RALLIES MEANS
OF SELLING MANY WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS

Atlanta, Ga, April l.-Towns and
cities throughout Georgia are push
ing the sale of thrift and war savings
stamps very effectively by means of
patriotic rally days, and State Direct
or Hugh Richardson, who is just back
from an extended automobile tour on
which he visited more than thirty
county, directors, strongly recommends
the plan to all thrift stamp workers.
In Marietta recently they sold more
than $4,000 worth of thrift stamps
in one day with an aggressive drive
in which the workers were organized
into Red and Blue teams, each one
competing with the other to see which
army would sell the most stamps. A
similar rally was held few days ago
in Decatur with splendid results. At
an early date there will be a monster
one-day drive in Atlanta in which
teams of women will sell thrift
stamps on the street and booths will
be operated in all places of business.

Morninu Exercises

Calfsthenics taken in the early morn
ing do much to keep up the general
health. Standing, warmly but loosely
clad, at an open window and inhaling
deep breaths Of fresh air will stimulate
the blood quickly. This might be fol-
lowed with two or three easy exercises.
One might consist Of doubling the fists.
placing them at the shoulders, and
then thrusting them out at arms length
swiftly. After that it would be well
to bend, trying to touch the floor with
the finger tips without bending the
knees. These calisthenics might be
concluded with a final one Of kneeling
and bending forward the floor from
the waist. The whole performance
need not take more than five minutes,
and will do more to make circulation
lively and muscles in good condition
than any amount Of medicine.

IN TIME OF WAR

Atlanta, Ga, April Military men
in this city who are thoroughly fa-
miliar with the situation both in this
country and in Europe, where the
tremendous drive by the German
high command on the western front
has strikingly demonstrated the fact
that the Kaiser's military power is far
from being exhausted, entertain the
opinion that Americas military force
will shortly be doubled, and that alt
provisions for equipping the army will
likewise. be doubled. World events
have taken such turn that America
must be amply able to defend herself
or cease to exist as great power.
In the United States recently, when
the bill to draft men reaching the age
OF Il years since June S, 1917, was up
for consideration, Senator Smith
strongly opposed an amendment by
Senator Hardwick to relieve men
from military duty who have passed
the age of 81 since the last registra-
ton day. Senator Smith contended
that the nations war strength should
be greatly increased to make the de-
ieat OF German militarism absolutely
certain and complete. The bill was
passed by the Senate without any of
the numerous weakening amendments
that were proposed, including Senator
Hardwick's amendment.

COMMISSIONER ]. ]. BROWN
WARNS FARMERS OF USE
OF BAD CORN

Atlanta, Ga, April l.-(Special.)-]
Unless extreme precautions are TAX
en- in the matter of feeding stock on
corn shipped into Georgia, there will
be more dead animals in the state in
the next few months than ever be-
tore from any single cause.
Thousands upon thousands of BIZ
shells of spoiled corn are being ship
ped into Georgia from the middle
west, and the state pure food depart
ment is having more than it can do
in keeping track of and condemning
such shipments.
This corn was harvested under un-
favorable weather conditions and the
result in when it comes into the Geor-
gia climate, full of moisture. it be-
comes overheated, ferments, and &C
tually rots in the car. There have
been cases in which State Pure Food
Inspector P. A. Methvin on opening
car OF hot corn or meal for inspect
ION, found the stencil so great that it
had to be allowed to air for some
time before anyone could 90 into it.
Similar conditions have been found
to prevail with a number of cars of
sweet feeds shipped into Georgia
with excessive moisture in them.
In Augusta the other day Mr..
Methvin condemned $4,000 worth of
spoiled corn, and ordered it denatur-
ed so that it could not be used as
stock feed. This corn had already
been paid for. There are now 10000
bushels of meal in Atlanta under con-
demnation for similar reasons.
More than 100000 bushels of bad
corn and meal are now tied up in the
state, on account of its rotten and
putrid condition. Unless a stop can
be put to these shipments, there will
be million bushels here within the
next thirty days, most of it paid for,
after which the purchaser is without
redress.
This corn is paid for by sight draft
with bill of lading attached and is
shipped mot subject to inspection"
Consequently when the purchaser
gets it, it is hot and unfit for any
thing except poor fertilizer. Cook
ed and sterilized it may sometimes
be fed to hogs, but even this is not
advised.
This bad corn is going into every
section of Georgia. Where the pure
food department can find it, it is
promptly condemned and denatured;
but it is manifestly impossible for the
department, with its small force, to
locate all of it.
Consumers of corn are, therefore,
cautioned by the state department of
agriculture to exercise the utmost
care in their purchases, to see that
the corn is not overheated or spoiled,
and if necessary, to cali for AN in
spector. 1t should always be shipped
subject to Inspector. 1t should always
be shipped subject to inspection and
not paid for until inspection has
shown it to be sound and good.
