A Serious Joke on
The Rabbit
The U. S. Gov’t has been experimenting to dis
cover the poisonous quality of Caffeine (found in
coffee).
57 healthy rabbits were given an average dose of
5 1-10 grains. ... ~
—They all died.
See Gov’t Bulletin No. 1 48,
Bureau of Chemistry.
A cup of coffee contains over 2 1-2 grains of Caffeine', enough
n two cups to kill a rabbit.
Os course this joke was on the rabbits.
A goodly number of humorous Americans play the same joke
»n themselves and keep it up until some fixed form of disease sets
n, as a result of the daily dose of Caffeine, in quantity enough to
all a rabbit, but only enough to
Cripple a Man
Not at one blow, but by
little blows repeated daily.
Os course some systems are strong enough to stand all kinds of
base, but when a man or woman observes a growing nervousness,
> r heart trouble, stomach, bowel or eye disturbances, it is time to
|uit the daily dose of coffee and see if Nature will begin to heal.
It is easy to shift from coffee to Postum. The food beverage
las the deep, seal-brown color which turns to a golden-brown when
r eam is added. The flavour has the crisp tang so winning to the
'alate and the cup is made instanter by one struck spoonful of the
»owder,
Instant Postum
stirred in a cup of hot water, and there you are.
1 he change from coffee to Postum works wonders.
Grocers sell Instant Postum
-—IOO-cup tins at 50c, 50-cup tins at 30c.
. , Jf your grocer doesn’t have Instant Postum send his name
ntn 2c stamp for postage and we will send you a 5-cup sample

NO FIGHT AGAINST
DUSTING SMOKE
BOARD SEEN
Councilman Smith’s Act Abol
ishing Commission Will Be
Considered Nov. 17.
Councilman Charles W. Smith, who
is leading the fight to abolish the smoke
commission, said today he did not be
lieve there would be any opposition to
his ordinance abolishing the commis
sion, It will be considered at the meet
ing of council on November 17.
‘‘The members of Council and the cit
izens of Atlanta generally realize that
the smoke commission must be abolish
ed if we are ever to make any progress
in abating the smoke nuisance,” he
declared. “A majority of the commis
sion is clearly blocking the crusade to
reduce the smoke evil. We will have
to abolish the board to get rid of that
undesirable majority.”
Mr. Smith said that he had received
assurance of support of his ordinance
from a number of officials. He said he
had not heard a single councilman or
aiderman express himself as approving
the action of the smoke commission.
Broyles Fines Four Offenders.
Recorder Nash Broyles stated from
the bench yesterday afternoon that the
smoke ordinance was a good law. and
should be enforced against all who are
violating it. He fined four offenders —
Frank Harrell, of the Aragon hotel;
J. L. DeGive, of the Grand building; J.
B. Whitney, of the Atlanta Milling
Company, and W. F. Winecoff, of the
Austell building—s2s.7s each.
Smoke Inspector McMichael inform
ed the recorder that 90 per cent of
smokestacks in the city were violating
the law. There were more than twen
ty-five owners of stationary steam
plants in the court to hear the position
taken by the recorder.
Judge Broyles declared:
“These four men should not be made
the ‘goats' of this situation. Cases
should be made against all the violat
ors.”
Councilman Smith's first move will be
to request Wilmer L. Moore, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, and J. M.
VanHarlingen, chairman of the smoke
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, to hold a meeting of the com
mittee of the chamber to discuss the
matter.
Would Give Chamber a Voice.
Mr. Smith said the attitude of the
commission made some immediate ac
tion Imperative. Four well known men
have been fined, while the commission
virtually has Instructed the inspector
not to make any more cases against the
numbers of others who are violating the
law. He said as the Chamber of Com
merce had begun the agitation for a
smoke commission, he thought it should
have a voice in solving the present
problem.
R. M. Harwell, chairman of the smoke
commission, and who has insisted all
along that the smoke ordninance should
be enforced, said that he had received
many letters from citizens thanking
him for his stand and urging that At
lanta be relieved from the smoke evil.
Mr. Harwell showed this letter as
typical of the sort he was receiving,
which, he said, indicated very clearly
the attitude of the public on the mat
ter:
Sample Smoke Complaint.
Mr. R. M. Harwell, Chairman of
the Smoke Commission:
Dear Sir —I have noticed of your
action requiring people to comply
with the smoke law.
My porch Is covered two or three
times a day with soot from the.
North avenue railroad yards. It is
a continual nuisance and every
thing in the house is ruined by soot
where there is a chance for It to
get in.
The apartment houses all over
the city are about as bad as the
factories. They should be looked
after also.
I hope you will get right behind
everybody and enforce the law to
the letter.
The loss from soot in houses of
private families, to say nothing of
the outside loss and the danger to
health, is enormous. lam sure the
whole city will back you In every
thing you do to get rid of smoke.
I am a citizen and a taxpayer of
Atlanta and have been here for
nearly 30 years.
Yours very truly.
A. A. SMITH,
198 West Peachtree Street.
WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
ON INCREASE IN FRANCE
PARIS, Nov. 6.—The white slave
traffic is making alarming progress in
French cities. The secret police are
actively at work, and numerous arrests
have been made In Paris and Lyons.
Vigilance societies are also on the track
of a clandestine organization that ap
pears to be very widely spread. News
from Quebec states that the police of
that city made a raid on two houses. I
and out of the seventeen women they I
found there fifteen were respectable
young French girls, who had been en
ticed out on fictitious engagements as
school teachers and dressmakers. Once
in they were entrapped; they were kept
prisoners until they accepted the re
volting career. Mexico and Argentina
are the favorite markets, it appears.
