good naturally. Their companionship
was not strained; 1t suffered no spas

most exemplary good fellowship pre-

Baldwin & Co. Are Recommending
Caskets of Lead-Coated Steel.
The trimmings on a coffin have
nothing to do with it's durability.
Any kind covered with cloth and
trimmed inside with satin or silk
will present beautiful appearance,
and will go to pieces in the grave
just as quick as if there were no
beautiful Ornamentation.
AS. a coffin is worse than useless
if it is not durable it is more i'm
portant to inquire about the mate
rial inside than to examine its shape
and covering.
Collins made of wood are entirely
worthless, as they soon go to pieces,
yet they look as beautiful before
they are buried as any other casket.
A. J. Baldwin & Co. are recon-
mending caskets made from Lead
Coated-Steel by a process that makes
them practically from a single piece
of metal, having the enormous
strength of 80 tons to the square
inch. In some respects they are
even more beautiful than wood cof-
fms. They are also covered with
cloth and present a soft, pleasing
appearance, without a suggestion of
the heavy steel underneath. They
are guaranteed practically indestruct-
ible, and will at least last many
years longer than the body will need
protection from the enemies in the
ground.

STRAW KILLS TONS OF FISH
Indiana Health Expert Believes He
Has Solved Puzzle Where Fac
tory Refuse Is Dumped.

MUNCIE, Ind.-A complete in
vestigation of the slaughter of fish
in the Mississinewa river, when tons
of fish were found dead in the
stream, is being conducted in Della
ware and Grant counties by State
Fish Commissioner Miles.
The secretary of the state board of
health, DR.. J. n. Hurry, has advanced
a new reason for the death of fish
in streams that are used by straw
board companies. He says that in
his opinion there is no poison in the
refuse emptied into the water from
strawboard and paper mills that is
destructive to animal life, as has al
ways been supposed, but that the
fish are killed by minute PARTICLES
of straw, from this refuse. entering
their gills and shutting off their sup
ply of oxygen.
The strawboard companies say, as
indicative of the purity of the water
in the streams below their mills, that
cattle on farms will leave the pure
water of the streams to drink that
which is slightly cOlored with the
refuse from the strawbOard mills,
and the companies further say that
milk and butter from COWS drinking
the adulterated water is purer and
sweeter than any other.

Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes

When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood, This
brings on many diseases and symp-

nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-

PRAISE FOR MIR. PICKETT.
Says TerreI's New Member Made a
Fine Record.

Fine Record.
The constituents and friends of
Hon. D. c. Pickett will read with in
terest the following Atlanta special
to the Macon Telegraph of last Fri
day:
One of the most valuable men in
the present legislature was Repre-
sentative Pickett of Terrell county.
Although Mr.. Pickett served only for
single session, having been elected
to take the place of M. H. Marshall,
Jr., resigned, he showed himself a
most valua BILE man in the lawmaking
body.
Mr.. Pickett took an active part in
the proceedings, being a regular at
tendant on the house and voting on
every matter of Importance that
came up. He was the author of sew
eral important bills, notably a meas
ure providing for the rotation of
judges of the superior court through
out the state.
"Of course as Mr.. Pickett has only
had one session of fifty days in which
to work there was little chance of
his getting the measure through.
There is a growing sentiment in fa-
Eor of some such legislation as Mr..
Pickett proposes, however, and he ex-
poets to see it enacted in the not dis
tant future.
1T is to be regretted that Mr..
Pickett is not a candidate for rQ-elec-
ton. For a single-session man he
made a really notable record"
