BELIEVED AUDITORIUM
WAS GOING TO BE BLOWN
UP BY A GERMAN SPY

ATLANTA, Ca, May 9.-Now that
grand opera in Atlanta is over, there
can be no harm in telling the sensa-
tional though silly story which is back
os the real reason why the attendance,
while good, was something less than
last year.
Some said it was the war and some
said it was prohibition, but it wasn't
either.
On the Saturday before the opening
of opera week a wild rumor became
current in Atlanta that the Auditorium
was going to be blown up by a Ger
man spy during a performance when
the place was crowded. Many people
believed it and were frightened away.
1t would surprise the public, it is
whispered, to know the names of some
of the uneasy society people who were
suddenly called out of town" or de-
veloped imaginary illnesses"
Secret service agents came here
from Washington to sift the rnmor to
the bottom, and did sift it, and found
that there was absolutely nothing of it
beyond the fertile imagination Of the
gossip mongers who started and kept
it going.

DISPLAY OF AMERICAN FLAG
is CARRIED TO EXTREME

ATLANTA, Ca, May 3.-Display OF
the American flag in Atlanta has been
carried to such extreme and ridiculous
lengths by young girls and youths
with much love of show and little
sensible patriotism. that thoughtful peo-
pie ere beginning to call for cam
uaien of education in the newspapers
to put stop to il.
1t was bad enough when the youths
took to wearing flags pasted on the
corners of their collars, but now the
girls are wearing tiny flags as beauty
spots glued to their compilations in
conspicuous places, and some are even
adjoining their hosiery with the Stars
ard Bars.

HOME.BAKED BREAD is AN
ECONOMICAL FOOD SAYS EXPERT

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2'-lf
home-baked bread were uniformly well
made, it would be used more extern
sively than at present, in place of more
expensive foods, says specialists In
the United States department of agri-
culture, and this would be distinct
economy. From the standpoint of nu-
triton it makes very little difference
whether breadstuffs are served in the
form of bread or in the form of break
fast cereals, side dishes with meat, or
desserts. A man engaged in moderate
muscular work can profitably consume
about three-fourths of pound day
of breadstuffs any one Of these forms.
This quantity is the equivalent of one
FOUND of baked bread AS matter OF
fact, however, it is not probable that in
the average family this uantity is con-
sumed and the deficiency is maze up by
the use of more expensive substances.
OF course, bread alone is not sufficient
for the maintenance of health, but from
both an economical and hygienic
point of view should be used more ex-
tensively than it usually is.
In a new publication of the depart
ment, viz, Farmers Bulletin No. 8O7,
detailed directions for the making OF
bread in the home are given, to-
gether with a number of convenient
recipes for homemade biscuit, rolls
and bread in which rice and potatoes
are used with -four. The bulletin also
gives a score card by means Of which
the housewife can estimate the merit
of her product.

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. Whats an inside bath"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per-
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who Immediately upon arising
III the morning. drink glass of real
hot water with teaspOonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
ncys and the thirty feet Of intestines
OF the previous days waste, sour bile
ard indigestibIe material left over in
the body which if not eliminated every
day. become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the blood
causing headache, bilious attacks, foul
breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou@
BILE, kidney misery, sleeplessness' i'm
pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels. 1t is vastly more
important to battle on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.

NORTHERN CITIES CLEANING
SEWERS WITH ALIGATORS

ATLANTA ,aG :, May 3.-Trenton, N
J., and other northern cities have Dor
rowed the south Georgia and Florida
system of using alligators to clean out
sewers. Acknowledging their indebt
edness to the south, several city en-
gineers have used the alligators with
success. The scheme consists in tying
cord to the alligators tail and send
ing him crawling from manhole to
manhole. A rope is tied to the cord,
which draws the rope after it, and a
chain is then tied to the rope, and
tie chain is dragged back and forth In
the sewer to clean it out.

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE MAY
SEND ANOTHER SHORTSTOP
TO MAJOR LEAGUE CIRCLES
BY H. C. HAMILTON.

NEW YORK, May 8. = Walter Nc
Creole, manager of the Portland Pacific
Coast league club, is ready to send
another shorstop to the major leagues.
Charley Hollocher, he declares, is
ready, and will stick just as surely as
some of the others McCredie has turn
ed up.
McCredie has accumulated a habit of
sending shortsops to the majors,
sprinkled around over both circuits is
smattering of former Beaver short
tielders.
Roger Packinpaugs, now captain of
| the Yankees and one of the smartest
and cleverest ball players in either
league, was Mercedes first donation
of any Importance. McCredie dispatch
ed him to Cleveland, but he was
cropped there because shortstops were
too frequently scattered around the
Cleveland park. But he went to New
York and Immediately made good.
Ivan Olson was next. Ivan isn't a
whale of fielder, not a demon with
the stick, but he is recognized as a
smart ball player ,one of the wise fell
lows who are invaluable to baeball
club. Wilbert Robinson wanted to
send Ivon to Vernon last winter to
take over the management of that
club, but the big league CLUBS
wouldn't valve and Ivan stuck HE
was with Cleveland for some time and
lust before Joe Birmingham and the
Cleveland owners threw their hats in
the ring Ivan was seriously considered
as a possible successor to the Cleve-
land managership.
Then there came Dave Bancroft, star
ring every day for the Phillies. 1t has
been said of Bancroft that it was due
to him that the Phillies won pennant
in 1915. Of course, every one admits
that Grover Cleveland Alexander had
something to do with it, but the Phil
lies certainly would have looked funny
without shortstop. And Bancroft was
the only one of a half dozen recruits
that year who showed anything.
Chuck Ward is this years contribu-
ticn. McCredie, calls him the ball
hawk" He never has hard chance
He is one of the easiest working in
felders in the business. McCredie be-
lieves he will prove one of the stars OF
the National league in a very short
time. He is making an attempt to
| fill Hans Wagner's shoes at Pittsburg

Washington Parish Quota SO
Men for New Army.

Baton Rouge, La, July 49,
Figures were given out by the
Adjutant General McCrory thi!
afternoon, showing the quota
that each parish in Louisiana will
be called upon to furnish in draft
ing the new army. The figures
are the net quota for each parish
with all of the enlistments de.
Quoted. The parish of Orleans
will furnish a total Of 1924 men,
which is the largest quota, while
Cameron, which is the smallest

by parishes follows:
