encountered upon the threshold of
its entrance into Georgia the bitter
opposition of Thomas E. Watson,
whose own conduct during the World
War marked him as the extreme OPP
posite of the Legion's ideals, and
who has sought to array class against
class, to create strife and discord
amongst the people of Georgia, and
especially among those who fought
for the honor and safety of then
country and its people; and,
J Whereas, since its formation
numerous false, malicious and con.
temptible illusions concerning the
character, conduct and purposes OF
the Legion have been circulated by
this man for the purpose of under
mining the influence of the same in
behalf of patriotism and good gov,
eminent.
Whereas, the said Thomas E
Watson as a means of arousing
group animosity, has inserted into
his platform as a candidate fol
United States Senator malicious
falsehood concerning the Legion
thereby dragging as material issue
into the political arena and menac
ing as a part of his campaign the
fact of the Legion's patriotic anC
unoffending existence; and,
Whereas, it will be recalled that
Thomas E. Watson during the wal
exerted all of his ability, energy ana
power to hamper, obstruct, impede
and embarrass our Government l;
the prosecution thereof; and,
Whereas, Thomas E. Watson die
by his false and disloyal counsel anG
advice, cause countless men anc
boys of our beloved State of Geor.
gia to refuse to respond to the cal
of their country during such war
and is reported to have received fol
his false, disloyal and unpatriotit
counsel and advice a stupendous sun
/ of money collected by contributions
from throngs of persons who were
thus misled by him; and,
His Paper Suppressed
Whereas, the statements publish
ed by Thomas E. Watson during the
conduct of the war were so sedltlouS
and obstructive that as measure OF
wartime safety his newspaper was
denied the use of the United States
mails for distribution; and,
Whereas, while thousands of oul
comrades were upon the soil Of
France preparing to face the Ger
man hordes, Thomas E. Watson was
giving aid and comfort to the enemy
by urging the young men of our State
not to respond to the call of theil
country either by voluntary enlist
ment or by answering the call OF
the equal obligations imposed by the
Selective Service Law; and,
Whereas, this man who is law

testing its validity at a time wh9f

preciate Property.

That the public has an erroneous inn
preston n contagious disease hospital is
an obnoxious institution, associating
them with the unfortunate appellation
pest houses, is a feature of a statement
Of DR.. Albert Robin, with reference TO
opposition that has developed TO the
location of a branch of the Physicians
and Surgeons Hospital at Chestnut and
Brooine streets.
Along this same line, DR. Robin, who
Is president of the p. d s., says: There
are no pest houses these days, and the
eHly pest i know of is the person who
would oppose his petty, preiudiced opin-
ions TO vital public improvements.
may be comfort TO the ''objectors to
know that should the Physicians and
Surgeons Hospital Association fail IN
their project, the other hospitals In the
city will be obliged to establish contagious
disease pavilions on their grounds, TO
meet the urgent demand for hospital treat
inent of the contagious diseases which
develop either outside or IN the lnsttu-
uons.
DR. Robin says the protest from the
Twelfth ward residents is coming rather
late, considering that the hospital had
acquired the property several months ago
and the matter of the establishment of
contagious disease unit has been featured
by the newspapers for the past four
months, and no objection raised. When
the matter was presented before the City
Council the representative of the Twelfth
Ward assured us that he has heard of no
objections from his constituents: on
the contrary, everybody seemed pleased
at the prospect OF a satisfactory solution
of the city S most pressing problem"
n
Twelfth ward, said this morning that when
the proposition was first mentioned, he
did not understand that it was TO be an

developed. it was intended to establish

he said he opposed it, and is still opposed

HOW BIG Is AN ECLAlRP

Announcement was recently made that
a congress of pastry cooks is soon to meet
to discuss weighty matters pertaining 10
their art. One question that would
come up for discussion so said the report,
was the correct size of the eclair.
Now it would be a very good thing II
the woman who wishes to set palatable,
well-balanced and nourlShlng table on
small amount, as small an amount, that is,
as posi- be-would take counsel with
herself concerning the wisest size for the
portion of dessert. A good many women
serve unnecessarily large portions OF des-
sert. If the meal is nourishing, q small
portion of a sweet dessert is all that is
needed and usually some other dish of the
meal is far cheaper to rely on for nourish-
ment than is the dessert Therefore.
a small-portion dessert is the most eco
nor ical to serve.
OF course, sometimes you may serve a
moderately inexpensive dessert, like bread
pudding or rice pudding, and if this is
served with an otherwise rather light meal.
big portions are an economy. For they
provide nourshment In a good form Mt a
reasonable urice. Ii is less expensive,
perhaps, than il could be in any Of the
other dishes served. But when you have
chocolate eclaiIs, for instance, which are
expensive for the amount of nourishment
they give, one small one for each person
is enough. They should be served sim
ply TO give that satisfying taste-of sweet
that most of us crave as the finishing
touch TO a hearty dinner. Two large
eclairs are not at all needed. In fact.
they are too much of good thing.
And if you nave big family, YOU can
make little ice cream go a very long way
by serving it in small portions, and using
each portion as 4 trimming or finishing
touch 10 some other cheaper dessert.
For instance you can make an inexpensive
cake, and serve this cake "a Ia mode
with the ice cream. Or YOU can use the
ice cream as the tempting finishing touch
to a baked apple. 1t gives hust the neces-
sary taste of sweetness and satisfies they
desire for something sweet and rich.
Very often the small portion Of dessert
is actually more acceptable than the larger
portion, because the preceding meal has
already gwen us all the bulk that we need
or desire.

of modern. medicine, depend upon
animal experimentation; 95 per

to determine the strength, purity
and safety of drugs that are
used by your physicians, dem
lists and veterinarians for the
benefit of man and animals. An
esthetics are used in animal op-
erations the same as in opera
tlons on persons wherever the
procedure would otherwise in
flict pain. Anesthesia is a pro-

prohibit anesthesia and make all
operations on man and animals
cruelty painful and horribly haz-
ardous.

tive would finally result in per-
manent quarantine being placed
against the State Of California
