Whiskey has always been one of
the most successful agencies for fill
ing collins, some for the millionaires
lot, but more for the paupers field.
Now that successful war has been
waged against the Hun, it would seem
that the allied armies ought to be
able to put the middlers and gossip

Yes, and there are some little fell
lows in this country who have wrap
ped themselves in the American flag,
and under the cover of patriotism
have ben hiding some mighty crook

uncover some of their grating
schemes.

Cotton Crop in Cobb

The ginning report up to December LIST showed l4ol4
bales of cotton gnned in Cobb County, and up to the
same date last year only 1012 bales had been gmned
This puts the county far more than 1000 bales a
head of year. while the whole state is only about lZo
600 bales ahead of last year.
We therefore presume that Cobb has a much better
than an average crop and if the farmers get above thry
cents for it, it will leave them in good condition
Twenty thousand bales of cotton at thirty cents per
pound amounts three million dollars without the seed
which are worth nearly million more
When we add this the and produce, and hogs
raised on the farms of Cobb may easily that the
business Cobb County farmers is well worth advertls-
ing for.

 Now Is the Time to Can Peaches
 Any Bridgeport housewife contem- plating putting down winters sup ply of peaches should do so imme- diately. Wholesalers state that the lowest price on peaches has passed and they will very likely be higher. A very fine quality Elberta peach is costing the retailer $3$3.25 a crate of 24 quarts or 12 1-2-13c quart, Hiley Bellies are a thing of the past and this week will finish the season on Georgia Bellies. Both Bellies are white peaches, free stone, and the Georgia Bellies are selling at $2.75-s3 for a good quality peach. Poorer grades can be purchased under these figures.
 The potato situation has apparently settled and the local supply is selling

freely at $6 barrel or about 55c peck. Other new potatoes are selling from $5.50 to $6.50 a barrel or 50-6Oc a peck.
 This morning saw the first local cu- cumbers on the Farmers Market on Wall street. These were readily sold at $1.75 a crate of approximately 90 cukes or about Pc each. The supply is very likely to increase materially during the week.
 Beets sold verey freely this morning at 25-30 punches for $1.0O. The sup ply was insufficient and many huck- sters were unable to get their daily supply.
 Peas are scarce and soon will be withdrawn from the list. Second picking" peas of poor quality brought $2.50 a bushel or about Sc a quart.
 Berries of all kinds were scarce but tomorrow will probably find a good supply of all kinds. A few crates of entrants brought the grow CT from 6-17c quart basket Cur rants make fine jelly and quantities should be immediately bought for this purpose.

The Home Comfortable

Avoid waste by caring for food tstuffs. Don'tkeep unperishable foods in a hot kitchen, pantry or in a sunny place a moment longer than is neces- sary. A dry cold is a better preserva- tive than damp cold. The dust parti- cles in the air carry mold and germs and so it is best to always cover any food that is left standing any length of time. Meat, fish, milk and fruit are ideal breeding grounds for germs and the moment they begin to get warm they begin to spoil.
 Keep perishable foods in the cool est, cleanest places you can provide, preferably in a good refrigerator or ice house. Heat, dampness, poor ven tiIation, brusing or breaking of the skin will rapidly make many vegeta- bles rot, ferment, or spoil. Also warmth and light make vegetables sprout and this lowers their quality.
 Don't let fresh vegetables or fruits wilt or lose their f1avors because they are handled carelessly. Keep most vegetables in a cool, dry, well-aired dark place. This Is better for most vegetables than light place or where

SANDWICHES FOR PICNICs.

Try this for sandwich: Butter your slices of bread thin, spread with peanut butter, then on top of that thin layer of deviled ham. We like it for a change, as the ham takes off for some the rather strong flavor of the peanut and the latter takes off the spicy flavor of the ham.
 Fig and Nut Sandwiches-Cut figs into small pieces (after washing them), stew until tender, chop with English walnuts using some of the juice they were stewed in to moisten them. Sweeten to taste. Spread between thin slices of buttered bread

ANDROMACHE

Andromache was the wife of the valiant Hector, son of Priam, King of Troy, and the mother of Astyanax, After the death of Hector, and the destruction of Troy, B. C., 11S4, she was given to Pyrrhus, son of Achilles, and one of the most celebrated Greek warriors, who married her. She had nine children by Pyrrhus, and some historians are of the opinion that all the kings of Epirus, to that one who made war against the Romans, were descended from a son of An dromache. This princess had seven brothers who were killed by Achilles, together with their father, on one day. It is said that she accompanied Priam when he went to request Achilles to sell him the body of Hec- tor. Andromache is said to have been of very large stature, but though her beauty would never have made her celebrated like Helen of Troy, the beauty of her character has given her a much nobler celebrity.

