DOUBLED IN STATE
Report Of State Fire Inspector Shows
Big Increase In Georgia During
The Past Vear
NUMBER GF MEN ARRESTED
Six Convicted Of Arson And Now In
Penitentiary And Twenty-Five
More To Da Tried
Atlanta.
State Fire Inspector W. R. Joyner,
in his annual report to the insurance
department, submitted, shows that,
there has, during the year just ended,
been almost twice as many incendi¬
ary fires in Georgia as during the pre¬
vious year. He says: “As stale fire
inspector, I have, during the year 1915,
made 101 investigations of suspicious
tires as against 60 during 1914. 1 have
had a number of persons arrested,
charging them with arson, Six have
been convicted on that charge and
are now serving time in the penitenti¬
ary, and twenty-five other true bills
have been returned by grand juries
over the state, and are now in the
hands of proper officials for trials in
the near future. Most of the accused
parties are out under bond, but sever¬
al are in jail.”
Fulton Whiskey For May $21,600
During the month of May, the first
month o4- strict prohibition in Atlanta,
less than 8,000 packages of liquor
were reported-to the office of the Ful¬
ton county ordinary as having been
shipped^ into- the county from outside
of the- state. "• '
The average cost 6f a quart of whis¬
key beifig $1.35, a total of about $21
600 was seftt out of the state to distill¬
ers elsewhere for those approximate
8,000 packages, assuming that each
package contained the legal limit of
two quarts; and should this importa¬
tion continue- J itr the same ratio
throughout the twelve months, a total
of approximately $259,200 would be
sent out- Of Fulton county for liquor
during the year.
Victor Innes Found Guilty
Victor InneS'was found guilty in an
hour' and sentened to seven years in
the penitentiary. His wife broke into
tears; and the voice of the prisoner
was husky with emotion as he rose to
his feet and begged the leniency of
the court. Seven years is the maxi-
nVum sentence for larceny after trust,
oh which the man was convicted in
the Nelms case. He announced that
whatever else he might have to say
additional to his remarks to the court
would he reserved for the appeal to
the court of appeals.
Mrs. Innes will probably not be ar¬
raigned until the fall of this year.
Unable to obtain bond, she will re¬
main in jail until the hour of trial, it
is reported. She is in a weakened
condition in an advneed stage of tu¬
berculosis.
Judge Russell Retires
Judge Richard B. Russell, chief
judge of the Georgia court of appeals,
retired from the bench, June 5, in ac¬
cordance with the terms of his res¬
ignation submitted to and accepted
by Governor Harris several months
ago. brilliant term
This closes a long and
for Judge Russell upon the appellate
bench. Something in the nature of an
expression of his appreciation of his
services to the state was his appoint¬
ment by Governor Harris as a trus¬
tee of the Georgia Normal and Indus¬
trial college at Milledgeville, and this
appointment was particularly apropos
in view of the fact that Judge Russell
was the author and introducer of the
first hill ever introduced in the Geor¬
gia legislature looking to the estab¬
lishment of school for girls similar to
the Normal at Miledgeville. Judge
Russell introduced this hill in the
house in 1887 and, although the bill
failed of passage at that time, it con¬
templated the establishment of just
such a school ’as thh normal.
“Peach” County Proposed
The coming session of the legisla¬
ture will have a new county question
to settle this year.
This proposed county does not seek,
in. its name, to honor any favorite son
or historic event in Georgia, but some¬
thing which has spread the favorable
fame of the state further, perhaps,
than any other thing the state has
produced, namely, the Georgia peach.
It is proposed that this county, if
created, shall be called “Peach coun-
ty.” this county
The plan is to carve
from the territory of Houston and Ma-
con counties, which are in the heart
of the peach belt. The proposed coun¬
ty seat is Fort Valley, in Houston
county, and the line in Macon county
is proposed to run about two miles

