Artist idea Of change Effected by transplantng teeth

For it seems that there is not
a tooth with nerve so dead that
it wont go to work again if it
gets a chance to serve somebody.
Cast aside by the person in
whose jaw it grew and ached, any
old tooth will gladly serve any
body who will give it mouth room
will take root and grind and
cut and gnash for its new owner
till the. cows come home.
But there are not very many
dentists in the world who can
transplant teeth. There are just
about two who can be said to be
expert tooth transplanters. One
of these is DIR. w. ]. Younger, an
American who lives in Paris and
who often crowns the teeth OF
Robert Goodof Chicago who was
a pupil of DR.. Younger and who
is perhaps the foremost dentist in
America.
DR.. Good has transplanted
scores of teeth. The other day,

THOUSANDS OF POUNDS
OF XMAS MAIL HANDLED
SPEEDILY ATPOSTOFFICE

In the postoffice and it's sub-stations.
400 persons are working toward a dis
tribution of the Christmas mail. OF
these. $50 are employed for the holiday
occasion.
What do these workers do?
Monday, the machine at the Atlanta
postoffice cancelled the stamps on 246,-
600 letters and cards. That is, At
lanta people posted that many for de-
livery and that many We're sorted and
arranged for shipment.
In One Days Mail.
Through the office there passed Mon
day approximately 10000 Christmas
packages. many of them poorly wrap
ped no two of them the same size, and
every one of a shape to itself A job
for 400 men, don't you think?
That was Just the outgoing mail Mon
day. The incoming mail, consigned
from the four corners of the earth to
Atlanta men. women and children,
amounted to 100000 letters, cards and
packages. Today, it is estimated, there
may be half that number again-maybe
twice that number And Atlanta will
send away as much of mass of gifts
as 1t did Monday. Particularly will
they send cards.
"Drat the cards" said a postoffice
man. They are the last stab to re-
member everybody-the thing that
everybody puts off until the very end
And most OF them don't mean a darn
thing"
But with all the cards and letters, it
is announced by Postmaster H. L. Nc
Kee, the number of them is no greater
than the number which are placed in
the postoffice for delivery about the
first of each month, when duns go out
with their doleful summons.
Packages the Big Task.
The amount of first-class Christmas
mail, he says, will not nearly equal the
amount to go out January /, or there
abouts, when all the Christmas presents
must be paid for.
But it's the packages which furnish
the big task To assemble them, as
sort them, post them, is the hardest
job of Christmas for Mail Superintend-

laden with Christmas packages, from

to the bench where the mail clerks
work. That is all he does, hour after
hour. He gets 80 cents an hour for
doing it.
And his singleness of purpose is dis
tinctive of the system which has made
possible the delivery of Atlanta's great
est number of Christmas shipments
without congestion, without delay and
without feverish haste.

CHAMBER MOVES
FOR CAR SAFETY
Committee Asserts Many Troll
IeyS Are Without Tenders.
Seeks to Enforce Law.

Despite the declaration of trolley
company officials that all the cars in
Atlanta are equipped with tenders. the
Chamber of Commerce committee on
public safety is working today on a
plan to force the company to provide
really adequate protection for pedes-
trians. The committee declares that
many of the cars are without tenders
or SO poorly equipped that no real safe
ty is provided, and the chamber will
try to have the city ordinance enforced.
The death last week of fiye-year-
Theo Hoffman, mangled under car
in Grant street, was the specific case
which stirred the committee to action.
The boy was not struck by the wheels
Of the car. His little body was rolled
by the trucks until his life was crushed
out. proper fender would have lifted
the child from the rails and tossed him
aside with perhaps only a few bruises
Chairman w. ]. Lowenstein, Of the
public safety committee, made an in
vestigation and discovered. he reported
to the chamber. that many cars have
no tenders and many tenders in use are
wholly inefficient. He addressed a let
ter to President Wilmer L. Moore. Of
the chamber, urging the board OF d.
rectors to start action which would
force the company into providing eff
cient tenders.
w. H. Glenn, superintendent Of the
trolley company, declared that good
tenders, so far as there are any good
tenders, were in use on all cars.
Exactly what is a good fender is a
question" he said. Each manufac-
turer claims his is the best We have
a new improved mechanism on the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. line, but even this
has failed to work at a critical moment
We are complying with the law the best
we can. 1t is not true that some cars
are fenderless. Those where the fend-
ers do not appear from the street have
them far under the car, just in front
of the wheels"

SUFFRAGE HIKERS
BRAVE BLIZZARD
ON ALBANY MARCH

RED HOOK n. Y, Dec. 24.-One of
the worst billiards in many years failed
to halt today the "On To Albany"
march of the four stout-hearted suffra-
gists who alone remain of the twenty
eight pilgrims who started out from
New York a week ago to deliver a plea
for suffrage to Governor elect Sulzer.
CARRIED in wooden stockings and cam
vas leggings and with the storm coats
wrapped securely around them, the
quartet left here today, resolved to COW
er the ten miles to the town of Blue
Stores before nightfall, despite the
snow which in some places had drifted
from eight to eighteen inches
Miss Lillian Rockefeller, a grand
niece of John D., Joined the pilgrims
when they set out from here today and
announced that she would walk the rest
of the way to Albany.

