Georgia is the latest state to enact a compulsory ,,bool attendance law. Such an act was passed by the Georgia legislature and approved by Governor Harris August 19, 1916.
 The main features of this law are thus reviewed in an editorial in the Atlanta Journal:

They will be new problems, most Of

solution new thinking, fresh courage

There is no article OF diet that has
increased In use during the last few
years so rapidly as fruit. when fresh
fruits are expensive and difficult to
obtain. dried fruits may well take their
place. Among the dried fruits. dates,
figs and prunes hold conspicuous
place. They combine so admirably
with many ingredients that the house
keeper finds them OF inestimable value
in great variety OF dishes. covering a
wide range in cookery Some recipes

OF increasing the use OF dried fruits.
