quitted of the charge of murdering
>r. Helen Knabe, who was found dead
n her apartments in Indianapolis with

Judge Blair instructed the jury to
dnd for the defendant on the ground
that the State had failed to establish
*• sufficiently strong ease to warrant
the trial proceedings, The defense d 4 J
not introduce a single witness. The
verdict was popular.
Judge Blair stated that in his opin

Knabe were those of kindness and re
spect rather than infatuation and
love.
“There is no evidence whatever that
the defendant was ever engaged to
marry Miss Knabe or even contem
plated marriage, said the court.
Dr. Craig and his daughter, Marian,
sat unmoved when the judge instruct
ed the jury to acquit him. The Jury
remained out but five minutes and re

This was the good new? sent out

country “have at last begun to lay,”
and already many poultry owners are

But mental activity is dependent for its success-making
results, upon the way both body and brain cells are fed.
f r
Right feeding isn’t a matter of quantity—most persons
actually eat too much. But the selection of the right kind
of food helps wonderfully to make men and women active
and successful.
The fact is, some exery-day articles of food are so lack
ing in certain food values as to make their common use more
or less a menace to physical and mental well-being. (Consti
pation and a run-down physical condition are readily traced
to this lack.)
Particularly is this true of food made from white flour,
which is robbed of most of the mineral phosphates of the
grain when the bran-coat is thrown out in the milling
process. Scientists have long recognized this menace to
health, and many people are waking up to it.
»
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
made from the whole wheat and malted barley, retains the
mineral phosphates, as well as all other nutritive values of
the grains. Grape-Nuts, as the cereal part of one s diet, per
fectly supplies what white flour foods lack.
Grape-Nuts is long baked, most easily
digested, and is ready-to-eat direct from
the package—fresh, crisp and delicious.

tains in a roaring 42-rnile-an-hoiir
gale and giving Atlanta a dux of
weather that was colder than the host
he could do in 1912, winter opened up
Tuesday morning with an even colder
snaj than that which boomed trade
and made the coal dealer glad Mon
day.
At 7 o’clock Tuesdax morning the
mercury in the official thermometers
was a trifle lower than Monday morn
ing at the same hour, though the dif
ference was not noticeable to the man
on the street.
Unless the forecaster has read his
signs wrong the cold weather will
continue throughout the day, and
mostly throughout December, al
though there are no more winds on
the weather docket like the one that
swirled and roared around Atlanta’s
corners Sunday night.
<\ F. YonHerrmann. official weajher
prognosticator, declared Tuesdax that
while every day in December will not
be so cold as Monday and Tuesday,
the warm days will be the exception
and not the rule from now until after
(’liristmas. Overcoats that have lain
for months in tin* grip of the moth
ball were very much in order Monday

Clements May Win;
President Wavers
Reports from Washington indicate
that President Wilson has assumed
an attitude much more favorable to
the reappointment of Judge Judson
Clements, of Georgia, on the Inter
state Commerce Commission than
was at first understood. The strong
indorsements of the Southerner and
the argument that his experience is
greatly heeded by the commission
since' ii lost its senior member by
resignation, have had their effect.
Senator Robert M. LaFollette is
mentioned as one of the most active
supporters of Judge Clements. It is
said in Washington that he has told
the President the Senate may reject
any nominee in Judge Clements’
| place.

Man wants but little here below, and

Cynical persons may declare that
there are a lot of jokes on the Atlanta
police department, but cynics. pe!S«i-
mists and optimists are off in a bunch
with ihe assertion that Sergeant George
Bullard is the prize joker of the de
partment. Bullard is a quiet, fine look
ing sort of person who keeps hie mouth
shut and his eyes and ears onen, and he
has a lot of dry humor In him that Is
prone to break out verx unexpectedly.
It happens that Tom Bane, who la the
turnkey on the evening watch. Is al
ways doing a lot of work back in the
cells, and has to come on the run when
ever a prisoner is brought In. For the
purpose of getting some speed te the
coming <>f Toni and ths other turnkeys,
there is an electric push button in the
sergeant s office. But Sergeant Bullard
didn’t think it rang loud enough so he
got h cracked cowbell and hung it on
a nail. Now when he wants Bane, he
summons him with a ring that resounds
throughout the length and breadth of
Decatur street, for a cracked cowbell
wielded by a practical Joker can turn
loose about the wierdest assortment of
noises there are.

Buying Bookkeeping
The other day a man said he had
no use for an adding’ machine be
cause—“my bookkeeper wouldn’t
hax-e enough work to do.”
J ust think what that man said.
He is trying to do his work in the
slowest way hr can, just to keep a
bookkeeper busy.
The thing for him to do is to cut
down the amount of work that the
bookkeeper is doing, and then give
the bookkeeper some other work
that, would be sales-producing—
more profitable to him and the
bookkeeper.
Of course you see the point—
write or phone for a demonstration.
