New City Council Begins
Work of Overcoming
Obstacle.
Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Oa., Dec. 21.—At a meeting
of the license and tax and the finance
committees of the alderraanlc board,
held Thursday night In the council
chamber, the subjects of licenses and
finance for the new year were brought
up and discussed at length.' The va
rious saloons of the city swelled the
treasury with a tax of $500 each for the
paaL and in view of the prohibition
enactment the city officials are busy
devising plans to make good the deficit.
Front present Indications, there will be
but few lockers In the city, and reve
nue must come from other quarters.
That the deficit will be met with ease
Is the opinion of many, for the aider-
men are men of exceptional business
ability.
Some suggestions have already been
made looking toward the equalising of
license duties so that the burden In
the future will fall more properly where
It belongs. Heretofore soda fountains
have been assessed equally, no matter
how many openings each had, but a
move Is now being made to assess each
stand so much. Fountains under this
system will pay In proportion to the
number of openings. Many other
changes are to be 'made, some provld
Ing for a reduction of. licenses, but In
the majority of' cases there will be
changes toward an increase.

The new city directory makes Interesting
reading, despite the fact that It mentions
the names of so many people with whom
one Is not well acquainted. From It may be
gleaned all manner of Interesting statistics.
For Instance, the books says there are 893
Smiths at work In Atlanta. The family of
Jones comes second, with a working popula
tlon of 517. The third largest family yoti
would never guess. Not Broivns or Greens,

of a whole page of Johnsons. If the latter

Breath perfumes do not strike at the
root of the evil. They only conceal the
odor for a time. But charcoal kills
the gas that causes the odor, purifies
the food lying ’ in your stomach and
Intestines, facilitates the procee of di
gestion, acts as a mild laxative, gives
tone to the system: In short, gives you
i clean blit of health. And all the
harcoal necessary to obtain these re
sults you can get in a box of Stuart’s
Charcoal Lozenges, price 26c. .
The uses of charcoal are many. In
art and electricity It Is constantly used,
but It is especially valuable where ah-
As an -absorbent and disinfectant It ha-,
no equal. That la why you will In
variably find It In every water-filter.
Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges arc made
from pure willow charcoal, with a
slight mixture of honey to render them
p.alataole. They will filter your blood
for you, destroy every particle of
poison and Impurity, absorb all the

clean breath, and relieve you from the
awkward feeling you are bound to have
when you detect by the expression ot
other people that they smell your bad
breath. Many who are fond of onions
avoid eating them because of the odor
they leave. One of Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges Immediately kills this, how
ever. The same applies to smoking,
