Not Afraid to Bathe
s..................................

Not Afraid to Bathe Londcn Cablegram to the Chicago Tri- bune
 Dr. Quive, speaking at the sanitary in sttute congress, said that, outside of highly specialized appliances, little prog ress had been made in the past 200 or 300 years in advancing the general effi- ciency of vessels for washing the hu- man body There were probably 15,00o,- 00t bedrooms which contained no other appliance than q washstand.
 Inquiries, he said, showed that tho habit of taking bath daily belonged principally to type of graduates of pub lie schools and to the early middle aged mon.
 Whenever a congress of medical men or sanitarians was held in any town M seemed to be agreed that American wom- en were less bashful than English wom- en. They were not afraid to pass along the corridors to a bathroom. while their English sisters had strong objection to doing this
 This was accounted for by the fact that American women have greater use of the bathroom. They were also apparently better provided with elaborate dressing gowns than the English women.

That the Franco-Russian naval conven- ton places Germany absolutely al the mercy of France in the event of war is the opinion of most Paris editors. It is asserted that the new agreement will eff. fectualH stop German designs on the Low countries. which, if persisted in, would inevitably lead to war.
 Perhaps the essential importance of the treaty is that 1t implies two new develop ments of European policy. one obviously, the other inferentially. Former Russian naval power having been smashed at Tsu- shima, future Russian naval power will be employed fin the Baltic. That is plain and 1t is a clear reason why France and Russia have waited just 20 years before adding a naval convention to their mIli- tary convention of 1892 While Russia was hypnotized by far eastern waters no naval cooperation between her and France was feasible or desired by either country. The recreation of Russian naval power in the Baltic shifts the posi- ton entirely. But here arise the second potential change ofh European policy A naval convention between France and Russia in northern waters can point to but one conclusion-Anglo-R Russian naval co-opera ton in those waters at some fu- ture date France has almost completely gathered her naval strength in the Medi- terranean. leaving only a small force in the channel. The Mediterranean is stil. closed sea for Russia as long as the Berlin treaty lasts. It follows that the only real meaning of double alliance naval convention must be that it will lead 10 some triple entente naval understand ing. In the meantime Russia will be able to rebuild her fleet

genuine girl-fish has heen located at Prevoste. This little wonder is but 6 months old. yet she swims like q shad and dry land.
 Some weeks ago the mother of the child had work to do on the strand and she took the baby with her, leaving the little one to sun herself on a warm blanket. The in- fant crawled down to the waves and the mother returned to find the blanket with out the baby. At first she thought the child was stolen and then she feared it had crept into the waters and drowned. A search was made and. sure enough, the baby was discovered far out to sea, but merry as @ cricket and very much alive. She was swimming just as nat urally as fish and dived when the fish ermen tried to pull her into the boat Now she is unhappy except when she is in the water, where she spends most of her time each day.

Usual Hot Weather Movement From
This Section Has Not Been Near
as Large as Heretofore.
There have been fewer people to
leave Dawson for the so-called sum-
mer resorts this year than in many
years. The railroad agents will tell
you thaG the tide Of travel for The
summer is not much more than the
ordinary business, due to the fact
that the climate of Southwest Geor-
gia at the present time is so pleasant
and the reports from other sections
are so alarming that not many people
are willing to risk the chances of
going away.
Usually at this season of the year
a large number of the people in town
sea coast to dodge the hot summer
sun, only to find that it is about as
hot in the mountains and on the sea
coast as it is at home. This year
most of the people decided to wait
until the weather would get warmer,
but the real hot weather has not ar
rived. Nearly every night Dawson
people are sleeping under cover be-
fore day, while some of the thin
blooded ones pull up an extra quilt
before morning.
Nearly all the people who have
gone away from Dawson this sum-
mer have gone on short vacations
and to visit relatives in other places.
There has been very little fleeing
to the mountains"
The people of Southwest Georgia
are lie irjng all the n that their
section is as pleasant in summer as
it is in winter. The sun gets higher
towards the North in the summer
time, and the people in the climate
higher up feel it's blazing rays more
than the people here do, while the
people in those sections do not get
the fine breezes that flow continually
from the gulf across to the Atlantic
and back.
