HAS Been CONFIRMED
After Delay Over PoStOffiCe
Matter

kilograms received in Americas yes
terday announced the confirmation by
the senate of the recent appointment
of Hon. Nathaniel B. Stewart as con-
sui at Milan. The appointment was
made several weeks ago by President
Wilson, but has been held up, along
with other appointments, because of
the controversy over the Gainesville
postoffice, which blocked such confirm
ations for the time.
The fact that his appointment hal
been confirmed by the senate has beel
cabled to Mr.. Stewart, who is now con-
sui at Durham, Natal, and the change
from the African to the European post
will soon be effected.
Consul Stewart is widely known in
Americas and in South Georgia, be-
ing a native of Schley county where he
was reared and resided until he went
to the state university for his colleg-
late course. He has realty interests
near Americas, and is held in high
esteem among many friends here.

FAUROT TELLS HOW

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Joseph A

over that crime and every detail con-
nected with it. reason the matter out
and then cross-dissect the results-all
the time looking for a hidden slip of the
criminal which will furnish a simple
but effective clue.
Il try to reason out what the mental
workings Of the criminal were, what he
thought as he planned and executed the
deed, and using this process Of deduc-

this course.

instructions to trace every sale entered

by him and not entered.
''The reporters could not get this IN

of the lack Of police authority.
"Our one important clue after days Of
tracing sales made by Sachs was the
bill Of goods sold to Schmidt. In that
sale was the telltale pillow slip.
1T did not require a Sherlock Holmes
to realize that the tracing Of that par
ticular sale might lead to q solution Of
the murder.

Cardinal Farley, who is at the st.

rest and the baths, said Of the
Aumuller murder case:
II am unspeakably shocked to
hear of this affair. If, when the
details are sifted to the bottom,
and no doubt rs to Schmidt's
guilt remains, he should receive
the most extreme penalty.
SAs to this man / know nothing;
in fact, I have never heard Of
him. The so.called ordination

1t is not the custom to doubt
the sincerity Of such credentials
when they are presented. All 1

Out of the old oaken bucket, instead

way to drink mineral waters. The
bottled variety is set down as a
..weakling' by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture through the
Bureau of Chemistry. which has just
issued a warning directed at the So
called radioactive mineral waters Of
fered for sale in bottles. The warn
ing says If the radioactivity of a
water in spring is 100. four days
after bottling it will be only So and
eight days later its strength will have
decreased to 10. 1t only takes a month,
says the Bureau of Chemistry. for the
water to lose practically all Of its
original strength.
The inysstigS,ioIs Of the bureaus
radiOactivity is possessed by the waters
at the spring is due almost entirely to
radium emanati0n rather than to the
presence in the water of any substance
possessing radioactive properties.
The Department Of Agriculture Is now
investigating a number of so-called ra-
dioactive waters with the object OF
procuring evidence that can be made
the basis of prosecution for misbrand-
ing In the past the department bull
letin reads. a number of mineral waters
made claim to curative properties which
they did not possess and succeeded i'll

sold extensively in America as magical
cures for all sorts of incurable or
chronic ailments. The Treasury De-
partment, acting in cooperation with
the Department Of Agriculture, now re-
fuses admission to foreign waters la
