there is another important fact about
this subject, which is that all these

The association has published hand

TO obtain the greatest benefit in so
doing. The helpfulness Of fresh air
mas long been understood in gen
eral way. but calling it the worlds
best medicine w.ll give it new value
In the minds OF many. knowledge OF
it has expanded in the last few years
from a point at which it was thought
necessary to send sufferers from
tuberculosis to California, Colorado or
Arizona to q point when the atnos'
phaca OF the Adirondacks was appre.
ciated. and since then. to the appre-
citation of the most available large
open space having clean air. But
while the curative work goes on
thousands OF more or less able-bodied
persons make 10 effort to secure indi'
vidual breathing space. They sleep
with closed windows. ride In closed
cars and work in stuffy Offices, shops
or stores. Some few persons in the
crowd whose lungs are offended pro-
:nst Or escape, but the bulk OF hui
manity tolerates polluted air while II

FIGHTING FOR CHILDREN

COLUMBIA. S. c., Nov. 26.-Hearing of
an action of law which has as it's stake
the happiness of United States Senator
Benjamin Il. Tillman began today in the
South Carolina supreme court, Chief JUS
tice Gary presiding.
The case is remarkable because of the
fact that the aged senator, in the bill of
particulars filed with the court has adj
mitted that his son has been a drunkard,
though he is now reformed.
The suit Is for the custody of the sena-
tors two grandchildren, the offspring of
his son and his daughter law, formerly

Gorver Pickens, of this state At present
the little ones are in the custody of their
mother, who resides a t Edgefeld, but who
is said to be contemplating their removal

This will be the second attempt of the
aged statesman to secure the two chill
dren. on the first occasion the court de-
cided that the mother was better prepared
to rear the children because of the father
weakness for liquor, which was alleged
by his young wife.

care for them tenderly."
Despite all his personal popularity and
influence, however, the court decided in

Two days after that every car in those
four counties was stranded in the road

and the owners just decided they were
ready for overhauling, and had them
dragged into the garages and taken to
pieces. They tell me there wasn't but one
car in Camilla running same as usual. and
1t was a two-cylnder affair of the vint-

Then some fellow began. to kick on the

Nine. Marcella Sembrich's ingrowing
temperament cheated her out of an ex-
cellent bunch of gate money in Atlanta,
in spite Of the cold fact that the adj
vance sale of seats wasn't enough to
pay gas bills. And IL Nine. Sembrich,
speeding toward Cincinnati today for
concert in that beer and music-loving
city. knew how she had overlooked a
bet the Pullman porter would be hiding
under the seats to escape the overflow

novelty.
The former songbird's temperament

afternoon. She didn't like the weather
and she didn't like the wall paper in
her apartments The bell hops voice
was slightly off the key and the club
sent up bottle of beer which had been
too long off the ice. She didn't like the
people she saw on the streets and She
didn't like the way her new gown fitted
across the back. Her left shoe pinched
her toe and the woman she met in the
tea room insisted on calling her SEM
brick instead of the more euphonious
SOM brree And, worst of all. she didn't
like the smoke. That smoke came In
the windows and soiled her collars and
choked her expansive lungs and her ex-
pensive throat 1t looked like a total
