Costume Of Women a Dirt
Catcher, Says an Authority.

A sharp criticism Of present day wo-
mems dress was made recently by the
well known hygienic authority. DR..
Toulouse Of Paris.
DR. Toulouse says that the modern
costume is an ideal dirt catcher Being
shaped like double bell, it lets In the
dust and draft both above and be-
low. He suggests that in order to pro-
tect the lower limbs the dress should
be closed below, and he thinks the jupe
culotte or harem skirt an ideal garment
from the point Of view Of health.
He also says that it Is great mis-
take that the whole weight Of the
clothing should hang from the waist,
especially when the latter is sheathed
In a rigid corset He holds that the
shoulders should be restored to their
natural function as supporters Of the
dress.

On the other hand, DR.. Toulouse finds
several good points In the styles Of the

not act as street sweepers. are obvious

reason that each superposed garment

Big Pecan Farm Deals In Albany
District.

Albany, Ga, July 1.-Two big
land deals that have just been con
summated in Doughtery county
show that the Albany pecan district
is not to be surpassed by other see
tions in its undisputed claim of hav-
ing the largest acreage devoted to
pecan culture in the world.
The Collawahee place of Col. John
P. Fort, of Athens, 8 miles south
west of Albany, has been sold to
Jesse 4 Hand, pecan people OF
Chicago, The place contains 5000
acres but the pecan people purchased
only $500 acres. The price paie
was s15an acre. Developed by the
planting of paper-shell pecan trees,
the property in a few years will
easily sell for $500 to $500 per acre,
as has been frequently shown in
similar developments inthis famous
pecan belt.
The same firm, Jesse & Hand, has
purchased the Smut Eye place, SOU
Invest Of Albany. $50 acres, from
Waxelbauln & Co., Of Macon, al
$3.50 per acre. This place also
will be planted ia pecans.
There are some other large pecan
property deals pending in this sec
ton, which if carried through, viii
add still further to the prestige Of
the Albany Pecan district.

Twelve Reasons Why You

First. They are fairly good hui

Second, They are one Of our most
nutritious feeds for stock.
Third. The peas are worth from

from one to three tons per acre.
Fifth. If left on the land and
turned under, the vines are worth
from So to $15 per acre fertilizer.
Seventh. The vines, roots and
