His Five Precepts and Five DOn'ts
viii Help You Endure the
Blazing Sun.
You can't regulate the weather, so

You can't regulate the weather, so
why not regula.- yourself?"
DR.. W. L. Summerall, superinten-
dent OF Grady hospital, asked the
question And in the next breath he
told a Georgian reporter it was en-
tirely practicable to mitigate the eff
fects of a scorching sun and stand
the heat without serious impairment
to ones mental, physical or spiritual
makeup.
Hot weather is something that
must be endured said he. You
can't change it, and unless you are
a millionaire you can't run away
from it. Cussin' the weather is as
futile as praying for rain or voting
the Republican ticket in Arkansas.
The only thing to do is to regulate
your habits; to take the hot weather
as a matter of course and counteract
the effects of the heat by your daily
actions"
DR.. Summeralrs advice on how to
stand the heat may be summarized
in five precepts and five "don'ts."
Here are the preCepts:
Take plenty of exercise.
Breathe fresh air.
Keep clean, inside and outside.
Diet yourself
Drink soft drinks"
Gives You Five Don'ts
The five don'ts, practically the same
as the precepts, stated inversely, are
the following.
Abstain from heavy and heat pro-
ducing foods.
Abstain from alcohol
Don't sit under a fan.
Don't sleep in a closed room.
Don't be lazy.
IF you come in my office at 8
o'clock any afternoon you would say
l didn't know how to stand the heat
myself DR.. Summerall said. But
it is a fact that the effects of a hot
day can be greatly lessened and that
too, without trouble expense or loss
of time"
Dr. Summerall proceeded to discuss
his idea, as follows:
This is the time of year when
your diet tells on you. Heavy and
heat producing foods will certain
ly make you feel the heat. By heavy
and heat producing foods l mean
meats. dried beans, and the like.
Fresh vegetables at this time OF
the year and the fruits of the season

The arrest of Newsome caused a

She was said to have gone to her

in view of alleged strained relations
between the couple. They came to
town and before the Coroners YER

Quit fighting; war is over" This
radio-telegram, addressed to Raour

of times to-day from every Turkish
wireless station in an effort to make
the cruiser discontinue its destruc-

the war is over or else, imbued with
the fighting spirit, he is determined
to keep up the war single handed
until stopped by force.
The only person in authority in the
Turkish navy VINO has strong infiu-

As if the Atlanta girls already were

touch to enhance their native charm

The wishing sash has just come to

fads or fashions that have resulted
from the quarrel over there in tho

tween officers of the law and three
alleged outlaws who have taken ref
uge in a swamp near Kirkland fol
lowing an attack on the crew Of an
eastbound Atlantic Coast Line freight
train running from Albany to Way
cross. The engine cab was riddled
with bullets and the hats of Con-
ductor Leroy McWhite, of Albany,
and Flagman J. W. Jennings. of Way
cross, were perforated by bullets. A
gang of five men made the attack.
Series of Thefts.
This attack followed a series of
daring train robberies and store
thefts in and near Waycross and at
Pearson. Only two arrests have been
made so far. that Of Jesse Carver,
who was lodged in Jail at Douglas
Friday, charged with having received
goods stolen from the Atlantic Coast
Line, and Edgar Carver, son of elder
Carver, who is held on suspicion of
having connection with those who
have committed the robberies. Ed
gar Carver, who is only % years old,
will aid the officers probably in their
efforts, to round up the gang of rob
berS.
Great excitement prevails here, for
a pitched battle is said to be certain
as the members of the gang are des-
perate and heavily armed. All the
members of the gang are believed to
be in hiding in a swamp known as
Roundup" near Kirkland.
Three of Gang Known.
Those known to have taken refuge
in this swamp are Randall Solomon
an escaped convict from BARREN
County, where he was serving a tif-
teen year sentence for arson; his
brother, Andrew Solomon, and John
Register, a white man, supposed to be
an army deserter. Other members OF
the gang are believed to be close al
hand and ready to give battle wher
arrests are attempted.
Chief G. O. GObels, of Savannah
was here with bloodhounds and has
gone to the scene of the shooting
with w e. Galley, Of Waycross. and
Sheriff ellis and deputies of Coffee
County. Atlantic Coast Line speCia
officers are aiding also in the search
for the gang. 1t is believed some
sensational arrests will be made
within the next few hours.

How to Withstand Hot Weather.

