The Supreme Y'onrt, in rhe case if
the Tufonia Club agalnirt Howard, m
appeal from an Injunction in the Su
perior Court of Bibb, to-day decided
that a »oclal club paying a specific tax
for keeping or permitting to be kept
intoxicating liquor* In a room for the
use of Its member* 1* not authorized
to sell auch liquors to Its members
If left the decision of what con
stitutes a sale, however, for juries to
determine.
In the case of Taylor against the
{State, from Bibb, the Court of Ap
peals handed down simultaneously a
| decision virtually setting up the same
rule.
In the Tutonia Club case Tony Cu-
tro. Ihe manager of the so-called Tu
tonia Club in Macon, was enjoined In
j Judge Matthews’ court by the Law
Enforcement League from selling in
toxicating liquors to the members <f
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 Cutro
stands restrained only from selling
intoxicating liquors—whatever that Is
—and his place of business Is not nec_
essarlly to remain closed as a nui
sance.
Outsider* Also Served.
f’utro's place was ostensibly a so
cial club. It bad 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 infre
quently outsiders were served also.
The place had an Internal revenue li
cense and a State locker club license.
It was contended in appeal that Cu-
tro, having been licensed by the Stats
to maintain a locker club, could not
then be stopped by the State from op
crating it. The Supreme Court ruled
that Outro could be made to suffer
that 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 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 hearing,
but that 1t could not close such place
permanently us a nuisance without a
Jury hearing.
Jury Must Decide Cases.
The object of litigation designed o
determine whether a club is a nul-
Rance can not be attained permanent
ly through a process of injunction
without Jury hearing*, 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 be: First, what constitutes a sale
Inside a club. and. second, when is a
niusance not a nuisance?

ried out. for the creation of great

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
oi 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 cfertain 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.
