"ft Is more extreme than the loudest-
mouthed prohibitionist svef before de

prove It.
"It was amusing to view the fight of
the leaders over some of the simple
I amendments that were offered by the

) some wholesomeness to the measure.
"They seemed to view ell of our
amendment. with the suspicions of Ig

trick In everything we proposed.

”1 don't know what to do.”
This remark almost lost him his
bride.
"Well, we came here to get married
and If you don’t know what to do, I
do,” and with this she ran out of the

STOCK COMPANY

Try the change.
You will feel “fit as a lord” in a week’s time hv breakfasting on Grape-
Nuts and cream, a little fruit, a soft boiled egg, some nice, crisp toast, and a cup
of well-made Postum.
If you ever try this experiment, you will always bless the day you woke up.
There’s a reason why Grape-Nuts food furnishes power to body and brain.
It is made of selected parts of the field grains that furnish phosphate of potash in
a natural state that can be assimilated by the human body. This joins with .the
albumen of food and forms the gray matter of the brain and nerve centers.
Feed skilfully and you can “do things.”
The greatest brain workers eat Grape-Nuts.
Ask one or two, they’ll tell you.
You meat eaters who are ailing in any sort of way should take the hint.
A prominent authority says:
"There lx no doubt of the fact that meat-eating Is not eisentlal to human life, and that men can be well
ooorlahed without resorting to a flesh diet.
"I think the statement may be accepted without question that, as a rule, we eat too much, not only of
meat, but of all forma of food. The question of limiting the diet Is based primarily not on the principle of
economy, but on the requirements of hygiene.
"At the early breakfasts which Americans are wont to Indulge tn N that Is, a hearty meal before going to
their dally work, the omission of meat la to be earnestly advised.
"It Is well known that men who are nourished very extensively on certain cereals are capable of the
hardest and moat enduring labor.”
You can depend on the energy from Grape-Nuts longer than from any meal
of meat.

Business Men and Ministers
Believe New Era Has
Begun.
Upon the day following the passage
of the prohibition bill by the house, a
number of Atlanta's prominent men
expressed themselves upon the outlook
for the state. There is a spirit of op
timism shown In their views, a belief
that Atlanta and Georgia will prosper
under the reign of prohibition. Some
of these statements follow:
F. A. Qullllan, Mayor Pro Tern.—
“Without the revenue from whisky li
censes, the city will have about as
much next year for public improve
ments and for the maintenance of her
government as.she had this year. Pro
hibition can do no permanent injury to
Atlanta’s schools or to any of her en
terprises. It will necessitate a read
justment of our budget somewhat, and
we will have to pratelce some economy
next year. We will not have to pay
$75,000 for an auditorium-armory next <
year as we did this. We will collect
a much greater amount from the Geor
gia Railway and Kleetrlc Company. The
tax returns will be greater. The Geor
gian, you know, helped to save the
city 125,000 a year on lights. The city
can well withstand the loss of whisky
money.”
Councilman Charles E. Harman-
“The city will go on Just the same,
prospering as ever. The prohibition
bill will necessitate a rearrangement
of our budget, but will bring no se-
riouB harm to any proposed improve
ments.'
From a Merchant.
H. T. McCord, of McCord-Stewart
ompany—“The passage of the prohi
bltlon bill is the greatest piece of leg
islatlon In Georgia since Oglethorpe
landed. There will be a readjustment
In the business affairs of some, but In
the end it will be a great benefit to
business. More wage-earning people
will have homes to purchase than ever
before.
W. S. Witham, Financial Agent of
Nearly 100 Georgia Banks— 1 "It Is the
beginning of an era of prosperity such
as has never be$n known before in
Georgia. But one thing remains. All
candidates for public offices in the city
or state should be committed to the
rMd enforcement of the law. Prohi
bition never .failed except through the
weakness of anti-prohibition officers.
Prohibition will Improve business and
will be the greatest blessing that ever
happened to the country banks.”
Mr. Upshaw Happy,
William D. Upshaw, vice president of
the Georgia Anti-Saloon League, said:
“How do I feel? Too full for utter
ance! There la a kind of Jubilant tran
quillity brooding over my soul. I am in,
a state of glorious* paradox. One mo- 1
ment I feel as'tranquil as a summef
sea, and the next, tho waves of en
thusiasm and thanksgiving mnke
whltecaps In my heart. To think that
saloons have been driven frbm Geor
gia, not by a narrow margin, but by
such an overwhelming majority, seems
too good to be true. As I sit In my
office this morning or stand on the
streets I catch a new vision of our
beloved Atlanta—of our great Georgia
—redeemed.
“But as I sttld at the Grady monu
ment last night, the thing that makes
me doubly thankful Is the beautiful
spirit, for the most part, in which this
wonderful battle has been fought and
won.
“Let every man on the victorious side
show the saloon men that it is only
their business we have been fighting.
Wo love them as men and will rejoice
to help them be better and more use
ful citizens.”
James L. Mayson, president of the
Fulton County Antl-Haloon League:
“The Anti-Saloon League will be kept
in close organization and will bend its
efforts toward enforcing the law. The
men who are elected to office will not
be antagonistic to this movement. Next
year's council will agree on a platform
of thorough and completo enforcement
of the law.”
Councilman W. H. Terrell: “Georgia
was founded upon prohibition. While
she fell away for a time, she has re
turned to the doctrine of the fathers of
the state, I hope, forever.
“General James Edward Oglethorpe,
tho founder of this state, had prohibi
tion put In Its churter and we are only
returning to the principles contained in
that charter.
“I hold no 111 will toward anyone be
cause of anything in this campaign,
and I hope and believe that everyone
else has the same feeling. I do not bo-
lievo in persecuting anyone because
they were opposed to prohibition, either
from principle or for business reasons.

since we freed the state from the car

“The thing to do now Is to go ahead
and enforce the law as It Is written and
to turn our attention to the upbuilding
of the state.
"With the elimination of the negro
from politics and the saloon from the
state, Georgia will blossom as the rose."
“The Hand of God.”
Rev. Richard Orme T'llnn, pastor
North Avenue Presbyterian church:
“Tho passing of the whisky traffic In
Georgia reminds me of Mark Twain’s
story of tho man who bought a hog for
$2, fed him $40 worth of corn nnd sold
him for $6. Tho man s-ald ho made
money on the hog, but found it expen
sive to feed It. I am glad Georgia Is
going out of tho 'hog business.'

grateful for a movement which 1ms

mistakable intluence of a higher power
In our affairs. The movement has been
so sudden and lias developed such
strength us can only be explained to
me by recognizing In It the hand of
God.
“I believe that we should see to tho
enforcement of the law, electing only
those to office who will carry it out. We
havo put this evil out of the way nnd
It Is now our duty to push un aggres

“Fight Just Begun.”

nnd concerted effort on the part of I lie
