ICE CREAM must Be
8 Pc. BUTTER FAT

Under a ruling today of Commits
sioner ]. D. Price, of the department
Of agriculture at Atlanta, based on the
pure food laws, all ice cream here
after sold in Georgia must contain not
less than per cent. of butter fat.
Manufacturers of ice cream have
ben given positively to understand
that the department will insist upon
rigid adherence to this minimum STAN
dard and any sale of ice cream below
this standard will be promptly prose.
cuted.
Many of the states, Georgia includ-
ed. have been endeavoring for some
time to arrive at fair standard for
ice cream. Georgia, in common with
others, set the standard high namely,
II per cent. butter fat for plain, and
10 per cent. for fruit and nut ice
creams.
Many of the states surrounding
Georgia have reduced their standards
to and 8 per cent, and Georgia is
one of the last to follow suit. Com
missioner Prices order fixes the stand
ard at per cent. fat, that is for all
varieties of ice cream, which is still
higher than that in several of the other
states.
While ice cream comes under the
pure food laws it is largely regarded
as delicacy The difference made
by the change of standard is simply
one of richness in butter fat, and in no
sense affects the purity and whole
someness of ice cream as a food.

LIQUOR ORDERS To
BEGIN AN INCREASE

ATLANTA, Ca, May 12.-Now that
the supply of liquor laid in store is
beginning to run low, orders for ship
ment by express are beginning to in,
crease.
For the first week of prohibition
there were not more than a dozen ex-
press shipments in to Atlanta but
during the first three days of the sec
ond week no less than 300 consign-
nents have come romping in to slake
the thirst of drinkers.
In the office or the ordinary of Full
ton county the express company's re-
cord of the names of persons receiving
shipments, together with the amount
received by each, is filed in alpha
betical order by special clerk as
signed to this work.
City detectives made an inspection
yesterday with the idea that they
might find where some especially
thirsty citizen had ordered more than
the law allows, but their expectations
were not realized.
Up to date the largest number to
receive shipments come under the
head of "B" in the alphabetical list,
perhaps through some affinity between
their names and the name Booze"

MOTHERS DAY IS
SUNDAY IN ALL
Of THE BEAUTY

Don't forget that Sunday is Moth
er's Day'-the best day.
Let every one wear flower in honor
Of her--the best friend ever had, or
ever will have.
The white carnation is the official
flower, but if you can't get a white
carnation, another white flower will
do. but be sure and wear flower.
Think what mother is and has been
to you. Go back to the days of your
childhood and remember who it was
THAT watched over and cared for you,
aGd who as you grew older gave her
love and sympathy in unstinted meas
ure in your childish grief and woes,
and as time passed encouraged and di-
rected you in the right path, and who
all through life has loved you and
kept faith in you regardless of all
things else, save that she was your
mother and you her child.
So on next Sunday it will be but II
small part of the duty you owe her
and to her that you wear a flower in
honor Of mother.
The day will be appropriately OBJ
served in this city. The churches are
all making ready to this end. Special
programs have been prepared consist
ing of music and songs. Practice is
going on each day that these programs
may be rendered fittingly and in keep
ing with the occasion. Do your duty by
doing your part in the observance of
the day. Go to church, catch the in
spiration of the hour, mingle your
voice with others in songs of praise
honoring mother, but of all things
wear flower.

Case of Appam in Courts.

NORFOLK, Va, May 12-Federal
Judge Waddill today opened court pro-
ceedjngs to determine the status of the
captured British liner Appam. Coun-
sci at the opening of the case read an
opinion from the state department in
the case holding that legal questions
existed for the courts to decide and
defining these as touching the German
claim that prizes of war are allowed
refuge in American ports under the
treaty, while the department holds the
treaty grants asylum for war vessels
accompanying prizes, but does not
operate as to protect the spoils OF
war.

.25 PER CENT INCREASE
WITH GOODS IN SILVER

ATLANTA, Ga, May 12--The price
of articles made of silver has increased
% per cent. in the past two months
and still greater increase is antici-
pated by Atlanta jewelers. as the re-
suit of the unusual conditions pre-
vailing in the silver market and in the
factories which produce silver articles.
A shortage of bullion has been caus-
ed by the inactivity of the Mexican
silver mines during several years past
and by the unusual demands from
Russia and South America. Silver
bullian is now selling at 73 cents an
ounce, against a price of 40 cents Il
month ago, and the price is expected
t. go to 81. Skilled labor is scarce,
too, as great numbers have gone to
work in the munitions plants of the
country.

BERLIN, Bay (Wireless) THE
Austro-Hungarian passenger steamer
Dubrovenik has been torpedoed and
sunk by an enemy submarine in the
Adriatic, says the semi-official news
agency. The location of the vessel
when attacked, and the number OF
lives lost is not stated.
The Dubrovenik, the semi7oficial
Eews agency says, was unarmed and
was torpedoed without warning. 1t is
reported several American citizens
were on board, but the statement lacks
confirmation early today.

ALLIES TORPEDO A
TEUTON BOAT WITH
OUT A WARNING

Hard fighting was resumed early
today in the vicinity of Dead Mans
Hill in the Verdun region. The Ger
Hans again attempted without success
to dislodge the French from positions
on the slopes of the hill, but two heavy
inafntry attacks were repulsed.
Increased violence of artillery fire
in other sectors of the Verdun front
is reported from both Parrs and Ber-
lin.
A semi-official despatch from Berlin
reports the sinking in the Adriatic of
an Austrian steamer described as
passenger steamer" The despatch
does not state passengers were on
beard, and it seems probable the ship
was engaged in government service
when attacked. AS far as known no
Austrian steamers have been engaged
in passenger traffic in the Adriatic or
elsewhere since early in the war It
is noted in this connection that a
Faris news agency despatch dated May
10th, reported the sinking in the lower
Adriatic of IAN enemy transport laden
with war munitions"

INCHES SHORT IN
THIS SEC TIO N

A shortage of practically twenty
inches of rainfall exists in this Sec
tion for the year from May IL, 1915, to
this day, according to the figures fur
nished by Joe M. Bryan, the local
weather observer.
Mr., Bryan stated Friday that the to-
tai rainfall from May 18th, 1915, to
that day this year is 3O.34 inches,
which is shortage of about twenty
inches.
Within the last twenty-three days
this section of the state has had only
one-tenth of one inch in rainfall, stated
Mr.. Bryan.
The maximum temperature for
Thursday was 101 degrees, which is
quite high mark for this season of
the year. The high mark for the mer-
curry on Wednesday was 100 degrees.
Al of these figures are official, they
having been furnished by Mr.. Bryan.
1t is estimated today that the tenn
perature is ranging around the high
marks already set for Wednesday and
Thursday, and until a rain comes the
people and crops of this section will
suffer intensely from the extraordinary
heat.
