The serving Of undeveloped or SQUAD

because such chickens, IL kept four

A three-pound broiler or fryer Of one
OF the utilit- breeds reaches this
weight with a relatively less consump-
ton OF feed than the chicken which
has been kept until q weighs four or
five pounds. Up TO three pounds,
moreover. chickens Of utility breeds
make their flesh most effectively from
feed. Above three pounds, every
pound Of gain requires for its pro-
duction about twice as much feed.

Face powder is more expensive than

But, really. the high cost OF primp-

We aren't getting anything like the
amount OF complexion beautiiers

old ante-bellum days. The Gauls arc

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20.

This is a quiet day. according TO the
astrologers, in which il is wise to pur-
sue routine affairs. While Mercury is
strongly adverse, Jupiter is in benefic
aspect.
It should be a most fortunaee day
for all who are engaged in CONNER:
cial affairs. Plans made under this
planetary rule should be successful.
There is a sway encouraging to large
enterprises that will be conducted un-
der novel conditions. This has been
interpreted as possibly to reconstruc-
tive work among the destroyed towns
and villages of Europe.
While the conditions are promising
for outlining work for the future and
even for choosing business associates,
leases. contracts and agreements
should not be signed Under this rule.
II is not a fortunate day for matters
depending on publicity, as the group
mind is not easily Influenced.

ditions that will be exceedingly costly
