BEATEN BEFORE FIGHT BEGAN
OUTCOME OF THE TALLULAH
FALLS LITIGATION FORESEEN.
Fight to Regain Possession of the
Falls Was Based on Purely Sem
timentaI Reasons.

ADVANTAGEOUS sentimental
litigation is the only description that
well fits the fight on the part of the
state to regain possession of Tallau-
lah Falls for the purpose of pre-
serving their natural beauty.
Everybody connected with the
fight knew this except, perhaps, few
of those who were most responsible
for it. Governor JOS. NJ. Brown and
Attorney General T. S. Fielder knew
it, and if it had been left to them
there would have been no litigation
on this subject. Mr.. Fielder searched
the records with fine tooth comb
looking for some possible point in
favor of the state; a survey of the
property was made, and it was sought
to find some peg upon which to hang
the states suit.
The legislature, which, of course,
knew nothing of the legal aspects of
the case, finally passed the resolu-
ton, through the influence of Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, and others who
were back of the movement, which
made the litigation necessary. This
resolution was a mandate to the gov
ernor and attorney general to press
the states claim to Tallulah Falls to
the limit of the law. Other lawyers
who had examined the situation,
reached the same conclusion arrived
at by the attorney general. Under
instructions from the legislature
state officials went into this fight
practically without hope, though they
gave it their best efforts.
Officials of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, who had just
won a decision from the state SUI
preme court, giving them final and
absolute title to the property, knew
pretty well what the result was go
ing to be. Naturally, therefore, they
went right ahead with their work of
developing the falls, and it is an in
teresting coincidence that the current
from the falls was turned into Allan
ia just a day or two before the su-
preme court declared that the COM
pany had a fee simple title to the
property in dispute.

HOW TAFT CUT HIS WEIGHT
EX-PRESIDENT TELLS HOW HE
LOST NINETY-NINE POUNDS.
Abandons Bread, Potatoes, Certain

THINGS. Never Felt Younger.


Things. Never Felt Younger.
NEW YORK.-Ex-Pres Will
liam Howard Taft has lost SO pounds
of flesh since he left the white house
on March 4th last When Taft babe
President Wilson goodbye the after
noon of Inauguration day and start
ed to his Southern home in Augusta
to rest and recuperate after nearly
20 years of practically continuous
federal service, he weighed $40
pounds, which he good-naturedly ad-
mitted was too much.
Would it be out of place TO ask
YOU how much flesh you have lost
since you left the white house?'' Mr..
Taft was asked.
Not at ALL" he answered, with his
famous big smile, ''and ! am glad to
tell you to the fraction of pound.
On March when l left Washington
for Augusta l weighed exactly $40
pounds This morning l weighed my
self again and l tipped the scale at
exactly 270.S pounds, which shows
that in the months that have elapsed
since I ceased to be president l nave
lost exactly 69.2 pounds of flesh"
DO you feel better as a result?"
Never Felt Younger.
Indeed, do. 1 can truthfully say
that l never felt any younger in all
my life. Too much flesh is bad for
any man. 1t affects a man both phys
ically and mentally. When l left
Washington last March 1t was the end
of 20 years of almost continuous SER
vice for the government. It was in
1892 that took the oath as circuit
judge in the old Burnett house in
Cincinnati. I then weighed 270
pounds, just my present weight. And
now, after nine months as a private
citizen, l am back again at the old
1892 figures, and I certainly feel fit
and fine as result.
when I reached Augusta the re-
action after all those years of hard
work was most pronounced, to put
it mildly. ] was nervous and fretful,
and for perhaps a month I found it
hard to sleep. Then came the sec
ond and normal reaction, and l be-
gan to appreciate the blessings of a
1ong-needed rest"
How did you manage to reduce
your weight so appreciably?"
BY consulting a regular physician
and not a quack. would say to any
man or woman who is too fat to dc
his or her best, mentally and physi-
cally, and who is eager to get down
to weight, be careful how you &C
about it. A good doctor, one who
knows his patients strength ant
weaknesses. is everything.
Keep Away From Quacks.
For heavens sake keep ava!
from quacks, you burdened ones. D,

cross the state on the railroads run
ming thru Des Moines, for it could
there be seen from every one of them,
1t would also be conspicuous from far
east and west. At present, according
10 landscapes. the chief trouble with
the monument is that it is SO close

il can not be regarded in all its
beauty
When the decision has been made as
TO the exact location for the soldiers

tail, also has a nature evidently par
taking Of the fiery spirit Of that bev-
erage. He came near licking one OF
the mine owners the other day, when
the latter was testifying before the
Senate committee Investigating the
West Virginia coal strike, and re-
cited some of the methods of dealing
with the striking miners. The mine
owners, who adopted such gentle
measures as running an armored
train through a mining town, from
both sides of which machine guns
were fired, regardless of whether
men, women or children were hit
