RABBI WAS
ARRESTED
Violated Bicyele Ordi
nance and Nabbed
By Officer.
RIDING ON THE SIDEWALK
The Rabbi Gave Bond, However, in
the Sum of $lO and the Case
Was Settled—He Protested
Being Arrested.
Vorially the law is no respeetor
if persons and 'biro in Brunswick you
r>u=t not ride bicycles no the side
walk.
It mattters not whether you be
clergy or layman, you must get in the
middle of the road when you want
to do a little stunt in the scorching
line.
This was more than demonstrated
yesterday morning, when Policeman
John L. Lamb placed under arrest Rab
bi Warsaw, of the synagogue Beth
Tefiloh, on the charge of violating
t'he city ordinance as regards cycling.
It seems that early yesterday morn
ing Dr. Warsaw was very anxious
to reach from the .intersection of
Monk and Newcastle streets to the
corner of Bay and Monk, and in his
anxiety to gain his destination he lost
sight of the street and wended his
way on the sidewalk, mounted, of
course, upon his wheel, Policeman
John L. Lamb, always wide awake
and incidentally one of the best po
licemen Brunswick has ever had, took
in the situation and forthwith nabbed
the rabbi.
Dr. Warsaw protested that he was
a minister of the gospel and should
not he disturbed, hut this did not
please the officer and he compelled
the rabbi to put up a check of SIO.OO
bond money for his appearance in the
police court.
As Dr. Warsaw is to sail for New
Yoi A this morning, however, Mayor
Crovatt was called into the game and
he allowed the ecclesiastical wheelman
to go on his own recognizance.
Officer Lamb was seen in reference
to the arrest and when questioned on
the subject he simply said that he
did not know Dr. Warsaw, saw him
violating a city ordinance, knowing
His duty in the premises, arrested
him.

KELO MEETING

nent Committee on New Indus
tries.—Other Matters Handled
at the Meeting.
The board of trade held its regular
weekly meeting in the city hall yes
terday morning, and while the attend
ance was not as large as it should
have been, considerable business was
transacted by those present.
Among other things, the committee
appointed on new industries last week
rendered a report, which was as fol
lows:
“Your committee appointed on June
11 to consider and report upon a plan
for inviting new industries to Bruns
wick, respectfully report that they
have given the matter earnest consid
eration and has framed a plan for
submission to the board, which further
consideration leads it to believe it
would be premature at this time.
“The committee, therefore, recom
mends that for the present and Imme
diate future the board continue its
efforts to procure new enterprises
upon same lines of effort as have ob
tained In the past, submitting each
hopeful proposition to the people for
action by subscription to bonus, grants
of free sites or other inducements.
“They further recommend that a
committee of five members be appoint
ed by the president of the board of
which committee the president and
secretary of the board shall be ex
offlcio members, making a committee
of seven to consider propositions that
may be submitted when necessay sub
mit same to the board.”
Later in the day President Aiken,
acting under the recommendation of
the specail Committee, appointed the
following well known business men as
the permanent committee on new in
dustries:
F. D. Aiken, C. Downing, C. P.
Goodyear, E. F. Coney, M. Kaiser, J.
J. Lott, C. D. Ogg.
A number of otrer minor matters

A HEALTHY COUPLE.
An Old Soldier of 90 Had Some Cof
fee Experience.
. An old soldier’s wife described her
coffee experience as follows: “My
husband and I have been accustomed
to the use of tea and coffee for a very
great many years and we were very
fond of the coffee.
“Some time ago we received from a
dear friend in St. Louis a Christmas
box that included a package of Pos
tum. I prepared some without read
ing the directions and my husband
said: ‘O nonsense this tastes just like
the crust water that was one of the
luxeries they allowed to invalids SO
years ago.’ Then I looked up the dir
ections, made the Postum as it should
be made and we both found it delici
ous.
“My husband is a broken down sol
dier and was a dyspeptic and suffered
from from headaches but from the
time we commenced to drink Postum
we have not ®aken a cup of tea or
coffee. During the hot Weather we
have eaten no meat, depending for
food upo the Grape-Nuts. My dear
husbands headaches have disappeared
since we left off the coffee and began
Postum, and I find myself mentally
stronger and much better able to con
centrate my thoughts than for several
years past. Husband has a good ap
petite now and uotheing disturbs l.is
stomach.
“I believe that when mothers come
to pay more attention to their child
rens' diet there will be more health
and happiness in the world in domes
tic life generally. Little by little this
change must come.
"Yours very sincerely for all that
pertains to health and happiness. Use
our names if you wish.” Names furn
ished by Postum Cos., Battle Creek,
Mich.
This letteer is in the hand-writing
of the old lady herself and there are
many people half her years who can
not write halfssfo f good a letter. The
cast is one of remarkabe vitality and
apparently the only ills of their old
age were those due to coffee drink
ing. These disappeared when Postum
was used Id place of coffee,

NEW ENGINEER
TO BE INVITED
Col. Quinn, of Savannah,
Will Be Asked t© Visit
Brunswick.
IN CHARGE OE RIVER WORK
Congressman Brantley Called Atten
tion of the Board of Trade to
Thi s Important Matter at Meet
ing Yesterday.
At meeting of the board of trade
held yesterday Congressman W. G.
Brantley, of the Eleventh district, at'
the invitation of President Aiken, 1
made an interesting address in which '
he took occasion to call the atten- |
tion of the hoard of trade to a rather
important oversight. j
It appears that the hoard has not'
made any effort to invite Coi. J. B.
Quinn, United States engineer, re
cently appointed to succeed Captain
Gillett, engineer in charge at Savan
nah.
After Col. Brantley concluded his
remarks a motion prevailed that a
committee of the board of trade
invite Col. Quinn to visit Bruns
wick. The committee was named as
follows:
Hon. W. G. Brantley, Col. W. E.
Kay, and F. D, Aiken This commit
tee yesterday afternoon prepared a
very attractive invitation to Col.
Quinn, inviting him to pay Brunswick
a visit.
As Col. Quinn is directly in charge
of all work done in this district, the
importance of this action on the part
of the board of trade is very mani
fest. The News understands that in
the event of Col. Quinn not respond
ing to this invitation that the commit
tee so appointed will personally visit
Savannah and extend the invitations.
This is a matter of deep concern
to the people of Brunswick and it
is to be hoped that the citizens gen
erally will cooperate with the com
mittee in its effort to have Col. Quinn
come officially and take a look
at Brunswick .

Miss Blanche Forsyth, of Sr,. S'moti,
