THURSDAYS LIVE

The cattle trade at the Detroit stock

very few cattle on sale worth more
than Sc per cwt. Prices were steady

bulls which were 20 to % cents low.
er. The demand from the country
was about the best ever known at
this season OF the year and local kill
ers found IL hard to buy anything
worth the money. That beef and
'near-beef'' is scarce in Michigan is
indicated by the fact that out Of a
run Of more than 1000, not more than
200 could be called tidy killers. Mich
cows were active and steady. Prime
veal calves were active and steady
with last week, but all other grades
were dull and hard TO sell. Best
calves sold for $11 per cwt.
I The demand for good fat lambs was
active but only a few OF this kind
came TO hand in the run. Common
lambs were dull and lower. Top
lambs $3.50. The outlook for prime
lambs seems to indicate higher prices
as the season advances.
The hog market was dull and slow,

TRUTH ABOUT PIMPLES

The skin Is an index TO the digestive
organs. Pimples. as rule indicate
that there Is something wrong with the
stomach or a persons mode OF living.
There are a few simple suggestions
Which IL followed usually cure the
pimply skin.
First-Exercise vigorously enough.
daily, to perspire freely This Is a
splendid method OF Kidding the skin OF
polsons secreted In the pores OF the
skin.
Second-Keep the quantity OF food
eaten. daily, in some relation to the
amount and sort OF work done Re-
member that heat-producing foods, In
abundance, are not healthful in the
summer time. Neither Is IL necessary
for the person who leads an easy life
with little exercise. to eat as much as
the person who takes a large amount OF
exercise or works at manual labor al
day.
Third--Keep the skin very clean
Battle frequently. Rub the skin vtgor'
oCsly with rough towel.
Trying to cure pimples by outward
application Is poor policy. The
] method suggested takes trouble and
: time So does anything which Is ac-
complished well.

be the idea came from some one

to live in the city. and objected To-
smoke on general principles or jus.
because he or she was just a plain

where, and committees We're APP

The idea grew until cities became
interested and made it a part Of
the city government, along with the
other departments for the order
and health of the city. hence the
smoke inspector, whose value to the
public pocketbook and health is
now getting the credit it deserves.

carbon or SCOT it contains is of so
little fuel value that it would

Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-04

Editor The Georgian:
In your issue of October 20 you
give considerable space and promi-
nence to an article by Inspector
McMicheal on the loss sustained by
the citizens of this city through
dense smoke being allowed to es-
cape from the chimneys in Atlanta.
Mr.. McMichaers figures are
prObablv correct. according to the
tests and observations made in the
cities to which he has reference,
hut those cities are in the north
ern part Of the country, where the
CRATE is not used so much in house
heating. There being seldom more
than two. or at the most, three
CRATES in the large residences, and
in the smaller houses of seven to
ten rooms, in most cases, there are
no CRATES at all. and if there are, they
are out there for ornamental pur-
poses. with gas connections in case
there should be any use for them in
the early fall or late spring. All
the houses are heated by stove or
furnace, and in almost every house
hard coal or coke is used for neat
ing. Very little smoke or SCOT
comes off either hard coal or coke,
so that the average of SCOT from a
residence In Illinois, Michigan or
New York would be less than from
q house of the same size in Georgia,
provided the weather conditions
were the same. However, even
using less tons of coal per house in
the winter season, there will be
more smoke and SCOT in Atlanta
due to the use of soft coal in CRATES.
This part of the problem is hard
to handle here on account of your
milder climate On what is consid-
cred a cold day in Atlanta a small
amount of coal in the CRATE will
warm a room. You do not get zero
weather "a hours a day, for a week
at time. as they do in Detroit OF
Chicago, and for which conditions
they must be prepared there
on the manufacturing end of the
smoke nuisance the problem has re-
ceived 50 much attention that it is
no longer a problem.
We have always known that
dense black smoke was unburned
fuel. but most managers of facto-
ries thought that it would cost
more to burn it than what the get
ting rid of it would benefit them.
and as all factories are run for
profit. most managers OF owners
were content to let the black smoke
roll out.
In fact, 1t is only few years ago
that owners pointed with pride to
the smoke from their factories. 1t
was an indication to the town that
their plant was running; that they
were providing work for the citi-
zens: that times were good and
showed that he was a successful

Mental Indecision.

The numDer of workers who go
ahead and Go the thing when they
are told once is not large-most
people have to be carefully super
vised in order 10 get results.
Inehiciency comes from mental in
decision, with physical weakness
and wrong education SIS a causa-
tive base.
The success oy failure Of q bust
ness institution turns on its or
ganization. Wise organization min
imizes the cost of supervision. 1t
makes it easy for all to do right
and difficult to do wrong.
According to Fourier, each en-
ployee pays for his own supervi-
sion. This is true up to certain
point and as a theory. But actual
ly the theory falls down in the case
where the employee does not earn
enough to supervise himself; then
the tax falls on the concern. Just
as in industrial schools. the scholar
may earn something, but the deficit
is made good by his parents, who
pay his tuition and board.

At every vagrant puff Of wind
They rise and whirI away.

Reincarnated from the sand.
Behold they can not rest.
