BANK EXAMINATIONS'
A carefully conducted bank, one that
Is honestly and ably managed, Invites
the most thorough examinations. In
addition to the state examinations, At
lanta's oldest aavlngs bank, the Georgia
Savings Bank and Trust Company,
have for years employed a private au
ditor. This gives them two examina
tions a year by the state authorities
and two by Alonso Richardson & Co.
and the officers-of this solid Institution
never know’ when the examinations are
to be made. In fact, It Is the policy of
this bank not to spare any expense that
will tend to safe-guard Its deposits and
rnnke them ns secure ns a government
bond. Another strong feature Is the
carefulness with which they make their
loans, as evidenced from the fact that
they have never lost a single one. You
can rest assured that when your money
Is placed out by them, ample security
Is protecting every dollar. Four per
cent per annum Interest Is paid and
compounded January and July. Start

DR. HAWTHORNE
TALKS TO BAPTISTS
Two Interesting addresses were de
livered Monday morning at the weekly
meeting of the Baptist ministers. One
told of a recent trip thru Cuba and
was made by Rev. John D. Jordan,
while the other was made by Rev. pr. J.
B. Hawthorne, for many years pastor
of the First Baptist church.
Dr. Hawthorne was one of those At
lantans who fought shoulder to shoul
der with Henry Grady In the first pro
hibition campaign, and he declared to
the Baptist ministers Monday that If It
was possible to die from Joy, he would
have died when he heard that Georgia
had Inaugurated prohibition.
Dr. Jordan’s address was interesting
from every standpoint, and especially
waa that feature dealing with the
growth of Baptist missionary work In
the Island.

CHIEF OF STAFF
NOT YET NAMED
At the Department of the Gulf, In the
Candler building, there Is much specu
lation as to who will be named as chief
of stair to succeed Colonel Ramsey D.
Potts, who was recently created briga
dier general and placed In command
pf the department.
Colonel Potle’ promotion, which be
came effective February 28. removed
him from the office of chief of staff
and leaves that office vacant. The ap

this week, and le an assignment eagerly
sought for. and Is, It seems, one In line
for rapid promotion.

HOT BISCUIT
Kind of Breakfast Passing Away.
The old-time hot biscuit played
prominent role In the breakfaet bill of
fare, along with fried potatoes, ham
and eggs and coffee.
The whiter and lighter the blacult
the more pleased the cook, which
usually mother, who did the best she
could, with her understanding of the
matter.
But moat people have learned In re.
cent yean that white flour lacks the
nourishing elements of the entire wheat
berry, anil many cases of Imperfect nu
trition follow Us use.
In Grape-Nuts, all the food elements
of wheat and barley are used, and this
largely accounts for results similar to
those given In the following letter:
"l wish to tell of the health and
strength-giving properties of Orape-
Nute. I am 45 years old and had for
years been afflicted with Indigestion
and other stomach troubles, brought on
by eating hot biscuit, white bread and
Improperly cooked cereals. ,
“Noticing an advertisement stating
the benefits derived from eating Orape-
Nuts, I was skeptical because I had
triad so many so-called ‘health foods.*
I thought It would be useless to try
Grape-Nuts.
"But during the last slz months I
Jiave been eating it, my stomach has
Ven the best for years, my mind clear,
my nerves quiet and a feeling of buoy
ancy pervades my whole being.
"This I attribute to Grape-Nuts, as
1 have left off using medicines. I now
firmly believe In the brain-clearing,
nerve-steadying and muscle-building
properties of Orape-Nuts.

PROHIBITION’S EFFECT
ON NEGRO RACE
Rev. H. H. Proctor preached ot the
First Congregational church, colored,
Sunday night on "Two Months of Pro
hibition in Atlanta—Has It Mads
Good?" After showing thnt prohibition
had not hurt business, but had de
creased crime end brought a new moral
tone to the community, Jte appeuled to
his people to co-operate with the pow
era that be to make the law successful.
"A 'blind tiger.'" he said, "Is 'un en
emy to the community, and whether ho
la housed or walks about on the streets
biting people on the sly. It Is the duty
of every good citizen to zee to It that he
Is put behind tbe bars,
"I am anxious that the colored people
will be the very best observers of the
prohibition law,” he continued, “for
while the removal of the saloon brings
blessings to the whole community, It le
of special benefit to the colored people,
nnd Is the greatest blessing that has
come to us since the war. I saw a man
