PLENTY OF ILLEGAL
WHISKY IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA. Sept. 21.-Forty war
rants for the Illicit distilling of whis-
ky have been sworn out within the
last five days in the United States Dis
trict Attorneys Office in Atlanta. This
amazing record is typical of the entire
year. and bears out the statement of
internal revenue officials that there has
been more moonshining in Georgia in
the last II months than in years.
since prohibition went into effect"
said a revenue officer. "moonshine stills
have sprung up in nearly every county
in Georgia"
The moonshine liquor is lower in
quality and higher in price than ever
before. Corn whisky that sold for 81 a
gallon three years ago is now 81 a
quart.

Christmas Chimes In Many Chimes.

Christmas is always a season of
good wishes and loving kindness.
In America almost all little children
hang up their stockings on Christmas
eve. to be filed by kind old Santa
Claus. In Germany they make more
of Christmas than we do In America.
Everywhere the Christmas tree is
used.
If a family is too poor to have a
whole tree. single branch only will
stand in conspicuous place. hung
with the few simple gifts.
A week before Christmas st. Nicho-
las visits the children to find out who
have been good enough to receive the
gifts the Christ Child will bring them
on Christmas eve.
1t is very usual thing to see on Il
German Christmas tree. way up in the
very topmost branch, an image or doll
representing the Christ Child, while
below are sometimes placed other
images representing angels with out
spread wings.
After the tree is lighted the family
gather round 1t and sing Christmas
hymn.
In England almost every one who
can do so has family party on
Christmas eve. Young and old join In
the games. many Of which belong
especially to Christmas time.
From the ceiling Of one Of the rooms
large bunch Of mistletoe is hung. If
any little, maid is caught standing
under 1t, the one who catches her has
right to take kiss from her rosy
lips.
In Holland the little Dutch girl puts
her wooden shoe in the chimney place
ready for gifts. just as the little Amer.
lean girl hangs up her stocking.
And SO III some way all over the
Christian world on the. eve of til,
twenty-ffth day Of December The
birth Of cur Lord Jesus Christ is cele-
hrated. Everywhere the Christmas
chimes are ringing out the message
the angels brought to Bethlehem
Peace on earth. good will to men,

May Paste Million Posters.

Artists, billposters, printers, paper manufacturers and tuberculosis fight CTS are all united in a gigantic crusade against tuberculosis which is about to be started under the direction of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In addition to the gifts of free space on billboards and free printing of posters made by the Associated Billposters and Distributors of America and the Poster Printers Association, several hundred paper manufacturers have given paper for the posters to the value of several thousand dollars, and artists from all over the United States are contributing sketches for posters, free of charge. The local, state and national anti-tuberculosis associations will see that the posters are placed in cities and towns where they are most needed.
 The posters are nine feet long and seven feet wide and will be printed in several colors. If sufficient paper is procured million will be pasted up. The value of these various contribu- tions would reach fully S2,000000 if paid for at commercial rates.