gballville in the territory of the new

THOUSANDS THRONG GATE
CITY TO SEE SHRINE PARADE
Hosts Of Members Of Temples In
Many Cities Arrive For Elab¬
orate Ceremonial
Atlanta—
For the second time in the brief
space of two years Atlanta was host¬
ess to several thousand nobles of the
Mystic Shrine, and, acting with a
knowledge gained by previous expe¬
rience, she met her guests at the
gates of the city with the glad hand
and smile of welcome, and said: “The
city is yours, do as you like,” and
verily they proceeded to do so.
The morning hours were taken up
by the arrival of the various caravans,
their reception and conducting the
pilgrims to their tents within the city,
so they could unloose their sandals,
shake out the sands of the desert,
spread their prayer rugs and thank
Allah they had arrived safely in the
oasis Of Atlanta..
The parade, which formed in the
manner indicated in previous exposi¬
tions of this outpouring of Shrinedom,
moved, as all other parades dor—about
half an hour late. But that only served
to make it the more interesing when
it did come, and it served to carry
out the wishes of Illustrious Potentate
Walter Pharaoh Andrews as an event
(o bring the Shriners of the south¬
eastern states closer together and cre¬
ating a closer bond of union and fel¬
lowship among them.
Conspicuous figures in the parade
were Illustrious Potentate Andrews of
Yaarab Temple, and Past Potentate
John A. llynds, with the guest of hon¬
or, W. Freeland Kendrick, illustrious
potentate of Lulu temple, Philadel¬
phia, and high priest and prophet of
the Imperial council; behind them
rode in automobiles the party of no¬
bles who journeyed from Philadelphia
to asisst, Yaarab in this great cere¬
monial.
Georgian To File Claims
Since the announcement that the
house committee on claims, in the na¬
tional congress, has voted to allow
the claim of John H. Christy, elected
as a member of congress at that time,
under section 2, and never allowed to
take his seat, there is no .further ques¬
tion about six other claims for the
same reason will be filed with con¬
gress. One of these will be the heirs
of the late Philip Cook, father of the
present secretary of state, who was
elected at the same time from the
Second district.
As is recited in the commissions is¬
sued to the Georgia members of con¬
gress at that time, under section 2 of
article 1 of the Constitution of the
United States, an election was held
on November 15, 1865, to select a
member from each of the seven Geor¬
gia districts, to serve for two years
from the third of the preceding March.
Several of the congressmen-eleet
had previously been officers in the
Confederate army and at least two of
them bore the rank of general. When
they went to Washington to take their
seats they were confronted with the
fact that congress had not removed
disabilities of former officers in the
Confederate army, and they were re¬
fused admission to congress, and were
allowed no pay. Now, under the : con¬
clusion reached in the case of Chris¬
tie, a year’s pay and milege and ex¬
penses is to be allowed, and further
claims will be filed on the same ba-
sis.
Alabama Troops Want To Come in
A Mexican border situation has de¬
veloped in Georgia. Formal request
has been made on the adjutant gen¬
eral of Georgia by the adjutant gen-
eral of Alabama for permission under
which armed troops of Alabama may
cross the Georgia border and enter
the city of Columbus. General Nash
referred the request to Governor Har¬
ris for directions.
The petition as it is put up to the
Georgia military and executive de¬
partments is that the state of Alabama

Jackson Delegates Seated
Sixteen prospective votes for Jus¬
tice Charles E. Hughes in the Repub¬
lican convention in Chicago went by

which lasted more than six hours,
and at which it was necessary to de¬

Urges Protection Of Capitol
The report of State Fire Marshal
W. R. Joyner of his investigation of
fire conditions at the state capital
building, following recent fires in the

of Gov. Nat E. Harris for several
weeks, will be forwarded by the gov¬
ernor to the coming sessions of the

