WHY ROADS
WERE GOOD

ARA r. Fancher is not accused of
being a scorcher or Joy rider, but on
Tuesday he made the ten miles from
Blue Earth to Winnebago, with five in
the auto, in 27 minutes. On the return
home the 20 miles from Blue Earth here
was made in one hour and fifteen min
utes, by Iampllght, and some of the
way the roads were very bad.
The best roads found on the IS miles
travelled that day were between Blue
Earth. and Winnebago, and we wish
every one in Martin county interested
in good roads, would travel over this
stretch of ten miles and-carefully note
the four principal reasons why much

Though large trees hang over the
road much of the way, good drainage
and the split log drag keep the surface

The road in question had apparently
never been grayeled. One or two good

A successful dairyman feeds his
COWS this excellent balanced ration:
Clover hay and corn fodder, all the
COWS will eat up clean, for rOughage;
for grain, peas and oats, ground fine,
and bran in equal parts by weight,
and feed one pound of grain to three
or four pounds Of milk, with 16
pounds of sugar beets day.

interesting article on Domestic Science
in Schools and Colleges by Helen Sage
Gray. The following extract will show
the trend of thought today:
"The appearance of the members of
the family is good indication of the
kind of housekeeping they are accus-
toned to. They may be proof against
Encouragement for time and look
rosy, but eventually they succumb.
Bilious eyes, consultations of pimples,
compilations like dough or dried ap-
piles, and the external symptoms of .
hundred and one other ills are con-
! spicuous evidences of the wife's incom-
potency, and cry out, "Behold her
handiwork. -
"Most illnesses come from improper
food. A great deal of sickness, ina
family usually means inefficient house.
keeping Yet the wife never blames
herself for the sickness or death of
members of the family, but ascribes
the untimely ending of their lives to
an inscrutable visitation OF Providence.
Strenuous exertions are made and no
expense spared for nursing, medicine
and doctors to save the lifeo a mem.
ber of the family who is Ill; but the
prevention of sickness through the
study of housekeeping is disregarded.

efficacy of medicine. If the schools

as important for young people to know

"It if said that the American race is
deteriorating physically. This asser:-
tion seems to be borne out by ones
own observation. How few people one
sees who are perfectly WE'LL. how many
who have some ailment or other! And
it is not to be wondered at that this
latter class is so large when one sees
the family dietary. Statisticians say
that one-third of all the children in
America die before they are year
old, and that the average age at which
men die is thirty-fve years. A quota
tion from Shakespeare, which is very
appropriately printed on the title,page
of a recent cook book tells us the rea-
son: "Men die because they know not
how to live With improved house
keeping, sickness will be decreased in
direct proportion to the increase
of intelligence and vigor, and
longevity added to life. People are
beginning to realize that sickness is
unnecessary and might be avoided by
:hygienic living. ~

both sons and daughters, it would be
better to educate the daughters, be-
cause as mothers they have so much
more influence over the lives of their
children than fathers do. . =.

Mrs Burton is the wife of a wealthy
Indianapolis manufacturer. who is spend
ing the winter in Macon. She arrived at
Greensboro yesterday in the same coach
with Mr.. Bell, sat with his family
to congratulate him when the judge gave
the order.
w. ID. Mcneil, a prominent young law
yer in Macon, was interested in the case
and made a strong fight which won Bells
freedom.
Bell was termed "paranoic" and de-
clared to be suffering from delusional in
sanity by Superintendent Jones, of the
state sanitarium, and Drs. Green and
Little, attending physicians.
In a statement made on the witness
stand yesterday, Bell declared he prayed
to die while confined in the asylum. He
says he was associated with gfbberfng
idiots. He says such association makes
one doubt If the things he says can really
be and are not the imaginings of an in
sane mind and if he has been sane for the
last three years how he has managed to
remain so.

He concluded his statement by declar

could never feel the same toward "Dr.

there to live. II want to add he said,

Injections of Poisons
He began his statement with April,
prior to his commitment in May 1906.
and declared that he drank no whisky
in that month except that given by his
wife through the doctors orders. and
that he saw no Necessary for the forci-
BILE injection of the poisons which DR..
Green Bell gave him and which he pro-
tested so givorously. He then told OF
his first trip to DR.. Allen and his re-
turn to Swainsboro, where he said his
business had been confiscated. and de-
spite the fact that he belonged to four
secret orders. he was bereft of friends.
The petition was read at the habeas
corpus hearing in Greensboro Thursday
afternoon by Attorney McNeal, of Ma
con. alleging that George H.
Bell was committed to the asy-
lum without due process of law, that
without any sort of trial. He alleged that
his commitment was the result of a con-
spiracy, that he had been greatly abused
while in the asylum and that repeated eff
forts had been made by himself to have
an opportunity to be heard and fair
trial before the courts; that his father
had injected morphine and other poisons
tinued It would result in his death;
therefore he resisted further treatment
along this line from his father; that his
father then swore out a writ Of lunacy
and jury was summoned to pass on the
question of his sanity but that the jury
said that they had seen him and were
satisfied that he was insane without
hearing evidence. This was not denied by
respondents in their answer read by At
torney ]. z. Pottle.
His father, DR.. Greene Bell, testified
that he did inject morphine and other
medicine into his body, thinking that II
was for his physical benefit to do So
and not with any desire to harm him in
any way. That he swore out a writ of
lunacy thinking at the time he was
crazy.
One of the physicians of the asylum
swore that he thought petitioners trouble
was caused from chronic alcoholism.

GEORGE BELL GETS
OUT OF ASYLUM

MACON, Ga, Feb. 26-At a hearing
held before Judge Hal Lewis at Green's
boro yesterday Afternoon the stigma of a
charge of lunacy was removed from the
head of George H. Bell, the former rep
resentative from Swainsboro, Emanuel
county. Today Bell is with his father,
mother, wife and sisters at his old home.
There is general rejoicing at his home
today.
In thirty days Bell will receive from
the officials of the state asylum at Mil
ledgeville papers to show. an. honorable
discharge from that institution, unless
lunacy proceedings are taken out against
him in the meantime. 1t is not believed
that such a step will be taken, however,
as the officials while returning on a train
to Milledgeville yesterday, stated that
they had no desire to press the case.
Contentious of Attorney
In the court room at Greensboro yes
terday it was pointed out by Colonel Nc
Neil how illegal proceedings had been
employed at the outset to keep Bell in the
asylum. Through the endeavors of DR..
Green Bell, the father of the former rep
lresentative, George Bell was sent to the
state private sanitarium of DR.. Allen at
Nilledgeville three years ago. 1t was
while he was incarcerated there that the
lunacy hearing was held in Swainsboro,
and the young man adjudged fit subject
for the state asylum. Such a proceeding
was illegal and furnished a foundation
for the fight to secure his release.
| When George Bell went back to his
| home yesterday after an absence of
three years, he was accompanied by his
| father, his mother and his two sisters.
| The release of Bell was in a large meas
ure due to the efforts of Mrs. Blanch

| friended while connected with the same

prove monotony, but an excess OF
ornamentation is to be decried. since
the main object and purpose of this
