Atlanta, Ga.. April 15.—Atlanta is
talking of going into the telephone
business. Alderman J. N. Nutting of
the 8th ward has introduced a resolu
tion providing that a special commit-
tte be appointed to investigate the
Requisition by the city of the proper
ties of the Atlanta Telephone and
Telegrajh Company, which are now In
litigation.
The object of Alderman Nutting's
proposal is two-fold. In the first
place, he thinks it would be a good
idea to have a municipality owned tel
ephone plant, and too. he thinks it
would be a splendid nucleus for a dis
tributing system for street lighting
current and wires for the police and
Pre alarm system that the city is
obliged to maintain. In the opinion of
.dr. Nutting, th- city could operate a
tele phone system at far less expense
than the company is row operating it,
because it would not be obliged to pay
dividends, and he thinks it would be
Ido to reduce rat=s and increase the
number of subscribers.
The main point in his argument,
however, is the use of telephone con
duits for the purpose of carrying mu
nicipal wires both for street lighting
purposes and for various alarm sys-
t- ms. which the city is obliged to
maintain. This would give the city a
plant from which the revenue received
ft cm telephone subscribers would un
doubtedly pay the expenses of t!i« up-
Ke-:p of the city wires, and perhaps
leave something for profit. The mat
ter has been referred to the city at
torney as to the legal phases of the
proposition. The city attorney has
advised that from a legal standpoint
there is no obstacle in the way, ex
cept that the city would have to buy
the company's property instead of
t uying its stock. It would have to buy
the entire property outright and could,
if it desired, assume the bonds or pay
them ofT entirely. The matter is be
ing investigated now,, and it is quite
possible that a serious effort will be
made to acquire the proptrties of this
company if it can be done reasonably.

Klberton, Ga.. April 15.—The rail

and other necessities for the railroad
last Sunday, and a lot of the home
boys decideil to take a ride on the
Klberton & Eastern. They went as
far as the camp above Dry Fork
Creek. The railroad authorities were
short of hands and they put the boys
to work. They say they paid well for
their ride. As they were nearing their
home in the afternoon, they did not
wait for the train to stop, but picked
their places, jumped off and made
their way home for dinner and to
rest. The boys say they enjoyed
the work and the trip fine.

Rockville, Md.. April 15. — What
promises to be one of the most nota
ble criminal (trials that has taken
place here in a long time was begun
this morning, when Norman Bruce
McCleary was arraigned in court to
be tried for the alleged murder of
Mrs. Nannie B. Henry of Hagerstown,
mother of his former sweetheart. Miss
Lupah Henry. The case was brought
here on change of venus from Wash
ington county.
Mrs. Henry was choked to death
about the fifteenth day of last August,
and several days later her body was
found lying across a bed in her home
at Hagerstown. At the request of the
Hagerstown authorities McCleary, a
young man of good family, but a "lit
tie wild,'' was arrested in Washing
ton, D. C., two days after the diseov.
cry of tne murder.
McCleary Is said to have been a
suitor for the hand of Miss Lupah
‘lenry. daughter of the murdered wo
man and a stenographer in the office
of the Hagerstown municipal electric
tight plant. Miss Henry, it is said,
did .tot look upou him with favor, and
August 15 Itrt Hagerstown on a va-
ation and in order to escape the al
leged unwelcome attentions of Mc
Cleary.
It is understood that the accused
young man intends to maintain that
■ie is guiltless of the crime charged
igai.ist him. notwithstanding that he
is said to have signed a confession I
drawn up by the state's attorney a'
few days after his arrest, in which he :
admitted that he had choked Mrs.
Henry. Two of the leading la.v firms
of Hagerstown and Rockville have
been engaged to conduct the defense.

