FRUITS are better than drugs TO improve
the stomach and complexion. 1t is not a
fact that fruits produce acidity of the
stomach. On the contrary, they correct
it. Ripe apples, pears. plumS and peaches
eaten raw. without sugar. are medicine
for a sour stomach. The vegetable salts
are converted into alkaline carbonates
which purify by cOunteracuing the acidity
already in the stomach. Diners who
overeat and have fits of indigestion ana
the blues next morning, take carbonate of
soda. in tablets or liquid; ripe, juicy APP
pie or two and no other breakfast would
cost less and do more good

SHY ON CYCLONES.

None of Any Consequence in the
Northern Hemisphere This Year.
This has been an OF year for West In
dian cyclones. They have probably con-
fined their antics to the southern hemi-
sphere Those north of the equator put
in enough work last year to make up for
all the time that had been lost and sew
eral years to come beside.
The storm signals have not been hoisted
in Savannah this summer, and the only
signal that has loated above the Sayan-
nah station is the information signal
which was run up only once in the latter
part OF July, merely as caution to
mariners that there was a small storm
brewing in the gulf. Reports on that dis
turbance Stated it would disappear as
soon as il struck the coast which after
wards turned out just as stated The
calm after the storm seems 10 apply.to
the year as well as theday and hour.
There have been one or two minor cy-
clonic disturbances around some of the
West Indies, but they were oflittle effect.
and no damage whatever to life or prop
erty has been reported as the result Of
them. They did not come anywhere near
the United States coast, and little atten-
ton was given them. A day or two ago a
cyclonic disturbance Of small CONSEQUENCE
was reported at some OF the northern sta
tions, but IL has not as vet come near
enough 70 any of the paths Of navigation
10 attract any attention. 10 seems that
excess of temperature and rainfall will be
about the only remarkable things about
SaNannahs weather this year

Mercury Takes a Flyer Up in the
Nineties for Change.
Yesterday would pass anywhere for a
hot day. 1t certainly passed for one in
Savannah Mercury was up to go, and
it did not 60 below 75' The mean was
81, or = above the average. While this
is high temperature it has vet to 90
several degrees, higher before it reaches
the record Of September year ago, when
it went up TO 81
The humidity, which has good deal to
DO with the way the weather is felt at
TINS season, and which has been high dur
ing the last month. was very little out of
the way yesterday If anything, it was
below the average. The average for Sep
TEN Der Is between S3 and 81 per cent.
yesterday it was IS per cent.
A good many people kept their weather
eye on the thermometer, but it was hard
to- them to believe during the hottest
part OF the day there was not something
wrong with it. The heat was severely
felt curing the forenoon and up 10
nearly night, when the thunderstOrms
That passed west and north of the city re-
duced the humidity and produced ascool
breeze which brought relief. The night
was comfortable, and in the evening peo-
pie forgot the discOmfOrts of the middle
of the day.
Savannah was by no means the hottest
place in the country Millen, with its
usual prestige, held the record for the
hottest place in the state. IL reported 90.
Americas and Gainesville. Fla, reported
"a degrees. Savannah is next. There
was no place in the district, except Quit
man and Fort Gaines, that. the mercury
was above 90 Besides Georgia, there
were some pretty hot places scat
tered over the country. Norfolk,

each reported 90 Jacksonville, Fla,

ported 92'. Charleston, S. c., Phila-
delphia, New Orleans and Cincinnati re-
ported 909
b There is one consolation for Savan-
nahians, and that is cold wave which
has made its appearance in the northwest
and IS moving in this direction. Observer
Smyth says it will begin to be felt here
Tomorrow night or Wednesday morning.
The indications for to-day are continued
high temperature, with rains and thun-

eEoRe1A's SUPREME COURT.

Facts Showing the Tremendous In
crease in the Sources of Litigation.
The facts going to show that there is a
necessity for the increase in the number
of Georgia supreme court judges from
three to five are gradually being brought
out, and as the people are gradually get
ting more insight into the situation. the
opinion is expressed that the chances are
decidedly in favor of the people voting at
the next election for the passage of the
amendment to the constitution which
provides for that change
The two great causes or sources of liti-
CATION are population and prosperity. In
1876 there were 457 $50 white people in
Georgia, while the present population all
OF whom are entitled to litigate is about
2,OOO,OOO Then there were ninety-three
counties and as many superior courts now
there are l37 superior courts and seven
teen city courts, from all
OF which cases are carried di-
rect to the supreme court In 1855 the
slaves, was S2ll ,58S. 322, while in 1898 it
was s412, ga, 907, an Increase of 81 per
cent. fact which involves Just that
much more litigation. In 1913 there were
only five railroad corporations in Georgia
with COS miles of railroad to operate.
Now there are fifty railroad corporations
with 5,225 miles to operate. The large in
crease in litigation from this source be-
comes at once apparent. In spite of these
facts, however, the number of supreme
court Judges is still kept at three, less
than are found in any other southern
state Of the same population and CONNER
cial Importance. The people who are to
vote upon the amendment, will do well to
ponder upon these facts before deciding
TO cast an adverse vote

THE KNIGHTS NEW RULES.
The Supreme Lodge Will Not Reoog
nize the Pythian Sisters.

nize the Pythian Sisters.
Capt. John Juchter, Of Teutonia divis-
ion Of the knights Of Pythias, has just
received from the secretary of the
supreme lodge of that order, copies of the
reports and proceedings of that body.
The most important subject matters
which have been before the supreme
lodge have been published in the MORN
ING NEWS. The report of the committee
on the question of the German ritual was
an exhaustive one, and gave both views
OF the case. The minority report was a
strong one, but the supreme lodge
reached the conclusion that all purposes
were best served by using only the
English ritual
Another feature of the work about
which little has been said is the adoption
of resolution declaring ineligible to
membership all saloon keepers, bartend-
ers and professional gamblers This is
not to be construed, however, as affecting
members of the order engaged in the
traffic at the time Of the passage OF this
re solution ..
The question of the Pythian Sisters
was decided on the lines of the meeting
at Kansas City in 1899, when the supreme
lodge refused absolutely to recognize any
female auxiliary Of the knights of Pyth-
las. This action was deeply resented by
the Pythian Sisters at the time, and
since then almost unceasing effort has
been made to have the Kansas City de-
cision reconsidered
The Pythian Sisters and their support
ers have offered number of compromise
measures looking to the removal of the
ban by the supreme lodge, but all such
oilers were rejected, and it was decided
by an overpowering viva voce vote that no
female adjunct to the order of the Knights
of Pythias should be recognized by the
supreme lodge in any way This not only
cuts out the Pythian Sisters, but any
other like organization that might be
formed in the future.