Regulate Yourself, He Advises

are mighty good. 1t is a part of ma
lures plan to furnish those foods at
the time we need them.
Il do not say abstinence from meats
is necessary, but simply that they are
heat producing, and there are plenty
of fruits and vegetables which are
not heat producing to such an extent.
Alcohol at this time of the year
is not going to benefit any one. Plenty
Of ChattahooChee water is my doc
trine. Mineral waters, and the car
bonic acid gas in soda fountain
drinks are always refreshing. They
promote healthful excretiOns from the
skin.
Exercise is always desirable. A
certain amount is necessary to get
rid of products that make you feel
bad. Exercise is necessary in the
hot summer time.
Bathing helps, because 1t stimu-
lates the skin. A good rubbing down
after a bath is fine
Swimming is good exercise-you
are working while you are in the wa
ter.
BE attentive TO your daily habits.
See that your digestive and elimina-
Fresh air Is necessary. A closed
room at night is deleterious, especial
ly at this time Of the year. A sleep
ing porch is n good thing. Circulation
of the air is desirable, but don't sit
under a fan for it might make you
sick.
No man can say Just how much
you mitigate the effects of hot
weather, but it is undoubtedly true
that by dieting, bathing and exerCis-
ing and careful attention to all daily
habits, any one can better withstand
the rigors of a hot day than the man
who eats anything and drinks any
thing and does anything he wants to.
Nobody can regulate the weather,
but anybody. to some extent, can reg
ulate himself, and If you regulate
yourself you regulate the effect of
the weather on yourself"
DIR. Summerall said the lean man
needed to watch himself as we'll as
the fat man, for the fat man might
| know how to take things easy bet
ter than the lean man"
THE high strung man, the nervous
man, the man who Is always in a
hurry. whom we might designate as
| the race horse type because he is
so energetic he passes everybody in
| front Of him, is liable in a way to
| feel the heat more than the languid
man who moves slowly and takes
| things easy. If the lean man would
| take things a little more moderately
and the fat man would take a little
more exercise and pay more attention
| to his daily habits, they would both
] stand the heat better"

PUBLIC COMFORT
HOUSE URGED
BY GREEN
Park Commissioner Explains Plan
for City to Erect Building
on Whitehall.

A public comfort building in the
heart Of Atlanta is a necessity and
will be erected il the ideas Of Park
Commissioner L. c. Green are carried
out.
Il shall take the matter up at the
next meeting Of the Park Board. and
believe they will recommend to
Council that a public comfort build
ing be erected in the heart Of the
business section for the benefit es-
pecially Of visitors.
An ideal place, in my opinion, is
at Peachtree and Wall Streets, on
the east side of the Whitehall Street
Viaduct. The structure could be
built on the same general plans of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad
office, giving ample room underneath
for the passage OF vehicles, and
would not interfere with traffic in
the least.
THE entrance would be from the
viaduct, and could extend as far back
as necessary. It would be some 20
feet from the nearest building, and
would not interfere with the steps
leading down from the viaduct. This
building could be erected without
cost to the city, and would be a
source Of revenue instead of an ex-
pense.
Would Be Good Investment.
Any business man in the soft drink
and cigar and tobacco line would be
glad to erect the building for the
rental for say. ten years, when it
would revert to the city. Such a
place would easily rent for from 5000
to $500 per month, and would be
good investment II the city were to
build IT,
MY Idea is that tho front of the
building be used for an entrance, with
a soda fountain and cigar stand, and
the rear be divided into two large
rooms, one FOR women and the other
for men. These rooms would be in
the care Of good servants, one woman
and one man, who would look after
| the comfort of the citizens and Wis
| itors and see that proper sanitary
| conditions prevail.
"These servants should be paid by
| the lessee of the building, relieving
| the city of any responsibility except
| that the purposes for which 1t was
| erected be carried out. OF course, it
| would be under the supervision of the
public buildings and grounds COM
| mittee of the Park Board, and the
! tenant be subject to removal II the
place was not conducted in a proper
manner.
Other ConVenienees Suggested.
81 would suggest that writing ia
! bles be provided and that visitors or
| residents could use them at their con-
venience, the lessee of course, carry
| ing in stock writing paper, envelopes
/ and stamps, the pens and Ink being
| furnished.
"A public stenographer could be
provided for, and every convenience
and comfort be given.
There are many other places and
plans that could be carried out, but
| believe the one above would be the
! best At any rate a building should
| be erected, and 1 intend to push the
matter as far as can, and l also be-
| lieve the public will join in the move
ment and that Council will provide
| the means"