With Christmas dawn less than fif-
teen hours away. there is in sight-the
amount of mail handled in Atlanta in
the two days preceding-1, $50, 900 pack
ages. letters and cards. The amount in
cludes both that mail received for dis
tribution in Atlanta and the Christmas
bounty of Atlantans, dispatched to
friends elsewhere.
While they speak in hundreds of
thousands at the postoffice, they talk of
tons at the express stations, the other
places for the distribution of Christmas
gifts. The rush of work there has pre-
vented a compilation of figures; the
breathless task of receiving. tagging
and weighing packages and taking the
the express operators the opportunity to
calculate totals.
However, it is considered a safe bet
that $4,000 parcels, approximating 250,-
900 or 300, 900 pounds-which. if you re-
member your tables, is a few tons
have been received for shipment from
Atlanta, and something like that amount
for delivery to residents of the city.
Preparations Were Complete.
Preparation for the Christmas sea-
son in Atlanta began last Christmas,
when the needs of the extra traffic were
determined. Hence no fever or fret
marks the rush season. Everybody Is
busy in the postoffice and the branch
postal stations and in the express Of
flee and Its sub stations, but the work
is organized.
Fervent rejoicings are heard from
the two distributing agencies that the
one big factor in the Christmas system
the railroad service, is good enough to
brag on. Schedules are smooth and
trains are running on time. No con-
gestion ensues on this score, and be-
cause the preparation in other quarters
began months ago, there is no conges
ton.
Such organization has been effected
that from both the postoffice and the
express stations Christmas packages re-
ceived this morning were delivered al
most as soon as received--at least. be-
fore this afternoon. Packages and let
tiers reaching Atlanta Tuesday after
noon will be delivered before night. il
possible. There will be. too, Christ
mas day delivery by both agencies
winding up the greatest part of Santa
Claus visitation to Atlanta.s
400 Workers at Postotfice.
To make the work of Christmas sea
son possible, a corps Of extra workers
has been pressed into service. The ex-
press agencies have employed 100 men
for the rush season, in addition to the
regular force of about that number. En-
ira wagons, probably fifty in number
have been put on the job.

$50 EXTRA WORKERS
AT POSTOFFICE TO
HANDLE XMAS RUSH

An army of extra clerks and carriers
was enlisted today in the job of han
ding Atlanta's Christmas mail. Seven
ty-five extra carriers or carriers help
ers are on the job. During the after
noon. when the shoppers put in their
best work and rushed to the postofiice
to dispatch their gifts, 60 helpers in
the mail room were necessary.
Under the system in vogue during
the holiday rush, each carrier in the
residential sections of the city is given
a helper, whose duty it is to bear half
the mail; and bearing mail in Atlanta
at Christmas time is considerable feat.
The extra men were needed most in
the northern portion of Atlanta The
Peachtree sub stations force was aug
mented by fourteen carriers.
The holiday employees Of the post
office number probably $50. They will
work through Christmas day, and prob
ably the day after, if any signs Of con-
gestien are evident

POISON IN BOMB
FEARED;v|CER0Y
IN BAD STATE
/, ..-
Lord Hardinge Develops Fever,
Causing AIarm-200 Plot
tiers Arrested.

DELHI, INDIA, Dec. 24.-In the fear
that the bomb thrown at Lord Hardinge
may have contained a subtle poison,
the authorities today ordered its frag-
ments submitted to a chemical exami-
nation. The wounded viceroy suffered
from a high fever during the night and
his physicians declared that they were
unable to explain this unless 1t was due
to poison. as the wounds caused by the
bursting Internal machine were clean.
Even the shoulder blade muscles were
torn. The fever abated somewhat ear
ly today, but the physicians decided
that If it rose again an operation might
be necessary to avert further danger. 1t
was found necessary to inject morphine
to induce sleep.
Lady Hartlnge, who, with her hus-
band, narrowly escaped death, has not
yet recovered from the shock of her ex-
perlence. She is under the care of
three physicians and two nurses. They
do not leave her alone a moment
200 Arrested; Thrower Still Free.
More than 200 arrests have been
made as a result of the attempted as
sassination of the viceroy, but the off,
Gals Of the Indian secret service are
not yet confident that they have the
man who threw the bomb. The ar
rests continued today, the prisoners
taken including members Of the Indian
Nationalist party and fanatical Mo-
hammedans who have been eXhorting
their followers to violence as protest

