MOTHER KIDNAPS DAUGHTER
WHO MARRIED GREEK
FRUIT VENDER

Atlanta, Ga, June The persua-
sive powers of George Catsakis, an
Atlanta Greek who runs fruit stand,
were sufficient to induce Miss Annie
Stevens, pretty 18-year-old girl, to
accompany him to Decatur to get
married, but they were not enough to
keep her when the girls irate mother
came in on the scene.
Mrs. Stevens took the girl in hand
and bundled her back home and lock-
ed her up and ordered Catsakis to
stay off the premises on pain of pain
full bodily harm, which warning he
felt he ought to comply with, as some
thing seemed to tell him that Mrs.
Stevens was dangerous, person to
fool with.
So he went to the coort house and
instituted habeas corpus proceedings
with the result that Mrs. Stevens f.
nally consented to an adjustment OF
the differences.

LICENSE REVOKED

Atlanta, Ga, June 6.-The United

Commission has revoked the license
OF the lsmert-Hincke Milling Com
pany. of Kansas City, Mo-, after if
had been proved that the comDanv's
sworn reports to the Food Admins
trat1on were not correct and did NOT
correspond accurately with its books.
The company arbitrarily and with
Out authority deprecated it's inven-
tory of flour and feed packages and
bags and varied its valuations to at
tect improperly its report as to the
cost of flour manufacture.

creased its officers salaries by 100
per cent, although the increases bore
no relation to services rendered The
salary OF one officer who performed
no substantial service was increased
from $500 to $500. The effect was to
increase improperly the milling ex-
pense reported by the firm.
ne company presented an auto
mobile. to an employee of milling
trade journal. This was apparently
IN recognition of assistance rendered
by him over long series of years in
the preparation of advertisements,
but 1t was so obviously an improper
charge to the milling expenses of the
company that there was no possible
justification for it's inclusion in the
general milling expense item reported
to the Food Administration.

TAKING LIES PLEASURES
AND SORROWS
By Jesse F. Gelders.)

Each being must sip in the course
of his life,
OF sorrow and joy and of peace and
of strife,
Of luck and misfortune, of failure
success,
OF happiness too, and bit of dis
tress.
In running the gamut of shadow and
light
Two classes of men happen into our
sight.
The one takes it's grief in a serious
role,
With terrible sorrow no friend can
console,
Clings grimly to thoughts, melan-
choly and black;
When sunshine appears, they forever
look back,
Lamenting the things that have hap
pened before,
Foreboding in fear what the future
may store.
The other division of rnortals in
Take sorrow to heart, but are happy

worries destroy?
At last comes the time when the
changes arrive,
And nary a Gloom can remain and
survive.
And do they persist in lavender
funk,
Bewailing the sorrowful dregs they
have drunk?
Why nay, they are glad, they are gay
to man,
Enjoying life's pleasures and joys
while they can.
Which class do you think is the best
in the end?
Perpetual mopers, or fellows who
bend
To what may be present, but never
stay glum,
Because they are sure that the best
is to come.

BRINGING HOME T.

Atlanta, Ga, June 7.-nacon now
plays a large part in the meat ration
OF the English people, if any part of
ration which consists of twenty
ounces week may be called large.
= In order to use the unusually large
stock OF bacon which we have been
able to ship them during the last few
months, and at the same time to cut
down the present rate of slaughtering
cattle, that they may have the bene-
III OF the summer grazing, and thus
produce more meat at little more ex-
pense, the Ministry of Food last week
decreed that from May 5th on, only
two, instead of three as heretofore,
OF the tour weekly meat coupons
couR be used for beef, mutton, or
pork. Any or all of the four can be
fused tor bacon or poultry, but it is
expected that bacon will be used by
most people to make up the deficiency
of butchers meat
Moreover, the Sight supplement-

heavy workers consists of bacon. This
is satisfactory to most heavy work
ers, especially if they work outdoors,
tor tat is good energy producer, but
there are cases where it works hard
ship. For instance, those factory
workers engaged in hardening pro-
cesses, where whale oil plays an inn
portant part, cannot, in the ordinary
way, eat meat which is fatty, and to
this class of workers, bacon makes
no appeal.
The same condition exists in re-
gard to certain workers in the Lam
cashire mills, where hot, humid at
mosphere renders a fatty diet OBJ
Jectlonable. Those beside these class
es OF heavy workers, who are hardest
hit by having to substitute bacon for
one coupons worth of beef or mutton
are the Russian Jews in the East
END of London, who, for religious
reasons, cannot eat bacon. They have
asked for a release from this restrict
ion, but have been told that the meas
ure was taken in order to save meat,
and that they cannot be exempted
from it.
In the month of April, 1918, the
English Ministry of Food Instituted
more than seven thousand prosecu-
tions for food pro6teering. In six
thousand six hundred of these cases,
condemnations were made, and the
profteers fined.
