SOLVING THE MEAT PROBLEM.

Now that the pressure of high
prices has forced many housekeeD-
ers to cut down the daily allowance
of meat from three to two meals, or
perhaps even to one, it is a satisfac-
ton to know that their course is fully
approved by the leading scientists of
the nation and that excellent health
results are predicted as a result OF
the change in diet. From all sides
arises a chorus of commentator and
an urgent appeal to continue to eat in
a more rational way than we have
been doing by eliminating considera-
bic Of the meat and introducing
fruits, vegetables and other standard
and palatable articles in its stead If
meat prices remain high it is not UNI
likely that this course will be resort
ed to, especially if the prices of the
other articles to be substituted do
not follow meat into the skies and
get almost beyond the reach of the av-
erage income.
Several scientists at Harvard Col
Iege were asked if abstinence from
meat is harmful Said Otto Follin,
professor of biological chemistry at
the Harvard Medical School
Present day science furnishes no
evidence proving or tending to prove
that man stands in specific need Of

OPPOSITION TO GOVERNOR
BROWN?
Announcements

Announcements for gover&or
of Georgia are looked for at h D.
most any moment There will b v
something doing politically in =
this state very sOOn.-COlumbus
Enquirer-Sun.
Avoiding asperities, that are out Of
season when no campaign is on, or in
immediate prospect, one cannot fail
to perceive, in glancing over the po-
litical situation as it appears to ex-
list, that the intense yearning that the
Smith organs and shouters had for
the former Governor to make the race
again appears to have tremendously
subsidized in the past few months. We
are prone to attribute this to the ex-
cellent record, and constantly in
creasing strength of Gov Brown,
rather than to any diminished desire
for revenge on the part of the ex-
governor and his followers, or to
any lack of pardonable ambition on
his part to again fill the Office of the
states chief executive.
The truth of the matter seems 10
be, Georgia is displaying no violent
and irrepressibIe desire in any corner
or section of it to succeed the pres
ent admirable governor by a second
term of his predecessor. 1t seems
quite well satisfied, from one end of
it to the other, with the policies of
Gov Brown, with the quiet, gentle
manly, conservative manner in which
he does business in a business like
way The opposition to him
has undoubtedly shrunk in pro-
portions very perceptibly since
he assumed the office, and at the rate
his popularity and the confidence of
the people in him are growing the
antagonism will be limited to a few
sore heads out of jobs and out of
power when next summer and the
primary rolls around.
Announcements for governor next
summer are really just as likely to
be confined to one candidate, the pres
ent governor, as not. OF course the
Smith faction despite it's diminutiye
proportions, will seek to introduce a
candidate into the arena, but Geor-
gia politicians of any note have a
rather well developed tendency to
shrink from an assured defeat. 1t
will be difficult to bring any one Of
them into the fight as conditions now
are. The campaign promises to be
quite one sided and lacking in the
spectacular features that marked the
last two. 1t is just as we'll for Geor-
gia that it is so, and it certainly
speaks volumes of commentator for
Governor Brown that he has proved
SO sagacious an administrator as to
produce conditions like these

meat in any form or any quantity.
AS an experiment the present boy
colt Of meat is perfectly safe, indeed
It is not an experiment. I do not in
clude the sick or conyalescent. They
need special diet and the mildly slim
ultative action of certain meat prod
ucts makes these more or less useful
in such cases.
What substitute would / suggest
for meat? None There is no need
Of substitutes. Meat contains 10 to
20 per cent of protein, hour contains
II to Il per cent. So a pound and a
half of -four contains fully as much
muscle building material as pound
Of steak, and so far as the total food
value is concerned a pound of -four
offers twice the value that a pound Of
ordinary beef does. Cornmeal pre-
sents a still greater value as a food
capable of being converted into mus
cular work.
The meat problem can solve itself
if the healthy, normal working people
who live active lives, free from jaded
appetites and capricious digestions,
come to realize the relative value Of
meats and eggs on the one hand and
-four and cereals on the other.
1T requires more skill to cook good
bread and palatable cereals and vege-
table dishes than to cook meat. The
workman whose wife is well and
knows the art of real cooking can
easily take the abstinence pledge and
wait lower prices at his pleasure.
When the day of abstinence is over
many will be surprised to find their
appetites for meat diminished and per-
haps gone In fact the odor of meat
will prove distasteful in many cases.
while meat is not demOnstrablN
needed for food concluded Prof. Fol-
lin, II do not recommend that people
become strict vegetarians. Small
amounts of meats used chiefly for fla
v0ring purposes add greatly to the
possibilities of cooking. I know of no
reason why people should cut out
soups, pork and beans or New Eng
land boiled dinner"

WHEN THE ANGELS CAME

People tell the story yet
With the pathOs of regret,
How along the streets one day,
Unawares from far away,
Angels passed with gifts for need
And no mortal gave them heed.
They had cheer for those who weep,
They had light for shadows deep,
Balm for broken hearts they bore,
Rest, deep rest, a boundless store;
But the people, so they say,
Went the old blind, human way
Fed the quack and hailed the clown
When the angels came to town.
It has been and will be so;
Angels come and angels go,
Opportunity and light,
TWiX the morning and the night,
With their message divine
To your little world and mine,
And we wonder why we heard
Not a whisper of their word,
Caught no glimpse Of finer grace
In the passing form and face;
That our ears we're dull as stones
To the thrill of spirit tones,
And we looked not up, but down
When the angels came to town.

