URGING GREAT SALE
OF CANNED FOODS
Dealers, grocers, jobbers and manufac
turers all over the country are joining
hands during the week of March 31st to
April sth in an effort to acquaint house
wives with the economy and quality or
canned foods.
It is now a weH known fact that neat
is the only preservative used In preparing
these economical foods. The cans are
sealed and sterilized at a temperature of
250 degrees, which prevent? any contami
nation and keeps the contents fresh and
wholesome as the day the tins were tilled
in the canneries.
National Canned foods Week, during
which dealers arid grocers will make
canned foods their saies-features, is for
the purpose of demonstrating to house
wives that the cost of living can be cut
with such foods, and that they may be
served in hundreds of delightful ways,
and thus served daily without monotony.
The farmer's wife especially finds It ad
vantageous to relieve herself of all the
cooking possible and Canned Foods en
able her to do this and at the some time
improve the quality of her meals.
Women In every community should ol>-
gerve National Canned Foods Week by
going to the dealers and putting in a sup
ply. The saving and general satisfaction
Tn the use of Canned Foods is entirely
worth whlle.—Adv.

When Fred Kelly made a start in
journalism he was put on reporting.
One night he was sent to a big fire
down town. A reporter named
Brown was sent with him. It was a
large fire, and presently Brown dis
appeared. A wall had fallen, and
Kelly was sure Brown was under it.
He rushed to the telephone and called
up his city editor.
"Say," he shouted into the tele
phone, "Brown is gone. He’s burned
up!”
"What’s that?’ 'asked tEe^City edi
tor.
"Brown is burned up, I tell you. He
fell into the fire.”
"All right,” said the city editor,
hanging up the telephone. “I'll send
down another man.”
Reasonable Favor.
“So you have determined to sue mo
for breach of promise?”
"Yes.”
“With damages?”
"Os course."
"Well, say. I’ve got just one favor
to ask of you. Don't sue me for less
than |IOO,OOO. I haven't got a dollar
In th” ..world that I can call my own
and it might help my credit.”

THE KNOW HOW
To Feed Children and Get Good Re
sults.
There are more nervous persons
made so by undigested food lying in
the stomach than the average indi
vidual would suppose.
If food remains undigested in the
stomach, it begins to ferment, set up
gas and a large portion is thus con
verted into poison.
That’s why imperfectly digested food
may, and often does, cause irritation
of the nerves and stupor of the mind—
brain and nerves are really poisoned.
"My daughter had complained for
some time of a distressed feeling in
the stomach, after eating, which set
me thinking that her diet was not
right,” writes an anxious and intelli
gent mother.
“She had been fond of cereals, but
had never tried Grape-Nuts. From
reading the account of this predigest
ed food, it seemed reasonable to try
Grape-Nuts for her case.
"The results were really wonderful.
I The little brain that seemed at times
| unable to do Its work, took on new
life and vigor. Every morning, now,
I before going to school, she eats the
crisp little morsels and is now com
pletely and entirely well, she seems to
have a new lease on life —no more
distress in the stomach, nor head
ache, but sound and well everyway,”

OEOBOIfS W
FOR THE WIE
SERIOUS NEED FOR IMPROVE
MENT ALONG CERTAIN LINES
IS POINTED OUT.
DR. MART’HUR'S STATEMENT
i Should Establish More Modern Laws
in the Determination of Sanity of
Its Mentally Deficient.
—Atlanta.
Georgia’s laws concerning the men
i tally deficient —those tried for crime
! where this plea is entered, those com
mitted to the state asylum for treat
ment, those who seek to intermarry
and so degrade the general standard
of the race—are In serious need of
Improvement, according to Dr. T. J.
McArthur, a former president of the
Medical Association of Georgia.
Doctor McArthur was recently ap
pointed by Governor Brown a dele
gate from Georgia to the convention
of alienists and neurologists meeting
in Chicago June 24-27, and his re
marks were eiecited by questions rel
ative to the purposes of the conven
’ tlon.
i “There are various ways in which
' the laws concerning the insane need
I radical change, and in the matter of
i improvement of these laws Georgia
i has fallen far behind other states,
I said Doctor McArthur.
Especially are more modern laws
: needed in the determination Os the
, sanity of a person on trial for crime,
, notably that, of murder, In which the
plea Os mental derangement is enter
' ed. A change of these laws is greatly
, essential to carrying out the ends of
| justice.
I "Take for Instance the case of Har
’ry Thaw. I am in no position to say
■ whether Thaw Is insane or possessed
of his faculties, but I do know that
I there was no need of the expert testi
i mony in this case being so widely di
-1 vided. Such circumstances as these
■ are a reflection on the medical pro;
j session.
■ “An improvement upon the present
■ plan would be to have a commission
j of reliable physicians who are experts
in mental diseases to decide in crimi
nal cases cf this kind. These could
be appointed by the governor in each (
siate after they have shown them
selves thoroughly capable, say one or
more members of this commission to
be appointed from each congressional
district,
“This commission might also deter
mine the sanity or insanity in eases of
persons proposed to be commlttefl to
the asylum, when there is any doubt
of their mental condition. Had a
commission like this passed upon the
mental condition of George Bell, com
mitted to the state asylum from
Washington county a few years ago.
there would never have been jbo
much doubt In the public mind as to
the justice of this confinement.
