ATLANTA AGENTS DESTROY LIQUOR. WORTH s225,OOO.
Big Consignment Discov- , cred In Box Car Filled
 With Lumber

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 10.-The larg- est shipment of expensive liquors ever seized in Atlanta, according to local of- ficers, was destroyed today. by federal prohibition agents. The liquor-24, 900 quarts of Scotch, rye and champagne, was discovered yesterday in local rail road yards by Captain Grover c. Fain, of the Atlanta police department. It was hidden behind an innocent-appear- ing ''blind' of lumber in railroad box car.
 The car was part of freight train about to leave for the north, and was consigned to Johnson" Chicago, and bore as the name of the consignor "Jakyson and Johnson" Brunswick, Ga. Captain Fain had the car detached from the train and turned over to Prohibition Director Fred Dismuke.
 Based on current boodleg prices, it is estimated that the 24,000 quarts of liquor was worth between $200,000 and $225 1000.
 The police express the opinion that the liquor had been shipped by some large Atlantic seaboard smuggling syn dicate and was intended for the holiday trade in Chicago and other northwest ern cities. Efforts are being made to discover the identity of both the, con- signee and the consignors.

 Carroll spent four days in the Tombs after a city magistrate had held him for hearing before the higher court.

 Police detectives arrested Carroll Oc- tober 24, when he refused to remove from the outer lobby of the Earl Car roll theater paintings of principals and choristers in his revue. Police char acterized the paintings as "a display of obscence and indecent. pictures"
 One of the arrestins detectives was today's only witness. Under cross examination he said he had seen the Carroll revue, but declared that it contained no figures such as exhibited in the lobby paintings

Pine Tar and Honey
 Still Best for Chest Colds and Coughs

Our mothers and grandmothers would never be without pine tar syrup in the house for coughs, chest colds, etc. This was many years ago, but modern medicine has never been able to improve on this time-tested remedy. Doctors say the pine tar is hard to beat for quickly loosening and removing the phlegm and congestion that are the actual cause of the cough. At the same time pine tar and honey soon soothe and heal all irritation and soreness.
 The kind that has been used with never-failipg success in thousands of families for years is that known as Dr. Bells Pine-Tar Honey. This is scien. tifcalIy compounded of just the right proportions of pine tar. honey and other quick-acting. healing ingredients which the best doctors have found to aid in quick relief. It contains absolutely no opiates, narcotics or harmful drugs. so can be given to young children-nne for spasmodic croup. It tastes good. too. If you want the best, a medicine that often stops the severest cough overnight, be sure you get Dr. Bells Pine-Tar Honey. It costs only 800 at any good druggist'a.
