1850, 600 GERMS ON A BERRY
And on Very Small Part of 1t, at
That. Counted .O6 of an Inch
and Then Quit Tired.

PARASITIC danger of fruit
bought from barrows and eaten raw
has been demonstrated by the expert
ments of two French scientists, DR..
Filassier and M. Sartory. They have
discovered millions of dangerous mi
crobes on the skin of Strawberries,
gooseberries and grapes.
Strawberries were bought by the
scientists from barrow at four
O'Clock in the afternoon in a narrow
street
They were washed in water, which
disclosed 1,S50,000 microbes in each
.06 of a cubic inch.
The fruit was washed again in
sterilized water, and the number of
microbes fell to $4,000 per .O6 of a
cubic inch of water.
A third washing brought the num-
Der down to $4,000.
A sample of gOoseDerrtes. also
bought from a barrow, gave the fol-
lowing results:
second washing. -. Al, 900 microbes
Ihlrd washing. &c.,. $500 microbes
Better results were shown in the
experiments with some gooseberries
bought in a gOOd-class shop.
The first washing only produced
$4,000 per .06 of a cubic inch of
water, and the second $4,000.
Grapes were bought at a shop in
a street through which motor cars
continually pass. The results of the
examination were startling, for at
the first washing the microbes in each
! 20 of cubic inch numbered 1850
600. At the second washing the
mum fell to 10000, and at the third
it was $1,000.
The doctors suggest that in the
majority of cases a piece of muslin
thrown over fruit or over yegeta-
bles exposed for sale would be enough
to prevent the greater part of the
microbes communicating the food.
1t is suggested that as a matter
OF safety all fruit should be washed
before being eaten.

SENATE REALLY DOES A LITTLE.
Some of Ex-Candidate Ex-senator
PerrY's Bills Tabled

Atlanta, Ga.-After a vain effort
to adjourn, which was squeTched in
the bud, largely through the demand
for an aye and nay vote, the senate
got down to work today and put in
some real legislative strokes.
A number of bills introduced by
Senator Perry last year were tabled,
the senator not being present to de-
fend them, having resigned to run
for governor. Among those tabled
were: A bill to create a lien on
autos in favor of any person whose
stock or property should be dam
aged because of the auto; a bill to
require lobbyists to register their
names and names of corporations
they represent. A bill calling for
constitutional amendment authoriz-
ing inheritance and income tax was
tabled, but later recommitted TO the
committee on constitutional amend
.ments. The pension bill of Mr.. Sell
lers was made the special order for
tomorrow.

SAT WITHOUT MOVING 10 DAYS
Then Died Suddenly While Nurse
Held Broken Neck.

Sitting in absolutely one position
for 10 days with his head held in
place by a nurse, knowing his life
was jeopardized if he moved the
fraction of an inch, Edward Pease,
suffering with a fracture of the skull
where it joins the vertrebrae, died
instantly at Richmond, Va. 1t was
some time before the attendant no.
ticed the rigidity of the body.
Pease's case was considered very
unusual by physicians, and his re-
covery would have been a distinct
victory for the medical men. From
the time he was carried into the hos
pital, on June 5th, struck by brick
thrown by negro, every precaution
had been taken to keep him from
rolling over and dying instantly. He
never recovered full consciousness,
sitting in a sort of stupor During
the long vigil surgeons and physi-
clans watched and studied the case
closely.

FREEDOM OF FIDO ASSURED.
Legislators Are Busy With Measures
to Repeal Dog Law.

10 hCpSdl DOS LAW
If the unanimity with which mem
bers of the general assembly are in
troduciGg bills to repeal the dog tax
means anything it would look as if
the one dollar a head on dogs would
not be collected after this year.
1t is doubtful if much of it is col
lected this year with the law in force
Dog owners are few and far between
at the tax receivers office.
1t would appear from the bills that
have been introduced in the house
and senate that there is a demand in
some sections of the state at least
for a repeal of the dog tax.
Here are a few members who have
introduced bills to repeal the dog
tax: Baker of Lumpkin, Hullender
of CatoOsa, Adams of Hall, Drawdy of
Clinch, Upshaw of Douglas. Faircloth
of Johnson, Edwards of Walton, and
Senator Day of the Fifty-frst.
From the residences of these rep
resentatives and senators it will be
apparent that this demand is no
localized affair. 1t comes from north
south, east and west Georgia, with
middle Georgia also in the running.

PROFIT ON OUR COINAGE.
Government Gained $1,000, 900 Last
Year on 1 and Scent Pieces.

