Get=Rich=Quick Wallingford said: “ It always helps some to remember that in this big United States people have been saving up money for years, just waiting for me to come and get,it.” Which led to this reflection: “ I’ve never taken a fall out of the insurance game, and it sounds good. Ten oents seems like a piker game, but when we’ve got 250,000 members, that trifling ante amounts to $25*000 a month.” The conclusion is a live-wire story of credulous savers and an unscrupulous spender; it is the second story in MR.

Dec. 6.—Tho local buslnei* work! 1* now beginning to prepare for the readjustment that must take place on cer- tain commercial Ilnea with the advent of the prohibition regime that will begin the first day of the new year, filpre the first little flurry following the passage of the nntl-Uquor measure by the legislature ln*t summer there hare been but few ex presslona of anticipated Inconveniences In the local business world, and tbe subject has hardly been discussed In Augusta. Local business men are prepared to accept the situation In good spirit And have uo fear of the consequences. As a result of the enactment pf the pro* htbltlon law ninety-three saloons will be put out of business in Augusta and In ad dition one brewery. About one-half of this number are situated in desirable location* on Broad street, the principal business thor oughfare. The dosing of these saloons will mean a loss In revenue to the city through llcenaeg of $37,000. The loss In property tax will amount to approximately $7,600, while coun ty, state and United States revenue will suffer to the extent of approximately $25,000, License tax from other business that will supplant the saloons will reduce this greatly. About 800 persons will flud It neoerary to seek other employment.

Macon, aa., Dec, 0.—When the state of Georgia goes dry January 1, there will be rlghty-slx bar rooma In Macon that wilt close their doors and go out of business and twelve wholesale liquor houses will do likewise, A proposition that faces the new ad ministration Is the making up of $!0,- 000 worth of taxes that will be taken out of Macon when the state goes pro hibition, and the mayor-elect. Judge A. L. Miller, and his twelve new aldermen, aro now at work on various plans by which they will be able to make up tills deficiency. South Bend Got Dates Con fused and Must Do It All Over. The best laid plans of mice and men oft slip a cog and tear up all the ma chinery, is an axiom of some force and merit, as may be verified by the result of atj« election for Justice of the peace held in the .South Bend district on Wednesday last and In which P. B. Hopkins received the majority of the votes. But the unsuspecting voters were not aware that an’election for* justice of the peaee held on any day In the week except Saturday is null .and void. Such is the law, however. Just why It Is nobody seems to know, probably not even the man who framed the act. As to the slip of the cog. There are those who say that the election was held on, the same day of the city elec tion In the economy -of time, remember ing that the days of prohibition draw nl"h. An election necessitates the clos ing of saloons, and, |n order to avoid another day’s delay, is said to be the reason why the hurry-up call was given the J. Pw election. And there’s where the cog slipped. Judge Wilkinson declares that he had entirely lost sight of the fact that the election should be held on Satur day and did not hesitate to call it on r the same* day the city election was held. The ordinary will call another elec tion at an early date, but it Is the gen eral opinion that, having once express ed themselves, the people , will let It go by default and allow Judge Wilkin son to appoint Mr. Hopkins to the of fice which he has already, though Ilia- gaily, been elected.

Food Is called for and, if proper In quality and quantity, the tissues are repaired as fast as mental and physical ac. tivity breaks them down. This is life.
