Coffee Drinking
\
( offee isn t a food. Anything not a food which is
taken into the system makes the eliminative processes
work overtime to throw it off. Often the unprofitable
thing, when taken regularly, accumulates faster than
it can be eliminated, *and becomes a destroyer.
Besides, coffee contains caffeine, a subtle, poison
ous drug—about 2\i grains to the cup. It is well
known that caffeine frequently causes heart trouble,
nervousness, sleeplessness and biliousness—serious
handicaps to progress and comfort.
If something is hindering your efforts, try the sim
ple test of leaving off coffee ten days and using Pos-
tum.
If after a few days you begin to feel better—sleep
well, nerves steady up and brain gets clear, you will
know how to avoid that kind of trouble.
Postum, made only of prime wheat and a small
per cent of New Orleans molasses, is a pure food-
drink—wholesome, nourishing and delicious. It is
absolutely free from caffeine or any other drug.
Postum now comes in two forms.
Regular Postum—must be well boiled to bring
out its delightful flavour and food value.
Instant Postum—(the new form) is a soluble
powder. A teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water
makes a delicious beverage instantly. Add sugar and
cream to taste.

Th« apportionment nf the Stnt.

Kia, In all the rireumstan<'es of the

The per capita sum allotted to each
pupil baa been decreased this year
cents, but this is accounted for by the
fact that the new school census
show* a decided increase in school
population, with no material Increase
in appropriations.
Most of the counties will g t as
much as formerly, and some more,
notwithstanding the lower per capita
rate, and this because of the Increased
school-at tending population, of course.
There are two new counties included
In this year s apportionment, too. as
Bleckley and Wheeler have not here
tofore been accounted for in making
up the lists.
The legislative appropriations to the
common schools have not been mate
rially increased for several years, be
cause there has been no money in
sight with which to make the in
creases. At the same time, some
sources of revenue heretofore de
voted to the school fund have been
cut off.
If the new tax equalization law
operates as it is expected to, it ’*
altogether probable that the school
fund may be increased within the
next year or so to a most appre
ciable extent. And it was the hope of
raising additional revenue with which
to augment this sum that decided
some members of the J legislature, and
perhaps many, to vote f r the new
law.
The new r equalization act is ex
pected to bring in much more revenue
than formerly, and that without rais
ing the tax rate at all—it was de
signed to ‘dig up,’ properly not now
on the statute books, and If the “dig
ging" Is anything like as good as It
promises to be, the increase In rev
enue will be very heavy, and the tax
rate, at the same time, bids fair to
slump most happily.
And if that comes to pass, the com
mon schools of the State will be the
first to benefit by the new law—
which generallv is agreed to be right
and as it should be.

The Lawrenceville News-Herald
fails to see any politics much in the
prohibition question
That esteemed contemporary, in
the current week’e issue, says:
"One of our exchanges prints a
column editorial in answer to the
query, 'Why do blind tigers flourish
in our community?' That's easy, but
he didn’t hit the spot, sr» we’ll post
him: It Is because the folks in your
neighborhood like liquor. Reform
ihem, and the tigers will perish."
Visitors to the State Department of
Agriculture nowadays need not be the
least surprised to find’ Commissioner
Price out. As a matter of fact, he has
?<sen "In” very little this week, and the
Ataaon Is not far to seek.
No man Is more interested than he In
the boys' corn show, now in progress
in the Capitol corridors, and every mo
ment of spars time the Commissioner
has Is spent outside his office, showing
visitors around the exhibition and ex
pressing to them expert opinions as to
this, that or the other feature of the
same.
Mr Price is, as everybody knows, a
practical farmer on his own account,
and has been generally most successful.
He admits ungrudgingly, nevertheless,
that these corn club boys have taught
him much as to the best methods of
growing corn, and he frankly advises
farmers all about to study and emu
late the examples of the youngsters.
"This year’s corn show la bigger and
better than last year's remarkable ex

Is going to get bigger and better every

the Capital to look It over have been
immense and that is most gratifying
The boys are doing a great work for
Georgia, and the interest exhibited by
the public in their efforts encourages
them immensely to even braver things
next year. I am proud of the com

The original "pioneer citizen" of Rome
passed away on Wednesday of this week
when Miss Amanda Jack, aged 78. died.
The Legislature of Georgia Incorpo
rated Rome in 1834. and Miss Jack was
born the following year within a few
weeks of the legislative act of incorpo
ration. Rome then was the merest vil
lage, numbering perhaps a hundred peo
ple. When this "first” citizen was born,
the Indians were more numerous around
and about Floyd County than the whites
or perhaps as numerous anyway.
Miss Amanda Jack was known of
everybody in Rome, arid was genuinely
beloved and looked upon as the "orig
inal settler." so to speak. She was ex
tensively connected by both blood and
marriage all over Floyd County, and
had relatives in Atlanta «uid other parts
of the State.
Governor Slaton, in an interview pub
lished in The New York American on
Wednesday, expressed most happily and
strikingly the unusual quality of pros
perity now' abiding in Georgia, when he
stated that "there is a bale of cotton
In Georgia for every man. woman and
child therein!"
And when you come to figure it out,
the Governor’s statement is true The
cotton crop in the State, by bales, and
the population almost balances, with the
answer a little bit in favor of the cot
ton.
In other words, the Governor’s state
ment 1b a trifle more than true—there is
or is estimated to be a. fraction more
than a hale of cotton per capita in Geor
gia this year.
Winter Term of Evening School
Begins December 10—Appli
cations Coming In.
Professor J. N G. Xesblt, head cf
the Tech Night School, said Thursday
that Indications point to a record-
breaking attendance for the winter
term, which begins December 10.
The enrollment for the fall term,
which began in September, was 170,
bv far the largest of any year since
the foundation of the school, and ap
plications for admission to the winter
term are already coming In.
Attendance on the night school is
free, and represents the endeavor of
the State of Georgia to furnish free
to those who can not attend & tech
nological school in the day time, or.
who are not financially able to stand
the expense, exactly the same kind of
training in a night school without any
cost whatever, except the $3 contin
gent fee on registration.
Registration this year begins Mon
day, December 8, and goes through
the 11th. By a convenient arrange
ment the boy or man who enters night
school for the winter term loses noth
ing by not having entered in the fall,
lie takes up the, work at the same
point he would have begun it in Sep
tember. All kinds of electrical and
machine-shop work, woodwork, draw
ing, engineering, designing, chemistry,
mathematics and similar branches are
taught. The selection of studies is op
tional.

Food Expert Lectures Between
Trains in Atlanta on ‘'How
to Feed Infants.”
If there is one thing that Interests
Dr. H \V Wiley, food expert, mote
than anything else, it Is pure food for
babies.
That is because Dr. Wiley has a
baby of his own, perhaps—although
he had much to say about milk for
babies long before W. W., Jr., came
along, about nineteen months ago.
Dr. Wiley passed through Atlanta
Wednesday, and between trains at
the Terminal Station he delivered a
lecture, Illustrated (by request) with
the photograph of the youthful scion
of the House of Wiley.
"You put policemen at the cross
ings to save lives—now put them at
the milk bottle from which the ba
bies drink,” he said. "You might be
shocked to learn how many more lives
are sacrificed every year to impure
milk than are lost in traffic acci
dents.”
As to “Doc, Jr.?’ his father says
there was no eugenic mystery' about
the robust health of the young man
"He gets the right sort of food,"
said Dr. Wiley. "After weaning, the
little fellow had the milk of a Hol
stein cow, tuberculine-tested and in
every respect healthy."
