is BRIEF
Prohibition Party Declares for Six
teen Important Principles-Many
PIanks Same as Other Parties.

Prohibition partys platform for
1912:
The prohibition party in national
convention at Atlantic City, n. j.,
July 1912, 1912, recognizing God as
the source of all governmental au-
thority, makes the following declara-
tion of principles and policies:
l. The alcoholic drink traffic is
wrong is the most serious drain on
the wealth and resources of the ma
tion; is detrimental to the general
welfare and destructive of the in
alienable rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
All laws taxing or licensing a traf-
fic which produces crime, poverty
and political corruption, and spreads
disease and death, should be re-
pealed. To destroy such a traffic
there must be elected to power a Do-
litical party which will administer
the government from the standpoint
that the alcoholic drink traffic is a
crime and not a business, and we
pledge that the manufacture, impor-
tation, transportation and sale of al
corolic beverages shall be prohibited
We favor:
?. Suffrage for women on the
same terms as for men.
3. A uniform marriage and di-
vorce law. The determination of
polygamy and the complete suppress
sion of the traffic in girls.
!. Absolute protection of the
rights of labor, without impairment
of the rights of capital.
.. The settlement of all interna-
tional disputes by arbitration.
6. The abolition of child labor in
mines, workshops and factories, with
the rigid enforcement of the laws
now flagrantly violated.
z. The election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
s. A presidential term of six years
and one term only.
g Court review of postoffice and
other departmental decisions and or
ders; the extension of the postal saw
ings bank system and of rural deliv-
cry, and the establishment of an eff
cient parcels post
TO- The initiative, referendum
andsrecall.
L. Ao CuS ldIlll is COmm6TCldl
question it should be fixed on the
scientific basis of accurate knowl-
edge, secured by means of a perma-
nent, omni-partisan tariff commits
sion, with ample powers.
IL. Equitable graduated income
and inheritance taxes.
l3. Conservation of our forests
and mineral reserves, and the reclaim
alton of waste lands. All mineral
and timber lands, and water powers,
now owned by the government,
should be held perpetually and leased
for revenue purposes.
IA Clearly defined laws for the
regulation and control of corpora
tions transacting an interstate bust
ness
I5. Efficiency and economy in
governmental administration.
l6. The protection of one day in
seven as day of rest.
To these fundamental principles
the national prohibition party re-
news its long allegiance, and on these
issues invites the cooperation of all
good citizens, to the end that the
true object of government may be at
tanned, namely, equal and exact JUS
tice for all

POSSIBLE TO DANISH
MALARIA FROM STATE
Georgia state Board of Health Points
Out How Disease Might Be Erad-
icated Through Proper
Precautions.

Atlanta, Ca, July 24.-(Special.)-
Do you know how to tell the differ
ence between the Anopheles and the
Culex? Or, to put it in plain Eng
lish, could you tell the difference, If
you tried, between the malarial mos
quito, the particular mosquito which
carries and transmits the germs Of
malaria and to which the name Ano-
pheles is given, and the common, or
binary, everyday mosquito which is
known as the Culex?
There is one important distinguish
ing feature, about which there is
nothing scientific or involved, and it
is this: Observed when at rest upon
a wall or other surface, the body OF
the malarial mosquito is almost
straight and sticks out from the sur
face upon which it rests, while the
body of the common mosquito is bent,
forming an angle, and both its Eeak
and tail point toward the surface to
which it is attached.
The accompanying illustration
shows this difference so that any one
may recognize it. Every one should
have this information, for it may
prove of material assistance in avoid
ing a dangerous attack of malarial
fever.

Prominent local Attorneys who
have been questioned regarding
the case, contend that no matter
how much or how little of the
book was quoted, if the matter
was obscene, he could be prose
cuted, as the copyright only
protected the publisher of the
book from infringent. and did
not permit the publisher to send

in Georgia is that which produces q
chill every other day. The disease
may come on insidiously producing
bilious or remittent fever; it may
come in chronic form, subjecting the
patient to attacks of fever at irreg-
ular intervals for years; the brain
may become affected, producing very
alarming symptoms, and in many
cases the malady ultimately termi-
mates in chronic Bright's disease.
Quinine and other drugs are used
in the treatment, according to cir
cumstances and the particular form
the disease manifests; but it is not
advisable to prescribe these except
under the advice and direction of a
physician.
The State Board Of Health at it's
laboratory in the state capitol, At
lanta, is prepared to make examina-
tons of the blood of any person for
malarial parasites, free of charge, and
will very gladly make such tests and

ing them. Specimens should be ad-
