Food And Feed.

a report from Decatur county shows
the cost Of feeding convict to be
81 " per month while the cost of feed
ing a mule is $lS.03 per month. State
prison comissions requirements were
met in the bill OF fare provided for the
convict, and it is evident that he is
eating home grown products. but the
disparity in the cost would lead one
to suppose that the contrary might
be the case in the feeding of the mule,

Of course however that there is more
milk than that used in the villages and

many of our great men and some
great events. No school child is al
lowed to forget that Lincoln and
Washington were both born in Febru-

also to remember the birthday of the
state, and in recalling the history of
this event one can never omit honor
to the great Oglethorpe who ranks
with William Penn and Roger Will

in American history; nor should we
forget those other names associated
with his, the great Indian chief Tom

Knitted Suits to Be Among the

Wool and Silk Are Combined in
Dresses Which Have Marks or
Designers Models.

Domino patterns in sweaters and
suits are very much the fashion, notes
a fashion writer in the New York
Tribune. This effect is obtained by
using silk and wool Of the same COLOR
in tiny alternating squares.
A three-piece knitted suit in domino
pattern is of silk and wool. The blouse
top of the dress is all of silk deli
cately trimmed with a sort of knitted
wool braid. Both the skirt and the
jacket, the latter in Chinese mandarin
form, show the domino pattern.
Wool Jersey suits for sports are
made with borders in angOra effect
called laine gratee. There are inter
esting new knitted dresses which
have all the marks Of d~ressmaker-
made models. Very attractive are
those Of white silk with beautifully
wrought patterns in white wool.
Some attractive suits are of knitted
wool in brown, beige and black, in
chine effects. These consist of two
pieces, a skirt and a straight box coat,
the bottom of the coat being in loose
girdle effect with brown bands.

Brown, which is often considered

when deciding on the exact shade the

Use to Be Popular.

Millinery trade authorities agree
that this spring will be a season Of

strongly to somber effects than to
harmonizing contrasts.
Reds, especially berry, and the full
family of browns top the list of pop
ular hues at the moment, and give
promise Of holding their position
throughout the entire season. The call
for the various reds is accepted as a
reaction from a season Of blues, and
the favored %cOlorings include all the
red, rose and pink shades. Lanvin
green continues in favor, and fog gray

COLCRS WOMEN MAY WEAR
Black Becoming to Those of Fair
Complexion; Blue Flattering
Shade; Pink, Youthful.

There is an idea very general among
women that wearing black has an age
,ng effect on the appearance, but this
IS far from the case. Naturally with
black, as with every other shade, Il
great deal depends upon individual col
oring, but a fair woman, provided her
| complexion is not sallOw, often looks
considerably younger in black than she
would in some bright color. The ma
terial chosen should not, of course. be
very thick and heavy, as heavy black
materials are very som~ber-loOking and
therefore far from youthful in appear
ance.
With few exceptions, blue is the
most flattering color any woman can
wear, and unless she is unfortunate
enough to have chosen the wrong
shade n woman will always look young
er in a blue gown than in any other
color. Very fair women, with ash
shades Of blue, light tones Of SAKE and
gray-bluee, while those with dark or

his guide:
"'How long did 1t take TO run up
