September is. with the assurance of tire
largest attendance in its history. in
spite of the fact that last year showed
an increase of As per cent over the
previous one.
DR.. A. NJ. Soule, president, has just
arrived from Detroit, where he ad-
dressed the annual meeting of the
American Bankers association by invi-
tatiOn DIR. Soule says that there is
abundance of evidence that the state of
Georgia is undergoing a revival in ag-
riculture. This is attested by the at
tendance of the farmers Institutes. the
large number enrolled in the corn and
tomato clubs, the thousands of inqui-
ries coming to the college for informa-
ton about better grades of stock, about
how to grow other groups than cotton
and corn. and about modern methods in
various lines, and also by the report of
success from those leading the way in
agricultural advancement
Plans are being launched for cover

PAY FOR SOLDIERS
ISLONG OVERDUE:
ARMY FLAT BROKE

If regular soldiers had a vote the per
son or persons responsible for adjourning
congress before the army pay appropria-
ton was signed and sealed would feel the
wrath of Uncle Sans defenders from
Seattle to Key West. For the soldiers
have not received their pay for some time
since it was due, and the army is fiat
broke.

you've got nothn' to bet? We got one
satisfaction. The next games with the
team out at the Federal pen and them
guys are worse broke than US"
Business firms catering to the especial
demands of the soldiery are feeling the
lack of government coin, too. But they
are consoling themselves with the hope
that when the pay does come it will ar
rive in a bunch. And the night after the

MASCOT IS
IN GUARDHOUSE
Fiddler" Has Been Perfectly
Good Dog, But Surgeon Fears
Pet May Have Rabies.

It's lonesome on the reservation at
Fort Mcpherson these days The reg
iment is all there. and there's plenty of
baseball, but Fiddler and his friends
are all in close confinement.
Fiddler is the regimental mascot and
has been for twelve years. He is a
brown dog with a tail that never stops
wagging. and he is the best chum of
every man and child on the reserva-
ton. He is really the property Of Ser
geant Miller, an old Indian fighter, who
picked Fiddler up in Cuba years ago.
But every man at the post is his
friend.
No; it isn't Fiddler's fault that he is
locked up like a refractory private. It's
because a certain mongrel pup went
mad and chewed the fingers of ten
soldiers a few weeks ago and the sur
geon thinks perhaps the pup bit all the
other dogs before his head was ampu-
tated. So Fiddler and all the rest of
the four-legged pets of the post are

don't like It, as the chorus Of doleful
bowls informs every one within ear
shot Of the post.
There are lots of dogs, company
mascots and private pets, at the post,
but Fiddler is the favorite. He en-
listed in Cuba, has been to the Philip
pines, the Texas border, back to Cuba
and to Washington and home again. In
fact, wherever the Seventeenth goes
there goes Fiddler. He is getting ad-
vanced in age, but he isn't too old to
mascot successfully. And when F'id-
dler answers the last roll call therell
be a funeral at the post which even a
colonel might envy.

DANGEROUS CkLOMEL
GOING OUT OF Use
A Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has
Taken Its Place in the Drug
Store and in the Home.

A few years ago, men, women and
children took calomel for a sluggish
liver and for constipation. They took
risks when they did so, for calomel is
a dangerous drug. Your family doctor
will be he first to tell YOU this if he
discovers you dosing yourself with cal
omel.
But the drug trade has found a safer,
more pleasant remedy than calomel in
Dodson's Liver Tone.
Atlanta druggists tell us that their
drug stores sell Dodson's Liver Tone
in practically every case of bilious
ness and liver trouble where calomel
used 10 be taken.
0odson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liver tonic that is absolutely harmless
for children and grown people. 1t sells
f0r 30 cts. a bottle and is guaranteed to
be entirely satisfactory by all Atlanta
druggists. who VIII refund your money
with a smile if it does not give quick,
gentle relief without any Of calOmel's
unpleasant after effects.

MISS FARRAR NOT

BY CHARLES HENRY MELTzER.

LONDON, Sept. l6.-What are the facts
concerning Geraldine Farrar? For some
weeks past wild stories have been cur

prlma donna was reported to be so i'll

her. The announcement that she had

When It became known that she had can

nave learned, however, from an I'M
portant employee of the Metropolitan that
Miss Farrar had recovered.
Il saw Miss Farrar only few DAYS go
in Munich" said my informant. She
was then living at the Hotel De Russie
and looked bright and well 1t is fact
that she was lately in a sanitarium, and
at her doctors advice, some weeks ago
she cancelled her concert enga gements,
but she assured me she was now in per-
feet health and there appears to be no
doubt that she viii be able to appear on
the second night of the approaching opera
season; not in New York, but possibly in

In confirmation of his optimistic state
ments my informant pointed out that
Miss Farrar's mother had arrived in
Paris.

would leave her daughters side If the
reports you mention were justified"
On the other hand, about a week ago
an artist who till lately would have been
generally accepted as an authority gave
quite alarming news about Miss Farrar
to one Of the most influential persons con-
nected with grand opera in America The
truth may lie between the two extremes.

