BAD HABITS

Those who breakfast at eight o.
clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at six are almost certain
to be troubled with Indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to di-
gest before taking another. Not less
than five hours should elapse be
tween meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for a quick
recovery. These tablets strengthens
the stomach and enable it to per-
form its functions naturally. OBJ

Politicians Were Busy
But Cattle Rather Dull At Lancaster
Mondsy-Court Day

January Court Day in Lancaster,
was not very largely attended Mon
day. The crowd which was small was
quite busy one and made business
good. There were about so head of
mules on the market and those sold
brought exceptionally good prices.
The cattle were very scarce at the
Ross Stock Yards for the first time in
"a number of court days.
Politics seemed to be of more inter-
est than live stock to the majority.
Attorney Jay Harlan, of Danville,
candidate for Senator, was there with
quite number of boosters from
Boyle county shaking hands with
the voters. Attorney H. Clay Kauff-
man, of Lancaster, who is also can
didate for the same office was also
very busy all day.
Quite bit of interesting Garrard
county politics was heard during the
day. 1t was rumored that the sheriff S
ticket now in the field composed of
Arch X. Walker with V. A. Lear as
deputy, is to have opposition with a
team made up of w. l.. Lawson and
G. T. Ballard, which would prove a
strong combination. and make the
race very interesting one.
Following are a few sales made
during the day: George A. Swine
broad sold a pair of four-year-old
mules to George Brown for $3.50;
Archidean Bradshaw sold bunch of
rs sheep to Tom Traylor of this coun-
ty at $15.25 per head; Dick Gentry
bought of John Rich, of Lower Gar
rard pair of mules for $3.50; Gen.

Nice Commencement
Prof. Moser's School Will Give Two
Delightful Entertainments

February will soon be with us
again and in many schools it will
bring joy and happiness because it
is the closing time of the school year.
1t is generally the custom for each
school to celebrate the "Closing
Day" but scheme is being worked at
this year that is hoped to prove to
be a great educational value. Last
fall it was suggested by the faculty
that each should give tests at the
end of every month and all who
should secure yearly average of
rs per cent. or over were to be pro-
noted. 1t was also proposed that at
the last of school appropriate exer-
cises be held. The plans were made
and examinations were held every
month, the questions being based on
the work outlined in the syllabus. 1t
has not been customary in this part
of Kentucky for the public schools to
have an eighth grade commencement
but this is the way the Moreland
Bellevue Public and Graded school
is to celebrate it's "Closing Day."
The first annual commencement of
the eighth grade will be held at the
Christian church at 7:15 P. NJ,
Thursday evening, Feb. LIST. The
members of the class are: Betty
Elizabeth Nicholson, Lottie Merri-
man, Thelma Owens, Grace Ellis,
James Lee Pipes, Raymond Durham,
Edgar Taylor and William King.
They are young men and ladies who
any teacher or school would be proud
to give a certificate showing their
excellent merits. Everything that is
found in graduating class curricu-
lum, this one has tried to secure
They have selected Bound to Win"
as their motto; green and white as
colors; rose as flower and beautiful
class pins have been gotten. Written
invitations will not be sent, but the
faculty and class extend a cordial
invitation to all who desire to attend.
The commencement exercises will
consist of music both instrumental
and vocal; essays by each one of the
class and at the last an address by
Prof. Chas, Keith, Of Eastern, Ken.
lucky State Normal, which the school
is very lucky in securing. He is in
structor of History of that splendid
school and no doubt will bring us
splendid message.
On Wednesday evening, Jan. 81,
at HUM & Coffey hall, the eighth
grade will present their play, entitled
From Pumpkin Ridge. 1t is five
act comedy and is perfect scream
from beginning to end. There also
will be other parts to the program
that will not do to miss. Admission of
20 cents will be charged and we
think what we will give you will be
worth the money. Several expenses
are to be met and full house is
asked for.
With these exercises another very
successful term of school will close.
The teachers and pupils desire to
thank all who have helped to make
it so.
Prof. Moser leaves Immediately for
Richmond Normal and Miss Peavy-
house will go in the spring to Bow
ling Green Normal, where they desire
to grasp still more of the pedagogical
truths. They will be back in July with
more vim and vigor than ever for a
PROSPEROUS school.

