MEtT TONIGHT
Members of Signal Bat
talion to Talk Over
War Days
Houston members of the 111th
signal battalion attached to tbe 36th
division in France will tneet tonight
at th Salvation Army ball. 305 Man
Jacinto street a ad discuss war days
' in France with H. H. Kline adjutant
in the Salvation 'Army who wn the
first Salvationist to be recognized by
the Ignited States government in the
world war. He waa with tbe 111th
signal battalion as chaplain and first
lieutenant. Seventy members of the
buttnlion hav their homes here and
knew Adjutant Kline in Prance.
During the meetings plans will be
discussed whereby the ex-service men
may aid the Salvation Army in its'
appeal for a $28000 building fund.
Adjutant Kline has bad a long
career with the Salvation Army and
coined the now famous phrase "a
man may be down but he ia never
out." The manner in which he went
to France caused him to jump into
national prominence. He was mak-
ing a recruiting speech one day when
the governor of Nebraska heard him
and through the governor's influence
his age was waived. He is white-
haired. The interest that the ex-service
men are taking in the army's appeal
made the support almost solid.
Wednesday Jesse Jones capitalist
made a large donation to the appeal
and on the same day the"Garment
Workers of Houston local No. 31
aent a large check.
Mr. Jones' contribution was report-
ed by Judge Chester H. Bryan. A. E.
Amermann and H. A. Halverton.
These are a part of a committee to
obtain large advance gift for the fund.
Others on this committee are H. C.
SchuhmncheY. S. F. Carter Jr. Allie
Anderson and George Kepple. The
majority of this committee are on
the armv's advisory board.
Mr. Halverton is president of the
board and Mr. Schnhmarher is vice
president. These men expect to ex-
plain to the wealthy that the Salva-
tion Army's cause is just and should
be supported.
Rickey Breaches
On 'Christianity'
At Tabernacle
Declaring that the occurence at
tbe Houston Ministerial Alliance
meeting Monday morning in which
worn or toe iticney revival was
criticised by at least ouC Houston
minister was unfortunate and that his
work is constructive and not antagon-
istic to that of regularly established
churches Hev. Raymond T. Kichey
preached Wednesday night on the
"Professing and Possessing Chris-
tian." Any one might profits Christianity
the revivalist declared but it takes an
Infusion of the true spirit of Chris-
tianity for one to possess religion.
The mere going to church an out-
ward observance does not constitute
Christianity he declared.
A crowd estimated at 0000 people
attended the meeting. About 180
made religious decisions. Several peo
ple claimed to have been nsaled of
bodily ailments.
Testimony of people who declared
they had received Divine healing in
bygone years and at other places
than the Ilichey revivals was heard
One man stated that he was healed
of an affliction 40 years ago and it
had never troubled him since.

Girls who are otherwise beauti-
ful attractive and clever but
through no fault of theirs are sub-
ject to embarrassing and popularity
ruining body odors too often fail
to realize the seriousness of trying
to "drown" them by using perfumes
or strong deodorants.
Perspiration is necessary. Don't
even think of checking it It is the
only means of carrying off a big
proportion of the poisonous waste
which the system has to throw oft
every hour to keep you healthy.
But you can absorb this persnira
tion by simply dusting the body
with the exquisitely fragranced
Black and White Talcum Powder
which keeps moisture from satu
rating your clothing and chafing
your skin. .
Black and White Talcum is fra
granced with the alluring odor of
"Incense of Flowers" perfume
which will keep you smelling "fresh
and clean" yet it is economically
priced in liberal 25c sifter cans. All
dealers can. supply it to you.

Tcxa man. living at 201 X. K. Sec
ond street that city while tnlking re
cently with The Plant Juice Man.
Hut anyway this fnend recom
mended Plant Juice so highly that
decided to try it and now since '
have taken I'lnnt Juice it is my hon
est opinion I hut this friend of mine
did not praise Plant Juice half enough
n unite of the wonderful thinrR be
said about it and what it could do.
"Yes Plant Juice surely helped me
My stomach had gotten so bad and
waa so sore that I could hardly stand
it for mv clothing to touch me.
suffered from indigestion awful pnln
in my stomach and attacks of sag.
And my kidneys hurt me all the time.
Finally I got so weak that 1 could
not get out of bed. 1 kept undergo-
ing treatment but did uot get any
better.
Inen finally this friend told nie
about Plant Juice and I started tak
ing it and now. I actually believe that
this medicine is the greatest blessing
that has ever come to lexas. Since
I have taken Plant Juice my stomach
has improved so much that I can eat
anything I faut and I have gained
10 pound in weight. And I nevor
have a sign of kidney trouble.
"The real truth js that your Plant
Juice has completely restored me to
health and that is certainly worth
more to me than all the money in the
world and I want to go on record as
publicly indorsing Plant Juice."
The Plant Juice Man is at the Conrt
House Pharmacy Congress and Fan-

and explaining the merits of this rem
edy. Free samples given.
