Two wagons. one loaded with crates

CITY WILL AVERT
NEW TRAGEDIES,
SAYS DOCTOR
Atlanta Aroused to Peril by
Death of Clarence Bigby
From Meningitis.

DR.. c. F. Benson declared to-day that
the lesson in the tragic death Of ut
tie Clarence Bigby. barred from the
hospitals while meningitis Slapped his
life. had been so forcefully impressed
on Atlanta that similar tragedies would
be averted in the future
such d regrettable thing is impossi-
BILE now in Atlanta. The authorities
and the doctors are reused to the sit
uation which obtains, and 1t can not be
tolerated" said DR.. Benson.
Since the facts have become known.
many have commented upon the ne
cessity of the city providing a place in
which cases of cerebro- spinal meningi-
tbs may be treated and properly isolat-
ed, although they have deplored the
tragedy which appeared necessary to
teach the city this need
The disease was allowed to run its
brief and tragic course at the Rescue
Mission, in Marietta street, where
scores Of persons were exposed before
the room was quarantined, and the lad
lay for a week raving in a delirium,
with no care or nursing save that given
by his grief-stricken mother and by
the physician, whose visits necessarily
were short
It was after nlghtfall Saturday that
the sad little group OF mourners made
their way out Of Westview cemetery a
few hours after the disease had taken
its toll OF life. Money contributed by
sympathetic persons at the mission and
IN the neighborhOod provided the rough
pine box in which the body OF the boy
was placed and bought the lot where
the burial took place.
The family, which was almost penni-
less before the tragedy came upon it, is
in even worse circumstances now. The
father has obtained work, but there are
still large bills to pay. The furniture.
which was brought from Macon two
weeks ago, IS in storage, with S26 due
upon it. For their humble quarters in
the mission which they took until they
were able to afford renting small
home. Mr.. and Mrs Bigby are in debt.
Only through the charity of philan-
thropic organizations has the family
been able to get enough food to fend
off starvation. The future holds any
thing but pleasant outlook

EyeIeSS Fish Used by
Scientist TO Prove His
Reincarnation Theory
Sixth Sense Possessed by Nam
moth Cave Sightless Species,
Says Montclair Man.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Eyeless fish
from the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky
are to be dissected by Harry Trippett
town clerk Of Montclair, y. j. at a
meeting Of the Montclair Board OF
Health. in an effort by Mr. Trippett to
demonstrate his theory of the existence
of Second sight"
The pituitary gland, Mr. Trippett
said, was responsible for the existence
of a sixth sense in some people, and he
believes it exists more or less in every
human being,
Mr.. Trippett says that the eyeless
fish that exist in the Mammoth Cave
have this pituitary body in highly de-
veloped form Through the United
states government he recently obtained
two of these eyeless fish, which he dis
sected to confirm his belief that the
large pituitary gland Of the fish is re-
sponsible for their powers OF percep-
ton under physical handicap.