Tone uD Your Muscles by Exercise, Then Try Tennis.

carriage, adopted carelessly through mere whims, have had sometimes very ugly results. From being a tenn porary affectation they have become longer the fashion to droop as though one were wasting away, many girls write me eagerly demanding to know how they can regain theif old-time erect and athletic posture.
 Happily our muscles are so much the children of exercise that with a little practice one may prrect almost any fault of position or carriage up to a reasonable age. There is no ex- cuse for any young woman to be round-shouldered or hollow-chested, to walk with dropping head or drag ging feet. If any of these downright defornlities happen to be "the vogue" in her set, then the wise young person defiies fashion for once, and main tains her straight, broad-chested fig ure and elastic step.
 The exercise for regaining an erect carriage and good chest development depend so some extent on each indi- vidual, and how difficult her particu- lar care may be. But every one can adopt some form of exercise, varying in strenuousness.
 Outdoor games are another excel lent method of accomplishing the same result. The games shouldn't be very violent at first. Tennis, for ex- ample, is an excellent exercise, for it brings into play so many muscles But it must he played rapidly and strenuously in order to make both game and exercise worth while. For this reason, tennis isn't the best ex- ercise for beginners in atheltic devel- opment. It is for some too violent, too taxing at first. Build up your muscles first by such exercises as those described below.
 A simple exercise for correcting
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-15

round shoulders is the following:
 Stand erect with your feet nearly together and the palms of your hands brought together above your head. Then throw your hands and forearms backward, keeping your arms on line with your shoulders, the elbows bent, and turn the palms forward. Repeat the first position and this seo- ond figure 10 times. This is a simple exercise which one can take without undue exertion on hitherto idle or dropping muscles, and it will help to correct the round-shoulder tendency.
 Another simple exercise for correct ing the flat chest is:
 Stand with your feet almost to- gether, chin down, arms down and with the backs of the hands touching each other in front. Then raise the arms, bringing them upward in front to the shoulder line. At the same time raising the chin with the arms until the head is erect. Most important is the breathing ex- ercise that goes with these motions. As you raise your hands begin to in hale forcibly, and when the hands are raised slowly to the head hold the breath as long as possible. Ex- hale quickly when bringing the arms down.
 This double exercise of shoulders 1 and lungs help to force out the chest graudally If you will repeat it sev- eral times daily it will do wonders.
 But you must put a task on your mind, too, if you seriously wish to correct round shoulders and fiat l,chest. Don't depend on the exercises alone to correct your tendency. Bear 1 in mind always that if you want to
 improve your carriage, never let your
 shoulders droop during the day, and
 try to take deep, regular 'breaths out
 doors as often as you can. Long
 walks, with your need always in mind, will also US1.

hold the fullness in place.
 Only two and three-Quarters yards of the voile would be needed to copy this pretty blouse, with yard and a half of white plating. This plait- ing may be purchased all ready to use at any good notion shop and gives a professional touch to the homemade blouse.
 Another pretty slip-on blouse that was cool and summery was made of lavender and white black voile, and was trimmed with plain lavender or gandie. This blouse had the new oval neck and was finished with T roll collar of organdie, opened on both shoulders. Very fine lace edged the organdie, and made a most at tractive little blouse.
 Pink organdie in pale shade fash toned another dainty blouse that the business girl will like for summer days A long tucked bosom of white lawn was set into the front of the blouse like a mans 'dress'' shirt. A Peter Pan collar and turn-back cuffs of the white were also used, while the rest of the blouse was in pink. As an added touch of smart ness there was a black silk bow tie.
 This same model may be developed in pale green voile with a white bos- om, or checked voile in collar color would be lovely with white trim mings.
 Nothing is more dainty and mex penstve than these pretty slip-on blouses for the business girl. The voile lends itself admirably to this [ type of waist, and the striped and del icate colorings add to the charm. A l true war time economy are these love- | ly blouses.
