What tastes better than Hot Biscuits and Honey, whether It be morning, noon
or night? These appetizing-looking biscuits were “made In a Jiffy" with

HOT BISCUITS AND HONEY
"Eat natural sweets" say the doc
ters and dieticians. They are more
healthful and less Injurious to the
teeth and digestion than rich, heavy
sweets, and by natural ^weets we
mean dates, figs, raisins and honey
nature’s own preserves.
And with honey, of course, the nat
ural complement is hot biscuits 1 Pip
ing hot biscuits, plenty of sweet but
ter and pure, unadulterated honey—
what could be a more perfect com
bination for that Ugh Sunday evening
supper or to serve at an Informal
gathering?
The biscuits need not cause you
any anxiety if you are not a thorough
ly experienced housewife. A great
deal of the uncertainty can be re
moved from biscuit making by the use
of self-rising flour; that U, soft wheat

Number 42
AUDIT WOULD CUT
DEPARTMENT HEADS
. Positions of veteran statehouse
officers, many of whome have
served 20 years or more, will be
abolished if the plan for reorgan
ization of the state government
as recommended in the report of
Searles, Miller aud Company is
authorized by the Legislature.
The plan involves creation of 17
departments for administration
of the state’s affairs, consolida
ting or eliminating scores of ex
isting posts, including some of
the most familiar to Georgians.
Jobs In Danger
Among state officials who may
lose their jobs in the consolida
tions are: J. W. Barnett, John R.
Phillips and W. C. Vereen, com
posing the Highway Board; E.L.
Rainy, G. A. Johns and V. L.
Stanley, of the prison Commis
sion W. B. Harrison,Comptroller
General; B. m. Lufburrow, State
Forester; S. W. McDallie, Geolo
gist; Manning Yeomans, Ento
mologiot; Peter S. Twitty, Co
mmissioner of Game and Fish;
Hal M. Stanley, T. E. Whitaker
and Wax E. Land, of the Indust
rial; Matt C. Bennett, of the
Securities Commission; R. E.Ma
theson Commissioner of Revenue
R. C. Norman, Tax Commission
er ; Josephus Camp, Printing
Commissioner; R. de T. Lawren
ce, Pension Commissioner,C. B.
Jones, the Bureau of Market J. A
King Chemist,and A.B.Mobley
Superintendet of Banks.
Department Merger
The report recommended that
all of these departments be con
solidated under 10 heads to be
appointed by and responsible to
the Governor. Inasmuch as all of
the elective officers were re
elected last November for a term
of two years and that the ap
pointive officers have been re
cently reappointed for specific
terms, it was thought hardly
likely that any legislative act
would be adopted removing them
from office before the expiration
of their terms. This would leave
the 10 appointive officers to be
filled by Governor-elect Russell
instead of Governor Hardman if
the suggested reforms were ad
opted either at a regular or spe
cial session, it was pointed out.
