Court Gives Widow
Insurance in Overriding
Obligation to a Bank
Assignment of Policy Does Not Di-
vest Beneficiary of Rights, Geor-
gia Judge Holds.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-Overruling a de-
murrer to Mrs. Crawford Garard's pc
tition, wherein she sought to restrain
an insurance company from paying
some $4,000 insurance on the life of
her husband to the defunct Merchants
bank, Judge A. L. Franklin, of the
Richmond county superior court, has
ruled that an assignment made to the
bank by the late Crawford Garard did
not divest Mrs Garard of her claim
to the money, inasmuch as she appear
ed as the beneficiary, and the effect
of the courts ruling is that the insur-
ance money will go to the widow.
The insurance company has paid
the money covered by the policy over
to the superior court, where it is held
as trust fund pending final DISPOSE
ton Of the case. An appeal from Judge
Franklin's ruling probably will be
made by attorneys for the bank, and
in the meanwhile the money will re-
main in custody of the court,

There is one thing about the boil

no two ways about it. 1t is this: An
the weevils we have to contend with
next year will be those that come
through the winter alive and their
descendants.
If we could kill every weevll IN the

weevils next spring and none next
summer. But we can't kill them all.
Some will escape all our efforts to de,
stroy them and some OF them Will

Just how many will get trough

do in our cotton fields between now

combined, and just how many wee

TAKE 100000
OF GOLD FROM OCEAN
BRITISH SAILORS SALVAGE
TREASURE FROM SUNKEN
SHIP. BRAVED PERILS.

Strange perils encountered at the
bottom of the sea- fights with great
man-eating doghsh, risks of entangle-
ment in treacherous seaweed and the
danger of death in the uneasy move
ment of the shifting sands OF the
ocean floor make the salvage OF the
Laurentcs golden treasure a thrilling
tale of modern adventure.
But Commander Guy Damant of
the British salvage ship Racer has
completed the work of recovering
S35 100000 worth of gold bars and
silver bullion from a mass OF buried
wreckage.
Treasure Ship Torpedoed.
The Laurentic, carrying 2,879 gold
bars worth $30,000,000 and $5,0O0,O00
worth of English coin, was torpedoed
by the Germans off the Donegal coast
in 1917.
The following year Commander
Damant, in the admiralty ship Racer,
set off on his salvage expedition. The
old wooden vessel had only few
quick-fring guns and small crew.
In the early years of the salvage
operations the Racer was unprotected,
carving her cargo of gold at intervals
to Londonderry. The only guard on
the ship at night was an armed watch
man.
The danger increased daily Armed
Irish irregulars gathered on the rocks
overlooking the bay. Not until then
was a torpedo-boat destroyer sent as
an escort to the Racer.

SAYS MANY SKIMP
FOOD TO BUY GAS
DIET EXPERT BLAMES AUTO
FOR SUBNUTRITION AMONG
AMERICAN FAMILIES.

MANY American families are going
hungry to save money enough for the
Sundays automobile gasoline supply,
it is declared by Dr. Alonzo E. Tay-
Tor, director of the Food Research In
stitute of Stanford University, in a
statement made public at health con-
ference in Chicago. DR.. Taylor, who
was diet adviser to the Hoover food
administration during the war, warns
of a dangerous movement toward re-
striction of the American family diet
in order to spend savings on Injuries.
There is a striking amount OF sub
nutrition in the families OF the we'll
to-do," the statement reads. 1T IS
common to find people denying them
selves their accustomed subsistence
and even proper diet in order to enjoy
trips and luxuries There is evidence
all over the country that food is be-
ing skimped that gasoline may be
purchased. A large population in our
cities lunches on tidbits and desserts
and dimes on delicatessen. For the
welfare of the American nation the
standards of normal nutrition must be
maintained despite the claims OF
amuSementS and nOn-eSSenudlS.
The French. Dr. Taylor points out.
have solved the problem of economy,
without loss of food value, by a rs
per cent larger use OF bread.
"Half the calories in the French diet
are in bread" Dr. Taylor. asserts. In
this country the bread consumption
does not amount to 80 per cent of the
intake. If the bread consumption here
were advanced to 40 per cent it would
represent a pronounced cheapening of
the diet in the price sense without the
least deterioration in the quality sense.
Proper Accomplishments of milk, veg
etables and other articles are neces-
sary for health and growth. Bread is
not properly appreciated as a food in
this country. 1t is too commonly re-
garded as a filler"

MERCHANTS INDICTED
SOLD CANNED HEAT" AN AL
LEGGED INTOXICATING AND
POISONOUS PRODUCT.

ALBANY, Ga.-Albany drug store
and grocery store proprietors, seven
of whom were indicted by the grand
jury in Dougherty superior court on
charges of violating the prohibition
law in connection with the sale OF
canned heat" are explaining that
they had no inteption Of violating
either the state or federal laws and
that they consulted officers before
making the sales.
Contentious of Dealers.
c. d. Robinson, one Of the most
prominent druggists in Albany and
one of the defendants, declared that
he consulted Albany police officers
and United States district court Off
GERS as. soon as he discovered that his
sales of canned heat" were in excess
of what is normally required for
cooking purposes. George F. White,
United States commissioner, Robin
son said sent samples of the product
to the government chemists at Wash
ington and these ruled that the prod
net did not violate the Volstead act.
His sales, which had been suspended
in the meantime, were then resumed,
the druggist declared.
Other dealers declared that they
had consulted state officers and had
been told that there was no law
against the sale They urged that the
canned heat" which is mixture OF
a paraffn and alcohol, is not within
itself beverage, and that this has to
be processed before it can be used as
such Grand jurors stated, however,
that all required in the way of pro-
cessing is to squeeze the alcohol from
the parafin. 1t is also a contention of
the state that the product is not alone
Intoxicating, but that it is dangerous
and likely to produce blindness.
Couldn't Supply Demand.
During the last six months the sale
of this product in Albany has in
creased at least ten fold it is estimat-
ed. 1t is said that a negro who had
lived in Chicago taught local negroes
to use it as a beverage, and that the
