FIGHT TO CLOSE COPPER MINES.
Resolution Pending in House Calls On
Attorney General to Act.

Attorney General to Act.
Atlanta, Ga.-There will be precipi-
lated in the house this week a fight
over the pending resolution which
calls upon the attorney general to
secure from the United States SUI
preme court a decree absolutely clos
ing down the Ducktown Copper Mines
across the Georgia line in Tennessee.
For years these poisonous fumes
have been destroying vegetation for
miles around in North Georgia. The
state of Georgia brought suit in the
supreme court restraining the opera
tors of these mines from continuing
these plants to the detriment of Ge0r-
gia vegetation. The decree was gran
ted and 1t was left to the discretion
Of the attorney general OF Georgia as
to when he should ask that 1t be
made permanent.
This industry is Of pertinent inter-
est to Georgia and to the south, by
reason of the fact that at this place
the greatest amount of sulphuric acid
manufactured In the world is procur-
ed, which, when mixed with phos-
plate rock, makes phosphoric acid,
one Of the prime ingredients in the
most universal commercial fertilizers
used In the south This fertilizer is
composed Of phosphoric acid, nitro
gen and potash. The source of the
nitrogen in this mixture is derived
from cotton seed meal. There are
hundreds of small fertilizer plants
throughout the state and the south
where cotton seed meal and phos-
phate rock are had, and it is neces-
sary to secure this sulphuric acid to
make phosphoric acid, so necessary
to transform it into "a commercial fer
tilizer. Reports show that this cot
ton seed meal fertilizer is more gen.
orally used than any other brand, and
any action to the curtailment of this
mixture will be watched with univer-
sal interest

number OF amendments were intro

made on various amendments, but
two of which were adopted daring

by Mr. Blackburn of Fulton, and it
permits the trial Judge in misde-
meanor cases to sentence the con-
victed person, in his discretion, to the
state farm
The other amendment adopted was
by Mr.. Smith of Campbell, and pro-
yided that under no circumstances
should the secretary of the prison
commission receive a salary of more
than ST. 1900 per annum. The discus
sion Of the bill was still in progress

A FAT BABY

Usually Evidence of Proper Feeding.
Babies grow very rapidly, and if
they do not get the right kind of food
they grow backwards instead of for
wards; that is, when their food is not
lnourishing they grow thin and cross
and some of them die from the lack of
the right kind of food. A girl writes:
My aunt's baby was very delicate
and was always ill. She was not able
to nurse it and took it to one doctor
after another, but none of them did
the child any good.
One day my mother told my aunt
| to try GrapeNuts for the baby, but she
| laughed and said if the doctors couldn't
do the baby any good. how could Grape
Nuts? But mother said try it anyway
so my aunt put one tablespoonful
of Grape Nuts in quarter cup of hot
water and when the food was soft she
added as much milk and water and
gave that to the baby.
"In a month and half you would
hardly have known that baby, it was
so fat and thrived so fast A neighbol
asked my aunt what made the baby sc
healthy and fat when only six weeks
before it was so thin. She said Grape
Nuts The neighbor got Grape-Nuts
for her baby and it was soon as fat
as my aunt's child"
