er-Drinkins With Meals

Pursuant to a tradition OF Ions
standing, it is a custom to forbid the
drinkin3 of water at meal time
There was a time when such advice
appeared most reasonable.
Prof. Hawk and his pupils at the
University of Illinois have been In
vestigating, during the past few
wears, the correctness (f the current
attitude towards this question, with
results quite at variance with the
traditional idea. When the influence
Of water drinking with meals was
examined by direct experiment On
man the alleged direful consequence
es were found missing; there were
no apparent i'll effects. On the con-
trary, the general conclusion from
all the findings was that if water is
taken with meals there is better
digestion and more complete it'll
ization Of food. A pronounced i'm
provement in the digestibility OF fat
was also observed.
Since there is a constant tenden-
cy, at least among persons whose
knowledge Of the given subject Is
slight, to carry to extremes c0nclu-
sions derived from experiments, 1t
seems worth while to add a warning
against the indiscriIninate and eX-
cessiye use Of large quantities OF
water. Furthermore, nothing that
has been said is intended to lend
any support to the American GUS
tom OF drinking water that is ice
cold.
The experiments Of Hawk and his
pupils indicate that our ideas with
regard to the drinking of water must
be revised, but we must wait for re-
ports Of observations from a larger
body Of observers. In the meantime,
says the Journal Of the American
Medical Association, we may allow
water more freely with meals,
subjeot to the individual exceptions
which experience brings out.

State Instruction for
Poultry Raisers

Teaching is best done by OBJECT
lesson. Hence agricultural instruc-
ton by means Of farm demonstra-
ton has proved highly successful
The achievements of the boys corn
clubs give additional testimony to
the value of this method of dissem-
mating scientific knowledge and
showina the value of improved
methods.
In line with this development is
the decision of the Directors of the
Georgia Experiment Station to es-
tablish a department of poultry cul-
ture whereby the varieties of fowl
and their adaptation to the needs
and climate of Georgia may be
studied and the benefits given to the
increasing army of poultry raisers
The establishment CT such de-
partment the Georgian has long ad
vocated, confident that it would be
of great practical value to the in
dustry throughout the state: The
directors Of the Station are to be
congratulated on their forward step.
The successful show just closed at
the auditorium is conclusive Of the
fact that the interest in poultry
raising in Georgia needs only to be
fostered to become one of the states
largest wealth producing factors.
The Experiment Stations depart
ment will not only boost this inter-
est materially but will serve to
guide it in right channels.-Atlan-

General Business Not
Expected to be Better

Atlanta, Jan. 16.-In the course
of statement prepared by him at
the request of the New York Even
ing Post, William Hurd Hillyer, vice
president and treasurer of the Hill
yer Trust Co., has the following to
say about the general banking situ-
alton and the prospects for 1912:
The most helpful feature in the
outlook in regard to the general bus
mess situation is, in my judgment,
the reaction against hysteIical at
tacks on property. The American
people are beginning to realize that
the large corporations are devices
for the economic handling both of
capital and labor and should be
drafted into the public service rath-
er than be demolished Or disinte-
grated
Il do not expect better times du-
ring 1912, so far as general business
is concerned. | do believe that the
presidential election will have
strongly deterrent influence upon
trade and industry. I therefore look
for a continuance of lower interest
rates for short time loans, but
firmer tendency in long loans, OW-
ing to underIyiaS conditions which
are independent of general bus
mess"
These views will be of general in
terest, because Mr. Rillyer is re-
9arded as one of the most thought
iul and progressive as well as one of
the most successful of the younger
bankers in the South.

Atlanta, Jan. 16.-,Govcrnor JOHN
M. Slaton is at Milledgeville today,
inspecting the state sanitarium and
other state institutions there.
His inspection Of the sanitarium
is particularly interesting because
information has just been given out
that the institution is to have ali
other large building as a donation
from some wealthy people of the
state, whose names are withheld
for the present.
The fund for this purpose is to be
about 100000, and will be used to
build a convaIescent ward where
those whose mental troubles are inn
proving may be kept away from
those who are insane, and where
every opportunity may be given for
the complete restoration Of body
and mind.
A building of this kind has been
deemed one of the greatest needs
of the sanitarium, and it is the
purpose of the now anonymous do
nors to equip it without expense to
the state. The only thing, it is said,
which they will require is the
states maintenance after it is built
and this proposition will be sub
mitted to the legislature in its next
regular session.

Rev. and Mrs. Fisher
Entertain Stewards

The Board of Stewards were en-
tertained Thursday evening at the
Central M. E. parsonage by Rev.,and
Mrs. Guyton Fisher. There seems
to have been some difficulty IN the
past to get a full attendance OF
the Board of Stewards at the reg

havind these meetings held AT the

stated, was the pastors home.
The meeting was presided over by
the chairman, E. K. Farmer. After
devotional services, conducted by

portance to the church for the en-
Vsuing year were taken up anc dlS-
posed of; most especially was the
matter Of improving the feature OF
music discussed and movements to
this end'are beinS made.
At about $50 the charming and
gracious hostess, assisted by Mrs. Z.
A. Holtzendorff, appeared with de-
licious and daintily prepared viandS
with which to satisfy the inner man
and believe me. there was some
thing going ca ul4lon5 the Board OF
Stewards for awhile.
The menu was served in three
courses, viz: Salad course first, fol-
lowed by French drip coffee with
whipped cream and waters, and last,
social minis, fudge and sailed
almonds.
At late hour the meeting adj
Hourned, but not before vote was
taken, which was unanimous, eX-
