ATLANTIC CITY, June 8--Cheer
ae.Ar cheer gr4eted Dr. Abraham Jacob
as he stepped to the front OF the plat
form at the meeting Of the American
Medical association and accepted the
gavel as the insignia Of the highest Of
fee in the country to which a phys
clan NAV be appointed in the line of his
profession. As this remarkable man OF
50 assumed the duties Of his ONCE ne
spoke with great feeling and said face
titiously:
Il have beer waiting for more than
80 years to get here, but now that
have accomplished it, am going to tell
what I intend to do There are but n
short few wears left to me, but In that
time I want to see the American people
regenerated
AT the present time mothers do not
want to nurse their babies because they
do not know any better You can not
improve on nature by any form Of mod

Marriage Health Certificates.
I'VE have got to have national legis-
lation TO compel the control Of the
marriage relation. My first work Will
be the appointment of committee
which will take up the question Of
health certificates before marriage, and
that If this Is not done the American
people are doomed to be one Of the ex-
tinct races within the next century.
In addition 10 the dissipation of the
men who are untitled to marry, there
are women who are Just as incspsb bic,
because they have violated the laws
Of hygiene and health and are hourly
bringing into the world degenerates
that are sapping the life blood Of the
nation. II it continues and there is no
government control the future destinies
of America will be controlled by the
descendants of the immigrant who is
far more moral"
He Attacks Midwifery.
The venerable specialist and ''Nestor
of American Medicine" as DR.. jacob
was referred to, criticised the practice
of midwifery in this country. He said.
America should hang her head in
shame at the laxity Of her laws. In
Europe midwives are subsidized, and in
some countries they are compelled TO
take a college course and are under
such restrictions that if they do not
perform capably their licenses are re-
voked Contrast this system to what
is done here in America,
"Midwives do as they please and IN
New York at least so per cent Of all
children are born without the services
of a physician Is it not a marvel
therefore, that SO many women are tin
subjects Of disease after childbirth? ."

WATER WAS TOO COLD
 FOR SWIMMING CLASS

Thirty three shivering bits of fe- minity attempted to swim in the v. M. c. A. pool yesterday afternoon at the regular meeting of the ladies swimming classes. Despite the hot sultry day swimming was not good in the pool yesterday afternoon and the ladies could not stand over about one plunge every five minutes in the chilly waters. There had been some trouble about warm water from the ice factory which caused the shivsr- ing. Another thing the water in the pool was lower than ordinary, which was also against the taste of the fair ones. They claim that it takes a full pool for them to do the big splash and so they were rather an- moved yesterday afternoon. The management however cau not be blamed but it is stated for certain that at the class meetinf Monday af- ternocn the pool will be fuM of warm water.

Fort Smith, June 6-Although tho coroner's jury Investigating the deatl of Eulah Laws, aged IT, who was shot to death in room at her homo Monday afternoon, rendered yer. dict that the girl was killed by Albert Smith, Little Rock travelling sales man, so much mystery developed to- day that Coroner Johnson will make an effort to secure more evidence.

He was de- lirlous most of the day. Yesterday he told his wife, according to Mrs. Smith that the girl shot him and then shot herself through the heart What the authorities believe is another link in the chain of evidence around Smith developed today when witnesses were found who stated that the girl scream ed as the first shot was fired.

The effort Of any newspaper to

that the editor is not appreciat-

can papers grow and build UP
their localities without the assist

No man who studies the subject
deeply or takes a broad view OF
the situation is apt to advise
Southern farmers to use less com
mercial fertilizers. They are
profitable or they should not be
used, and large quantities would
be still more profitable. What
we need is a more intelligent use
of fertilizers. If our farmers will
grow more legumes they will need
to buy less nitrogen and the
money now spent for nitrogen
about half of all that spent for
commercial fertilizers-can b.
put into the purchase OF phos-
phorus and potassium. This is
the reform needed in our use OF
commercial fertilizers. Not &
smaller expenditure, but a larger
expenditure along more intelll'
gent lines, which will make the
millions now made the farmer,
of the South through the use OF
commercial fertilizers grow into
many fold more millions.-Tht
