MRS. .T. L. F> Waterloo, S C. The .Supreme Court, in the case f 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 !*x for keeping or permitting to be kept Intoxicating liquors in a room for fhc use of Its members is not authorized to sell such liquors to its members Tt left the decision of what con stitutes a sale, however, for juries to determine. In the case of Tayior against the vState. from Bibb, the Court of Ap peals handed down simultaneously a decision virtually setting up the same rule. Jii the Tutonia Club case Tony Cu lm, the manager of the so-called Tu tonia Club in Macon, was enjoined in Judge Matthews’ court by 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, lie appealed to the Supreme Court, and the decision of Judge Matthews was affirmed, but the order of injunction was modified in such wise that Cuteo stands restrained only from selling intoxicating liquors—whatever that Is and his place of business is not nec essarily 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 a locker sys tem. Members were served after al most any old fashion, and not infro- . quently outsiders were served also. I 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 Sta*a to maintain a locker club, could nq£. then be stopped by the State from op erating it. The Supreme Court ruled that Cutro could be made to suffer that very indignity, it, appearing that he was not doing the thing the State auhorized him to do. And that he was doing an unlawful business, the Supreme Court seemed to think Cutro himself admitted. The court of review 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 Jiearing, but that it could not close such place ipermanently as 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 be 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 n1 usance not a nuisance? With plans carefully laid and car- ried out for the creation of great wave of interest in * Go-to-Church Day," the pastors of Atlanta are prepared to set a new high record for church attendance in the city next Sunday. ft is the general opinion among those w’ho have been working most enthusiastically on the proposition- Ihat at leas', twice as many persons will he insiC'j the churches next Sun day as ever have attended on any one day in Atlanta before.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.— The egg corner has been broken, and boycotts may be declared off Tills was the good new* sent ont to-day by the Department of Agri culture “egg specialists,” who an nounced that pullets on the Govern ment farm as well as throughout the country “have at last begun to lay.” and already many poultry owners are reporting a 60 per cent egg produc tion. The reduction In the price of egg* recently is due to the industry of the pullets, according to the Gov ernment specialists, and not to the boycott. This new supply of fresh eggs now beginning to reach the mar ket “necessarily has reacted on the prices at which storage eggs have been held,” savs the report.

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