Stradley. commissioner of public institutions, because by us ing tho commodities produced on the county farming lands udjotning the institutions, last month it was possi ble to feed tho inmates of the various homes at an average cost ot 9.93 cents each per meal, according to tho reports tiled with Oeo. A. Digges, reg ister of deeds by tho commissioner. These figures weru obtained from reports which tho superintendents of the various institutions filed covering the amount of food stuff purchased during tho month, and In which the commodities produced on tho fnrmi were figured nt regular market rates. The reports are required of those in charge of the different places, state tho number of meals served, amount of provisions on hand from lust month, amount purchased during the month, and the amount on hand the last day of tho month, therefore It is easy to arrive nt the total amount consumed during any given time. When the commissioner was ques tioned concerning how ho had made it possible to feed the inmates at an average price so low as 9.93 cents, and as to what they were fed. he answered that tho superintendents of the ver lous institutions had been instructed to show any visitor every courtesy and to show them over the entire buildings and grounds, also that the reports which indicate the kind of food used are placed in the register's office and open to tho inspection of the public. It was pointed out, however, that tho great quantity of pure milk used, helps materially in keeping down tho feeding cost, for the cows are kept on tho farms and thus at little expense. Three Holsteln cows at the children's home produced Sfio gallons of milk and more butter than was needed for the table and great quantities were used in cooking. At the boys' re formatory two grade cows gave 180 gallops, at the children's home one grade cow gave 60 gallons and at camp No. 3 a grade, cow gave a like amount. Thus it Is that the cow has helped solve the problem of the h. c. I., at the county Institutions. Not orily has the cow figured ex tensively in reducing tho cost of eat ing, or rather feeding, for many hogs have been raised at very llttlo cost owint; to the fail iliey were fed on waste materials. Kacli farm, camp or Institution raises its own meat which allovlates tho necessity of paying the present day high prices for this food. In going over the reports which were submitted covering tho month of November it Is found thnt 1.540 meals were served nt the boys' reformatory, at an average cost of 9.3 cents. Su perintendent I!. H. Bdwards reported that the boys appeared well satisfied and that everything at the reforma tory was In good condition. At tho childrens' homo 2,0(19 meals wero served at an average cost of five cents, this being the lowest llgure gj from any of the Institutions. Miss Emma Dnnnahoc, in the report stated1 that all tho inmates of the home were pleased and that there had been very llttlo illness among the children. J. I.. McIIone, superintendent at the county homo reported 3,368 meals served, at an average cost of 11.0 cents. Recently tho grand Jury and; E committees from several civic organl- zations have visited the homo and all' nave reported that tho Inmates wero well cared for and well fed. At the Juil tho average cost per meal was 8.75 cents, according to the report of Jailer Ed, Williams. Convict camp No. 3, L. II. Presley, steward, reported 2,067 meals served, at an average cost of 15 cents. These meals cost more than those at any otner or tne public institutions, ow ing partly to the fact that commodi ties have to bo purchased at various places, lie who thinks that the con victs are not well fed should go out and have a meal with tho Sandy Mush "boys," said a man who recently ac companied the county commissioners to tho camp and had a meal there. "Fresh baok bone and Nparo ribs, candled yams, mashed potatoes, rice, macaroni, fresh butter, applo pie, family style, home-made molasses and Jelly, with one's choice of sweet milk, buttermilk, or coffee, also a choice of corn bread or flno hot bis cuits, was tho menu, not for a family reunion dinner, but at tho convict camp one day last week," said the man talking about how the camp af fairs were conducted. Tho commissioners appeared very much gratified over the reports for last month concerning the county's publio institutions and said that visits and suggestions from the people at large would be appreciated.

St ike IMPROVEMENTS MADE ON DIXIE HIGHWAY Many Link Are Being Finished lu Kentucky Detroit to Knoxville In 2 Honrs.' Information was received last night at the Board of Trado from the sec retary of tho Dixie Highway associa tion, V. D. L. Robinson, that Rock castle county, Kentucky, has com pleted the grade of seven miles be tween Livingston and Rockcastle river, which will ellmlnato tho dim cult crossing of Oauley mountain, heretofore the almost Impossible piece of road on the eastern branch of the Dixie Highway between Knoxville and Lexington, Kentucky. This grade will be allowed to settle this winter and be surfaced in the spring. The entire mileage In Laurel county has been gradod ready for surfacing In tho spring, and the bridge across the Saxton river in Whitley county has been placed. Funds are in hands, Mr. Robinson states, to complete the en tire line of the eastern branch so as to bo ready for the dato set for the official opening Juno to. IBiO, by the directors at their May meetings m Chattanooga last May. This Information from- Mr. Robl son is borne out by a statement in a - oommunication from JY R. Willlama, of Knoxville. in which he says that on Novombor 13 I. V. Price of Rog. ersvillo, drove a Dodge car from De troit over the Eastern branch of the , Dixie Highway coming via Cincinnati, Lexington. Crab Orchard, Livingston, London, -Wlliamsburg, Jellico and La. Follette. He states there was consid erable mud In places where grading was fresh, but the bad places were . short He made the distance from Detroit' to Knoxville in 89 hours, which means an enormous saving in 1 time and mileage over the other route In driving from Detroit into this ter ritory. The actual - distance t saved will amount to about 250 miles. . This information, declared the sec retary of the Asheville Board of Trade last ntght. will be of greatest interest -to all persons who may have cause to . motor north, and to the business in terests of Western North Carolina, in view of the largely added travel that will come over tho Dixie Highway. , A PERFECT DINNER can bo fittingly finished with a perfect cup of coffeeand we recommend Capitol Brand roasted and ground on our premises.. ?.. - ' ; " !.
