EXPERIENCED GROWERS AT
TENDED MEETING FRIDAY.
FINE SECTION FOR BERRY.
About 75 farmers and other citizens
attended a meeting at the court house
Friday afternoon that was held in the
interest of the movement to grow
strawberries in Terrell county for the
market. Much interest was manifested,
and several took part in the discus
sion.
Mr. J. D. Gibson, a successful straw
berry grower. of Montgomery, Ala.,
and Mr. W. G. Enders, of Portland,
Tenn., who is president of an associa
tion that has 1,600 acres in berries,
were present and gave interesting talks
and valuable information on planting,
cultivation, harvesting and marketing
this fruit. With the proper attention,
they said, there is nothing that wiil
give surer or larger returns than the
strawberry. They spoke highly of the
soil and climate of Terrell county, and
said: that no other section they had
visited in their wide travels was better
adapted to this industry.
Following thé meeting several citi
zens pledged to plant an aggregate of
100 acres in strawberries. They are: J.
E. Cushenberry 20 acres, T. B. Raines
10 acres, J. W. Bridges 10 acres, A. A.
Lewis 6 acres, B. M. Davidson 10
acres, W. D. Davidson 5 acres, J. H.
Mills 2 acres, J. E. Hamilton 5 acres,
Cocke & Miller 4 acres, G. K. McLain
6 acres, W. H. Dismuke 5 acres, B.
S. Smith 5 acres, B. H. Holder 2 acres,
J. F. Cocke & Sons 2 acres, W. 18
Jennings 2 acres, H. H. Melton 1 acre,
D. S. Hautman 2 acres, J. T. Coker
2 acres.
Strawberries are set out in the fall,
and plants will be ordered early in
September.

The following from a recent issue
of the Eufaula, Ala., Times will be

a splendid young man, whose friends
are heartily congratulating him over
winning so lovely a young woman for
his life companion.”
SIX SAVANNAH WOMEN
| WANT TERRELL FARMER
Letters of All of Them Indicate They
Are Persons of Some Culture.
Six Savannah women have written
Mayor Stewart they are willing to
marry the Terrell county farmer who
recently wrote the mayor requesting
his assistance in securing a wife. The
letters of all of the women indicate
they are persons of some degree of |
culture.
_Unless the Terrell farmer is a par
ticular sort of fellow he should be able
to plclg a spouse from these women.
He will probably go to Savannah
soon to do a few hours of regular
courting and bring his lady home.
The Savannah mayor has a record
of having brought two or three couples
together.