"The law of Georgia providing for
the commitment of the. insane to the
asylum needs to be revised or re
placed by a more modern law. Under
the present system the curabies and
incurables are placed together under
the same roof. The raving maniac is
placed in the same institution with
those who ate occasionally in milder
mental condition. The effect is not a
good one for the curabies at least,
ables at least, and it would be better
for the Inmates of our asylum to be
more distinctively classified.
Beautifying Tallulah Falls.
Habersham county citizens in At
lanta this week are setting right a
good deal of misunderstanding which
has prevailed among some people with
regard to the situation at Tallalulah
Falls. They have been closely watch
ing the power company's development
there, and they declare that, contrary
to an erroneous prevailing notion,
there will be no appreciable diminu
j lion of water from the fltlls. The
i dam is above the falls, above the cat
aract When the lake above the dam
is sufficiently filled, the water will
flow from the dam into the old chan
nel. disturbing none of its beauty. The
I power house will be located below the
■ fails and the water for its electric
I use will be conveyed from the lake
* above the dam by means of a tunnel
I cut beneath the stream. This tunnel
iis hidden from view. There has been
‘ nothing to attract the visitor to Tai-
I lulah but the falls and the adjacent
! scenery and the big chasm. These will
। remain intact. But the other attrac
tions will be the huge lake, not so
wide, but long. The Georgia Railway
* Power company proposes to make
the lake of clear water a thing of
beauty. It will be supplied with
pleasure boats; the lake will be stock
ed with all kinds of game fish that
live in harmony, for fishing parties. A
beautiful boulevard will encircle the
lake —following the contour of the
hanks of the lake.
Little Items From Georgia Cities.
Newton County Georgia, is destined
to become the haven for school teach
ers, especially women teachers, all or
which is caused by a recent order of
the board of education of that county
issuing an order that all pupils who
persist in smoking at school, or going
thereto or from, must be expelled;
also they give the teacher privilege of
expelling any unruly child who is dis
posed not to obey the school rules.
The order was passed at the l^st
board meeting and lias already had
marked effect, it was advocated by
the superintendent of schools, J. O.
Martin, who stated that the cigarette
smoker was a nuisance that should be
dispensed with instanter, anil that in
many of the schools young women
were employed as teachers and that
the "big boy” or the “bully” was al
ways to be contended with. It is a
well known fact that in rural com
munities a favorite past time with the
large boys of the school is to try
ihe teacher and to discuss among
themselves what, they would do if the
teacher should attempt to whip them.
This, however, will not. go in the
schools of Newton any more.
New Freak in State Museum.
The attention of the officials in
charge of Georgia's museum at the
state capitol has been called to a won
derful curiosity in the form of a soft
fchell egg, which was laid by a hen on
Miss Fanny Heard's farm in Wilkes ,
county, and which is uniike any hens ■
egg ever before seen. The diameter !
of the egg is about the usual size, but i
the egg is prolonged to a little over !
six inches in length. One end of the .
freak is a striking resemblance to the
outstretched bead of a turtle, while
the other end is smaller and dwindles
Uki- tlie tail of a mouse. The shell is
white and smooth like that of an or
dinary egg, but is soft like the back
of a soft shell crab.
Senator Harris Honored.
Georgia Democrats of both factions,]
are united in their rejoicing over at
least one important appointment that
has been made by the Wilson adminis
tration. The recommending of Sen
ator W. J. Harris of Cedartown, for
the appointment as director of the
census, is a compliment to Georgia,
which has pleased all Georgia poli
ticians. As chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee. Sen
ator Harris achieved distinction of b»
ing one of the few men who ever dis
charged the duties of that office to
the entire satisfaction of both Demo
cratlc camps. The position of direc
tor of the census is one that stands
'next in importance to the -cabinet
portfoio. Its duties will not neces
sarily cause Senator Harris to resign
from the state Democratic chairman
ship.
Senator Smith on Big Committee.
The chief activities of Senator
Hoke Smith this spring, as one of the
wheel horses of the Democratic ad
ministration. will be in connection
with his membership on the senate fi
nance committee, which will handle
the tariff bill. There was an errone
ous idea that Senator Smith wanted
the chairmanship of the new banking
and currency committee, but the Sen
ator did not want that position. He
felt that, the work immediately ahead
of congress was the revision of the
tariff. Banking and currency is not to
be taken up until after the tariff bill
is disposed of, and it may not figure
in the extra session at all. For that
reason. Senator Smith reels that he
can be of the most use on the finance
committee.
Nash Preparing for Memorial Day.
Georgia's Adjutant General Jos.
