More Truth
Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

NO GOOD.
We read that folks who like to tOpe
Have lately had a goodly boost 10
Their meribund, but breathing hope
OF getting lit the way they used
to-
For if a doctor viii agree
To issue the required directions,
A man can get a bun or spree
Through simultaneous injections.
And yet somehow we do not think
The methods Will have much at
traction,
Because a subcutaneous drink
Don't promis one much satisfac-
ton.
The thrills that titilates the throat
on hosting in a fizz of today,
VIII not be noticed in remote
And nerveless sections of ones
body
And while the law may see no harm
For doctors, gowned and capped
and solemn.
To serve you highballs through the
arm,
Or half way up the spinal column.
Youu miss the mirror and the bar,
The frost upon the glass CONCEAL
ing,
And your imbibing will be far
From bringing back the same old
feeling.
To get a jag on in "a cot
While round about one doctors
hover.
To be a subcutaneous set
Beneath an antiseptic cover.
Though that way ne may get a stew
A quick. or even quicker
Is not a thing that's likely to
Restore the old time taste for
liquor.

Ludicrous Barnes
Time Law Repealed

ATLANTA, July PA bill re-
pealing the famous Barnes time law
has been passed unanimously by the
House of Representatives The OBJ
ject of the Barnes time law was to
establish eastern time as the single
standard of time throughout the state
of Georgia, The federal authorities
had previously established eastern
time for the eastern part of the state
and central time for the western half
Of the state, and the Barnes time law
could not be enforced in contraven-
ton of the time regulations fixed in
Washington.
Representative Barnes took a hui
morous view of the situation when
his repeating bill came up for action
in the house. He explained that his
object had been a worthy one, but
instead of ending the confusion caus-
ed by two time standards, his law
created additional confusion, and
he thought it should be re-
pealed. The house unanimously
agreed with him and passed his re-
pealing bill without a dissenting vote.

Mrs. Mathis Unable to
Get Early Ship Home

j. E. Mathis has received a let
ter from Mrs: Mathis. who is visiting
her parents in Northern England,
stating that she has thus far been
unable to obtain booking for return
home earlier than Oct. %, although
she is still trying. She had intended
coming the first of September and
meeting Mr.. Mathis at New York,
from which place they planned to go
on pleasure trip of couple of
weeks before returning to Americas.
She states that, while the vessels
leaving America are crowded, there is
apparently as great a demand or
greater for passage coming this way
She states also that eggs are selling
at 10 cents each and strawberries at
so cents per pound over there. Cloth
ing is much cheaper than here, how
ever. In one of her recent letters
she mentioned that ''it is ! p. M and
the sun is just going down." which
is not a matter of surprise when the
northern latitude of Northern Eng.
land is considered.