!DINERS HELP THEMSELVES
i AS THEY TRAVEL THROUGH
| RESTAURANT IN A CAR.
i Not many years ago there was a
patent granted for an eating arrange
ment adapted to hurried food consump
tion at bar restaurants. An endless belt
carried a series of seats whose occu
pants while feeding were automatically
conveyed along the front of the bar
(from which they could help' them
selves to what they wanted) and were
dumped off at the end after a certain
number of minutes. |
A great improvement on this idea
is a brand new invention, credited to
Lazarus Muntean, of Highland Park,
Mich., which takes the form of an eat
ing establishment on a very large scale,
wherein an endless tramway runs
around a middle space provided 'for‘
cooking and serving purposes, the cus-|
tomers being carried by cars coupled
to trains. |
The whole affair is a developmentl of
the cafeteria system. Each of the above
mentioned cars carries a square table
and four seats. The little trains are
continually moving along the endless
tramway, and the people seated at the
tables are borne slowly past shelves
from which they can help themselves
to the dished articles of food they pre
fer. Coffee, milk, sandwiches or other
foods are at hand to be picked up.
There is an entrance platform, where
the customers are carried by an auto
matic stairway over a bridge that
crosses above one of the loops of the
endless tramway. This lands them on
a platform where they may observe
the day’s menu and give orders for
any dishes they may particularly want.
These orders are sent to the kitchen
department by suitable signals, so that
they may be under way by the time
the patrons reach the dish-carrying
shelves.
Having given their orders they de
scend by another stair to the level of
the track, where they get aboard the
first train that comes along with an
empty table. The train is driven by
electricity, and each table is provided
with a lighting fixture and a motor for
operating a ‘fan. Also, in the middle
of the table, there is a fountain of
drinking water supplied through a hose
connection from a reservoir beneath
one of the cars, this convenient appa
ratus being energized by an electric
pump.
The dish-carrying shelves are serv
ed from steam tables, and from milk
and coffee urns, with attendants at
hand to replenish them constantly.
Dishes are placed so as to be within
easy reach of patrons conveyed by the
slowly moving cars, and as the train
passes along by the. shelves each cus
tomer may select what he wants. Used
plates, etc.. are transferred to endless
belts, - which carry them to washing
machines.
When each train of cars has gone
by the serving shelves it passes in front
of a cashier’'s booth, where the pa
tron pays what he owes for the food
to which he has’helped himself. If he
wants any thing more to eat he can
stay; on board until his car again pass
es by the shelves. The trackage being
endless he need not be hurried with
his meal, but can stay aboard until he
is comfortably through. Then he dis
mounts at the exit platform, where he
ascends one stairway and descends an
other to cross the bridge over the loop.
The idea, as explained by the inven
tor, is “to,'provide a continuous service
restaurant by which a large number of
patrons may be fed in a comparatively
short time.
Prohibition Brings
More Drug Addicts
The Number of Cases Has Trebled,
Says N. Y. Dept. Public Welfare.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Statistics
from city hospitals show that drug
addition has trebled since prohibition
went into effect, according to a report
made public today by the department
of public welfare of which Bird S.
Coler is commissioner.
“In 1918 hospitals treated 116 cases
of drug addictions,” the réport said.
“In 1919 this number increased to 339
and in 1920 439 drug addicts were ad
mitted. These figures represent only a
small portion of the total number of
drug addicts treated. For instance, the
1920 figures are for Manhattan alone,
with no totals for the other burroughs.”
Prohibition has not perceptibly les
sened the number of alcoholics treated
in city hospitals, the report stated and
added: |
“In 1918 there were 1,145 men and
women treated for alcoholism. In 1920,
despite the costliness of liquor and the
difficulty of getting it, there were 1,-
024 cases treated. For the first six
months of 1921 the records show that
567 alcoholic cases were attended,
while the number of drug addicts for!
this six months period climbed to 377.”
Use the Old-time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
Will know.
Gray hair, however handsome, de
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages of a youthful appear
ance. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just a few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Fither prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store a bottle of
| “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of folks
| recommend this ready-to-use prepara
tion, because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides, no one can possibly
tell, as it darkens SO naturally and
| evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft

FLOUR SHOULD Give
YOU LIFE~Are you sure it is not
taking it away from you?
@ Just because flour is snow white does not mean it is pure and healthful—on the other hand it’s just
the opposite, for the process it goes through in getting its whiteness, which is done to preserve 1t from
deterioration, the mills take the “life” from the wheat by 'dehearting and bleaching, which robs it
of its mineral salts and gluten, leaving it with an unwholesome proponderance of starch.
What Does Your Stomach Say About This? Had You
Ever Thought that Flour May be the Cause of
Your Indigestion and Constipation.
¢ ELLADALE MILLS FLOUR is not a so-called “health” flour of medicinal value. Priman
ly it is a commercial flour made for eating—and for eating at every meal, too, by a small mill
where quality is placed before quantity; from wheat that 1s not kiln dried, dehearted nor bleach
ed. Therefore ELLADALE MILLS home made flour retains and gives to you the life of the
wheat from which it is made. Our flour is white, but not SNOW WHITE.

. “I have a customer here who was
in bed for three years and did not go
to a meal at any time. She had five
physicians and they gave her out. One
bottle of Tanlac got her up; on the
second bottle she commenced keeping

This sounds really incredible, but it
