UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS
ADVOCATED BY HOWARD
Astor-Force Marriage Spurs
Georgian to Ask for Con-
vention of Governors
By RALPH SIXTH.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 15.-Mov-
ed by rhe storm of protest over the AS
tor-Force marriage. Congressman How
ard. of Georgia, has introduced a resolu-
ton requesting the president to call a
convention Of governors. with a view to
perfecting a uniform divorce law. The
resolution does not allude to the APP
preaching wedding of Colonel Astor and
Miss Force. but the agitation growing
out of this contemplated marriage is adj
mittedly responsible for Mr.. Howard s
action.
II believe a convention Of governors
should be called by the president to con-
slider the question of a uniform divorce
law" said the congressman today.
'I think all of the laws should be
made more stringent. The laws now In
force are too lax and in consequences
there is an element of indecency involv-
ed to which most divorces are sub
jected."

VeStmentS viii Be
Presented to Him

When the announcement of Father
Gums appointment came. the leading
Catholics in Atlanta met for the pur-
pose Of deciding upon some form of trib-
ute to be paid to him by his Atlanta
congregation. They desired 20 present
him with some testimonial of their af-
lection that Father Gum might keep
and cherish to the end of his days. They
finally decided to present him with his
conservation robes.
The vestments of the new bishop will
be rich and handsome, and several loyal
Catholics are occupied in raising the sew
eral thousand dollars that the robes will
cost. Definite arrangements as to the
presentation program have not yet been

QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Mr.. George A. Yorker, Espanola, Fla
I have a flock of chickens that are
affected with white diarrhoea and are
me the cause and also the cure if
any. 1t would be greatly appreciated.
ANSWER:
When chickens are once affected
with white diarrhoea they are hard to
cure. Conkey's white diarrhoea cure
seems to be the best thing ever used
for this. Stop giving them soft feed
and cut Off the green feed altogether.
Mr.. o. H. Williford, Manistee, Ala.
My chickens are dying with what is
commonly called cholera. They have
high fevers, droop about for a short
time and then die. Their bowels are
also bad.
If you will catch up all your chick
ems and put them up in a yaru where
they can get nothing but good sound
wholesome food, you will be most
likely to stop the trouble You can
feed them one soft feed eacn day
with some Bakers condition powders
in it, or black draught stock powders.

have, but something that they are
getting to eat that is poisonous to
their system.
Mr.. Irwin Jackson Warren, Stillmore,
Ca.
My turkeys are affected with lice
the color of their skin and they are
dropping and dying from the effects.
Out of about IS Matched, 1 have only
left, and they seem to have lost all
of their vitality. l have busted mem
thoroughly w4lh insect powder, but
with no avail. Do you know of any
one that has the Red Bourbon turkeys
in Georgia for sale. and what price?
ANSWER:
Nothing will relieve the little tur-
keys of lice or knits like dipping
them in a solution of one part Is. d.
or c. N dip, which you should be
able to get from your druggist, to %
parts water. And your fowls should
also be dipped. Lice will kill them
very fast If they are not kept OF OF
them; nothing hurts little turkey
more than lice do not know of any
Red Bourbon turkeys.

Please advise which will pay best,

know If 1t would be profitable TO

ANSWER:
II you are in position to command
dairy labor. or IL you have coed

you to handle dairy cattle rather than
beef cattle; if not. beef cattle with
less work will be more profitable. II
you get a rich kind which, is Short

which are best for dairy cattle in this
section of the country. You viii find
goats also profitable, but they like a

I want you to give me a remedy that

in my settlement I have had several
good hound dogs that have died with
this disease. The dogs would start to

ANIMALS NOT INJURED IN
FIRING AT THE SAN MARCOS
Secretary Meyer Replies to Protests
from Societies for Prevention
of Cruelty.

WASHINGTON, April Protests hav-
ing been received by Secretary OF the Navy
Meyer from the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty TO Animals because live chick
ems and cats were aboard the old battle
ship Texas during the recent target prac-
tice in Chesapeake bay, the secretary has
replied that there was no cruelty TO the
animals.
The chickens and cats which were on the
San Marcos, as the Texas is now called.
were carried off after the firing by blue
Jackets from the various vessels OF the
fleet. They are being honored as heroes
who have gone through the thick OF a big
battle and won glory for themselves
There was considerable rivalry among
the various ships, each being anxious TO
obtain one OF these valuable mascots.
Secretary Meyer also replied TO a COM
munication from Senator Perkins Of Cali
forniA, chairman OF the senate naval at
fairs committee. In which the latter said
he had been receiving protests because the
San Marcos, formerly the battleship Texas
had been used for experimental purposes.
Mr.. Perkins asked II this was not a waste
OF money.
Secretary Meyer told Senator Perkins in
his reply that the san Marcos would have
been nothing better than a death tran

Railway Mail School
Raided on Charge Of
Defrauding Students
Prominent,, Railroad Officers on List
of Directors of Concern Which
Advertises Jobs.

NEW YORK, April detectives, act
ing at the instance OF postoffice inspectors,
raided the offices Of the Railway Educa-
tional association in Brooklyn this after
noon and arrested George w Baker presi-
dent Of the enterprise, on a charge Of using
the mails to defraud. Paul J. Gallagher
and John \. jenkins, secretary and direc-
tor. were arrested later Baker was re-
leased under 5000 bail and his colleagues
were paroled for examination Monday.
Baker issued a statement late tonight
saying that banking firm Of international
repute and many railroads were stockhold-
ers In his company and endorsed his work.
The object of his association, he said, was
the instruction by mail Of trainmen and
men about to enter railroad service, espe-
cially firemen and engineers
Baker also made public what he says is
a list Of the directors OF the association,
which includes J. J. Reid, master mechanic
OF the Missouri Pacific railway, and sew
eral road foremen and engineers of the
Vandalia, Baltimore & Ohio and New York
Central railroads The corporation direc-
tory for 1910 confirms this list and gives
other well-known railroad men as direc-
tors.
Postoffice inspectors confiscated nearly
half ton Of advertising matter and $40
letters. They allege that the concern OBJ
tained students by advertising for brake
men at $50 and flremen at 500 a month.
The association had also opened what it
termed recruiting offices, the inspectors
claim in Chicago, st. Paul, Denver, De-
troit, Boston and Milwaukee.