dia.
This city was the ancient MOhamme-
dan capital and as such is regarded
with the deepest reverence by the dis
ciples of Islam. Mohammedan priests
have declared it a PROCLAMATION of the
British to make Delhi the seat Of their
government.
1t is well established that the bomb
outrage was the result of a plot. The
man who threw the bomb was in the
center of a group of persons. AS he
tossed the internal machine toward the
howdah in which Lord and Lady Har-
dinge We're seated his companions were
seen to dash in various directions in
the crowd that filled the house top
from which the bomb was thrown.
Many Innocent Among Arrested.
In the confusion that resulted it was
! impossible to learn the identity of the
assassin or gain good description of
him. Many innocent persons were
among those arrested when the house
was surrounded. These were released
today, but all who could not give a sat
isfactory account of themselves were
held. A remarkable scene was enacted
at the vice regal palace today when the
Punjab chiefs and leading Indian MEM
bers of the viceroy's legislative council
called to express their regret over the
attempt to kill the viceroy and extend
their wishes for his speedy recovery.
Two of the Punjab chiefs burst into
tears when they were told that they
could not see Lord Hardinge. From the
palace the Punjab chiefs went to the
office of Sir Louis Dane, lieutenant
governor of the Punjab, and there took
solemn vow to avenge the viCeroy
and punish the would be assassin.

In giving expert testimony today be-
fore Recorder Broyles, DR.. H. F. Har-
ris, secretary of the state board of
mental suggestion and not spoiled Sau
sage that made City Health Inspector
Wasser deathly sick a few days ago
when he ate a sample of sausage from
the local branch of Armour & Co. Dr.
Harris was put up by the defense as an
expert on ptomaine poisoning and sau-
sages in the case made by Inspector
Wasser against L. J. Callahan, man
ager Of the Armour company, charged
with selling bad sausage.
Despite this expert diagnosis of his
illness, the inspector insisted to the re-
corder that he was really i'll; that he
became deathly sick within 25 minutes
after eating a small link Of the Ar
mour sausage that he experienced pc
culiar sensations in his stomach, and
had to seek medical aid for relief. He
said that after freeing his stomach of
the sausage he began to feel better and
was soon normal again.
BIames Inspectors Mind.
DR.. Harris said the inspector firmly
believed in his own mind that the sau-
sage was spoiled, and that when he ate
one. small link the mental suggestion
was sufficient to upset his stomach and
produce real poisonlike pains.
Manager Callahan, who ate one Of the
links at the same time as did Inspector
Wasser was offered by the defense as
q living example that the sausages We're
all right and that the inspectors mind
had overinfuenced his stomach. The
manager said he was not made sick
and felt no bad effects whatever lie
ate lunch with a relish, he said, shortly
after partaking of the sausage.

Inspector

In addition to the inspector, however,
Mrs. J. II. Dresbach, sof SO West Wood
street, West End, testified that she and
her children all became deathly sick
shortly after partaking of sausages sold
by the Armour company. DIR. Harris
said he had analysed sausages from the
same lot and had found no trace of
ptomaine poison. He said the DresbaCh
family may have suffered from an at
tack of, Indigestion, and that there was
a possibility that the sausage was not
as fresh as ii might have been. He de-
clared that ptomaine poison developed
not less than SO or AZ hours after the
eating of poisoned food.
Recorder Taxes Fine.
A number of other witnesses, among
them DR.. Claude Smith, city bacteriol-
ogist testified.
Manager Callahan made a statement,
explaining that the utmost care is used
by his concern in the handling Of all
of its meats. and that whenever bad
meat is found it is promptly barred. He
put up the steward of a leading hotel.
to which had been furnished some Of
the same lot of sausage as sold the
complaining witnesses, and he testified
that no one about the hotel who par
took of the sausage diet was made ILL.,
Summing up the evidence, Judge
Broyles said he was convinced the sau-
sage had not produced ptomaine poi
soning, but that it had caused illness
of some description and, therefore, was
unfit for use He fined Callahan $25.75.
Attorneys Thomas B. Fielder and Carl
Hutchinson. counsel for the packing
house, announced they would appeal
the case. Assistant City Attorney w.

ton.
