THE GRADY HOSPITAL.
DR.. visanska Stirs Up the Animals.
Atlanta Constitution.

The charges OF DR.. Visanska against the
MANAGEMENT Of the Grady hospital will be
brought up at the next meeting OF the city
council Monday afternoon.
Chairman Roy, OF the hospital committee
Of the council, telephoned DR.. Visanska at
noon yesterday TO make written statement
OF his charges TO be presented In regular form
TO the solons. This means that the council
will take up the matter, and that an 1nVest1-
ga tion, similar to the one conducted by the
hospital committee Monday afternoon, will
follow.
DR.. Visanska says he will not be present
Monday afternoon. The council will. no
doubt, refer the matter either TO the hospital
committee or TO the board Of trustees OF the
Institution, or to joint committee consist
ing OF delegation from the trustees and the
hospital committee.
DR.. Visanska is not moving In the matter at
present of his own accord. He says he was
requested to present his charges 10 the coun.
ell by DR.. Roy. Considerable feeling has
been aroused by Monday afternoon's commit
tee meeting, and there will undoubtedly be
some lively developments before the matter
is finally settled.
Dr. Visanska handed The Constitution the
following statement last night:
"In the afternoon paper noticed the state
nent that pulled a very ugly looking knife
on Mr.. HirRch, and wish to correct this
statement. The knife Is q small three-bladed
pocket knife. The longest:blade is not over
two inches long"
would imagine / went prepared with a
dagger. They also state that my patient Is
ill-too Ill to leave his room. This is also
incorrect. The patient has entirely recover
ed, but as precaution desire him to remain
quiet for few days."

Would You Live n Century ?

In a recent lecture delivered in Blrming.
ham Sir Jas. Sawyer gives O few rules to fol.
low II one would live to be u centenaran.
They are not hard to keep, and, In the Inter
ests OF those who do not tire OF this world q
pleasure or pains, we subjoin the list:
l. Sleep eight hours day.
2. Sleep on the right side.
3. Open the windows of ones bed room at
night.
i. Put O serene in front of the door.
5. Place ones bed away from the wall.
4. Take bath the temperature oflhe body
every morning, not cold douche.
7. Take exercise before break fast.
8. Eat little meat and make sure II is thor
oughly cooked.
|. 8. (For adults) Do not drink milk.
H. Eat much grain In order to nourish the
ce lis which destroy the germs ofdisease.
H. Avoid intoXlcants, which destroy these
cells.
12. Take daily exercise in the open air.
l3. Keep no animals In living rooms.
They may have the germs of disease.
If. Live as much az possible In the country.
10. Drink water. avoid humidity and the
l6. Vary ones occupations.
II. Take from time to time short holiday.
49, Limit ones ambitions.
49, Restrain ones natural character.
We have no Idea that a strict following OF
these regulations would enable one u pass
the century mark. but the observer would be
better and athier by reason OF living alon:
these lines. The rules are filled with COM
mon sense. and there IL an absence OF ladlsfn
which makes them all the more commend
able. Try them on, and when the lOO years
are up give us written certificate as TO now
you are getting along.-Clnclnnatl Tribune

GOOD LUCK FOR ABBEVILLE
One of the Finest Music Teachers In
the State to Spend the Winter in
Onr CftV.


Miss Kirby, a recent and highly dis
tinguised graduate Of Converse College, hat
decided, much to the delight OF her friends, tc
remain In Abbeville the coming year:
Miss Kirby has had unusual opportunities
and, as her excellent skill In the use OF the
plano and pipe organ show, she has used
them In the best possible way. We deem II
then, great privilege to have offered our
musical public a course OF training no where
to be obtained, save within conservatory
walls.
We hope our people will avail themselves
children under q teacher who will make
skilled performers OF them, and prepare them
to take high stand In any musical college OF
conservatory Of their choice.
Much might be said concerning the merit
of Miss Kirby-as a musician, as musical
director. as music teacher-but 1t suff1ceth
us 10 say, that such advantages have never
been had In 30 small a city, and our people
had better realize the fact before 1t IL too late

Furthermore, the American manufac-
turers can deliver the engines sooner
than their English rivals can. This sue

reason to be alarmed. Steel is cheaper
