Committee Investigating ‘Graft’
Charges Not Expected to Con- !
sider Impeachment Action.
Reports in political circles are that
tie conclusion of the sensational
*raft investigation of City Klectri-
ian 1 timer will be a severe repr -
mand for Turner by the investigating
committee. Though Attorney Aldine
Chambers. representing the Cotton
States Electric Company, which
brought the charges, has outlined to
the committee that it has dear
grounds to impeach Turner if it de-
>ires to 1 take up the tight, the genera!
belief among those who have kept up
closely with the vidence is that the
ommittee will not take so radical a
view.
Mayor Woodward has been a con
stant attendant at the meetings, and
even Tie "has no positive opinions
about what should be done.
The investigating committee, com
posed of the Board of Electrical Con
trol and the Council Electric Eights
Committee, will meet Friday to make
up its report.
Turner Put on Grill.
The most interesting feature of the
dose of the investigation Thursday
afternoon was the grilling of Electri
cian Turner. Turner was relucta tt
to : answer many Questions, frequent
ly replying with sharp evasions.
He presented a large number of Te
mpts showing, he said, his campaign
disbursements
"These receipts don’t seem to cor
respond with the dates on which yoo
rec eived the payments from the Elek-
tron Company," said-Chambers.
"I can’t help that,” replied Turner.
"Can you tell me a single man or
corporation to whom you paid this
money?” insisted Chambers.
"The receipts show it." said Turner.
Attorneys in Clash.
The question was repeated several
times "With no more direct response
from Turner-.
"Mr. Chairman, interposed Attor
ney Carl Hutcheson, “he has an
swered that question forty times.”
"No. no, not that many.” said
Chambers. "I think .the attorney
must be confused by thinking of ‘For-
tv Thieves.’”
"Now, you need not get so per
sonal.” replied Hutcheson, coloring.
"You’re a young man ” sa:J
> ’hambers.
"Yes, and able to take care of m\-
sdf.” answered Hutcheson.
Chairman Haverty* said such re
marks would not be permitted and
the hearing was resumed.

The sale of Red Cross Christmas
seals went merrily on Friday morn
ing. and Mrs. Luther Rosser, Jr.,
was elated over the sue-ess of the
movement which she is heading.
"We sold more than $30(1 worth
yesterday,” Mrs. Rosser said, “and
that makes about $700 for two day
! think 'we did mighty well, when it
is considered that I had only 29 girls
helping me. and of those only four
or five worked all day.”
Mrs. Willet, general chairman, said:
"We are just starting, .and in a few
days we will be averaging more than
$500 a day. The girls are becoming
really interested now. and more and
more are taking up teh work. We
an rely will reach that million-stamp
mark by the evening of December
24.”
Friday morning Mrs. J. Wade Conk-
ling. chairman of the open-air school
committee of the Anti?Tuberculosis
Association, departed with a party of
young women from in front of the
Gould Building to distribute the seals
to all the schools in Atlanta. The
teachers will asign them to their pu
pils. who will sell them until Decem

If You Eai Heartily,
Educate Your Bowels
Food Nourishes if It Does Not
Impact: Take Jacobs' Liver
Salt Before Breakfast.
The prevailing complaint of civiliza
tion is malnutrition and inactivity of
liver and bowels, for the higher man
advances the richer becomes his diet,
with a heavier percentage of , waste
which impacts arid retards elimination,
then ferments and poisons the system,
resulting in constipation. Indigestion,
headache, biliousness and rheumatism.
05 per cent of all diseases originate in
the diciestive tract, says Dr. Charcot,
the French scientist. .Food poisoning
destroys strength and resiliency and the
system succumbs to malevolent germs.
But it is not the food itself which de
stroys; it is impaction and fermenta
tion.
Jacobs' Liver Salt before breakfast
gives a gentle flushing inside, loosens
Impact waste and washes away fermen
tation and uric acid accumulate, with
the natural elimination. If you arc con
stipated or bilious, have a sick headache
and feel down and out. Jacobs' Liver
Salt on arising will put you in splendid
shape. It never gripes or forces
like Calomel and blue mass. Calo
mel is a dangerous mercurial drug
which crashes through the system and
leaves it shaken and weak. Jacobs'
Liver Salt acta just as surely, but gent
ly and naturally, and is better.
Jacobs’ Liver Salt before breakfast
is agreeable and enerqlzino. The best
liver reciulator for everybody. All drug-,
gists. 25c. Made and guaranteed by
