FYlonds of Fred Houser, the secre

an body begins talking about what
happened on the last lap of the re

th« f'lumber of Commerce Industrial
Bureau. FTe is loquacious to the nth
degree on all subjects pertaining to
, the first heat of the excursion until
the said excursion goi as far as tee
Atlanta Steel Works. From then on
he is aiv silent as th« proverbial
grave. And here is why: One of the
greatest desires Hou*er has ever

! ing nails, and he never had an op-
l porttinlty before the industrial ex-
urslon took in the steel plant Bo

Thomas K Penland, the genial
head bookkeeper of the T K. Saw -
tell Company, who lives at No. id
Washington street, has two distinc
tion* these days that mark him as
radically different from the ordinary
mortal. In the first place he’s about
the only man in Mlanta who had a
Thanksgiving turkey and forgot to
cat it or anything else. And then
| he's fhe father of the bouncingest of
■ bouncing baby boys The second is
j the cause of the first. The little
I stranger arrived early Thanksgiving
morning and was promptly named
Thomas K.. Jr , and then Thomas K.
Hr. assumed that expression of
beatific toy and price tnat always
mark* the new father a* a man
among men He had a wonderful
furkev with mine eyes I saw it and
know it to be so and he had it all
rOASttd and stuffed until It WAS
culinary triumph. But he was
busy admiring the new heir to hi*
name and fortune* that he didn’t eat
a bite all day. To paraphrase:
Father wa* so happy he was dan
cing with Joy
All he. could say was, "Gee! I'm
glad It's a boy!”
\Y H Leahy, secretary of the In

Commerce, is getting his head filled
with figures these day*. Hen pre

and he *avs he neer knew how much

he got hold of some of the financial

Billy Quarles, who is one of the
high-class employees of the Fain At
Stamps Wholesale Grocery Company,
never drinks a drop of anything
stronger than coffee, and the other
night when the firm’s employees had
a banquet at the Piedmont, his pro-
hlbltionlstlc „ tendencies were paid
marked tribute. They gave him a
baby bottle full of milk, with instruc
tions to go away olY by himself and
get "soused." But William fooled
t item ull. He's got a young son out
at hi* house who just dotes on milk,
and few of hm fellow employees
knew anything about the youngster.
Ho instead of being real devilish and
getting on a "milk Jag ’ lie took the
bottle home and let "George do It."

MW MEAT m
TUBERCULOSIS
LATEST'CUBE'
Winner of Nobel Prize for Medi
cine Announces Tedious But
Almost Certain Treatment.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PA RIB, Dec. 1.—Professor Charles
Riehef, the distinguished scientist to
whom was awarded the Nobel prize
for medicine this year, announces
that tuberculosis can be cured with
raw meat Juice.
"The treatment is d filrult to fol
low." he says, "but I have prdved its
effectiveness. Eve»*y day the patient
must go to a slaugnter house, obtain
ten pound* of fresh meat, then ex
tract the revivifying juice from it.
This in a long and tedious taak. Ten
pounds of meat yield about half a
pint of Juice, which should lie con
served on ice.
‘ My patient* who were suffering
from tuberculosis of the lungs were
cured by this treatment, although it
had to be followed faithfully for
three years.
"1 admit It is a costly as well as a
difficult remedy, but it is a certain
one in all but the most advanced
cases. I do not believe any serum
exist* which will cure (he dread dis
ease.’’
Tuberculosis kills more than 120 -
000 persons in France yearly, accord
ing to Dr. Albert Calmette, who is
trying to get the French Government
to give to scientists an uninhabited
island off Guinea, where experiments
may be made with monkey* with the
view to eradicate the white plague, of
which one in seven of human adults
die*.
Dr. Calmette has discovered a vac
cine which has given to calves im
munity from tuberculosis He has
mixed most virulent Koch bacilli In
their food and inoculated them under
the flesh, pumping hundreds of mil
lions of germs into their veins. But
even' calf vaccinated by his method
beforehand has resisted the disease —
post-mortem «xht lnation failing to
reveal the slightest traces of the af
fection.
Dr. Calmette admits, however, his
experiments are not conclusive as to
his effective treatment of humans.

w-ho think Christmas is not properly
celebrated without the time-honored
