BAKER MURDER YET UNsoLvED.
The Two Clues That the Police Have
Been Following.

/ There have been no new develop
ments in the murder of Samuel r.
Baker in Colonial Park a week ago,
and it is not probable now that any
arrests for the crime will ever be made.
Like all homicides the killing ceased
to be talked of in a few days, and
nothing has been done in the way of
a reward fol the arrest of the mur-
derers.
Last Monday the police were told OF
a negro who claimed that he saw three
white men assault Mr.. Baker as he
was returning home. The officers say
that they followed this clue, but with
out satisfactory results. They have
also been working on another theory
with just as little success.
A negro was held up and robbed by
two members of his race at the same
spot in Colonial Park only a short
while before Mr.. Baker was assaulted
He was relieved of 81 or SO and his
coat and shirt were torn off, The
clothing made up the bundle found the
same night under physicians stoop
on Oglethorpe avenue, mention of
which was made in the Morning News.
The negro told his story of having
been robbed without knowing anything
of the killing of the white man.
He had been arrested on Condor
street for drunkenness and told of
having been held up in Colonial aPrk
when arraigned before the Recorder in
Police Court. The negro had been
seen to stagger out of the park at
a late hour Saturday night by a citi-
zen, and this fact was reported to the
police, after the murder became public.
was thought that he may have had
something to do with the assault, and
was traced down Abercorn street to
Gordon. where he was arrested. His
story of robbery, which was corrobor-
ated by his appearance, made it likely
that the the men who robbed him as
saulted Mr.. Baker. This, with the
fact that another negro alleged having
seen three men commit the deed, made
it necessary for the officers to work on
two separate and distinct clues, neither
of which has as yet availed them any,

The Mayor holds that to extend the
limits now would mean that there
could certainly be no decrease in the
city tax rate. 'If the limits should be
extended now" he said, ''it would
mean that heavier expenditures would
have to be made for the establishment
of lighting facilities and the afford
ing OF water connections In the out
lying sections" If there should be no
extension, it is possible that the tax
rate this year may be reduced for next
year."

Garments Wednesday,.

Garments Wednesday,.
The Needle Work Guild will make its
annual distribution of garments We'd
nesday. The society was inaugurated
in 1885 in Philadelphia and modelled af-
ter the society in England. From this
has sprung various other branches.
Speaking of this society, one of it's Of
ficers says: There is hardly city or
town where such an organization would
not be a power for good. 1t does not
take the place of any other work; it is
intended to stimulate others and sys-
tematize them.
'Invalids, children, women and men
can all lend their aid in. the giving of
two new garments a year. Think of
the aid to tired mothers, the helps TO
hospitals and comfort to those too
proud to ask for the wherewithal to
keep off the chills of winter.
"The distribution generally takes
place in the neighborhood of Thanks
giving Day, at which time additional
thanks may be returned for the kindly
acts Of the many who have lent their
aid to this noble charity
Two new garments will be gladly re-
ceived at st. Johns Parish Hall on
Monday and on Tuesday morning. The
annual distribution will take place on
Wednesday, at IL o'clock.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating stomach Trouble and
Indigestion, n Barbarous
and Useless One.

We say the old way but really 1t is

physicians as well, consider the first
step in attempting to cure indigestion
is to diet, either by selecting certain
food and rejecting others or to greatly

In other words the starvation plan,
is by many, supposed to be the first
essential in the cure of weak digestion.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for stomach trouble has
been proven time and again but still
the usual advice, when dyspepsia
makes an appearance, is of course of
dieting.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscie1tific to recommend
dieting or starvation to a person suf-
fering from dyspepsia because indi-
gestion itself starves every organ and
every nerve and fibre in the body.
What is needed is abundant nutri-
tion, not less, and this means plenty
OF good. wholesome, well-cooked food
and some natural digestive to assist