CRY
KILLS PEACE
On TARIFF
Democratic Senator Complains
That the Measure Has Been
Ruined by Trading.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Desplte
every effort to make it appear that the
president and the members of the new
ways and mean committee of the house
are working in accord. the cold, unvar-
nished fact is that the tariff harmony
plan so carefully wrought out has al
! ready gone to smash.
Democratic senators have protested
to the president that the tariff that vii!
be submitted 20 the house caucus on
April 3, is nothing short of pro
lection grab"
Frightened by this project. Mr.. I'm
derwood las issued a statement. that
reports concerning the work done by
the committee are based on scant in
formation and are misleading. This
statement has served only to pour oil
on the fire.
Split in Committee.
The fact is that three or four mem
oers of the committee have got away
from Mr.. Underwood and are clamor-
ing for a tariff that shall embrace
sweeping reductions.
Mr.. Underwood knows that no such
! tariff can set through the senate. He
knows that already an alliance has been
| formed between the reactiOnary and
progressive Republicans to send any
drastic tariff to the waste paper basket
and that the Democrats from at least
two states-Louisiana and Colorado
will vote against any tariff bill that
tinkers with the duty on sugar.
1t has been learned that every mem
Der of the committee has been careful
ly taking care of his own constituents,
and that trading has been going on to
an extent seldom heard Of before.
For example, it is stated that Ham
mond, Of Minnesota. has got protec-
tive duty on grain; Shackleford, Of
Missouri a duty on wool, zinc and
lead; Palmer. of Pennsylvania (who
was the presidents friend till he was
left out Of the cabineO, duty on coal;
Garner. Of Texas, a duty on mohair,
cattle and onions.
Wilson Must Adjudioate.
Now. this tariff which, despite all
reports. has not been submitted to the
president, will be put up to him for
adjudication before it goes to the eau
Gus, and human nature being what il
is. it will be impossible for him tt
make a decision that will not start q
row.
To permit the session to labor al
summer and bring forth a tariff mouse
will be seriously to impair the Wilson
prestige.
All Mr. Wilson's friends save Mr..
Bryan are concerning themselves with
the situation and trying to straighten
il out before the work of congress &C
tually shall begin. But none of them
up to date has had any luck.
Within the next three weeks matters
may be amended, but the present out
look Is that an all-summer session Will
be devoted to producing a tariff that
will satisfy nobody or that the session
will have been called in vain.

Well drained, mellow, sandy loan is

your best plan will be to excavate

soil fine, but not necessarily as fine
as seed bed, except right around the
roots. Do this the latter part of
April or the first of May.
Next dig trenches or hills deep
enough to bring the crown of the
plants eight inches below the surface
Of the ground. Have these rows IL

IL inches apart In the rows. Cover
them with few inches of we'll packed
earth and then put on stable manure
until just the tip of the stalk is visible.
Keep the patch hoed and fill the
trenches in as the plant grows until
the whole bed is level. Do not put
manure directly about the roots.

Growing Tomatoes.

The middle Of May finds most of
the tomato plants in the garden. The
man who was wise enough to grow
his own plants in hot bed will have
ripe fruit quite long while before his
neighbor, who has to depend upon
half-dried, discouraged seedlings from
a department store.
Still, by insisting upon getting the
best plants you can buy, big sturdy
fellows, with lots Of leaves and roots
full of water, you can do very well
with purchased tomato plants. Do
not secure them until you are all
ready to plant and get them in the
ground as soon as possible.
AS usually handled, the amateur
gardener gets a double crop of foliage
and half crop Of ripe tomatoes. The
fruit splits, rots at the ends and a
large part of 1t fails to color up and
ripen before frost catches 1t.
The purpose of this article is to tell
how to avoid these troubles and Sc
cure twice as much ripe, sound fruit
with no more trouble. It is a simple
secret. but few seem to know 1t.
Tomatoes need a rich, deep, rather
heavy soil, we'll fertilized. Muriate
of potash is an excellent fertilizer, as
Is also steamed ground bone. Use
handful to each. pint
Spade and cultivate as for garden
crop and drive in strong stakes about
five feet long, placing them two feet
by four feet. Set one plant four inches
from the south side of each stake,
covering the roots firmly and soaking
the soil with water after setting.
Allow only three branches to grow
on each plant. and tie them to the
stake with strips of cloth. When they
reach the top Of the stake, prune
them back. II smaller quantity of
the very finest and largest tomatoes
are preferred, allow but one main
stem to develop. Keep the branch
ends clipped as soon as the plant has
attained good size. and all of its en-
ergy will then go into making toma-
toes.
Now comes the secret! Where a
side branch leaves the main stem is a
fork in which the fruit develops. In
same place little shoots appear. Pinch
out these shoots as fast as they grow
and you cannot fail to get magnificent
tomatoes. Do not plant one OF the
tree varieties. but select a smooth.
even. meaty type like Matchless.
Stone, and many others OF their kind.
