eleventh hour, comes an appeal from
a new r quarter—and more than 200
little chaps that had been overlooked
now are turning their big eyes won-
deringiy, hopefully toward the mys
terious realm of Santa *Claus I*and
and the coast of the bright Christ
mas Country.
Are THEY going to he passed by
this Christmas?
Come on. good friends of all the
world-—don’t pass up this pitiful lit
tle 200. Tl ank goodness, we re g<*t
to the stage of civilization where
< ’hr. st mas doesn’t seem like Christ
mas simply because the stockings of
our own kids are filled to running
over.
One Final Spurt, Now.
We’ve got to fill the other kids’
stockings too. or it can’t he a really
Merry Christmas.
One short, sharp rally, folks good
friends of the children. Let’s whirl
in and settle this thing RIGHT NOW,
for we haven’t much time to think
about it.
AND WE DON’T NEED TO
THINK ABOUT IT’
You know what the empty stock
ing means to a child. You know, for
we've just been telling you that there

chaps fa rim? that tragedy of child
hood next Thursday morning

The Georgian isn’t assuming any
credit for this splendid. generous
work of filling the empty stockings

Twenty-three Beer Dealers Under
Warrants and Seven Places
Enjoined Under Tiger Act.
SAVANNAH, Dec. 28.—With 23
near-beer saloonkeepers under war
rants charging them with violations
of the prohibition act and seven in
junctions to close places under the
old blind tiger nuisance act, the anti
saloon movement that sprang Into
existence after the recent lecture of
Seaborn Wright to-day is assuming
large proportions. \
W. 3. Stubbs, the man at the head,
made the statement that he would not
stop until every place in the city
was closed. He acted, he said, in
time to save large quantities of
whisky being shipped out of the city
to country places in the two States.
It is the first time since the prohibi
tion act was enacted that the saloon
men of the city are. genuinely alarm
ed.
They have retained Osborne &
Lawrence, prominent attorneys, to
defend the first 50 cases that will be
made, and when the injunctions come
up for a hearing December 24 they
will ask that the court make the
prosecutor, Stubbs, give them an in
demnity bond for the losses while
the cases are pending and the places
closed. *
Should the judge rule that the pros
ecutor indemnify the keepers it will
be a serious blow to the prosecution,
as it will take several thousand dol
lars.

city have got it in for me and are
pursuing me. They followed me home
last night and after I went to bed
they knocked on my door and wanted
in. I told them to get away, and a
great crowd of them came in through
the keyhole. They carried ropes, and
said they were going to hang me. I
begged them not to do it, and they
finally* decided that they wouldn’t.
They left the room then, and later
another crowd came in and saicl^hey
guessed they’d shoot me. I couldn’t
talk them out of it, and when they
started after me with their guns 1
tried to get atfay from them.”

Yacht Burns When
Fuel Tank Blows Up
SAVANNAH, Dec. 23.—The trim little
yacht Gertie, which Thomas H. Mc
Millan, Jr., built and named for his
mother, w as destroyed .by fire yesterday
when the gasoline tank exploded. W. B.
Boyle, who was on board, barely escaped,
with his life.
“ What made you
reject that man?”
I asked an army sergeant
on recruiting service, as a
broad shouldered would-be
soldier was turned away.
“Bad teeth!” replied the ser
geant. You would be surprised
to know that from six to eight
percent, of the recruits apply
ing for enlistment in the U. S.
Army within one year were re
jected because of defective teeth
alone. And that thirty-five per
cent, of the catarrhal cases in the
U. S Army were directly trace
able to diseased oral conditions."
Perfect cleanliness of the
teeth is absolutely essential to
Good Health. A pleasant, sure
way to perfect cleanliness is the
