SOLD WHISKY IN ALABAMA.
But Was Fined in Georgia. Unique
Feature of a Case at Columbus.

A. H. Cogbill, former saloon
keeper of Girard, Ala, has been con-
victed in Muscogee superior court of
selling whisky without license and
selling it on election day was fined
$50 in each case.
The Unique feature of the case is
that he was on Alabama soil at the
time he violated the Georgia law.
On city election day in Columbus,
in December, Cogbill, while in his
saloon in Alabama, received a tele-
phone order for whisky from a man
in Columbus. He filled the order,
sending the liquor to the Georgia
side by a negro, who was promptly
arrested by the police when they saw
him deliver the whisky. Mr.. Cog
bill remained in Alabama until in
formed that the Muscogee county
grand jury had indicted him, when
he came to Georgia mad gave bond.
The negro who delivered the whisky
was discharged.

S26,OOOOOO FOR PAPER WOOD
ENORMOUS IS THE CONSUME
TION BY THE PULP MILLS.
The Greatly Increased Cost of Print
ing Paper. Thousands of Cords
of Wood Are Imported.

OF w OOu are IupOFttu.
A circular of the Forest Service
says, speaking of the general COM
plant among publishers that print
ing paper is constantly growing
dearer:
In the face of threatened short
age of timber the amount of wood
consumed each year for pulp has in
creased since 1899 from 100000 to
100000 cords. The year 1906
marked an increase of $4,000 cords
in the imports of pulp wood, the
highest average value per cord for
all kinds, and a consumption greater
by 469,053 cords than that of any
previous year. Spruce, the wood
from which in 1899 three-fourths of
the pulp was manufactured, is still
the leading wood, but it now pro-
duces a little more than 70 per cent
of the total. Since 1899 poplar,
which for years was used in cOnnec-
ton with spruce to the exclusion of
all other paper woods, has increased
in total quantity less than 100000
cords, and is one Outranked by hem
lock. Pine, balsam and cottonwood
are used in much smaller amounts.
New York alone consumes each
year over a million and a quarter
cords of wood in the manufacture
of pulp, or more than twice as much
as Maine, which ranks next. Wis
consin, New Hampshire, PennsylVa-
MIA and Michigan follow in the or
der given. Sixty per cent. OF the
wood used in New York was import
ed from elsewhere, and even so the
supply appears to be waning, since
the total consumption for the state
shows a small decrease since 1905,
whereas the other states named
have all increased their consumption.
Other states important in the produc-
ton of pulp are: Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont
and West Virginia.
The average cost of pulp deliv-
cred at the mill was 1921. The to-
tai value of the wood consumed in
1906 was $26,4OO,OOO. The chief
item determining the price of paper
is the cost of pulp. An example of
the increased price of paper is found
in the case of a publisher of a daily
in the middle west, who recently
paid $1,000 for a carload of paper.
The same quantity and grade of pa
per cost a year ago but $500.
All impOrtatiOns of wood for pulp
are from Canada, and comprised, in
1905. 10000 cords, nearly all of
which was spruce. -Four and half
million dollars worth of pulp was
imported in 1906, a slight falling off
from 1905.

GRIPPE AND PNEUMONIA.
THESE DISEASES ARE RAVAGING
ALL SECTIONS OF COUNTRY.
New York Health Official Gives Rules
to Observe in Order to Es-
cape the Maladies.

cape the MaladieS.
Influenza and pneumonia are now
extremely prevalent throughout the
land. 1t is estimated there are over
10000 cases in New York at pres
ent, and the death rate is correspond
ingly large.
The recent report of the health
board of that city shows that during
the last month there were 1902
deaths from pneumonia many of
them beginning with an influenza,
In addition to this there have been
1875 deaths from influenza without
pneumonia.
1t seems a fitting time to say a
word about the preventive treatment
of these fatal diseases. Here are
four suggestive rules:
four suggestive rules given by the
physician at the head of the New
York health department:
1. Keep mouth, teeth, tonsils and
nose clean.
2. Keep vital resistance of the
body up to the standard.
8. Breathe plenty of fresh air,
both in the house and out of it, but
protect the body from cold and
drafts by proper clothing.
4. Keep the feet dry and warm.
1t is necessary to keep the mouth,
nose, tonsils, etc, clean because the
mucous membrane of these parts, es
pecially the tonsils, is not infrequent-
ly the port of entry of the germs of
several infectious diseases, as influ-
enza, pneumonia and acute rheuma-
tism. The little depressions in the
tonsils are a favorite place for these
germs to lodge; when the tonsils are
inflamed and the vital resistance of
the body lowered from any cause
these germs are taken into the sys-
tenn, circulated in the blood and null
tiply with great rapidity. To pre-
vent their development it is neces-
sary to antiseptically cleanse their
breeding places and keep them clean,
especially if one spends a considera-
BILE time in the rooms of those who
have influenza or pneumonia. AS
cleanser | would recommend Sim
pie antiseptic alkalien wash. The
following formula can be made at
home or at the druggists:
Powdered boracic acid, is grains;
thymol, l grain; alcohol, | ounce;
table salt, 20 grains; baking soda,
80 grains; essence wintergreen, 2
teaspoonfuls; glycerine, 1 table
spoonful; distilled water, ounces.
Use this solution plain as mouth
wash or gargle, and diluted one half
with water it can be used as an an
tiseptic spray for the nose.
In regard to rule 2 | would say
that the vital resistance of the body
may be kept nearer a normal stand
ard by avoiding excuses, especially
overeating and overdrinking. Keep
all the functions of the body regu-
lar and up to their normal activity.
Breathe fresh air, especially while
asleep, but have the body properly
protected from cold and draft. Old
people whose circulation is impaired
require more clothing than the
young.

SENATOR BACON MAKES KICK.
Wants Executive to attend to Duties
Instead of Politics.

Instead of Politics.
Thursday during the consideration
of the bill to revise the criminal code
Senator Bacon of Georgia declared
that there should be legislative re-
strictions against an officer of the
executive branch Of government de-
voting any of his time to advancing
the political interests of any candi-
date for office or of any party.
Il would be very glad to see a
change in the law" said Mr.. Bacon,
which would put a man on notice
that when he accepts Office in any eX-
ecutive department he is expected to
attend to his business and nothing
else. and If he is to contribute any
thing to a campaign he must lay
down his office High officers and
officers not so high have abandoned
their posts and a proper discharge Of
their duties and become politi-
cal partisans seeking to promote a
particular candidacy
