Island All Their Own.

When moral suasion fails, the Saliva
ton army in New Zealand proposes to
save inebriates from their worst
enemy by sending them to a newly
completed resort with the appro-
pirate name of "Drunkards' island"
Pakatoa is the chart name OF
Drunkards' Island" 1t is an ideal
little colony of seventy acres. set In
the Huraki Gulf, twenty-five miles
from Auckland. The only communi-
cation with the mainland is by the
Salvation army motor boat. and the
residents have no means of reaching a
public house. All spirits and alcohol
in any form are forbidden on Pakatos,
and the colonists lead the simple life
on a fruit diet, without drugs or po-
licemen. The New Zealand govern
ment recently passed an act giving
magistrates power to commit persons
who have been four times convicted
of drunkenness to Pakatoa. The resi-
dents work at market gardening, fruit
culture, frame making and the manu-
facture of children's toys.

Hawk That Wouldn't Be Trapped.

An interesting hawk story comes
from Concord township. Recently N.
". Kearns, farmer, set a steel trap
|. in his chicken lot to catch some sly
ianimal that had been robbing him of
chickens.
The day after it was set an investi-
cation showed that the trap had been
carried away. Nearly a week passed
before he heard a great commotion
among his chickens, and going out he
saw hawk soaring upward with a
chicken in his beak and another in
one of his claws, and from the other
claw was dangling the steel trap that
had been carried away a few days be-
fore.-AshboYo Courier.

BulIfrog Fashion.
some description, for everybody had
a smile.
When Hunt joined the rapidly swell
ing ranks to investigate he saw
man on his hands and knees eating
grass with seeming relish. The unfor
tunate would leap in bullfrog fash
ion from one bunch of clover grass to
another, chew a cud and swallow it.
He tackled a couple of shrubs rather
ravenously and seemed oblivious to
the surrounding and laughing crowd.
Hunt climbed over the wall and
grabbed the grass eater, who became
offended and sought to escape. He
fought for few minutes, when hc
suddenly became pacified. Then he
dropped to his knees again and insist
ed on eating more grass.
When the prisoner saw water he
became unmanageable and frantic.
His peculiar behavior led to the be-
lief that he had hydrophobia, al
though he made no attempt at biting
the policeman. The only other evil
dence of hydpophobia was his propen-
sity to growl like dog.
After being attended by an ambu-
lance surgeon the man was taken to
Bellevue. He became very wild and
excited there. He was placed in the
alcoholic ward, but he is not sup
posed to be affected by intoxicants.
His violense increased to such an ex-
straining apparatus.
After he had been quoted some he
was questioned as to his identity. He
muttered William Brennan" That
is supposed to be his name. He
stared in blank amazement when
asked for his address.

CONVENTION IN DENVER, COLO.
WILL BE THE SCENE OF
THE BATTLE.
Results of the Denver Convention May
Be the Means of Reopenine Con-
gressional Action on the National
Pure Food Laws-Or. Wiley An
nounces That He Will Attend.

Washington. Aug. 6.-Something of
ttutter among the food experts has
been created by the plans for the
Forthcoming convention at Denver, on
August "a, of the Association of State
and National Dairy and Food De-
Dartments.
1t IS not unlikely that the occasion
will be enliyened by a struggle be-
tween Dr. Harvey w. Wiley and 9TH
ers in the official circle who do not
agree with his conclusions in regard
to the alleged deleterious effects of
certain chemical preservatiyes when
used in foods.
Secretary Wilson has promised to
be present at the convention. In ad
dition to the federal officers. who are
charged with the responsibility of
administering the food law. reprasen-
tatives of nearly every state and
territory will be on the convention
floor as delegates.
DR.. Wiley and his friends have
been very active in stirring UP the
state associations to make a show of
opposition against the action of the
federal government in adopting the
unanimous report of the Remsen
board of scientific experts appointed
by President Roosevelt, which found
that DR.. Wiley's conclusions regard
ing the use of benzoate of soda were
not well founded DR.. Wiley has stood
practically alone in his fight against
the preservatives. His declaration
that its use should be prohibited was
not sustained by his associates on
the board of food and drugs inspec-
ton in the agricultural department
Two OF the members of the board de-
clined to acquiesce in DR.. Wlley's re-
port that benzoate of soda IS dele
terious when used in the Quantities in
which 1t is now employed by food
manufacturers under the permission
OF the federal government.
Dr. Wiley threatened to resign as
chef chemist, but his friends urged
him to continue in office. His back
ers outside of the department lmme-
diately started propaganda in SUP
port of DR.. Wiley's views. They es-
tablished publicity bureau in Wash
lngton, and have since been making
onslaushts on the report Of the Rem
sen board and giving out eulogles on
Dr. Wiley.

TWO CARS WILL LEAVE THE CITY
THIS MORNING TO MAKE
THE TRIP.
Same Route as Covered by oliver in
His Ford Machine Will Be Followed
by Local Parties-They Leave at
73o This Morning and Expect to
Be in Savannah by O'clock.

The first Brunswick automobiles tC
make the trip between Brunswick and
Savannah, will leave the city this
morning about 730 o'clock. The two
machines are the 1S-horse power
Bulchs, owned by ] Hunter Hopkins
and L. R. Akin. IN one machine will
be Mr.. Hopkins. and Alfred Wood,
and in the other Lawrence Akin and
Alfred Wood.
The trip will be made over prac-
tically the same route trayersed by
w. c. Oliver, of Jacksonville. who
made the trip a few weeks ago, going
from Brunswick to Dents plantation,
where a lighter will be in waiting to
transport the two machines over to
Darien. The autoists hope to leave
their expectations to arrive in Sa-
vannah by 8 o'clock this afternoon.
If no trouble is experienced in bad
roads the trip can easily be made
in this length of time. Mr.. Oliver,
on his return trip, reported only one
bad place between Savannah and Da-
rien, and that was bog in Bryan
county. However, the local autoists
expect to get through this place with
out any great difficulty.
This new auto route between Sa-
vannah and Brunswick promises to
become very popular with automobile
parties, even before the trestle across
the Altamaha is built, as Darien par
ties have stated that they can al
ways have lighter in readiness eth
er at Darien or Dents if notified a
day previous. The distance be-
tween Brunswick and Savannah over
this route is only about seventy five
miles and can be made in seven or
eight hours.
The local party will spend today in
Savannah, returning to the city over
the same route tomorrow afternoon.
