Inspection OF grocery stores by sani-

mcnt is being pushed with considerable
vigor. according to an announcement
made last night by DR.. Roy *. Elan
naSan, chief health officer
While the inspection has been i'm
progress less than week, conditions
have been uncovered which show that
the departments energy has not been
misaDplied. or a large number of
stores visited 1t was found that ciSh-
teen or twenty retailers OF foodstuffs
and milk had no permits from the
Health Department to carry on such
business. They were directed TO COM
ply with the law Immediately.
In ono instance Il man was found
distributing pickles from barrel
which he carried from place to place
in a wagon. The only cover which the
barrel had was a soiled horse blanket
The brine in which the pickles noated
was filled with horse hair, and the
owner scooped them out with his bare
hands when supply was needed by
customer. His patrons consisted main
ly of small grocery shops. This man
had no permit.

DIR. Flanagan said that he had di-
rected the inspectors not To begin pro-
sccutions until the violators have had
an opportunity to make the necessary

ed the fact that this inspection is not
a temporary affair. but that 1t Will
be made permanent, and Erocerymen
and all dispensers of foodstuns may
expect visits from the sanitary Off

SENATOR HOWARD MAY.
OPPOSE HARDW|CK
lMPORTUNED TO MAKE RACE
WOULD ADD TO INTEREST OF
APPROACHING CONTEST.

Washington, Sept. 13.-From infor-
nation obtainable here today, it is
propable that Congressman Howard of
Georgia may enter the race for the
United States Senate and make a posi-
tive announcement concerning his flu
ture plans at an early date.
During the last several months Mr..
Howard has received a large number
Of letters form personal friends in all
parts of the state pledging his support
in the event he should decide to enter
the race.
A few days ago an important pc.
litical conference of Influential Geor-
gians was held here in Mr.. Towards
behalf and he was urged to enter the
race. Asked about the matter today
Mr.. Howard would not definitely COM
mite himself, but it is very apparent
that he is seriously considering the
wisdom of such a course. When he
decides to announce it is probable that
he will first make his ambition known
to the people of his own home bailli-
wick.
In this connection it is significant
that Mr. Howard has accepted an invi-
tation to address the people DeKalb
county on Oct. 10, on the occasion of
old-home week. He will undoubtedly
have reached a decision by then as to
whether he will offer to succeed him
self in the House, or will oppose Sena-
tor Hardwick for the Senate in the
primaries OF merit year.
Mr.. Howard would naturally hest
tate to relinquish his seat in the
House and his membership on the i'm
portant appropriations committee. Still
a seat in the Senate is a prize that
most congressman aspire to win.
Other entrants expected are G.. Muir
phey Gambler, chairman of the Rail
road Commission; William J. Harris,
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission, and probably Sam L. Olive of
Augusta, who has been CONSPICUOUS in
the public eye recently as the count
sellor of Thomas E. Watson. Other
ambitious Georgians are known to
have their eyes on Senator Hardwick's
n1aon and thpir narS tO tho pround
With those prominent Georgians all
in the arena seeking the same place, a
warm contest is likely to ensue. Moth
ing is known here as to who is likely
20 offer for Congressman Towards

Senate.

COMMITTEE REJECTS
HARDWICK'S SCHEME

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Senate
committee on military affairs today
reported adversely on the Hardwick
proposition recently introduced which
provided that the consent of every
drafted man must be secured before
he would be required to go over sea.
The committee, the report says, be-
lieves the draft law to be constitu-
tional and that every man drafted
may be used to serve where he is
needed.
"The situation arising out of this
spirit of opposition to the selecitve
draft act is serious" says the report,
"and, taken in connection with the
unrest among the civilian population
growing out of commercial and indus
trial conditions, stimulated in some
cases doubtless by pro-German sympa-
thizers and propagandists, places our
country in situation of extreme peril

common cause.
ut is the view of the committee
that the selective draft act is neither
violative of American tradition nor of
the constitution and, entertaining
this view, the committee feels justi-
fed in saying that there is no neces-
sity for such legislation as that pro-
posed, on the ground of either ex-
pediency or necessity.
"The physiological effect of call
ing in question an act, the principles
of which, it seems to the committee,
have been sustained by the courts of
the country, is bad and the tendency
Of it all is to impair the military eff
cheney of the men who are already
in the service and of those who may
yet be called to serve in this time

APPEALS TO PUBLIC
To CONSERVE COAL
GARFIELD DECLARES PROB
LEM WILL BE SOLVED If
WASTE IN AMERICA is ELM
MATED.

Washington, Sept. 1S-Through
the Chamber of Commerce of the I'm
tied States, DR.. Fl. A. Garfield, fuel
administrator, has appealed to the
American business to assist in the
conservation of coal DR.. Garleld,s
appeal appears today in the official
PUBLICATION of the chamber as fol-
lows:
1T is the duty of every American
to save coal this winter. If every
family will save ton of coal, if
every industrial plant will save ten
per cent of the co.. it uses, which 10
per cent it now wastes, the coal prob
lem will be largely solved. There
| is plenty of coal in the ground but
there is shortage of cars and of la
Dor at the mines.
eff every family will reduce the
temperature of its house at least
| five degrees, it will mean that mil
| lions of tons of coal will be saved and
The health of the nation will be i'm
proved. This is not hardship; it is
a health measure, for most Ameri-
cans live in superheated houses.
Urges Economical Methods
"The coal supply can be conserved
by more economical methods of fir
ing, by sitting ashes, by watching
the furnace door and by heating only
| the part Of the house in use. To do
this is a public duty. If the house
holders of the country save one ton
out of twelve, they save ten million
tons of COAL The bureau of mines
states that many plants waste as
much as so per cent of the coal they
| buy through unscientific firing and
inadequate equipment.
Immediate changes to efficient
equipment are in many cases impos-
sible just now when our need to save
is greatest; but efficient firing and in
| telligent affort on the part of all pow
! er plant operators to do the best they
can with equipment they have, would
mean an enormous saving that would
make the coal situation safe instead
of critical.

Business Must Assist.

"The opportunity here for business
mems organizations throughout the
country to cooperate with the state
and local fuel administrators now be.
ing appointed is obvious. 1t is the pa.
triotic duty of every manufacturer to
consider the problem Of scientific gr-
ing and to see that his firemen are
properly instructed. Advice and infOr-
nation can be had for the asking
from the bureau of mines, which has
made extensive Investigations of the
whole subject of scientific coal usinp.
'The solution of the coal problem
lies largely with the American people.
The government cannot save coal for
hem; they must save it for them
selves. They must not rely wholly
upon price fixing, nor upon the al
rady overtaxed transportation system
of the country, nor upon the effort
to increase production, nor upon the
apportionment of coal,no upon the
enforcement Of the law All must CO.
operate. The consumer of coal in
house and factory can cooperate,
most effectively by the economies
suggested,
