U. S JUDGE HOLDS LIQUOR
pRESCRIPTION LIMIT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
e
NEW vOßK.—Fedleral Judge
Kl;U.\' (oday declared unconstitutional,
as restricting the right e‘f a physician
t(; prescribe for his patients, 'the pro
| isions of the Volstead act and its
ar;lt'li‘l"‘“"‘ts prohibitix}g the presérib
mg of more than a pint of spirituous
fiquor every 10 days. o 1
First Blood for Physicians.
The decision in the liquor prescrip
fon case Was first blood for the as
sociation for the protection of consti
wtional rights, an organization of 100
prominent physicians who brought the
qit through their president, Dr. S.
W. Lambert, dean emeritus of the
college of physicians at Columbia
University. Assistant United States
attorney Clark announced, however,
the case would be rushed to the Unit
ed States supreme court for a final
decision, and that he would seek a
stay Of Judge Knox’s in the mean
m'm, l.ambert filed his action Nov
ember, 1922, claiming congress was
gurping the functions of the physi
gan in limiting the amount of liquor
that might be prescribed to any one
patient and asking the state prohibi
tion director, the mte;{xal revenue de
partment and the Uhited States at
torney's office be restrained from mo
lesting him in his avowed ‘détermina
tion to ignore the provision, which
he declared was illegal.
Tudge Knox read a 300-word de
aeion upholding his contention of*un
constitutionality and granting the in
junction asked.
Recognized as Medicinal.
Although, he said, the question of
whether liquor is a valuable therapu
tic agent is so highly controversial
that a questionnaire directed to 30,-
000 physicians had resulted in a 51
to 49 vote in favor of the use of lig
gor in certain cases, congress itself,
n the legislation under attack,” had
recognized it as having sa legitimate
medical use.
“The difficulty,” he continued, “is
that having done so, congress with
out reference to the quantity of liquor
actually required for the proper treat
ment of a_particular ailment, and ir
respective of the good faith, judg
ment and skill of the. physician in at-‘
tendance, proceeds to limit the amount
to be prescribed to not more than a
pint within a period of 10 days.
The eighteenth amendment was de
signed to bring about the prohibition
of intoxicating liquor for beverage
purposes, and was not, I think, in
tended to put an end to the use of
liquor for purposes regarded by those
who proposed the amendment, and by
manv of the states that ratified it, as
justiiable and proper.”
Such cases, he said, included its use
for sacramental purposes, for medi
cl and for industrial purposes, point—‘
ing out that no limit had been placed
o the amount that might be used
for sacramental purposes. |
Instead of manifesting the same so
licitude for the physical well being of
a person suffering from disease that
it evinced for the spiritual comfort
and welfare of members of certain
religious sects, he continued, congress
restricted in the manner complained
of the medical use of intoxicating
liquors.

MANY VITAL STATE ISSUES
(Continued From Page One)
sion, headed by Representative E. H.
McMichael, of Marion county, will
retew the fight that occupied much
time during the last session, calling
‘for a legislative investigation of the
highway department and its accom
plishments to date.
Dr. M. M. Parks, state school su
perintendent, is preparing amend
ments to present school laws. Great
confusion has resulted this year froma
general provision that the public
schools get one-half of all the revenue
of the state, and the subsequent ap
propriation for other purposes are a
part of the fund to which the schools
were entitled, according to the school
officials. County boards are now de
manding $625,000 from the state, rep
resenting one-half of the excess of
actual revenues above anticipated rev
enues in 1922,
Larger appropriations ill be
sought this year, not onl%v for the
common schools, but also for the in
stitutions of higher learning.
Lively Times Anticipated.
The members of the legislature are
expecting a busy session, featured by
some warm battles over the import
ant issues that confront them.
No particular faction of the demo
cratic party is expected to have a
predominating majority in either
house.
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
ESTIMATES NUMBER WHO
HAVE LEFT AT 100,000.
An estimated total of 100,000 per
sons, or the equivalent of the popula
tion of a city twice the size of Macon,
is the number of white and black
Georgians who have left farms in this
state since last January Ist. Of this
number the greater part is composed
of black citizens, although the num
ber of whites who have abandoned
the farms is placed at above 18,000.
