VIC. I'll. DEPARTMENT
Mrs. Maude B. Little, Editor

Marion county has gone dry! Such
was the message announced in our
state papers last week. The battle
against liquor has been a hard and
long one, but right has won and old
Marion at last has a chance to float
her colors for "God and home and ma
tive land" unmolested.
The Dade county election comes off
next week. Marion county wishes for
her the success which she herself
shared last week-that will leave only
seven counties wet.
Prohibition is strong and sure.
Statewide prohibition for Florida is
sure to follow before long. The tenn
perance sentiment is spreading very
rapidly.
From Kentucky
A fight is on for statewide and ma
tional prohibition. Science, business
and religion unite in condemning al
cohol as a curse to the race. It's leg
allied sale is criminal. It must be
destroyed. 1t is an enemy of the
home, the school and the church. Ken
lucky manhood must meet the issue.
Our loyal state must go out of the
misunderstanding business. We be-
Iieve our friendly readers utter a
hearty "amen" to this utterance.
The states through which the pro-
hibitionist may take a transcontinen-
tai journey in perfect happiness and
security after next January are
Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ok
lahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Idaho and
Washington, eight states in all, and
delightful, if somewhat unusual route
between Savannah and Seattle. There
is that corner of Wyoming in the way,
to be sure, but perhaps not for long.
When local paper comes out
strongly for prohibition it is almost
sure victory, so powerful is the press
IN all questions of the day.
The pulpit, the press and the w. G.
T. U. of Ocala made it possible for
the great victory which was ours on
Dec. 7th.
In Congress
The prohibition bills which viii
come before Congress at the present
session practically complete the pro-
gram of the temperance forces of the
nation insofar as national legislation
is concerned. Perhaps all will not be
passed; but the fight will be made
and it is not doubted that Congress
viii approve some of the measures.

Looking through the displays of the
furriers, for styles in neckpieces and
muffs which are representative of the
season, one concludes that fur sets, to
be alluring, need not run after strange
gods of fashion, For in neckwear the
fiat scarf or muller of fur, or the pelt
of the animal lined and provided with
fastening, or the short high collar,
seem to about cover the variety of tho
best sellers.
In muffs there is somewhat greater
diversity, but the moderately large,
almost round muff, the smaller round
muff and the barrel-shaped model in
clude the majority of all. They some
times are finished with tails, but often
er without, and they are smaller than
for several seasons. Otherwise there
is no decided change in styles But,
for those who insist upon novelty,
there are the small furs" of fashion.

HAVE COVER FOR THE CORN
Vegetable Loses Much of Its Delicious
Flavor if It Is Allowed to
Become Cold.

In spite of the weather in which
corn on the ear is served, the vege.
table cools off very rapidly and, there
fore loses much of its deliciousness
To preserve the good taste of the
corn it is quite essential that every
housekeeper be supplied with a corn
cover. This can be made from a
square of heavy linen with the cor
ners cut out. Finish the edge with
buttonhole scallop. On the outer flap
of the cover stamp dainty design;
wreath of eyelets and few solid
petals will be sufficient. Embroider
the word Corn" on the flap also. The
size of the case can be determined by
the size of the family-or in other
words, by the amount of corn that is
served on the table.
Similar covers with the flaps
changed slightly and possibly the
shapes differed, can be made for toast,
rolls or hot biscuit. In fact, house.
keeper cannot have too many cases for
various purposes. By making sew
eral cases from one piece of linen one
can economic in the cutting of the
material, a point always worth re-
Numbering.

IN The SEASON OF OYSTERS
Excellent Ways in Which They Can
Be Served to Those Who Are
Fond of Them.

The practical housekeeper begins to
worry as she sees her summer fruits
slipping away. She does her best TO
make good use of the fresh lima
beans, string beans, tomatoes, peaches,
pears and berries. What she cannot
serve fresh and in pies she cans and
preserves.
She worries at the idea of having
meat every day and sometimes twice
when other foods become scarce and
costly. 1t is father or perhaps one of
the big boys in the family who sug-
gests that oyster season has just be-
gun and that these are far cheaper
and more nutritious than many costly
cuts of meat.
Sauce for Raw Oysters.-Take one
dessertspoonful of tarragon vinegar,
one tablespoonful of olive oil, one
half teaspoonful of worcestershire
sauce, the juice of half a lemon and
one-half teaspoCnful of tabasco sauce.
Add a little salt and half an onion,

Oyster Cocktail.-Have oysters very
cold. Put not more than six in each
cocktail glass or sherbet cup, and just
before sending to the table cover with
dressing made in the following way:
Mix together one tablespoonful OF
mushroom catchup, two tablespoonful
of strained .emon juice, five drops OF
tabasco sauce and salt to taste. This
quantity will make three cocktails

PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
Keep Before Hens Constant Supply OF
High Protein Meat Scrap, Grit
and Fresh Water.

Keep before the hens that you are
using for winter egg production, con-
slant supply of high protein meat
scrap, complete grit, crushed oyster
shell. and supply fresh, clean water
abundantly and regularly, and see to
it that the water does not become
frozen in cold weather, as there has
been no invention forthcoming from
our geniuses in this line of industry
which will provide the chicken with
an icepick.
Animal food is extremely essential
in securing heavy winter egg yield,
and as rule, this can best be sup
piled in the form of meat scrap, as it
it the most economical and convenient
form obtainable.
Fowls greatly prefer green-cut bone,
and if it is practical, we should re-
spect our feathered friends tastes as
near as possible.

Observation-Disclosures

AS an ally to the diaphanous blouse
which continues to triumph in the
face of winter-the underbodice of
wash silk and lace is evidently des-
tined to divide nonors with it. 1t is
equally soft and attractive, and has
only made it's entry on career of USE
fulness that is to grow in Importance.
Washable silks and satins, crepe de
chine and some new silk weaves are
used, with lingerie laces, to make
these underbodices. They launder as
easily as cotton or linen fabrics and
are just as durable. With these prac-
tical attributes in their favor, and the
elegance and beauty lent by the
to anticipate their appeal to women.
Two of the most popular underbod-
ices are shown in the picture above,
both very simple in construction. Val
insertion and edging is used in com.
bination with silk and with ribbon for
making them. In one of them the
bodice is formed by sewing alternating
rows of lace and wash ribbon together
with machine stitching. In the others
a yoke is made of rows of the inser-
lion, machine stitched together and
edged with narrow lace, and having a
wide band of thin silk set on to it,
