Christmas Joys Pay
S1,159.50m Fines; No
Sympathy From Court
Twenty Eight Pistol Toters Are
Given the Limit and Held
to Grand Jury.

Nlolators of the Christmas peace this
year were more prosperous than the
much longer list of Offenders in 1911
As result a total of $1,159,50 was col
lected in fines at the two sessions of the
recorders court yesterday.
The total number of cases disposed
Of yesterday was 1874, which is less by
more than 100, compared with the pre-
ceding year. Yet the fines collected the
day after Christmas. 1911. amounted to
only $999.25.
The population of the stockade was
not as materially increased yesterday
as it was on December 26, 1911. That
too, goes to show that the year 1912
was exceedingly prosperous for the
chronic Christmas offenders, as well as
the wiser. more conservative and more
dignified business man who spent a
quiet Christmas.
Judge Broyles gave the pistol toters
everything that was coming to them
yesterday. Twenty eight of these cele-
braters, mostly negroes, We're handed a
fine of $1O0.75 each, on the charge Of
dischar=ing firearms within the city
limits, and held all of them to the grand
jury under bond of $500 each
This morning the cell rooms at po-
lice headquarters were no more than
ordinarily filled with prisoners, and the
court had time to hear and discuss all
details OF cases.

DONE BY TERRIFIC
GALE ON CHANNEL

LONDON, Dec 27.-The terrific gale
that has been sweeping the English
channel and the coasts Of England and
France abated today, leaving it's results
in shattered vessels and battered towns.
The damage caused by the sea and
wind. which at times reached We

at over 100000,
Three small fishing vessels, carrying
about 80 men, are missing, and 1t is
feared that the tiny craft were swept
to destruction by the winds in which
large schooners and steamers were
helpless.
Immense waves, swept inland by the
wind. caused immense damage. Some
villages on the coast have been cut off
from the world for day. and when re-

Left-Handed
Compliment to City.

That statement is left-h handed com =
pliment to the city, too. for it is smoky
because of its rapid development. All
cities that have grown rapidly have de-
veloped fearful smoke nuisances be-
cause the people have been so busy
they have not had time TO think about
how to prevent il.
But just the same Atlanta is one OF
the dirtiest towns in the country.
''The present smoke ordinance is too
liberal But it 10 pretty good as be-
ginner for all smoke abatement is es-
sentially a campaign of education.
Railroad engines must produce some
smoke. The railroad situation is the
hardest proposition for Atlanta.
AT first blush, l would say the
easiest way to stop the smoke by the
railroads would be to use anthracite in
the switch engines.

IF the business men of Atlanta who
own the smoke producing plants would
only stop to think what nuisance the
smoke is to the average citizen
IF the business men would dismiss
the getting of dollars from their minds

can be prevented

an end in Atlanta

Inspector Poole said he expected the
co operation of the owners of all smoke
producers in stopping the nuisance, but
that he was accepting the office only on
condition that he have authority to en-
force the law; and that he would make
cases against ell owners of smoke pro-
ducing plants If they did not prove

jewels had been taken from his apart

berries since. In each case there were
no signs that the apartments were

mo Excuse for
Stationary Plant Smoke. -

There is no excuse for any smoke
being made by stationary plants. Not
only would it be fine for the city as a
whole to prohibit stationary plants
from making any smoke at all. but it
would be economical to the owner. 1t
IS simply a question of proper furnaces
and proper firing"
Inspector Poole said a perceptible
diminishing of the smoke nuisance
would depend entirely upon how tracta-
BILE the owners of plants proved to be.
Fl said he had reached the definite
conclusion that Atlanta practically
would be free from smoke before very
long; for the smoke could be stopped.
and he said he had been convinced that
the people OF the town demanded that
it be stopped.

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney Nsecretions.
That is why physicians make such
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is dangerous that it
is a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tions. Look for any of the following
signs:
More OF less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale q color.
Passases too frequent. profuse. or much
reduced. or scaldins and painful.
Fat or oily-lookins layer which ssthers
or jelly-like thickenins.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away