Atlanta, Ga., April 15.—A. vigorous
war upou gypsy paJiukts and fortune
te.lers of Atlanta^ ha been started
by the city council." The council is in
no special hurry to investigate the
charges of graft which 'has been mado
ugainst certain of its members, but
held tut its hands in holy horror the
other day when Councilman Claude
L. Ashley reported conditions as to
the gypsy fortune tellers scattered
over the city. iMr. Ashley declared
that these gypsy tent-livers are a
greater menace to the morals of At
lanta than anything else he knows of.
He alsci declared -that he would ask
the Chief of Police to order these
tents closed, and demand that their
occupants strictly comply with the
law.
Co ncilman Ashley has prepared an
ordinance which he is going to intro-
duce at the next meeting of council
so severely regulating gypsy fortune
tellers, clairvoyants and palmists, that
they will have a hard time carrying
on their business, finder the present
ordinance tile city collects an annual
license tax of 5100 from each of these
fortune tellers, and the state gets the
same amount. There must be money
ill the business, since in spite of this
regulation they have prospered and
grown in number, until they are found
ill almost every section of the city.
They do their business in the most
prominent parts of the city, where
they unquestionably have to pay a
high rental even for the bare land
they occupy.
Atlanta ministers have joined Coun
cilman Ashley, and other members o*
council, in their fight on these gyp
sies, and under the state legislation,
which is sure to come, there is no
question but there twill be a material
diminution in their numbers.

Can’t Get Away From St

Is it possible to nourish, strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part of the
brain each day. Why doesn't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month of
Ibrain work? Because the man rebuilds each
{day.
If h- builds a little less than he destroys,
[brain fag and nervous prostration result s_rc
• If he builds baek a little mere each day. the
riiiain grows stronger and more capable. That
tjTalso is sure. Where does man get the material
Mo rebuild his brain? Is it from air. sky or
jthe ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
I,, think about it. the rebuilding material must be
”i In the food and drink.
h
1 That also is sure.
i‘ Are the brain rebuilding materials found
kin all food? In a good variety but not in
suitable proportion in all.
I To illustrate: we know bones are made
largely of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
I must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child.
If we desired to keep brain strong and
healthy we would use food known to contain
the things Nature uses for the purpose.
True, Nature provides these elements In a
variety of edibie things. We submit the fol
lowing facts for those who care to know some
thing definite on the subject:
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable au
thority, Geoghegan shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos
phate of Potash) 2.91 per cent ot the total, 5.83
of all mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.
Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phos
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from a total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-halt ot Phos
phate of Potash.
Analysis oi Grape-Nuts shows Potassium and
Phosphorous (which join and make Phosphate
of Potash) is considerable more than one-half
of all the mineral sails in the food.
Dr. Gio. W. Carey, an authority on the con
stituent elements of the body, says: "The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by t ie inorganic cell-salt. Potasium Phosphate
(Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites 'With
albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of
course, there is a trace of other salts and other
organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium
Phosphate is the chief factor and has the pow
er within itself to attract, by its awn law of
affinity, all things needed to manufacture the
elixir of life."
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
of tite matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes it In vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies—this is the only law of
cure."
The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element In
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain fag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary. If you eat food known to
be rich in this clement, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on a brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces
sary to good digestion.
Worry, anxlefy. fear, hate, etc., etc., directly
interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyaiin, the
digestive juice ot the mouth and also Interfere
with the flow of the digsetive juices of stom
ach and pancreas.
Therefore, the mental state of the individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with
digestion.
Brain Is made of Phosphate of Potash as
the principal Mineral Salt, added to albumen
and water.
Grape-Nuts contain that element as more
than one-half of all its mineral salts. We
inns: remember that nearly 95 per cent of the
brain is composed of water and albumen, bur
the little worker Phosphate of Potash must be
present in order to blend tile iuo*e. bulk, ni..-
terials into useable form.
So with Grape-Nuts. The Phosphate of Pot
ash is more than one-half of all the mineral
salts, but the total volume of those elements
is exceedingly small as compared with the
greater bulk of other food elements contained
in Grape-Nuts.
We should also rem. niher that this small
ingredient should not be put into the food in
the form it might come from a chemist, be
cause man cannot produce these elements in
as digestible a form as Old Mother Nature,
when she puts them in the wheat and barley
from which Grape-Ndts is made.
A healthy brain is important, if one ‘would
"do things" in this world.
A man who sneers at ‘‘Mind" sneers at the
best and least understood part of himself.
That part which some folks believe links us
to the Infinite.
Mind asks for a healthy brain upom which to
act. and Nature has defined a way to make a
healthy brain and renew It day by day as It Is
used up from work of the previous day.
Nature's way to rebuild is by the use ot
food which supplies the things required. Brain
rebuilding material is certainly found in a very
natural and perfect form in
Grape-Nuts