THE ONE DANGER OF PROSPERITY

The Manufacturers Record quotes
a Georgia business man of promi-
nence as expressing a fear that the
wave Of prosperity that has struck
large sections of the South might
cause a reckless spirit to abound and
lead to the people undertaking more
than they can safely manage. The
point is impressed by him that there
is no guarantee of exceptional prices
for cotton hereafter and a failure to
realize this and act accordingly may
be the means Of making the future
condition of the farmers, and the
classes dependent upon them for bus
mess, worse than it was before the
era of highly profitable values for
their crops. He continues:
IF the farmers of Georgia and the
South will only keep their heads and
be conservative in these prosperous
times, not buying too much land or
planting too much cotton; and if the
merchants will not undertake to sell
too many goods on credit and buy too
much on time, 1 see nothing in the
way of our having the best times in
Georgia and the South that we have
had in ten years.
Taking this and similar communi-
cations from other states the Record
provides comprehensive survey Of
conditions in the South. It is a survey
of progress. In close touch with agri-
cultural communities and vitality inter-
ested in all that concerns their well
fare, the bankers are in an excellent
position to measure things as they
are. A sure index is the amount Of
deposits belonging to the farmers in
the banks. Throughout the South gen
orally there has been marked in
crease of money to the credit of farm
ers in the banks during the last few
years.
At some points the increased cost of
living and a part failure fthe feed
crops have checked the tendency to
an increase in deposits, but at other
points the very fact of higher prices
has more than compensated the farm
ers for the shortage due to drought or
other causes.
The prosperity of Southern farmers
is shown, however, in other ways,
promising even greater things for the
future. Old debts have been paid off.
mortgages have been lifted, and for
mer debtors are now creditors. Some

chants insisting upon a cash basis.

Burns ana Their Remedies

DR.. Charles 3. Moody, writing in the
May. Outing on "Backwoods Surgery
and Medicine says In regard to burns
Burns are classified according to de-
gree of injury Those of the first de-
gree are where the skin is Redeemed, but
no blister formed. The second degree
includes those where there has been de-
cided blistering, and the third. where the
flesh has been charred. Those of the
first and second degrees are the most
common in about the proportion OF 80
to I.
"A burn of the first degree can be best
relieved by the application of cold water.
This Is contrary to the teachings Of a
few years ago. but Is in full accord with
that Of today. The water should be
changed as fast as It becomes warm.
Burns of the second degree require
more care. In the first place, do not
object in treating burns Is to exclude
air. and the skin remaining intact will
do this much better than any artificial
means.
1.-THE Indians of the northwest prepare
a dressing for burns by cooking deer
suet with balm of Gilead buds. This Is
the most effective application for severe
burns I have ever seen. II deer suet Is
not available, any fresh tallow that has
been cooked will serve as we'll. Throw q
handful of the buds into a vessel and
cover them with the suet. boil for thirty
minutes, and strain. When nearly cold
apply to the burn and cover with a soft
cieth. The pain ceases almost immedia-
tely."

LITTLE CHANGE
: IN N COTTON COTTON MARKET
Control of New York Stock
Goes Into Hands of Bulls
FOREIGN STOCKS LOW
There Is Talk of New Corner But
Leading Bulls Believe July and

BY EDWARD LOwBARNLETT

New York, April 30.-tSpecial. THE cot
toa market today differed little in tone or
price movement from that of Friday.
Control of the local stocks has passed
into the hands of operators whose in
terests demand that it shall be promptly
disposed of to spnners. They expect
their holdings to be increased by at least
100000 bales more before the close of the
month of May. They do not expect to
hold this cotton at prices which will
prohibit its going into immediate con-
sumption American spinners will be sup
piled at prices which will give the local
market the preference for a while.
Foreign stocks are so small that ship
ments from New York to Liverpool are
not only logical, but will finally prove
commercial necessity. There is no talk
tracts, though 1t is entirely possible that
the natural outcome of their control of
the local market will result in an adj
vance in the July and August option to
much closer parity with the prices
ruling for May.
Sales of spot cotton in Liverpool were
small. 1000 bales being reported at one
point advance to 7.95d for middling. Flu
lures closed there at decline of from
to points.
In the cotton goods division of the
dry goods trade there is somewhat bet
ter feeling in the primary markets. one
hundred and forty thousand pieces of
print cloth were sold in Fall River last
week. The feeling is general in cotton
goods circles that goods will move more
freely at present prices in view Of the
small supplies of raw material.

Cotton futures opened steady for the

ket was that Liverpool had been bearish-

view, in which he expressed doubt that
the recent cold snap had greatly dam
aged cotton. The local market was not
inclined to follow any fall In prices after

Washington first took command of the

iron picket fence enclosure perhaps a
couple rods across. One night man who
had imbibed too freely, stumbled against
this circular fence. Grasping one picket
after another. he CROPPED his way painful
~ round and round the outside OF the
enclosure about a dozen times. Finally
he sank down in utter despair: "Oh. amt
it awful. Fenced in and no gate to get
out of it,'' said he, as a party Of stu
