The accomplishments of Ananias
and the imagination of Baron Mun

testimony of a negro named Luclns
Pace In Judge Roan’s court Wednes
day eclipsed all records.
Pace waa on trial for the robbing of
the house of a negro named George
Underwood, north of Atlanta, 'a few
weeks ago, and with shooting a boy
named Will Culbert', who Uvea with
the latter. The testimony showed that
the prisoner had entered the house,
stolen a bottle of whisky, after break
ing open a trunk with a flat iron, had
shot the Culbert boy, who tried to stop
him, and had later been captured and
turned over to the police by Under
wood. '. t

Did You
Ever
Know
How It feels to be perfectly well?
Perfectly wall means a lot. Not an
Ache, all or protest of any kind from
body or mind.
The Heaven of perfect polee when
the life forces drWe rich, strong red
blood through the veins find DU one
with an Indefinable Joy, when nature
and all the world seems to be sending
caresses to you.
Then tbe sky Is beautiful whether It
be gray or a deep restful-'eternity-
reaching blue or covered with softly
moulded, round bosomed clouda lastly
floating about and tbe breeze Is kind
and sweet whether It smooth your
cheek with the soft touch of the wo
man who lovea you or energetically
fills your lungs with tbe strong tonic of
life. ' \- ■
Trees nod, tbe fallen leave* frisk
about In fairy grace, flowecS smile and
spnd their fragrance and every friend
you meet seems a warm hearted broth
er reaching out tor companionship.
Perhaps an open Ore beckons, beside
which tabby purrs out her soft song
of peace. Harmony from every side
greets fhe harmony within and there
steals over one from head to foot the
subtle, sensuous tingle of warm new
blood, the perfect poise of a well-fed
nervous system.
All this Is absolute evidence that the
possessor has been fed right and
should stick to that kind of food and
habits which have produced the result.
The facts stand forth and the conclu
sions are certain. If trouble, distress
and Inharmony fill tbe days and blot
out the rightful peace every human be
ing has . right to change the food.
It your present method of feeding
makes Imperfect cells and falls to
build the soft gray matter In brain
and nerve centres scattered over the
body, look alive, Quit tbe old diet and
take on a new and better one. That’s
plain common sense. Right then la the
exact time to quit coffee absolutely
sad select meela wisely. Suppose you
try for breakfast,
A little fruit.
A dish of Grape-Nuts and cream,
Two aoft-botled eggs,
A cup of Postum Food Coffee.
Step at that, It will carry you easily
until the midday meal, which can be
either n lunch of the same things (If
a dinner Is expected at night) or the
heavy meal can be taken «t midday.
Take only one heavy meal In a day
In addition to the two light ones.
At tbe heavy meal have one good
meat course, with one or two vegeta
bles, and a rich, aweet Grape-Nuts
pudding. After a few day* on these
meals a change for -the better will
come over tbe body In practically ev
ery case where the disease has not
become too firmly flxeil and chronic.
Remember health la a matter of
wisely selected food and a harmoni
ous mind. It will be a tremendous
help to read the little book, ’The
Road to WeltvHle." found In pkgs. of
Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Thera’s a Reason” and a pro
found one. 1 * i
testify In hlk’ bi-n behalf ho had- the
benefit of 'a plea of not guilty, but
when hi* lawyer heard hie weird tale
he withdrew ‘the plea and allowed his
client to get a sentence of ten years
without further ado.
Pace led elf his memorized testi
mony, which he treated after the man
ner of a school boy dealing with nn
Ill-remembered declamation, with the
statement that Underwood was
"grand rascal,” and had set fire to hts
(Pace’s) house. How did he know?
Because Underwood didn’t love him as
much as some people did.
In explaining haw the Culbert boy
got allot, the prisoner said the boy had
stolen something from the house him
self and hnd requested him (Paee) to
kindly shoot In his direction as he ran,
and that he "accidentally shot ths kid
In the stomach."
But In telling liow he won captured,
he told a tale which would have made
the Spanish Inquisition seem prompted
by the ralllt of human kindness. Not
only did he have twelve or thirteen
pistols'shoved In hts face arid get
about that many, commands to pray,
but he was compelled, so he said, to
get down on his knees In the woods
and eat dirt a la "mumble de peg."
Not only Is all this contradicted by
other and more reputable witnesses,
but the county officers have pretty
good evidence that the house that was
burned was set on fire by Pace htm-
self after being packed with install
ment-plan furniture jin which he hud
made no payments. It has even been
proven that he stole the pistol with
which he shot the Culbert. boy.

J. C. Logan, sec re tary •’of the Asso
elated Charities, was placed in the rath
er unique position of haVIng'to have
beggar arrested Wednesday, Instead of
meeting his wants, as la the custom
with the institution, which he repre
sents.
It happened In this way:
Mrs. Ellen Stovall, who gives Her
home as Chattanooga, went around the
streets to the different stores of the
city Wednesday begging for money for
the expressed purpose of getting to her
brother In Savannah.
On the petition fur aid, which she
handed around, Was the statement that
the Associated .Charities was Instru
mental In securing half-fare tickets for
her and her husband. One.who saw
thla and fefc an Interest In the chart
ties, called up Mr. Logan, and told him
about It. He, of course, stated that the
Associated Charities had not heard of
the woman or tbe petition before.
Shortly after Mrs. Stovall came tq
Mr. Logan's office. She Bail had a new
petition drawn up, In which her par
ticular appeal to the charitably In-
ell* of Atlanta was the great misfor-
tune of her husband, who had consump
tion, chills and a broken arm—that's
all.
She said her husband was at the
Farmers' Exchange, hotel, on Decatur
street. Mr. Logan started to the hotel
to Investigate.. When Mr. Logan and
Mrs. Stovall arrived r,t the Patera
bulldlng-the hero.of that pathetic pe
tition waa standing at the entrance,
waiting for the return of the latter.
Stovall Was taken to a physician and
thoroughly examined.
Despite the fact that the bones
seemed a little rusty from lack of uae,
and there was some doubt as to
whether hla heart was In the Tight
place, the physician declared that Sto'-
vall waa In the pink of condition.
Mr. Logan had. the man arrested fof
vagrancy. He. says If It Is true, that
Mrs. Stovall bos a brother In Savannah
nnd he can help them, the Associated
charities Will send-both to Savarinah.

HARDWOOD GETTING SCARCE;
FORESTRY EXPERT’S VIEWS
H. B. Holroyd of the forest aervlce.
United States department of agricul
ture, has been engaged especially. in
this work for the past five years. For
over a year Mr. Holroyd has made a
special study of timbers used Iq the ve
hicle trade.
“For some years our forestry men
K alktd of the growing scarcity of hard-
roods and timber of all kinds. A few
years ago many manufacturers laughed
at us, and we stopped. Now the man
ufacturers have waked up to It, and
they are doing all the talking/' said
Mr. Holroyd to a reporter of The Geor-'
glan.
"In the manufacture of vehicles there
Is no timber that will take the place
of hickory save, perhaps, the eucalyp
tus, the growth of which Is confined
almost entirely to California. The for.
estry department has made aome ex
periments along this line, but not to
an extent to prove conclusively that tt
Is as valuable as hickory.
‘The catalpus can be grown In the
South, and there Is going to be a con
siderable development In scientific for.
estatlon In this tree in the next few
years, tt Is of rapid growth, and re
sists decay remarkably well. It Is very
valuable for posts, crosstlsa and similar
Uses, and many great railroad systems
are growing It.
"The South has more hickory now
than any other section of the country,
but even thla Is golnjt to be exhausted
within a few years unless some atten
tion Is paid to scientific forestation."
