DRY CHIEF HAS
GOVERNOR FEVER
Hooper Alexander to Lead the
Prohis if Liquor Question Is
Made an Issue.

Ha! Another gubernatorial boom is
threatening to burst--into bloom!
This time it is the Honorable Hoop
err Alexander, who is scheduled to play
the star role.
1t is being whispered that the pro-
hibitionists have decided that big
booze war is about to be precipitated
upon the state of Georgia again, and
that they might as well get in the
game and see il through
Representative Alexander limited
more than once and more than broadly
in his speech favoring the Tippins bill
Tuesday that Messrs. Slaton and Hall
might have opposition, even at this late
day
Since the Tippins bill fight was won
in the house by the wide margin of
more than thirds of the total vote,
those who view things from the prohi-
bition point Of view have been asking
themselves. why not Alexander, if an
other fight must be made ?"
Alexander a Fighter.
1t is generally agreed that Alexan
der would, if he undertook the prohibi-
ton fight, enter vigorously and aggres-
siveiy upon a campaign TO win.
In many respects. he would be looked
upon as an ideal prohibition candidate
He is eloquent, tireless, Jealous and
perfectly able to make the fur fly in
any contest to which he is party.
If a prohibition fight is to be made,
and 1t may be, it seems pretty we'll as
sured that Alexander will lead It,
It Is said that Mr.. Alexander has
been sounded in the matter. and that
he is not altogether unwilling to get
into the mix-up if his friends think it
necessary to the cause OF prohibition

JUDGE ARCHIBALD
TOBE IMP EACHED
Farr, of Pennsylvania. Lifelong
Friend. Casts Only Dissent
ing Vote in House.

WASHINGTON. July 12.-The house
by a vote of 922 to late yesterday
ordered the Impeachment OF Robert w.
Archibald, of the commerce court.
Representative Farr of Pennsylva-
MIA, cast the single vote against the bill
of impeachment.
MIR. Farr is a lifelong friend, who has
all along voiced confidence in Judge
Archbald's integrity
Only three members spoke in the
judges defense. They were Represen-
tatives Farr, Bowman and Focht all
Republicans, of Pennsylvania.
The scene will now shift to the sem
ate, which will sit in judgment in the
case
The impeachment grows out of the
charges that while occupying a Federal
bench Judge Archibald was connected
with a negotiation for valuable culm
bank properties in Pennsylvania and
with other alleged questionable finan-
cial transactions and with using his Of
fetal position to attempt enrichment of
himself and friends.

MISTAKES ARE
BEING EXPOSED
MANY ARE TREATED FOR
THE WRONG DISEASE.
Thousands of Dollars Are Wasted
Annually by Sick.

The consulting physician for the
United Doctors, who have their At
lanta offices at 21-2 Auburn avenue.
made the startling statement that thou
sands and thousands of dollars are lit
orally thrown away by sick people be-
cause they are treated for. the wrong
disease and thereby remain sick and
in misery for years. and perhaps finally
lose their lives, when they could easily
have been cured II they could find
specialist who really understood their
case.
This statement made by this special
list. is deserving of serious consldera-
ton and is being proven true by the
work of the doctors in their office One
lady was recently cured by the United
Doctors in few weeks Other doctors
had been treating her for appendicitis
and wanted to operate, but the United
Doctors gave her thorough an0
searching examination which revealed
the fact that It was not appendicitis
at all, but gall stones She was &C
cordingly treated for gall stones and
quickly cured.
Another lady was troubled with
stomach trouble. or dyspepsia, palpi-
tation Of the heart and weak nerves.
The doctors cured her In a day by
removing a monstrous tape worm fifty
seven feet long, which had inhabited
her stomach for years and defied all
the pepsin and charcoal in the coun-
try.
These are only two cases out of sev-
eral hundred that are on file at the
Offices of the United Doctors. It is
such good work as this that Is flood
ing their famous institute with patients
from all over the country. Any sick
person is safe in going to them. Their
exa limitations are free and confidential
and if they can not relieve or cure you
they will frankly tell you so and not

Animal Thermometers
nm Iiarper's Weekly.

From Iiarpers Weekly.
 Crickets have a tendency to chirp sym chronously or in time with one another. It is claimed that they chirp more rapid ly in warm than in cold weather. The increase has even been rated at four chirps a minute for each degree the tenn perature increases.
 Certain animals appear to act as ha- rometers. It is said that while frogs re- main yellow nothing but fine weather may be expected. but that should their coats begin to assume brown hue bad weather is approaching.
 A spider seen spinning fts web in the morning heralds fine day: if seen In the evening. then at least the whole of the night and the following morning will be fine. If 1t Is raining and the owl screech better weather will ensue.
