Out of Statesmen.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-"If the
United State Immigration authorities
attempt to bar Mrs. Emmeline Pank-

displaying woeful ignorance and mar
row mindedness."
This statement was made to-day by
Mrs. o. II, p. Belmont, a whose home
the famous militant suffragette viii
stay while in New York. Continuing
Mrs. Belmont said
Mrs Pankhurst is the most won
derful woman in the world to-day.
When l was in Paris, l saw her daily.
She and her daughters show such
pluck and courage as never con-
templated before. They have made
monkeys out of the strongest and
most famous statesmen in England.
They have made the English Govern
ment and King George the laughing
stock Of the world
why, the other day Premier As

that Glorious? He was afraid to ap-

WARNING ON MILK
BY STATE BUREAU.
Commissioner of Agriculture Price
Inaugurates Campaign for
Wholesome Supply in City.

Pure milk "dOn'ts" are being issu, j
by James D Price, Georgia Commits
sioner of Agriculture, in the effort TO
obtain a generally safe and whole
some milk supply. The first prOmul-
cation by the department is a bulletin
Of instruction to dealers and producers
who thus, il is announced may be
kept from violation Of the law.
Much Of the bulletin contains tech
niCal information, relative 10 percent
age of fat, bacteria count and tenn
perature But much of IT, on the other
hand. is a direct, plainly Ineligible
warning against careless handling,
filth and uncovered vessels,
The most emphatic don't" of all
concerns visible cleanliness of milk
Don't allow slight dirt Milk
should always be kept clean" states
the bulletin. IN reports from the
State laboratory, the report of slight
dirt is not infrequent. Ii this report
of slight dirt comes back constantly
it indicates carelessness. All dirt can
not he strained from milk, and the
only remedy is to prevent the dirt
from getting into the milk rather than
trying to remove it,"
The danger arising from bacteria in
milk is emphasized, and attention is
called to the fact that typhoid fever.
tuberculosis. diphrheTia. scarlet fever
and other dangerous diseases are in
many instances traced to impure milk.
"A high bacterial count will be
found If the milk has become badly
contaminated with filth, if it is kept
too warm, and If il is too old states
the bulletin. a high bacterial count.
therefore, indicates either excessive
temperature, excessive contamination
or excessive age, or a combination of
these factors If the bacterial count
is high persistently so, it indicates
that something is wrong
Apart from temperature, unsteTil-
lied milk vessels are probably the
greatest factor in producing a high
count II the dairyman has no live
steam at hand. he should do as well
as he can with hot water, and should
take occasion as frequently as possi-
BILE to get his milk vessels sterilized
The legal STANDARD of fat i'm this
State is 5.2j per cent If the farmer
has cows that give a poorer grade
than 3.25 per cent, he should get rid
Of them at once since they are UNI
profitable"
1t is likely that other bulletins on
this subject will be issued, in a sort
of series Subsequent messages will
be directed to consumers of milk.

Miss Koch. I'VE are seeking always
for the truth.
Certainly women of the South
would never indorse Mrs. Pankhurst's
militant methods. For one thing, il
would not be necessary, as our men
are not like the men of England. The
situation is different"
Mrs Z. A. Matthews, of Washing
ton terrace. another leader in suf-
frage work in Atlanta and through
the State would be glad to see Mrs.
Pankhurst in Atlanta.
All for Same Cause.
"She is working for the same cause,
and is the bravest fighter for that
cause" she said. Without indorsing
the extreme methods of the British
suffragists, we should gladly welcome
the opportunity to pay tribute to the
most interchangeable and fearless work
er in a noble cause and to hear her
story.
Her appearance, too, would help
the cause attracting attention to II

But, of course. we want the ballot,

each Southern Governor Mrs. Nc
Tendon displayed the letter, Of which
she is one Of the signers.
Ask Governors to Meeting.
We are asking the Governors Of
the Southern States to meet with us
in New Orleans, where a convention
Of the Suffrage Workers of the South
will be held November 10 and IL"
The letter is:
My Dear Governor: The under
signed women of the Southern States,
on the part of the suffragists of their
respective States, earnestly request the
Governors of the Southern States or
their representatives, to meet them in
conference in New Orleans, November
10-l1 to discuss and adopt a uniform
plan of action for the adoption of
woman suffrage in the South.
We are united in the belief that
suffrage Is State right and that the
power to define a States electorate
should remain in the executive right of
the State. However, we recognize
that woman suffrage is no longer a
theory to be debated but a condition
to be met. The inevitable votes for
women is a world movement, and un-
less the South squarely faces the is
sue and takes steps to preserve the
State right the force of public opin-
ion will make it mandatory through
a National Constitutional Amend
ment.
IN fact. the National Council of
Voters, consisting of enfranchised
women, has for its object the infiu-
encing of national legislation to Sc
cure the ballot for the women who
have not yet received ii. While as
Southerners we wish to see the power
of the State retained, yet as women
We are equally determined to secure
d. Oh paramount importance tl6 TlRII
which is the birthright of an Ameri-
can citizen.
Responsibility on Men.
We, therefore, appeal to youIgentle-
men vested with the power to SO large
~ shape conditions, TO confer with us
and influence public opinion to adopt
woman suffrage through State action
Failing to accomplish this, the Onus
of responsibility will rest upon the
men of the South, if Southern women
are forced to support national
amendment, weighted with the same
objections as the Fifteenth Amend
ment.

"She is our greatest champion. Sure

The purpose Of the kidneys being to
hitter the blood the question of treating
supposed kidney weakness should be con-
sidered carefully. Instead Of drugs and
alleged kidney stimulants the better plan
is to purify the blood with an antidotal
effect such as you get from 8. 8. 8.
1t should be remembered that the kid
neys are made up Of fine net work Of
blood vessels, and 1t is to stimulate tho
functional activity Of kidney tissue
through this capillary net work that
8. 8. s. shows one Of its most remarkable
effects
The medicinal value Of the components
. OF s. s. 8. are relatively Just as vital to
healthy kidney action as the nutriment
obtained from grain, meat, fats, sugars,
or any other part of our daily food Is to
the natural reconstructive requirements
OF the tissues. And there is one COM
ponent Of s. s. s. which serves the active
purpose Of stimulating the cellular tissues
Of the kidneys to a healthy and judicious
selection of its own essential nutriment.
Thus, In cases Of rheumatism, cystitis.
