brought out that' Coca-Cula was
not misbranded or adult' rated.
Neither does it contain, accord*
hig to the decision, any "uelete-
rious" or “injurious” substances
as added mixtures.
The decision came as a result
of the appeal by the government
pure food probers from the de
cision of the Tennessee federal
courts, following the seizure at
Atlanta of forty casks and forty
boules of the Coca-Cola bever-
age of syrup.
Juige Dennison of the Grand
Rapids (Mich.) federal bench, in
writing his opinion, concurred
in by Judges Knapper of Detroit
and Warrington of tnis city,
said:
“We do not believe it was the
intention of the congress of the
United States in passing the
pure food laws to declare ‘all ad-
d d mixtures as injurious.”
Judge Tuttle of Detroit, Mich.,
sat with the other members of
the court of appeals.

We notice that Hon. Thomas
.H.Ball comes out of Houston,
his present home, with the un
qnalified indorsement of the
. Methodist presiding elder of the
Houston district, and 29 pastors
of the many churches of differ-
ent denominations there, beside s
he has the endorsement of 30
of his for mer schoolmates and
neighbors at Euntsville, all of
whom are worthy citizens of Col.
Ball’s native town and county.
This would seem to. jar the ele
men is that are so anxious that
preachers should stay out of
politics and let the powers pre-
vail in the future as in the past
in a manner that the man who
. gets the indorsement of the
preachers cannot get into power.

definitely the real reasons of the

be transferred. This is done to
putthe matter of transfers on a
more careiul basis and to assure
prompt action by the county
superintendent on applications
bearing this* recommendation.
This doesn’t mean that no trans-
fer will be made without the
recommendation of the local
trustees, but it does mean that
with their recommendation the
transferwill be made without
further investigation.
I desire to ask trustees to be