Government Gained $1,OOO,OOO Last
Year on 1 and Scent Pieces.
The everyday bronze one-cent
piece, made of 95 parts copper and
five parts of zinc or tin and zinc,
costs the government about one
tenth of a cent Uncle Sans total
profit in the one-cent and five-cent
pieces coined last year was more than
$1,000, 200, says the Baltimore Amer
lean.
The treasury department coins
just enough one-cent pieces to meet
the demands of trade. These de-
mands of late years have been ex-
traordinary. One reason for the in
creased demand is the introduction
of pennies" in the Pacific coast
cities, where for so long they were
an object of contempt and another
reason is the prevalence of penny-in-
the-slOt machines. These mechani-
cal devices keep a great many one
cent pieces out of circulation, and
so increase the demand upon the
treasury for new ones.
Various minor coins have from
time to time been issued The cop
per haIf-cent piece was current from
1898 to 1857, although only a small
number were coined. The two-cent
pieces authorized in 1854 were
coined until 1873. and may still be
seen occasionally in circulation. The
coinage of the silver three-cent piece
was discontinued in 1873, and the
nickel three-cent piece in 1890.

Holloway encouraged the dog, which
seemed to have some difficulty. and
hnally it landed with a four-pound
carp on the hook.

Senate Votes Against Repeal.

By an adverse vote of 20 nays to
II ayes the senate has declined to
repeal the tax of 81 per year on dogs
enacted at the last session. The re-
peal bill was offered by Senator Day.
The ayes and nays were called for.

opens the tunnels and spears the
pilferer with his barbed tongue. No
other bird can catch boreTs as the
woOdpecker does.
There are eight species and IS
sub-species of woodpeckers in Wash
ington. Not many persons know the
cOmmoner kinds of these. The
downy woodpecker is the friend of
the orchardist. He scouts the fruit
trees and lives on the grubs larvae
and injurious insects that would soon
ruin the apple, peach, cherry and
pear tree.
American in His Ways.
"The woodpecker ought to be the
emblem of the northwest if not of
the state, because he is decidedly
American in his ways. The eagle has
nothing but size to recommend him.
1t is true he scars aloft, but only
that he may swoop down upon some
innocent fowl, fawn, dog, cat, lamb,
colt, or even a child. Instead of de-
stroying insects that would other
wise prevent the growth of vegeta-
ton he devours the harmless dove
or fish which would make food for
human beings. The eagle is cow
ard, too, afraid of a bird of much
lesser size. Many of us have seen
an eagle turn tail from a tiny king
bird.
The woodpecker is found all over
the United States, while the eagle
roams in isolated sections of the
mountainous country along the At
lantic, Pacific, the Great Lakes, the
Gulf and some of the larger streams.
But the woodpecker is busy eating
injurious insects from Maine to Tex
as, and from Florida to Washington.
and IN many sections of the country
remains the entire year doing his
best that vegetation may be free
from many enemies. Let the wood
pecker be respected the nation Ger"

Busy With the Dawn.

THE .woodpecker, busy at work
when the sun peeps above the hills,
is always persevering, searches care
fully, sounds from the ground to the
top and deals out punishment un-
sparingly. With the most perfect
climbing apparatus ever invented he
gets over every part of the tree.
With the quickest of eyes, the quick
est Of tongues, he destroyes hundreds
of eggs tucked away in the crevices
of the bark. Any one of these clus-
ters of eggs would be enough to de-
foliate an entire branch. Bugs or
ants, beetles or flies, all fall beneath
the guardian of the forest.

WOODPECKER TO ROUT EAGLE
WANT THE LITTLE KNOCKER
FOR A STATE EMBLEM.
Saves the Forests, While Big Soaring
Bird Is Denounced For Useless
ness in Contest Now On.

SEATTLE, Wash.-A spirited con-
test is on over the entire northwest
regarding the substitution of the
downy woodpecker for the bald
eagle as the emblem of the state of
Washington. A new state seal is to
be cast soon, and an argument was
started to replace the eagle by the
woodpecker, in view of the many
really meritorious claims in favor of
the woOdpecker as against those dis
claiming any merit for the eagle.
Before such a substitution could be
made, however, the matter would
have to be put to a popular election.
Some of the claims for the wood
pecker are very interesting, and, if
true, would go to show that the
noisy little knocker does much good
work for the forests, hedges and
orchards of the state, and is abso-
lutely necessary in the northwest as
we'll as in other parts of the United
States. With no woOdpeckers, writes
one man, the trees in Washington
would die in two years.
Insects Thrive Upon Trees.
From other letters received from
friends of the woOdpecker the fol-
lowing composite letter is written:
HOrdes of insects thrive upon and
within all trees. Borers, protected
from every enemy save one, work
the year around, digging tunnels
often just beneath the bark of the
trees, where they can do the most
harm.
Il have found upwards of sixty
bOrers in one dead tree. Borers have
been known to riddle a locust tree
Later ants use these tunnels, and in
a few seasons they honeycomb the
trunk of the tree. They work fast,
and increase at a tremendous rate.
1T is the ,woodpecker that saves
our forests. He began his work thou
sands of years ago, and he is on the
job yet. No man could ward off the
perils he keeps in check, for he uses
the best of methods; the same, in
fact, as when he was caretaker of
the primeval forests.
