Jail Does Little Good.

But sending a father to jail in any
proceeding under this act does not
place him where he can earn bread for
his children. Giving a bond as is pro-
vided is practically a dead letter. for
who would go on the bond of this kind
of a man? Paroling the delinquent
father without bond in its practical
results, is placing him right back

FIRST BORN KEPT IN ALCOHOL
For Thirty-Five Years Body of Child
Has Been Preserved by Father in
Memory of First Wife.

SAN FRANCISCO.-The body OF
two-months-old baby, the first of his
twenty-three children, that Jesus Gri-
jalva had preserved in alcohol in a
glass jar for. thirty-five years in mem
DRY of his first wife, was discovered
when a fire broke out at the shack
where Griialva lived in Laguna street
near Francisco. He tried to rush IN
and save the relic when the blaze
started and was severely burned Ill

guished the fire.
Griialya is so years old and can
only speak English with difficulty
and Detective Sergeant j. E. Nolan
had to call in Policeman S. Bernal

story was explained.

the priesthood and was connected
in some capacity with Santa Clara
College. He also said that he once
owned considerable land near May
field. which he bought from Senator
Stanford, but had had financial re-
verses since. He said that his child
I was his oldest son and that he mao

The body was taken to the morgue.
Griialva kept his house in Mexican
peon style, using no stove and build
ing his cooking fire in a plate in the
middle of the floor The fire that
damaged the shack is supposed to
have started from this cause. GriJal-
va was taken into custody and later

THE BEST WAY WE KNOW TO MAKE THIS STORE POPULAR IS
TO DO WHAT WE ARE WORKING FOR EVERY DAY.
MAKE 1T MOST SERVICEABLE TO THE PEOPLE

For just to really live is to truly
serve, so the LIFE of any great ell
terprise is SERVICE. Especially is
this true of any great retail store,
devoted to the assembling and dis
tribution of things nect ssary, beau
tiful and serviceable.
Our policies are unchanged from
the beginning, except as they are
amplified by experience and progress
sion-we have merely gradually wild
ened a path that was true from the
beginning.
That is what we want to tell you
about today, and we may be excused
the touch of self-congratulation that
mingles with our pleasure in the
telling, for we have surpassed even
our most sanguine hopes in the pro-
gress of our business.
What is the secret of Success that
has crowned our undertaking?
It isn't the going around Of the

NEGROS MAKING THEIR WILLS
Cause of Strange Epidemic Among
Colored Folks of Columbus Has
Not Come to Light.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-Making ones
will is now the fashion among Co
lumbus negroes.
Quite a feature of the work in To-
cal lawyers offices recently has been
the writing and formal signing and
Witnessing of Wills made out by col
ored clients.
Just why this epidemic of will
making among the negroes has not
yet come to light Those going
through this formality do not seem
apprehensive of near sudden death,
but are probably actuated by the fact
that some of their friends and neigh
bors have had such interesting doc
uments prepared.
A day or two ago a colored woman
walked into the office of prominent
Columbus lawyer and remarked that
she wished him to write her will.
He was rather surprised, as it was
the third successive will negroes had
had him prepare this week. He was
still more surprised, however, when
he learned that this colored woman
owned about $4,000 of property,
most of it real estate.

IN DROP OF HUMAN BLOOD.
\ Scientist Reads Age, Sex and the
Color of Eyes.

Experiments with human blood
conducted by Prof. Reichert of the
University of Pennsylvania are inter
esting his fellow scientists. The pro-
fessor says he has been able to learn
from a drop of blood whether it is
that of a white or cOlored person,
whether that of a male or female
and approximately the age of the
subject from which the specimen has
been taken.
All of this has been brought about
by the use of photography, by which
the microscopic particles of blood can
be studied with precision. Some of
the blood corpuscles are but 1-3, 900
of an inch long
The experiments are being check
ed off and the scientist will shortly
present to the profession the result
of his Investigations. Within the
next few weeks, he says, he will be
ready to publish an account of his
tests. He predicts that many of the
older theories as to the formation
of the red and white corpuscles will
have to be revised.

200 BUSHELS POTATOES TO ACRT
Randolph County Man Reaped Small

Randolph county Man Reaped Small
Fortune in the Tubers.
A Randolph county farmer, like
many good men before him. moved
with his family to Texas. His family
longed for dear old Georgia and he
was not very well satisfied, so he
moved back This year, the first at
ter returning to this state, he planted
ten acres in sweet potatoes. He has
only gathered three acres OF his crop,
and from these he has sold 600
bushels. Sweet potatoes brought
over 81 per bushel early in the sea-
son: they retail for 81 in the local
market now. The Randolph county
farmer could find nothing better in
Texas than this. If there are any
in Georgia contemplating the expert

his example and save railroad fare

INVESTIGATES INVESTIGATOR
CHARGES AGAINST T. f. WYNN,
TRUSTEE OF SOLDIERS HOME.
Head Nurse Says He Came There in
an intoxicated Condition, and
Laid His Hands Upon Her.

Laid His Hands Upon Her.
ATLANTA.-Grave charges of his
conduct while staying at the home as
chairman of the investigating com
mittee of the Soldiers Home trus-
tees have been filed with Governor
Brown against Thomas E. VIM, a
member of the board from Morgan
county,
The charges are made by Mrs.
Mackie Glare, head nurse in the hos
pitaI at the home Mrs. Clare and
two veterans called on Governor
Brown this morning and flied addi-
tiOnal statements in connection with
the charges, which had previously
been made in the form of affidavits.
In her affidavit Mrs. Clare charges
that Mr.. Winn came to the home dur
ing October as chairman of an inves-
tigating committee to look into GER
tain charges of misconduct on the
part of inmates. He demanded room
21 in the hospital, which was given
him. Later he came back, and, Mrs.
Glare asserts, he was in a state of
intoXicatiOn. He again demanded
room p, but was Informed by Mrs.
Clare that it was occupied by a sick
veteran. Then, she states, Mr.. VIM
became violent and started towards
her with outstretched hands and
cursed her. AfterWard, she says,
Colonel VIM became very demon
strative and advanced towards her
with outstretched arms and hands,
forcing her into narrow space be-
hind the counter in the drug room
or dispensary. The colonel, it then
appears, came behind the counter
and expressed his personal regard
and admiration for her, at the same
time laying his hands upon her per-
son and attempting to embrace her,
she says.
Colonel VIM, who is a member
of the investigating board of the
home, was there to investigate a
charge of drunkenness against Hugh
Colquitt, an inmate, of which Mr..
Colquitt was eXonerated.
Superintendent Saussy says that
Winn took supper with him on the
evening of the incidents with which
he is charged, and afterward sat in
his room and talked with him. While
in his room and before his visit to
the hospital, Superintendent Saussy
says, he noticed the fumes of liquor
upon WINS breath.
Inmates of the home are much
aroused over Mrs. Clare's charges,
and for the most part stand with
her. Not a little feeling has been
expressed against Mr.. Saussy. The
friends of Mrs. Clare think that he
should have pressed the charges she
has made
Mr.. Winn is an appointee of Gov
ernor Smith. When Governor Brown
named the board the first time he
left Mr.. VIM off. Later a vacancy
occurred through death, and Gov
ernor Smith, then occupying the ex-
ecutive office, appointed him to the
vacancy.
Governor Brown will make full
investigation of the matter, but he
not certain yet as to the authority
he might have, as he has not had OPP
portunity to look into the law.
The affair has created sensation
here. Mrs. Clare has been head nurse
in the hospital for some time, and is
a woman of excellent character and
ability
