Food waste.


The food consumed by New YORK
City costs. at the railroad and
steamer terminals, $50 millions OF
doaars a year; but when it gets TO
tie consumers kitchens, it costs
500 millions year, says a writer in
tie current issue OF the Worlds
FORK. The New York State Food
lvsstI satinE Commission has made
st1dy Of the. fpod supply Of the
ggest city, and reaches this con
1usion, among others.
The Ohigh cost OF food in large
city IS beyond doubt due in very
large part to the chaotic and uneco-
nomieal system o: handling which
ii undergoes. The New York com
mission, after careful investigation,
charged this Increase of forty-five
per cent in the cost of New York's
food to waste and not to excessive
profits 1t proposes reformed
rnetbods OF food distribution. which
II believes would save the city at
least sixty millions a year Like re-
forms in other commercial centers
would no doubt aid materially in
helping to reduce the high cost of
iying.

MRS. LEES LETTER.

N all the queries for informa-
ton and ideas for the ex-
change there have been prac-
tically no letters about chick
ems or poultry information.
All of us no doubt, too, are inter-
ested in raising chickens for our
own use if not for market. Have
any Of you guineas for sale? If so,
state price and as nearly as possible
the age. Have you white guineas,
and do you find them as satisfactory
as the dark ones?
I had quite a good hatch of the
dark ones but in these constant
rains the old mother has dragged
them about until only one or two are
left.
One hatch l took away from the
hen and put in a box, trying to get
them to eat, but they refused to and
did absolutely nothing but stand
with their heads up in the air and
"cheep'' incessantly-so my expert
ment with guineas hasn't been very
encouraging, but I'm not too dis
couraged to want to have them for
their eggs. Please let us hear
from some of you, as to your chicks,
ducks and other fowls.

THE GEORGIA SUNDAY SCHOOL
ASSOCIATION.

The Georgia Sunday School Asso-
citation has taken a forward step of
far-reaching Importance in the en-
ployment of Mr.. D. w. Sims as it's
general secretary. The office OF the
association has been opened at 613
Temple Court building, Atlanta.
Prior to Mr.. Sims taking up the
work in Georgia he had been general
secretary Of the Alabama Sunday
School Association for nearly five
years, and for it's progressive Sunday
school work Alabama stands at the
forefront of the Southern States.
Mr.. Sims proved himself a leader of
ability in Alabama. For the past
three years every county in Alabama
has held an annual County Sunday
School Convention, and each district
in all the counties have held annual,
and many of them quarterly conven-
lions. For these reasons the execu-
tive committee of the Georgia Sun
day School Association believe that
they have secured the right man for
general secretary.
The business Of the Georgia Sum
day School Association is to extend
and develop greater efficiency in the
work of all Sunday schools of all de-
nominations in every section of Geor-
gia. The plan is to organize the va
rious counties of the State into
County Sunday School Associations,
these to be auxiliaries of the State
Association The counties will then
be sub-didived into divisions and a
Division Sunday School Association
formed in each division The
County and Division Sunday School
Associations, as we'll as the State AS
ISOLATION, will hold annual conven-
tions at which the Sunday school
workers Of all denominations in that
community will gather to discuss
methods of work, report progress
and plan for more and better Sunday
schools. Not only will definite ad-
vance steps be taken in these conven-
tons, but also public sentiment will
be created in favor of better Sunday
schools. Experience has shown that
it is easy to have good Sunday
school where public sentiment de-
mands it.
In addition to the holding of con-
Ventions and the creating of public
sentiment the Georgia Sunday School
Association will seek to help Sunday
school workers of all denominations
throughout Georgia:
CD By Sunday school Institutes
held in such towns and cities as de-
sired. In these institutes the best
available experts in each line Of
Sunday school work will take part
CD By leaflets of various phases
of modern Sunday school work, such
as graded schools, the home depart
ment, teacher training, the organized
adult Bible class, etc. These are
being prepared as rapidly as possible,
and will be furnished free to any
Sunday school worker in Georgia on
request.
90 By the publication of State
Sunday school paper, to be known as
The Georgia Sunday School News. -
The first issue of this paper will be
mailed on June 2Sth.
AS will be seen from the above,
the Georgia Sunday School Associa-
ton is a cooperative effort of all de-
nominations to extend and improve
Sunday school work in Georgia. 1t
is the only organization which aims
to help every Sunday school in the
State. 1t seeks helpful cooperation,

When the attendants in the natur-

ty court house looked up one after
noon and saw bending TO come
through the doorway the form of q
man eight feet one inch tall all off,
cial dignity was thrown to the winds.
M. J. Flanagan, naturalization
clerk, at once recognized the visitor
as Capt. George Anger, the ex-circus
giant, who is now living in retire
ment on a farm in Fairfield.
Captain Anger is a native of Car
diff, Wales. He was once a police.
man in London, but his stature drew
so many people about him that he
couldn't handle the crowds he him.
self attracted, so he went into the
circus business. Lately he had been
appearing in vaudeville produce
ton of "Jack the Giant Killer" but
now he says be is done with the stage.
He served notice of becoming
citizen several years ago, got his first
papers and filed the customary no
tice of 90 days for his final papers.