CASE OF THE BIRDS.

A lawyer for a miliner who says
he represents majority Of the MILL
ners of the city announces that he Will
test the constitutionality of the so
called plumage law and carry the case
to the United States Supreme Court If
necessary. This law, backed by the
Audubon Society. bird lovers and
agricultural economists. was designed
to protect. as far as one state could,
the diminishing wild birds OF New
York and of the country. 1t provides
that no part Of the plumage. skin or
body of any wild bird native TO this
state. or of any birds coming from
without the state belonging to the
same families as those native TO this
state. shall be sold or had for sale. II
excerpts birds of paradise. ostriches'
domestic fowl and domestic pigeons.
Thus the sale Of aigrettes. the procure
ment Of which is commonly recognized
as one OF the most bnrbarous methods
by which commerce caters to fashion,
became unlawful in this state.
The measure was fought by the mil
liners when il came up for passage.
When they saw 1t was about to be
passed they obtained the concession
that it should not take effect for
year. In that time. they said. they
could get rid Of their stock OF plumage'
Yet only the other day raid by state
authorities disclosed the fact that a
millner here had hats, Of course IN the
latest mode. trimmed with prescribed
plumage. Of which she had much more
in stock. The aesthetic and economic
value of wild birds cannot he reckoned.
Realization Of that fact was strong
enough in 1910 to bring about the pas
sage OF this law TO protect thcm
against the demands Of fashion. me
miliners who prefer their trade ana

obedience are technically lawbreakers.
Yet they are not the real cu'prits. Inc
place TO try this case is at the bar OF
public opinion. Perhaps the bird'
would have a chance against 'the

CRIMINAL COWARDICE.

The selfish and cowardly opposition
Of real estate owners to the erection OF
contagious disease hospitals near their
property is making the treatment Of
contag ious diseases in the public hos
pitfalls a disgrace to this city. That
these hospitals are shockingly over
crowded and the death rate In them Is
scandalous Is the conclusion Of com
mittee OF physicians representing the
Academy of Medicine. whose report Is
made public in to-day's Tribune. DR..
Nicoll, the attending physician at the
Willard Parker Hospital. says:
One child, treated at a private hos
pital. III with scarlet fever has twice
the chance of recovery as compared 10
the tenement child who, for one reason
or another. must go TO a public lnstl-
tuition; with diphtheria, four TO hve
times the chance of recovery, and with
measles, ten times or more.
This discreditable condition exists be-
cause OF the overcrowding Of the pub
lie contagious disease hospitals. And
the overcrowding exists because the
city. which has appropriated money for
new hospitals and possesses sites
where the hospitals are needed, has
tamely yielded to the prejudice of local
real estate owners who wish to force
the proposed hospital upon an island
in the East River, making necessary
long ambulance and ferry trips dan
gerous to the patients In the winter
The city might better fight this
prejudice once and for all. No system
Of hospitals which Will take care Of
Children's contagious diseases as the
contagious disease hospitals OF foreign
cities do can be built unless the insti-
tutions are constructed in the different
borOughs Of the city accessible 10 the
centres OF population. THE hospitals

liberia and only per cent of measles,
while European cities, like Glasgow,

patients i'll the hospitals
The people who are afraid to have
a scarlet fever and diphtheria hospital
in their neighborhood are not afraid
to have scarlet fever and diphtheria
treated In the next fat to them. That
is what their foolish hostility causes.
And 1t causes sufferers from these dis
eases and from measles TO die like
rats" in the overcrowded city hospitals
or from exposure on the long trips TO
those hospitals. The conditions which
the committees report disclOses are a
disgrace.

to quel them. The danger is that the
people will get the habit Of being
lawless and revolutionary. as they did
in the days of Santa Anna. and that
the republic will thus relapse into
chaos. That danger is real and not
distant.
1t cannot he said that the United
States is acting hurriedly or impa-
tienty. On the contrary, it has ex-
hibited noteworthy degree of self
restraint and forbearance. in peculiarly
trying circumstances. 1t does not be
grudge the lavish exercise Of these
friendly qualities. But it does expect
as il has the best Of rights 10 do, that
Mexico will not regard them as con-
donation Of her disorders or as afford
ing opportunity for indefinite prolonga-
ton of them. Really, the more patient
and the tolerant the United States is,
the more eager and resolute Mexico
should be in abating the causes of an
nOyance and complaint.
