Thinks Colorful Pajamas Will Soothe Insane Minds Paul Poiret, author-dressmaker, hav ing created gorgeous costumes for some of the most celebrated and con spicuous women of the entire world, now has been called into consultation by a physician to design pajamas for lunatics. On behalf of his mental patients, Dr. Houlouse, who long ha.', believed that neurasthenics must not be seclud ed in somber rooms with bare, dark walls, is of the opinion that bright and original pajamas would make the world seem rosier to them. Dr. Toulouse already has had ex cellent results with rose and blue col or schemes in room and wall decora tions, and has found that gaudy friezes have brought calm and serenity to many of his worst patients. The progressive doctor would now remove all traces of gloom from the uniform of the patients, and has sug gested to the master of haute couture that "something in a jazz design, or roses of heroic size, or nursery pic ture prints might go well and please the patients.” Poiret long has been an admirer of the pajama and is agreed with the doc tor that this medium is the most ac ceptable, nor does he deny the right to a mode of their own for persons not Materials as well as colors will as sume importance in the new business of dressing the insane, as some patients have a preference for the "feel” of silk, chiffon and satin, while others prefer the sensations attendant upon the "touch” of burlap, canvas and fur.

MORE OR LESS TRUE The only thing worse than getting little things ready for a birl baby and having the stork bring a boy is having that pesky bird bring twin boys. There's always something to be thankful for, and we’re glad when women quit using lace for triming they didn’t try to save the lace busi ness by using it on men’s clothes. It’s queer how the people who de mand easy-riding cars and good roads seem to go out of their way .to make the matrimonial journey as rough as possible. The honeymoon is over when she decides what the driver needs is help in his driving instead of the hugging she has been giving him. No one is ever more fooled than the young fellow who thinks, from the ads, that wearing such little things must mean that it doesn’t cost much to keep a girl clothed and his salary will be plenty big enough To hear some women talk these days would think washing their hair was a bigger job than mother had washing the family’s clothes. The highest compliment any wife can pay a husband is to say, if she had it to do over again she’d still rather take him than risk getting something worse We suppose the only thing most women tune out on as quickly as man does a crooner is a woman giv ing a spiel on cooking. POULTRY THRIVES BEST WHEN GIVEN GREEN FEED When green feed is added as a sup plement to the regular poultry ration, the birds grow better and lay more eggs. All the vitamins essential for growth and health can be made av ailable if a variety of green feed is used "Legumes and the tender green crops of the garden are all rich in vitamins and food for poultry,” says C. J. Maupin, poultry extension spe' cialistoat State College. "Alfalfa, clovers, lespedela, rape, soybeans, lectuce, tender cabbage- collards, kale and young oats, wheat, barly or rye are some of the crops liked by poultry and valuable to them in de veloping growth and increasing egg production. We have found that young lettuce, has cured a run-down condition in hens. Green alfalfa, fed liberally, has been reported as check ing the deaths of poultry due to poor feeding. Where the birds are given white corn, they need the food pro perties found in legumes and other green stuff.’ Subscribe to The Watchman I STATEMENT ROWAN MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY SALISBURY, N.
