But Interpretation of What Con
stitutes Liquor and Sales Is,
Left to Juries.
Tin Supreme Court, in the case of
the Tutonia Club against Howard, an
appeal from an injunction in the Su
perior Court of Bibb, to-day decided
that a social club paying a specific tax
for keeping or permitting to be kept
intoxicating liquors in a room for the
use of its members is not authorized
to sell such liquors to its members.
rt left the decision of what con
stitutes a sale, however, for juries to
determine.
In the case of Tayior against the
State, from Bibb, the Court of Ap
peals handed down simultaneously a
decision virtually setting up the same
I rule.
In the Tutonia Club case Tony Cu-
tro. the manager of the so-called Tu
tonia flub in Macon, was enjoined in
Ii Judge Matthews' court b! the Law
Enforcement League from selling in
toxicating liquors to the members cf
the club. His place of business was
declared a nuisance and closed. He
appealed to the Supreme Court, and
the decision of Judge Matthews was
affirmed, but the order of injunction
was modified in such wise that Futrn
stands restrained only from selling
intoxicating liquors—whatever that is
—and his place of business is not nec_
•ssarily to remain closed as a nui
sance.
Outsiders Also Served.
Cutro's place was ostensibly a so
cial club. It had an enrolled mem
bership. collected nominal dues and
theoretically maintained n locker sys
tem. Members wore served after al
most any old fashion, and not infre
quently outsiders were served also.
The place had an internal revenue li
cense and a State locker club license.
Tt. was contended in appeal that Cu-
tro, having been licensed by the Rtfjta
to maintain a locker club, could not
then be stopped by the State from op
erating it. The Supreme Fourt ruled
that Futro could be made, to suffer
if hat very indignity, it appearing that
he was not doing the thing the State
auhorlzed him to do. And that he
was doing an unlawful business, the
Supreme Fourt seemed to think Cutro
himself admitted.
The court of review 7 held that it is
proper for a court of original Jurisdic
tion to close an alleged “blind tiger”
temporarily as a nuisance, for the
purposes of an interlocutory hearing,
but that it could not close*such place
permanently a® a nuisance without a
jury hearing.
Jury Must Decide Cases.
The object of litigation designed :o
determine whether a club is a nui
sance can not be attained permanent
ly through a process of injunction
without jury hearings, so the court
holds; but a defendant may be re
strained permanently from violating
that portion of the prohibition law
which says intoxicating liquors must
not he sold in Georgia.
The points left for the juries of
Georgia to determine, therefore, seem
to he: First, what constitutes a sale
/inside a club, and. second, when is a
niusance hot a nuisance?
Enthusiasm of Ministers Spreads
to Congregations, and Record
Attendance Is Expected.
With plans carefully laid and car
ried out for the creation of great
wave of interest in “Go-to-Chunh
Day,” the pastors of Atlanta are
prepared to set a new high record
for church attendance in the city
next Sunday.
It is the general opinion among
those who have been working most
enthusiastically on the proposition
that at least twice as many persons
will be inslO'y the churches next Sun
day as ever have attended on any
one day in Atlanta before.
The enthusiasm of the ministers
has been imparted to the congrega
tions and every indication points to
ward a record-breaking turnout of
Church-goers. Committees have been
at work in many of the churches and
have seen that every person on the
membership roll has received a per
sonal and urgent invitation to be
present at both the services next
Sunday.
An accurate count will be made at
morning and evening services. Mem
bers will be especially delegated bv I
the pastor to count those in attend
ance and report to him.
Every pastor and rector in Atlanta
Y\ ednesday will receive return post-
cards on which they will enter the
total attendance at both their ser
vices. These they will mall imme
diately after the evening service so
that a compilation quickly may be
made on the following Monday morn
ing.

Egg Corner ‘Busted'
By Accommodating
Hen; Prices Lower
WASHINGTON. Dee. 9.—The egg
corner has been broken, and boycotts
may be declared off.
This wa* the good news sent out
to-day by the Department of Agri
culture "egg specialists,” who an
nounced that pullets on the Govern
ment farm as well as throughout tho
country "have at last begun to lav/*
and already many poultry owners are
reporting a 50 per cent egg produc
tion.
The reduction in the price of eggs
recently is due to the industry of
the pullets, according to the Gov
ernment specialist®, and not to the
boycott. This new supply of fre»h
eggs now beginning to reach the mar
ket “necessarily has reacted on the
prices at which storage egg* have
been held.” says the report

But mental activity is dependent for its success-making
results, upon the way both body and brain cells are fed.
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 every-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. Gra"pe-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.