Van Holt Nash is superintending
elaborate preparations for the cele
bration in Atlanta on April 26 of
Confederate memorial day. General
Nash has been selected as marshal
of the day. and is preparing to make
it one of the most interesting and
memorable in the history of the ladies
memorial association. Gen Nash has
already received acceptances from
Brig. General Robt. K. Evans of the
department of the Gulf; from the
17th U. S. infantry at Fort McPher
son; from Covernor Brown and staff;
from the sth Georgia militia, the boy
scouts. Mayor Woodward, and all lo
cal confederate veteran camps.
Atlanta's Mayor Aiding Cupid.
Atlanta’s mayor is in distress. His
distress has got nothing to do with
the political storms of which he is
the center. It is due to the fact that
he has suddenly acquired an unex
pected and unsolicited reputation as
a matrimonial matchmaker as a first
aid to Cupid; as a philonthropic and
sentimental gentleman whose princi
pal object in being mayor of Atlanta is
to furnish loving wives for men who
haven’t got gumption enough to get
them for themselves. It possibly all
comes from the fact that the city hail
reporters on a day when news was
scarce, published an amusing story of
a man from Texas, who had written
.Mayor Woodward, asking him to help
find a “Georgia peach” for a wife.
S nce that publication the mayor has
been deluged with letters sent -by
lonely bachelors from all comers of
the country.
LITTLE ITEMS FROM GEORGIA CITItS
Columbus.—The body of Clifford E
Clegg, who was drowned while trying
to cross a swollen stream near Mom
gomery, was brought'to Columbus and
the funeral held. The body was re
covered through the use of dynamite
after divers failed in efforts to locate
It.
Bremen.—lnformation continues to
come in of the damage wrought by
the cyclone. Near Draketown a num
ber of residences and outbuildings
were wrecked. In the forests, where
the heaviest wind touched, great oak
and pine trees were wrung off as if
straws.
Calhoun.—Rev. George Hamilton,
the Methodist pastor of the Fairmount
circle, has hit upon a novel scheme
for raising the benevolent collections
in his charge. The charge consists of
four country churches, and Mr. Ham
ilton has obtained a pledge from all
the farmers’ wives in his parish that
they will turn over to him all the eggs
their hens lay on Sundays.
Buchanan. —The farmers of Haral
son are much depressed over the
prospects for an average crop of cot
ton and corn this year. Well-posted
planters believe that prospects at this
time are about the same as they were
this time last year, but say if the
rains, which have been so prevalent
for the past several weeks, should
stop even rg>w, it would be some time
before they could go into the fields
and properly prepare the ground for
a crop.
Macon.—Easter Sunday was a day
of tragedies and near tragedies in Ma
con. One man was fatally injured
in a collision between a motorcycle
and a milk wagon, a child was knock
ed down and badly hurt by a negro
on a bicycle and a negro was shot
in the leg when caught in the act of
■ stealing chickens. Policeman Gatliff
: had a pistol battle with an unknown
] man in the Tybee district, but neither
was injured.
Columbus—The work of rebuilding
Willacoochee. —At a meeting to be
। held in the near future plans will be
perfected for an aggressive campaign
to secure the formation of a new
county created from parts of Coffee,
Clinch and Berrien counties. It is
proposed to take about 100 square
miles of territory from the northern
part of Clinch, 100 square miles from
the northeastern part of Berrien and
j about 200 square miles from Coffee.
: south of the Satilla river, making a
] county of- 450 square miles in area,
' with about 10,000 population, and $2,-
j 000,000 of taxable property. The citi
zens in the proposed territory live on
an average of 20 miles from their re
spective county seat, requiring from
one to two days to get to and from
the same, and on account of this and
other hardships almost the entire cit
izenry of the proposed new county are
in favor of it.
and repairing the damage from the
| recent storm is proceeding steadily.
] Every contractor in the city is very
busy, for most of them were at work
i before the tornado came, and since
then their services have been very
much in demand. The wrecked por
tion of No. S mill of th Eagle and
Phenix plant is being rebuilt and re
pairs are being made at the plant of
the Swift Manufacturing company.
Numbers of buildings in the business
section that were either unroofed or
wrecked have not yet been repaired,
but have to await their turn. An un
fortunate feature of the storm dam
age, and one which cannot be reme
died, is the destruction of a good
many beautiful shade trees.
Atlanta. —The Association of South
ern Fire Insurance companies held an
important executive committee meet
ing in Atlanta to discuss questions
of interest in the fire insurance field,
i and also the general business outlook
‘ of the entire south tor the spring and
i summer. A subject given particular
attention was the “Keep money at
home” movement, in which the as
: sociation was a pioneer and which, in
’ recent years, has resulted In Increased
: prosperity for practically all respon
] sible southern institutions and big
! business organizations. They have
! preached home patronage both in
i season and out of season, not only
| for fire insurance companies, but for
, all southern business. Annual reports
; which were made under the Georgia
i law to the state insurance commis
i stoner on the first of this month show
] big gains among the home fire insur
, ance companies. Some companies,
not properly organized under the laws
j were compelled to quit business, such
I laws having been urged and placed
I on the statute books at the instance
of the strong southern companies.
The officers of the Southern Associa
