MRS. J. L. F. Waterloo, S G. 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.

Dee. 9.—The egg corner has been broken, and boycotts may be declared off.

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 COUNTESS STARTS DIVORCE.

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. “There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts Sold by grocers everywhere.
