Atlanta Busy Cleaning Up.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.-The city
of Atlanta, acting in conjunction with
the medical authorities of the United
States army, has definitely undertaken
the task of graduating diseases
caused by immortality, commonly
known as the social diseases.
The board of health has passed regu-
lations making it unlawful for any
person afflicted with such a disease
to expose another; requiring such
persons to take treatment from
reputable licensed physicians; ipro-
viding for placards to be displayed on
their front doors where they refuse to
take such treatment; requiring drug
giss to keep a record of the names
Of persons securing prescriptions for
such diseases; and requiring the ex-
animation of all prisoners sent to the
stockade for immoral offenses.

SCHOOL BOY ASKS
TIMELY QUESTIONS
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr. Editor:
l am just a little school boy and
when / asked my papa the other night
a lot of things he said for me to write
to you and that you would answer
me as you knew more about such
things than he did.
/ wanted to know why the people
of Americas did so much for the SOL
der boys who are visiting here out
at that flying camp and nobody never
hears of them sending the company
of our home boys anything like cigar
cites, pipes or tobacco and things good
to eat they can't get where they are?
Papa said maybe the folks had for
gotten about them as they couldn't
see them. / asked papa, too, why it
was I couldn't have some biscuits
for my breakfast and he says to read
your paper and l would see that ev-
erybody was asked by President Will
son to save so the soldier boys would
have everything they wanted to eat
and it would save money too, for buy
ing bonds that our country needed, but
he said he didn't know. When / ask
ed him if it wouldn't save more if folks
would quit using these automobiles
for riding around in day and night,
and I ask you if it wouldn't save a
right smart if they did?
l read in your paper, after papa
got through, the other night and saw
the city council was going to pay out
lots of money to catch mosquitoes and
keep them from biting the soldier
boys That is fine and I wish they
would take the trash and bad smell,
Jig things in our trash can once in a
while, because the dogs knock it over
all the time and you never saw so
many flies in all your life. Don't you
reckon they would do that, too
If you think enough of little
school boys letter to answer me I
am going to ask you some more ques-
tons some of these days.

THOUSANDS REPORTED
HAVING EXCESS FLOUR

ATLANTA, Ca, April 25.--No bet
ter evidence of the patriotic loyalty
of the people of Georgia has yet been
developed than the splendid manner
in which they have reported to the
headquarters of the Food Administra-
ton for Georgia, located here, the ex-
cess quantities of wheat flour which
they have on hand.
A short time ago the federal food
administrator for Georgia, DR.. A. NJ
Soule, acting on Instructions from
Washington, issued notice requiring
all dealers in food supplies, and re-
curing all responsible heads of fami-
lies, to report to the Food Admins
tration in Atlanta not later than April
20 the quantity of flour which they
had in excess of the 30-day supply
permitted by law, this supply being
based upon the allowance Of six
pounds of flour per person per month.
OF course the food dealers all re-
ported at once. as was expected, but
the response from individuals came so
promptly, and in such overwhelming
volume, that the Food Administration
was literraly swamped with letters.
These reports do not show, necessar-
ly, that the people are boarding large
quantities of -four They show that a
comparatively reasonable excess is be-
ing held, but they show that the very
people holding the excess are quite
ready and willing to report the same,
instead of conceaIing it and hiding it
out.
The clerical force in the Food Ad-
ninistration Office alone was not
able to handle all the letters, and
large number of Atlanta women volun-
teered their services, which were
gratefully accepted by Major d. F.
McClatchey, the executive secretary If
the Food Administration.

MAUDE ADAMS WONDERFULLY
POPULAR WITH ALL CLASSES
OF AMERICAN PLAY PATRONS

the play is a lovable little waif, who,
like Peter Pan" brings one back to
youth. Mr.. Barrie never breaches,
he never scolds and never
handles sordid problems. One thing
he does in his new play is to show
that no matter how poor one may be
regarding the goods of the world he
is rich if he possesses healthy mag
ination. His little heroine is of the
class that has to imagine it's happiness
or 60 without and she is the soul of
cheerfulness. "A Kiss for Cinderella"
arouses the intellect and clutches at
the emotions. The scenes are distrib-
uted throughout three acts. The big
scene, is of course, the one in which
the little girls dream of the grand
ball is shown. Tie comedy has been
staged with great care and there will
be found. so it, promises, much to ad-
mire in the play itself, the manner Of
it's staging and in the work of the
actors surrounding Miss Adams.

The considerable interest that is be-
ing taken in the appearance of Maude
Adams at the Auditorium Saturday
May 4, seems only natural for no one
needs to be told that the little ac-
tress is wonderfully popular with all
classes Of theatregoers. Each sea-
son finds her following larger than it
was the season preceding and while
some may ascribe this to her person
ality, her charm, her magnetism, or
he rart, it is not to be forgotten that
the little lady always gives the public
the very best to be had and that in
the very best manner. Miss Adams
is happy in the possession of another
of Mr.. Barries plays this season. 1t
is "A Kiss For Cinderella" and it is
credited with being one Of the most
fanicful and exquisite works in which
she has ever appeared, This is the
play in which she is to be seen here

TREASURE AND

80 ON TOMORROW

Tomorrow morning early will be-
gin another war drive in Bismarck in
which the Camp Fire Girls will make
a canvass of the city for the Treasure
and Trinket fund.

aviators at home and abroad. is de.
rived entirely from the sale and melt

silverware of any kind donated by
people throughout the United States
Tomorrow is Bismarck's chance to

work.

lack of the movement and there is
much interest in sending Bismarck
over the top in this drive too. The
groups of the city will start out in
the morning on their canvass. The
committee is looking for nothing but
success and are planning for a large
shipment from Bismarck to the fund
headquarters. The fund goes to help
our aviators at home and abroad, and
is, the only fund existing for this
work 1t is the only opportunity CIV
en- to the public to help by gift in
the provision for the protection Of our
boys in France.
Every cent that can be raised for
the aviators is none too much. The
airplanes make every soldier in the
trenches a thousand times safer than
he would be without them. The more
airplanes there are in France and
the better they are equipped, the
more chances our boys there have to
come home safe.
Save the Boys! How?
Every soldier in the trenches has
thousand more chances of protection
and getting safe home again if he is
protected by an airplane than if he
is not Chances Of safety increased
thousand to on - Chances of cas-
ualty decreased q thousand to one.
