EAT CORN BREAD AND
HELP YOUR COUNTRY

Eat corn bread and help your coun-
try help the Allies win the war and
restore peace on earth.
Such is the slogan that Atlanta
housewives have taken up in their eff
forts to render practical service to
the country, as well as to combat the
high cost of living, and grocers de-
clare they are selling vast quantities
of meal in comparison to what they
used to sell before the war.
And another good way to help the
country and combat the high cost Of
living is to eat graham bread. More
than fifteen percent of the wheat sup
ply of the country is wasted every
year in the boiling process. Unbolted
-four, better known as graham flour, is
a great deal healthier than white -four.

ATLANTA HAS GERMAN WHO
Is AMERICAN TO THE CORE

ATLANTA, Ga, May 17.-His father
AID mother were born in Germany, and
his father has published the German
language newspaper in Georgia for
many years, and he was partly educat-
e5 in Germany, but when it comes
right down to brass tacks, M. M. OPP
penheim is American to the core, and
he proved it yesterday by presenting
himself for enlistment in the National
Guard.
1t so happens that Oppenheim is two
inches under the minimum height re-
nuired for a man of his weight, and
consequently they turned him down,
hut he's going to register on the
draft date named by the President in
his proclamation. and figures that he
may yet be taken into the service as a
soldier.

JAPANESE GAINED
VARIOUS REFORMS

TOKYO, May 17.-Japanese people
have seen within the past few days
considerable advance in the constitu-
tional history of Japan-the establish
ment of regulations by which the Jap
anese people may appeal direct to the
throne.
The subjects of the land of cherry
blossoms for the first time in history
find themselves with power to inform
the Emperor direct of their opinions
concerning the rule of tn ecountry.
Means by which the Japanese may
communicate direct with their SOW
ereign were provided at a recent meet
ing of the Privy council, an advisory
body to the throne. His Majesty him
self attended this meeting.
Those seeking for an explanation OF
this unexpected action have pointed
significantly to the Russian revolution,
protesting to see here a touch OF the
world tendency towards democracy.
The new regulations, which have
been approved and published in the
Official Gazette, provide for the estab-
lishment of an Office under the direc-
ton of the Lord Keeper of the Privy
Seal, who will receive any suggestions
o, grievances which the people may
wish to express. These will be forw-
alded to His Majesty, who, if they deal
with state affairs, will refer them to
the government. If the appeal is one
involving court matters, it will be
handled by the Minister of Household
Affairs.
The Japanese Constitution grants the
subjects of the empire the right OF APP
pealing to the throne, with due respect
and through the proper channels, but
heretofore these channels have been
lacking and there has been no ruling
to guide such an action.
AS a result, the ancient custom of
"Jikiso" sprang into being years ago.
Dropping a letter into the Emperor's
carriage was a form of this practice.
This was considered an objectionable
crime and the offender often met with

FAMOUS SUIf RECALLED BY
DEATH OF FRANK BESANT

LONDON, May 1.-THE Rev. Frank
Besant, who was the husband of Mrs.
Annie Besant, the widely known theo-
sophist, author and lecturer on relig
inus, philosophical and scientific sub
jects, died recently in the village of
Sibsey in Lincolnshire, where for 40
years, he was vicar of the village
church. The vicar was rs years old
and his famous wife is nearly 20.
The Rev. and Mrs. Besant attracted
worldwide attention many years ago
when they separated and engaged in a
long controversy over the custody of
their only child. They were married
il 1867. In 1878, a judicial separation
was arranged, by the terms of which
Mrs. Besant was to have the custody o.
her daughter, Mabel. Mrs. Besant pur
sued a varied. worldwide career, fight
ing in law courts, addressing huge
audiences, leading strikes and defying
governments. She subsequently met
Charles Bradlaugh, and took an active
part in his propaganda.
This led the Rev. Frank Besant to
begin proceedings in 1878 for the GUS
tody OF his daughter on the ground
that her mothers opinions would be
detrimental to the future prospects
of the child in society, to say nothing
of her eternal prospects"
Mrs. Besant appeared in person ana

CAMELS IRE
VERY VALUABLE WAR GIFT

CALCUTTA, India, May 1.-THE gift
Of hundred camels from the Khan of
Khalat, Baluchistan, to the Viceroy of
India, is a very valuable war donation.
The Khalat camels are considered in
many respects the finest in the world,
hut purchase of good animals of this
type has been almost impossible, owing
to the high value which their owners
set upon them. The Khalat camels are
said to be exceptionally swift. and so
temperate in their drinkings as to be
almost total abstainers.

The Bank of Leslie has inaugurated

materially increased this year.
Many farmers are following the in

from the progressive policy adopted by
the bank.

these two stars to win, there is pos

OF the leading players in Hilo, and
has had but little trouble winning his
