Atlantans have just equaled this record, but they got a hump on themselves on the last night. The official corkscrew was manipu lated Monday afternoon, the official can opener was Inserted under the lid. Pop! Flxx! Cllnk-lty-clink! ‘There, that’s enough. Here’s hopin’.” Early In the afternoon the news had spread through the sober city that the weather man predicted a slight relief the drought. Those who heard slid off their stools and Into tlielr coats and hastened to get In line. Inside one of the favorite emporiums of liquid luxuries there was a sound as of some one knocking the bung out. Through the key hole drifted the tinkle of glasses whose rims kissed lovingly In anticipation of the toasts to come. To the poet, whose survival througl nine days had made him wonder if h< had In previous incarnation been l cat, a memory of another lover of the cup returned. He murmured: ’’Before tho phantom of sweet memo ries died, Methought a voice within the tavern cried, *When all the toddles are prepared within, 'Why nods the thirsty sufferer out side?* ” "A-Waitln’ at the Dbor." But to the jostling crowd on the sidewalk who waited until the proprie tor could dust off his bar and put on a new apron the time seemed Intermina ble. Down the street a hand organ was playing and a monkey—a real monkey, for this was after a nine days* drought —begged for pennies. The watchers clung to their coin. It was once more worth while to have money. But some one caught up the hand organ’s tune and the crowd sang: ’’Here am I, a-waltln’ at the door. Waitin’ at tho door, waitin’ at the door. I’m goln* to have a dozen beers, or more— My, how it will upset me. By and by, the mayor’ll send a note, Then we’ll simply float, jolly as a goat, Can’t stay away, to wait another day, My thirst won't let me.” Suddenly the sound of a key turning In the lock Interrupted the song. Bock swung the door of llfe-sattng station number one. In rushed the parched and sun-dried ones to where the foun tain of fisx gave forth promise of plen ty. Then they hesitated. They dldfi* know what to order. “All right, gents! Name It! Name It! What's y'ours, sir?" This from the white-aproned ones who are friends to all the world—with the price. They had already had their life-saver. Visions of Bliss. The first man to reach the bar was undecided. Through 4 hls brain rushed a vision of gin rlckeys with sparkling bubbles, juleps with emerald mead ows concealing a mine of Jce, cock tails. with cherries red and green, tall foam-tossed schooners spiling across the bar. He collected himself with a Jerk and spoke. “Gl’mine a Manhattan, a Martini, four beers, a gln-flzz, a quart of bub ble ,water and a sack of salt and let ’em come all together,” he chirped. "I'm here to stay till 10!” The bartender eyed him In reproof. Then he set out a tall bottle of old bourbon, a glass and a chaser. ‘‘You’ll drink straight whisky,” remarked. "What do you think I am? An octopus with a thousand arms? You get busy with that booze. There’s others waitin’.” 8oldiers Storm the Castle. At Broad and Alabama streets an East Point car stopped suddenly, and from both ends dropped soldier after soldier, clad in khaki, and all fum bling toward their pockets. For a mo ment it looked like a riot, but It was only an attack on the fort in the next block. The news had reached Fort McPherson and as many as could get leave had rushed to the front. ”1 wasn't mindin’ goln' to Cuby until now,” remarked Sergeant Boggs to Corporal Biggs, “but to leave now would be desertin’ in the face of the enemy. Let’s kill some more of the enemy. Fill ’em all up again, Char ley. , We’ll be buyln’ Cuban beer at fifty per in a week.” From G o'clock to 10 the saloons were kept too busy to mix a drink. Noth-, ing but straight beer or whisky went during the rush hours, and every re quest for a fizz or a rlckey was frown ed upon and forgotten. When the clos ing hour arrived and the doors were once more closed one proprietor re marked to his white-clad assistant: "I'll bet some of these cuburban fel lers that arrived too late for the big show will be roostin' on the step in the mornln’. Well, It’s been a good day after a long dry spell.” But then— They will be closed tight again on Wednesday. Lection.

No body volunteered to explain the dif ference. Dr. John E. White came to the res cue. He said: "I believe that the constitution meant no limitations of this sort.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient. Instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines. There are some truly scientific phy sicians among tho present generation who recognise and treat conditions ns they are and should be treated, regard less of the value to their pockets. Here’s an instance: "Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay <»n my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who had n sum mer cottage near ine—a specialist from New York—and as a last hope, sent for him. "After he examined mo carefully he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom ach became stronger to eat more. "I kept at it and gradually got so I could ont and digest three tf aspoonfuls. Then I began to have color In tny face, memory became dear, where before everything seemed a blank. My limbs got stronger and I could walk. So 1 stoaillly recovered. •Now, after a year on Ompe-Nuts, I Igh 153 'pounds. My people were surprised ut the way I grew fleshy and strong on this food."