ATTRACTIVE EGG DISHES.
No man is useless while he has a
friend.
What an absurd thing it is to pass
over all the valuable parts of a man,
and fix our attention on his Infirmities.
—Addison.
Eggs are reasonable in price and
this is the time to enjoy many of the
dishes which are prohi¬
bitive many months of
the year.
1 Escalloped Eggs.—Melt
two tablespoonfuls of
butter and when bub¬
bling hot add two table¬
II spoonfuls of dour; add a
cupful and a half of milk,
and cook slowly until
thick. Butter a baking
dish and place in the bottom a layer
of buttered crumbs, over these lay
three thinly sliced eggs; cover with
half of a fourth of a cupful of chopped
olives and repeat with crumbs and
three more eggs, olives and then the
white sauce. Cover with buttered
crumbs. Salt and pepper should be
used to season the white sauce and a
cupful and a half of crumbs will be
needed. Bake until nicely browned.
Jam Omelet. —Beat the yolks of five
eggs until light and lemon colored;
add a tablespoonful of powdered su¬
gar, and three tablespoonfuls of milk
mixed with a teaspoonful of corn¬
starch. Fold in the stiffly beaten
whites of eggs and cook in a buttered
frying pan until set, then spread with
jam and fold; serve as a dessert.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and
garnish with jam.
Coffee Custard.—Scald two cupfuls
of milk with two tablespoonfuls of
ground coffee; strain after it is well
steeped, add three beaten eggs, a
fourth of a cupful of sugar, a pinch
Of salt. Strain into cups and set in
hot water to bake until firm. Flavor
with a few drops of vanilla or cbffee
extract.
Lacto.—Beat two eggs, add two cup¬
fuls of sugar and four and a half -cup¬
fuls of sour milk, a half cupful each
of any desired fruit (such as cherry,
grape, strawberry, raspberry) and
lemon juice. Mix in the order given
and freeze as iee cream. This is one
of the most refreshing and wholesome
of frozen dishes. Buttermilk is often
used in place of sour milk, making a
richer ice than with plain milk.
Chopped hard cooked eggs added to
a white sauce and served on buttered
toast makes a most satisfying dish
for luncheon or supper.
fireless cookstove.
The original cooker, the hay box,
was most useful for all cooking, by
H steam, or hot water, as
the heat was supplied
by a large body of water
or liquid in which the
mm food was placed, and
brought to the boiling
^ point, the hay acting as
insulation to keep the
heat from dissipating.
As there are many foods that can¬
not be properly cooked in water, the
modern caloric cookstove was invent¬
ed, so that now baking and roasting
may be done as well as stewing and
boiling. The metal compartments
with the steatites or stones for heat¬
ing hold the heat for the desired
baking or roasting.
The following dishes may be pre¬
pared and cooked in the flreless cook¬
er. You may go to town and do your
shopping, make a call or spend the af¬
ternoon with a friend, or go to church
on Sunday and your meal will go right
on cooking as well as if you were
there.
Irish Stew. —Take a pound and a
half of mutton, cut in small pieces,
brown two onions, sliced, in two ta¬
blespoonfuls of butter. Add the meat,
one carrot, eight small potatoes, one
stalk of celery, pepper and salt to
taste. Add boiling water to cover.
Put into the cooker with one hot ra¬
diator; cook four hours.
Beef a la Mode.— Take five pounds
from the uhder portion of the round,
the toughest part; wipe and trim off
all rough edges. Put Into an earthen
dish and pour over it a spiced vinegar,
using pepper, cloves, allspice, three
teaspoonfuls of salt, one cupful of
vinegar, one chopped onion and a half
a teaspoonful of mustard; the same
amount of the other spices. Let the
meat stand overnight or all day, turn¬
ing it occasionally to season evenly.
Then drain, wipe and lard It with ten
or 12 strips of salt pork. Remove it
to a kettle and brown it in hot fat
in which two onions and a half a car¬
rot have been fried. Add enough boil¬
ing water to cover, put in a bag of
herbs, place In the cooker with one
radiator and cook six hours. Serve
with a thickened gravy and potato
balls and small onions.

AGAIN BY DARKENING YOUR
GRAY HAIR WITHOUT DYES.
While it is no disgrace to have
gray, streaked or prematurely gray
hair, it is unnecessary in this day and
time. Simply shampoo your hair and
scalp with Q-Ban Hair Color Restorer.
After doing this a few times not a
trace of gray can be seen, but all your
gray hair and entire head of hair will
have become so evenly dark, soft, fluffy
and healthy that no one would suspect
you had applied Q-Ban. It is no dye,
but a ready-to-use liquid, absolutely
harmless. Big bottle sent prepaid for
only 50c by writing Q-Ban Laborator¬
