to
develop such true patriots all stirred up with
hoper * " *

members. Name chosen. Robert K. lire; a presi
dent, vice president with secretary were elected
snd a handsome flag presented by regent of
R"tty Martin Chapter: also a handsomely
framed picture of Washington. Then one of
the children of the American Revolution pre
sented each member of the new club a C-R
button badge and the girl members received pin
flags. "America" was sung, by the entire
school.
Ihe Rebecca Stoddart Chapter of Pll Paso has
done wonders ami It gives nie unbounded satis
faction and pleasure to say that in Mrs. Klcstet
1 have had the most loyal co operation and sup
jKirt. and that she has accomplished as much
in ono year's work as your dtalrman did In
two, for she has three clubs organized In El
I'aso since April last.
Ou April 10. 1915, the William B. Travis
Club of Sons of the Republic of sixteen members,
officers elected ami meetings held twice a
month In the Ralley .School.

Ized April 10; meetings held twice each month
In the A Ita Vista School. The girls ,of this

hers was organised May, 1015 al the Umar
School. This club has a girl's division known
as "Betsy Ross" of sixteen members, under the
flag, constitution and bylaws of the David
Crockett Club. Meetings are held semi monthly.
' 1 am sure you will agree with tne that many
Daughters have done wisely, but tills one (Mrs.
K tester I has excelled us all. and In conclusion
I would urge the Importance of the Children of
the Republic organizations, the value to tho bors
boys ami girls and the worth of the clubs In the
life of their home city, ami tho need we may
have of all such little patriots to help keep anil
preserve us a Nation.

Mrs. James L. Smith Urges Daughter?
of the American Revolution to Pay

Taper.
Mrs. Jtmes L. Smith. State chairman of the
Daughters of the American Rerolutlon magazine
committee, reported as follows:
1 aguin come liefore you to present the claims
of our Daughters of the American Revolution
Magazine.
My report of one year ago contained n tabu
la ted statement of subscribers In each chapter
In the State, with au urgent plea that the
magazine committee of each chapter make u
• Hiivass for subscribers ami report to me not
later than January 1.
I had hoped to again be able to sdvlae you
the exact number of subscribers at this time,
for purposes of comparison, but Inquiries n l
dressed to the chairman of our National ma?H
tine committee are without response. I trust,
however, that much has been done by our local
committees, ao that a favorable report from
Washington might be possible.
Certainly the object 1m worthy of our best
endeavors, and I feel no hesitancy In urging
a more liberal and enthusiastic support of our
magazine; nor can 1 devise h more practical
