Monkeys Refuse ToBe
Goats for Doctors in
Pellagra Experiments
SimianS, After Two Months of
Spoiled Corn Diet, Show No
Signs CT Disease.

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 23.-The eff
fort of the government to find the
cause and cure for pellagra through
experimentation on monkeys is about
to fail, because the Simians refuse alb
solutely to contract the disease.
Two months ago nineteen monkeys
from the Washington geological gar
dens were sent to the Marine hospital
in Savannah as subjects for pellagra
experiments Two of the nineteen
monkeys are being fed on spoiled corn,
which is believed to be cause of the
disease. They not only have shown
none of the symptoms of the disease,
but appear to be as healthy as their
companions, which are fed healthier
diet Another monkey has been inoc
ulated with germs without effect.

Those who do not believe in en-
forcing the law as passed by council
ought to resign from the commission
said M Harwell.
After considering the criticisms that
have been heaped upon them, the COM
missiOners proceeded to criticise. They
said they had been unable to get a suf-
ticient appropriation from council to
carry on the work of the department,
which has to deal with gas as we'll as
smoke
Inspector McMichae said he was
obliged to do his own stenographic
work al a great sacrifice of time from
his real duties, He said he was even
using his own typewriter, they not
having furnished him one.
When the finance committee meets
to make up the October budget mem
bers of the commission will go before
it and urge a sufficient appropriation to
maintain the department.

BACK DOOR OF BANK

PENSACOLA, FLA. Sept 23.-The
package of money supposed to have
been stolen from an express car or
the L. and n. last week was found al
the back door of the First National
Bank here today. The package con-
tanned $4,000 which the detectives. up
on investigation, found to be the
amount that disappeared, instead OF
$4,000, as originally reported. The
money was found by Matthew Thomas
a negro janitor- when he swept out.
The finding of the money was pre-
coded by a mysterious telephone mes
sage received by the bank cashier. to
the effect that the money would be
found in the back yard if search was
made for it. Officials secuted the tip
but the negro undertook the investiga-
ton on his own hook
The money is believed to have been
returned by the thieves who took il
when they learned that detectives were
close on their trail. 1t was turned over
to the express company, from whose
possession it disappeared.

Three Causes for
Violation of Law,

There are three causes for most of
the trouble, he OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
firemen, bad equipment and the over
loading of boiler capacity.
The members of the commission
present agreed that it would be impos-
sible for the owners of some of the
larger steam plants to comply with the
law for several months. Where such
cases are found the inspector will allow
additional time.
Only three members of the commits
sion were present at the meeting today.
Commissioners Harwe!l, Corley and
Schoen. The number was not a quo
rum. But the smoke ordinance has
been city law since July l. The ac-
ton of the smoke commission IN
amending the ordinance at its last
meeting was declared void by City A.
torney Mayson. The members present
decided there was nothing for the
chairman to do but to instruct the
chairman to order the inspector to en-
force the law.
They said they believed the other
members, Commis sioners Elsas, Rem
froe Essig, VanHarlingen and Mayor
Winn, who it was explained, were UNI
avoidably kept away, would agree.

SO Hostile.

Wilmer L. Moore, president of the
Chamber OF Commerce and a former
member of the smoke commission, said
today that he believed the original plan
Of the smoke commission to enlist the
cooperation of the manufacturers
rather than prosecute them in court
was the best plan of action, for the first
few months at least
He said he thought Mayor VIM act
ed wisely in appointing oscar Elsas,
about whose official action there has
been some criticism, a member Of the

He said he realized that the commits
sion made mistake in its effort to
amend the smoke ordinance Of council
but urged that Atlanta suspend all
judgment of the commission until its
members have had an opportunity to
reveal their real attitude.

Nessie Bostwick. who lives with her
parents at 101 Davis street, was en-
gagged by Swaringen last Saturday upon
answering his advertisement in the At
lanta papers. She says he didn't ask
her whether she could sing or dance,
but just looked at her, offered her three
dollars a week, her board and laundry
bills, and put her at once into a re-
hearsal with the other girls of the
company. Her father missed her when
she failed to come home that night,
and asked the detectives to look her up.
They found that she had been engaged
by the Empire Company. arrested
Swaringen, and held the girl in the
matrons ward as witness. Vessie
Bostwick was not with the company
long enough to learn much of the lin
side" Of theatrical life and she is glad
she was stopped before she left the
city. She expects to forget the stage.
For many months the police of At
lanta have been worried over the white
slave problem and the five-cent vaude-
Vile houses Reports from time to
time, with the occasional arrest of a,
lIll95lliS Slll lDCdltu Ill one OF THESE
companies, has led them to believe the
theaters were agencies of evil They
have determined to go to the bottom Of
the situation.
Pass down some of the uptown streets
any afternoon. From the gaudily dec
GRATED front of these theaters you will
hear the blare of a noisy orchestra or
the thump Of piano and hear the
shrill. raucous voices of dozen girls.
Pay your coin and step inside. There
are the girls, dancing awkwardly,
shrieking out popular song without
regard to time or melody. They are
dressed in the cheapest of costumes,
the shortest of skirts. They are daub-
ed with grease paint, plastered with
powder. The spectacle is more pitiful
than amusing but the audiences which
throng these places are not critical.
Perhaps they believe they are getting a
big value for five cents.

legume Kansas has every other state
left at the pole. The alfalfa now
growing in Kansas approximates nine
hundred and eighty thousand acres,
and but three cultivated crops ex-
coed 1t in annual area, viz. wheat,
corn and oats. In combination with
these, alfalfa furnishes Kansas with
the most complete and cheapest RAJ
lions anywhere available for the
maintenance OF live stock, for the
excellence of which ethey are famed.
1t is a perennial blessing to those
SO fortunate as to have an area given
to Its growing.
The increase in its popularity with
us is disclosed by the fact that in
1891 is entire area was but 34,3S4
acres, and in 1910 Jewell county
alone had more than $4,000 acres.
1t supplies the protein to construct
and repair the brains of statesmen,
build up the muscles and bones of
the war-horse and endow its rider
with sinews like steel. 1t causes
the contented COW to yield the creamy
milk, the pig to grunt with satisfac-
ton, the hen to cackle at her lay,
and gives the Christmas turkey a
bosom that for appealing tenderness
bulk and breadth of beam is else
where unknown and unattainable.
