Fresh Vegetables
Aid To Health

1t is well-knOwn fact that fresh
vegetables make up very small
part of the diet of the Southern
! farmers family. 1t is impossible
to make an accurate estimate OF
the value of the vegetables which
may be grown in home gardens III
the South, but it is safe to say that
a well-kept garden will yield a re-
turn eight to ten times as great as
the return from an equal area de-
voted to cotton or to other general
farm crops. Of even greater lm-
portance than the money value OF
the products of the garden is the
satisfaction of having a bountltul
supply of vegetables close at hand
they can be secured at a moment 5
notice.
Vegetables and fruits furnish a
large part of the essential salts
which are absolutely necessary to
the well-being of the human sys-
ten, so that the value of vegetables
in the diet is a great deal more than
the mere food or money value. The
need of tonics and other medicines
i'll the spring is due largely to the
lack of vegetables and fruit in the
winter diet. If more sucCulent
food were available, less money
would be spent in Doctors fees
and for medicines.
Fresh vegetables from the home
garden are not subjected to ex-
posture on the market and are not
liable to infection. Many vegeta-
bles lose their flavor within a few
hours after gathering. The home
vegetable garden is worthy of
greatly increased attention by the
Southern farmer, and a larger
number and greater variety of crops
should be grown in the garden

The big dance, and the first Of
the season, which was given by
the Citizens Concert Band, We'd
nesday night at the French Hall
proved to be a success, both fnan-
cially and socially. The attendance
was large, even though the wealth
er turned off very cool and at one
time threatened to rain.
The band played several pieces
on the outside of the hall, and
soon the dancers began to arrive.
The music was furnished by the
Band, the orchestra, and by Mr..
Jimmie Sheldon, the popular piano
player.
The affair was directly for the
benefit of the band, and the boys
are very thankful for the appre-
citation shown by the people.
Refreshments were sold during
the course of the evening, and by
the time the dancing was over the
refreshments were sold out.
Many of those present compli-
mented the band boys on their
efforts and suggested that the boys
give dances often, that they may
enjoy an evening, stepping to the
strains of the music played by the
band.
