CLAIMS DEMPSEY CAN
STOP JESS WILLARD

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-Con McVey.
who helped train Jim Corbett, believes
Jack Dempsey can stop Willard in
side of twenty rounds. He saw Demp-
sey in action for the first time yes
terday.
He is the first heavy weight" said
McVey, who looks like the old
bunch. | would call him slightly
smaller edition of Jim Jerfries. He
is one of the best two-handed punch
ers have ever seen. He is always
on top of his rival. He can whip
Miske any time. Miske knows this
and held. Dempsey is a little clumsy
on his feet, but he will get over that
for he is young. Jack has the call
among the heavy weights of today,
and l firmly believe that he can stop
Jess Willard inside of twenty
rounds"

GEORGIA CORN MAKES
THE VERY BEST MEAL

If Georgia consumers would insist
q having meal ground from Georgia
corn. it would prove of distinct ad-
vantage to them, as well as to the
State, according to the Georgia De-
partment of Agriculture.
Georgia corn is notoriously sweet
er and more wholesome than western
corn and these qualities are of course
carried into the meal ground from it.
Georgia corn, too, is generally free
from the trouble that has arisen in
connection with large quantities OF
western corn and western meal shipp-
ed into Atlanta, which have become
fermented and useless for food. Thou
sands of pounds of this western corn
and meal have been recently seized
and condemned by the pure food de-
partment.
Besides getting better product,
the consumer of meal who demands
that from Georgia corn, causes a
saving in transportation charges and
encourages Georgia food production
which, just at this time, is most
important factor.

ICE CREAM soDAs FOR SAMMY
One million ice cream sodas.


One million ice cream sodas.
A-ahl
Sufficient to cool the throats of a
flock of giraaffes-ice-cold, fizzy,
favored with "strobry," "razzbry,"
pineapple" or "chalkate."
Um-m!
They may not seem so imposing
here in the Sunny South, with soda
fountains on every corner, but-oh,
boy! won't they be sample packages
of heaven to the American boys over
in the war zone? And the assurance
of at leafs a million fruit favored
drinks as a starter is found in the
cabaled order just received by the
Overseas Department of the Y. M.
C. A. War Work Council, from Paris
headquarters in France as follows
"Send quickly concentrated fruit
syrups for million summer drinks" "
Frances pet drinks, champagne
and red wine, are going to turn an
absinthe green with jealousy this
summer when the Great American
Drink begins fizzing along the battle
front and going over the top of the
glasses. So it is a sure thing when
the heat of June begins to give the
American soldier boys an awful thirst
they will turn gratefully from the
trenches to the "Y" huts where they
received hot chocolate last winter,
and there they will clamor of the
Red Triangle secretaries for "stro-
bry" or a "razzbry sody" soon.
Possibly to assure plenty of foam,
the same cablegram ordered the Y.
M. C. A. to send one ton of shaving
soap. Among the other creature
comforts for the soldiers required in
France are ten tons of chocolate bars,
ten tons of granulated sugar, ten tons
of flour, ten tons of assorted cigar
cites, and five tons of smoking to-
baccO.
1t will be noted that no chewing
tobacco is ordered. This is not the
result of any prejudice on the part
of the soldiers against the American
habit which panied Dickens so much.
No, no. Modern warfare, that's all.
The overseas secretaries reported
that a plug or fine cut devotee with
his favorite quid of the American
weed in mis- mouth is seriously en-
barassed when he hastily dons his
gas mask.
with tobacco biting inside your
cheek, the OF gas mask anchored
tween yer teeth, war sure is hell"
argues one Southern soldier after a
front line adventure. So chewing
tobacco is no longer popular at the
front in France.