These astonishing figures and others
were compiled by county agents
throughout Georgia, grouped at the
Georgia State college of agriculture,
and given to the public through news
paper correspondents.
In addition to the large number of
individuals who have left Georgia
farms—and the most of these have
even left the state—it is found that
11.840 farms have been abandoned in
Georgia since the first of last January.
The actual number of negroes who
have left Georgia within the five
months is estimated to be 68,960, and
attributing to each of these negroes
the ability to make one dollar a day
the productive value of the population
that has left this state in five months
wbuld in the course of a year amount
to more than $25,000,000.
JUNE IST IS SELECTED FOR
TIME TO ASK FOR GUID
ANCE IN THEIR PLAN.
i Ahhe Southern Baptist Convention,
in session at Kansas City, set apart
next Friday, June lst, or a day as
near that as possible, as a day of
praver for divine guidance in the car
rying out of their plans.
A resolution adopted requests “all
our pastors and churches to spend
that day together in prayer, with
exposition of scripture and testimony
concerning prayer, beseeching God to
give us in His own way the money
to pay our debts and enlarge the work
for the glory of God.” THe resolution
was offered by Dr. A. C. Dixon, of
Baltimore, Md.
Debt Is $403,897.24.
The report of the committee that
was to exam'ine the work of the for
eign mission’ board was read by Dr.
J. B. Weatherspoon, of Louisville,
Ky. It said that there is a debt of
$403,897.24, plus a large interest ac
count. This, added to the amount now
due to the two seminaries and the
Bible institute, the report declares,
brings the indebtedness to $678,243.98.
Larger advances were made in the
foreign mission work of the Southern
Baptists during the past year than 1n
any other of the seventy-eight years
the organization has been doing mis
sionary work, the annual report of
the foreign mission board, as present
ed to the convention by Dr. B
Love, of Richmond, Va., said. Includ
ed in the gains for the twelve-month
period were the organization of 269
churches, the administration of 12,611
baptisms, 39,077 new members added
to the church, the erection of sixty
seven new houses of worship, organi
sation of 476 new Sunday schools, a
gain of 13.716 in Sunday school pupils,
an increase of 6,282 in the number
of pupils enrolled in mission schools
and colleges, the sending out of forty
seven new: foreign missionaries and
the addition of 1,647 missionaries to

SOUTHERNER WOULD SHOW
HIS GRATITUDE FOR FOOD
GIVEN HIM BY CANBY.
Touched by an unusual endeavor to
show _gratitude. President Harding
has directed the war department to
ascertain the burial place of General
Edward R. S. Canby, an officer in
the Union army during the civil war,
who was killed in 1873 during some
Indian troubles in northern Califor
nia.
The president acted upon receipt
of a letter from Charles Hall, an aged
attorney of Bay Minnette, Ala, who
wrote that he wanted to place a
Lvreath on the grave of General Can
y. g
“General Canby was in command
of the federal army at Fort Blakely,
in Baldwin county, Ala.,” the Ala
baman wrote. “The Confederate sol
diers at Fort Blakely surrendered to
him April 9, 1965. On the morning of
April 15, 1865, General Canby was in
Fort Blakely and on that day my
father and T went to Blakely to ask
him for something to eat, as every
thing my father owned at that time
was destroyed by the federal soldiers
while they were fighting the southern
soldiers at Blakely.
Wagon Load of Food.
“We went into Blakely in a one
horse wagon and General Canby had
the wagon filled with the best kind
of food and told my father to go back
home with the food to his family,
which he did, but while we were in
Fort Blakely standing at ‘the river
landing a steamer from Mobile came
up and stopped and just before she
Janded someone on board yelled that
President lLincoln had been assassin
ated. Then and there father remark
ed that ‘that was the worst thing that
ever happened to the south/
“We then left the landing with our
wagon filled with food and on our
way back home we were stopped by
federal pickets about one and one
half miles from Canby headquarters.
Father then went back to Canby and
he wrote a note and gave it to my
father and told him to hand the note
to the picket, which' he did, then the
picket let us through the federal lines
and we came home to my mother and
six small children—being my brothers
and sisters. 5
. Would Honor Grave.