New York.-These are stirring times
in clothes. The manufacturers and
shops have, prepared for rush sea-
son. 1t is their own expression that
they are actually scrambling for sup
ply to meet the demand.
The French gowns are here. New
American gowns are not only exploit
ed, but tremendously admired and
approved. The effects of those who
have taken the French silhouette and
built gowns in their own workrooms,
made of American materials, should
be commended in an entire chapter.
Some of the best houses in this
country have tried out experienced
designers and colorists in producing
several hundred gowns that are first
cousins to the French in that they
express the adopted Paris lines. Each
of the designers gives full tribute to
the fact that Paris has laid down the
laws for tho season; but every de-
signer boasts with honest pride that
the clothes nre the product of Ameri-
can study and workmanship.
In every case, the houses that
showed these American gowns called
upon theiv experienced French work
ers to produce them, and the only
ones that were successful We're the
gowns that had been given into the
hands of those who had studied the
Paris methods with reverence and
earnestness. The result was that the
clientele of these houses saw extra
ordinarily good drapery, the combina-
ton of alluring colors and an excel
lence in tailored suits that we are led
to believe is purely American.
The CoIors That Prevail.
The silhouette has been established.
Every woman now knows that her
skirt is to be narrow and her coat
long or short, provided it clings to
the figure. She knows that top coats
are as important as frocks and that
some of the best tailors offer only
sport suits and top coats to wear over
thin one-piece gowns.
She also knows that soft materials
take precedence over stiff ones; but
she has not exactly classified the va
rious colors, fabrics and accessories
that she must accept or avoid.
These are vastly important matters
to the average shopper. True, there
is class of women who go to eX-
pensiye houses that handle only few
Of the most fashionable pieces of ap-
parel and offer nothing that can lead
one into the wrong path; but this
class remains an exclusive one, and
what they do or do not do is not al
ways a guide to the mass of women
who must fight out the battle of
clothes in their own way and to whom
victory is vital.
Take colors. Who does not feel
perplexed and confused on entering a
shop where hundreds of colors are
dashed upon the vision and offered as
the latest thing? One feels that a
gigantic kaleidoscope has been run
before the eyes. The brain refuses

Plant apple trees five or six inches

If too big the storms may cause

This Helmet of Navarro is made OF
tete de negre velvet, with visor faced
with white satin. 1t is trimmed with
two large silver buckles.
entail shops are filled with bits Of fine
jade made into earrings, hair combs
and necklaces There are fans OF
peacock feathers with jade sticks and
also buckles of the Chinese quartz for
slippers. Soft gold-tissue gowns are
embroidered with jade beads, in the
Byzantine fashion.
Red flickers through the color
scheme or bursts upon the vision like
the flame from the artillery at the
front. 1t is against the accepted psy-
chology that the colors of war should
be exploited while war is on.
1t is better to be sane than foolish
when one approaches the subject of
red in clothes. The scarlet danger
sign should be put over all the coun-
ters where red fabrics are placed, and
it should be worn by the manneQuin
who parades in a red gown. 1t is
the color of conflict; it Is not the color
of peace. The woman who can wear
it we'll is thrice blessed, -sartori-
ally speaking, and she is apart from
her neighbors, because she Is a rare
type.
None of this applies to dark red.
No danger sign is needed against the
rich wine surface that brings out
what is best in a woman's complexion
and eyes. These well-known burgun-
DIV shades are offered. They come in
duvetyn, serge, satin, velvet and
and Rodier's weave of the so-called Bo-
livia cloth, which the American weav-
ers are initiating in successful way.
An Epidemic of Gray.
The world has gone on for cen
tury or two feeling that gray is the
tone of sadness and that its Quakerish
ugliness must be avoided. 1t has been
a difficult color for decades. Women
have adopted it only when the silver
sheen on its surface made It possible
This season, however, all doubts
are dispersed by the superior tones
which the dyers have impaired to the
various fabrics grouped under the
elastic name Of gray.
There is moonlight gray, which may
spell peace, but it is in close prox-
unity to ar lllery gray, which stands
for death. There is the gray Of granite
and the gray of London smoke. There
is the gray of New England sea
mist, and there is the tone that one
gets from the glitter Of cut steel.
These grays are not used alone this
season. They are combined with hori-
zon and Chinese blue, with jade and
Egyptian green, with incendie red,
Mandarin yellow and amethyst purple.

SEASON OF COMBINED C0L0RS
Fashion Is Welcomed, Especially by
NiIIiners, Who Do Not Like Solid
Black Velvet Hat.

1t is quite probable that it is to be
a season Of combined colors. This is
acceptable to the majority of women,
and even the stickler for the one-color
scheme is apt to like bit of another
color used as facing.
A year ago several of the French de-
signers brought out the double-faced
cloth and used it to achieve a good
color scheme, and this truck led to the
widespread fashion Of facing one color
with another and turning it over here
and there to give the public an idea
Of what was done.
The milliners are especially delight
ed with this fashion because it gives
them a chance to get color next to the
face. The solid black velvet hat, for
instance, which has remained in fash
ion with n startling persistency, had
Its drawbacks. There are hundreds

color scheme: Midnight blue holds its
own.
Black is in demand by those who
want to dress we'll in the afternoon

high place for street suits or frocks.
Dark Green Rivals Blue.
Dark green is a serious rival to
dark blue, and the French dressmakers
who exploited it last year are now
reaping a reward because the public
is accepting it. Know yourself we'll,
however, before touching any tone OF
green. If you're picturesque, you can
