WANTS MILITARY FEATURE.
Col. MeIdrim Thinks the State Fair
Should Aave One.

Should taave One.
Col. P. W. Meldrim, commanding the
First Cavalry, Georgia State Troops, be-
nection with the State Fair to be held
IT. Savannah next fall would contribute
greatly to its success. He talked along
this line yesterday, saying:
IF prizes of sufficient amount to at
tract the troops and serve, If won, to help
to a considerable degree in meeting the
expenses of the trip, were offered by the
Savannah Fair Association there would
be a large attendance from among the
cavalry. The ten troops in the state,
would, l am sure, be well represented,
and very attractive programme could be
arranged.
Fitting is a sport that Is enjoyed by
those participating and by the specta-
tors. There is an exhiliration about it
that catches a crowd and it could be
made one of the features of the fair, if
proper steps in preparing for 1t were ta-
ken. In the First Cavalry are some of
the finest filters in the world, and if the
Fair Association cares to take the mat
ter up and push it as it should be pushed,
l can promise that the finest tilt that
be witnesses by those who visit the fair.
Arrangements for the transporta ton
of men and horses could be so arranged
as to make the expense compare lively
slight. The location of the troops is such
as to tend toward this and the entire
regiment could be gathered without great
cost"
Col Meldrim's views upon making the
military an attraction for the visitors to
the fair are participated in by other Off
GERS. A prize, Col. Me,drim thinks,
turns out, and the same, infantry officers
think, should be offered for companies OF
that branch of the service.
1t is recognized that a military fea-
ture would contribute considerably to the
attendance upon the fair, as not only the
soldiers, but a number of others would
visit Savannah because of their presence.
Col. Meldrim believes that the attendance
of each soldier would mean, on an aver
age, an attendance of five other persons
all interested in his appear
ance In line or his record In
fitting or other contests. The fair direc-
tors will soon take up the matter of at
fractions, and 1t is safe to say that mill
rary will be included. Members of the
local organizations would like to see such
action taken.
The subscribers to the fund for the fair
will find notice from the treasurer of
the Savannah Fair Association in another
column. The first installment, 10 per cent.
has been called for, and it is desirable
that II be collected without delay so that
it will not be in the way of the second
installment. which, under the terms Of
subscription, is payable in April. Quite
a number of subscribers have already re-
sponded to the call, but the majority has
not needed the first notice of the treas
urer All interested in the matter should
send their checks in promptly to Mr.. NJ.

carefully nursed his horse while the lead

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub
ject.


We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vegeta-
rlanism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the large
cities where no meat, pastry or coffee is
served and the food crank is in his
glory and arguments and theories ga
lore advanced to prove that meat was
never intended for human stomachs, and
almost make us believe that our sturdy
ancestors who lived four score years III
robust health on roast beef, pork and
mutton must have been grossly ignorant
of the laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food
they ate. A warm welcome was extended
to any kind from bacon 20 acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides 10 follow in mat
tiers Of diet, and mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in highly concentrated form and Is
digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
DR.. julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is
600 feeble at first Il may be easily cor
rected by the regular use Of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
of these excellent tablets taken after
dinner will digest several thousand grains
Of meat eggs or other animal food In
three hours. and no matter how weak
the stomach may be, no trouble will be
experienced If a regular practice is made
Of using 5tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets be-
cause they supply the pepsin and dlastase
necessary to perfect digestion, and every
form Of indigestion viii be overcome by
their use.
That large class Of people who come un.
der the head Of nervous dyspeptics should
eat plenty Of meat and insure its proper
digestion by the daily use OF a safe,
harmless digestive medicine like Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets composed Of the ma
tural digestive principles pepsin, dias-
tase, fruit acids, and salts, which act
ualIy perform the work o. digestion. Cheap
cathartie medicines. Incorporating under

GROCERY CO. EMBARRASSED.
Creditors Filed Petition Against
John T. Evans & Co.

Creditors Filed Petition Against
John t. Evans & Co.
A petition in bankruptcy has been filed
in the office of the clerk of the United
States District Court against John T.
Evans & Co., engaged in the grocery
business, at Barnard and Congress
streets. An application has been made
to Judge speer for the appointment of a
receiver for the business.
The petitioning creditors and the
amounts due them by John T. Evans &
Co. are as follows: Atlanta Paper Com
pany, $l00.5S; Bluthenthal & Bickert,
S23O.6S; Charles G. Krel, $2795; Edwin j.
Gillies & Co., $2lS; Austin Nichols & Co.,
$3.50; New Orleans Coffee Company,
$2225; Godnlot & Co., $51.43.
The petitioners represent to the court
that the company they seek to have de-
clared bankrupt is in an insolvent condi-
ton and that while In this condition it
has committed several acts of bankrupt
cy. Among these alleged acts of bank
ruptcy are enumerated payments made
to certain of it's creditors, which were
made, it is declared, with intent to pre-
fer these cred. tors over others, and the
admission of the company that 1t was
bankrupt.
This admission was made by the COM
pany in a letter from it to Messrs
OConnor, O'Byrne G. Hartridge, the az.
torneys for the petitioning creditors. Ii
recites that at a meeting of the stock
holders it was determined that the ex-
istenee of a state of insolvency be ad-
nitted and the willingness to have the
assets and liabilities of the company ad-
ministered in a court of bankruptcy ex-
pressed. The letter Is signed by the pres
ident and secretary of the company
Mr.. John T. Evans, the president Of the
company, stated to a Morning News re
porter, that he believed the trouble would
be but temporary. and that the company
would be enabled to pull through in goou
shape. The inability to meet the pres
ent demands of those creditors who have
instituted the proceeding accounts for the
action they have taken.
