A difference of opinion has devel

man say#; ‘'Sunday, throughout a

vance. Whatever may the t expltn
allot, Sunday la„prftCTb ly\ worse
kept here than In any other city ot
the cast.” The newspaper says:
“There Is no other city In the United
State# of even half the population of
Washington in which Sunday is char
acterized by such delightful, restful
quietude as prevails here. It Is more
like the old-faahioned New England
village than the typical American
city.”

“Don't chew your meat, bolt it,” Is

This statement was amplified by
the following explanation:
"Flesh eatlpg animals never chew
their food. They bolt it Man by
chewing hi# meat makes It indigesti
ble. The saliva mixed with the moat
forms an alkaline. Before the meat
can be digested that alkaline must be
neutralized. Chewing mechanically
la a good thing, for It breaks up the
meat, but practically It i# a bad
thing, for It make# it hard to dlgost.
Of course, chewing is beneficial when
eating starchy substances."
Dr. Wiley, laying down a formula
for a century of life, said:
“Eat plenty of good wholesome
food. Sleep the sleep of innocence,
that is eight hours of peaceful, rest
ful sleep In every twenty-four hours.
“Take plenty of exercise. Do not

DRY TIMES FOR GEORGIA
s
House Passes Senate Prohibition Bill
By Majority of One Hundred Votes.
Effective January 1, 1908.
The Georgia house of representa
tives, Tuesday night, passed the Hard
man-Covington-Neel state prohibition
bill by a majority of an even one hun
dred votes—the final count being 139
ayes to 39 nays. The bill Was paused
with the amendments of the, temper
ance committee of the house and two
minor amendments Introduced by Mr.
Wright of Floyd and Mr. Wise of Fay
ette, at 7: S3 o'clock, after a day which
had been spent In consideration of
the measure and the flood of am nd
ments and substitutes which had been
introduced.
The action of the house means the
wiping out of the legalized liquor traf
fic in a state which has never been
free from It since Georgia was a state;
a fight which came as an overwhelm
ing surprise to the whiskey element
and the antt-prohibltlon forces of the
state, and was pushed forward with
an amazing force and determination.
Weeks ago the anti-prohibitlo lists of
Georgia gave up the conflict m too un
equal. They realized they were con
tending against Insuperably odds; that
the sentiment of the state was over
whelmingly in favor of prohibition, and
the best they could hope for was an
extension of time in which the bill
should go into effect or a modification
of some of its more stringent provis
ions.
The prohibitionists, confident of their
strength, conced'd nothing — would
not admit that a concession of s* ins
kind devolved upon them—and made
tho victory the most swieping anti
complete of any state in the United
States voting on a similar measure.
On January 1st, 1908, there will not
be a state in the United States with
a prohibition measure, so complete as
Georgia's will be. The hill leaves
no loopholes for selling whiskey in
Georgia. If its provisions are com
plied with, whiskey will be eliminated
as a factor in the life of the state.
It was 4:3s o'clock Wednesday af
ternoon that debate on the bill ceased
and voting on the amendments and
substitutes began.