“For many years I have wanted to
place a_wreath of flowers on General
Canby’s grave. If you don’t know
where he is buried then please turn
this over to someone who knows. I
am now in my sixty-ninth year and
I want to place a wreath on his grave
before 1 pass away. General Canby
gave us food when we were hungry.”
DEAD ENGINEER HOLDS TO
THROTTLE; TRAINS COLLIDE
Disregarding Order Clutched in His
~ Hand, Train Runs 50-Mile Rate.
. LIMA, Ohio.—A dead man ‘was at
the throttle when the eastbound Lake
Erie and Western passenger train
last night crhshed head-on with ‘a
freight near here, injuring 'thirteen
persons. .
A physician’s report following an
autopsy on the body of George Bass
ler, sixty-one, engineer, indicated he
died of heart trouble a few minutes
before the crash.
Disregarding an order which he
clutched in his right hand to stop
at Oakland, Bassler’s body swayed
with the engine as it sped along fifty
miles an hour.
This version of the accident was
supported by Mrs. Bassler, who said
her husband before starting out on
Wednesday morning, had complained
of pains in the region of his heart.
LUMBAGO.
This is a rheumatism of the muscles
of the back. It comes on suddenly and
is quite painful. Every movement ag
gravates the disease. Go to bed, keep
quiet and have Chamberlain’s Lini
ment applied and a quick recovery
may be expected. Mrs. F. J. Dann,
Brockport, N. Y., writes: “I can_hon
estly say that Chamberlain’s Liniment
cured me of lumbago a year ago last
summer. When I began using it I
was flat on my back in bed and could
not turn to the left or right. I had a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Liniment in
the house and this was applied to my
back. It promptly drove away the
pains and aches.”—adv.

Long, Narrow Faces
Are Becoming Prevalent
Recession Caused by Constricted Pal
ates of Present Day, Says Britisher.
“Changing face” now is a reality as
well as a phrase, according to Sir Ar
thur Keith, noted anthropologist, who
lectured 'before the Royal Institute in
London, says the New York Tribune.
Sir Arthur was speaking of physical
changes brought about by modern
habits of life, and said:
“The most plastic bone in the hu
man body is that under the gums in
which the teeth are rooted. In 30 per
cent of the people in Great Britain
this bone, instead of spreading out
ward and giving the roof of the mouth
a wide, low value, grows in a vertical
direction, giving the palate a high and
narrow arch.
“With these constricted palates
there is no longer room for the nor
mal number of teeth. The lower front
teeth, instead of meeting the upper,
pass behind them, giving rise to the
prevalent modern scissors bite. The
recession of the teeth gives the mod
ern nose and chin undue prominence;
thus the tendency of all modern
changes is toward the production of a
long, narrow face.”
Man’s stature, the scientist added,
has not changed since the neolithic
period, but still averages five feet six‘
inches. |

QUEER “REPTILES” FOUND
IN POND IN KANSAS STATE
Creature Has Head Like Catfish and
Four Legs and Feet.
MEDICINE LODGE, Kans.—All
Barber county is interested in the
origin and nature of queer creatures,
half fish, half reotile, which are work
ing havoc in a pond on A. D. Shaw’s
farm near here. The creatures dave
heads shaped something like those of
mud catfish, but have four legs and
feet. The feet have five toes each. The
tail is long and flat, but is solid, not
being fan shaped like that of a fish.
The fish-reptile swims by use of its
tail, but when at the bottom of the
pond crawls around with its legs. Just
behind the head it has long feelers
much heavier than those di a catfish,
while the tongue is long and white.
The pond is alive with the queer ani
mals. They have been pronounced an
immature specie of the salamander
and are believed to be very poisonous.
Several cows have been killed by bites
from the creatures.
Helg Kidneys
y Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irri
tating Acids
Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an irri
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
in constant dread; the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is diffi
culty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
because they can’t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots of soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act nor
mal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and is used by
thousands of folks who are subject to
urinary disorders caused by acid irri
tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects
whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink which —may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
By all means have your physician exam
ine your kidneys at least twice a year.
