TOOK MERCURY TABLETS
Macon, Ga, May 21.-That B. San
ders Walker, the young banker who
took bicIoride of mercury in place of
aspirin tablets, has lost his splendid
fight against death is indicated by
the fact that his physicians have
abandoned all measures save those
to ease his sufferings.
He, himself, would welcome the
end to his suffering. How much
longer?" he asked, on awakening to-
day, and then relapsed into Uncon-
seriousness before attendants could
answer He is so weak that talking
is an effort, and his pulse mounted to
12S this morning.
The sweating process, devised by
physicians with the hope of carrying
through the pores the poison which
has saturated his system was aban-
doned, it being apparent that its con-
tinuation would only further weaken
the patient.
1t is the general belief that he will
meet the death he now desires with
in few hours.

LONDON ADMIRES
WILSON'S ADDRESS
But Doubt He Can Put All His
Reforms Into Effect

London, March while paying
lot of admiration to the earnest and
lofty tone of President Woodrow Will
sons address, the London morning pa
pers express doubt that he will sue
coed in translating it into practical
politics.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Presi-
dent Wilson has plucked the string Of
pure idealism whose sound may De
pleasant in the ears of his country
men. But if congress is to join in
the work of reform it will probably
be in response to irresistible move
ments in the nation itself rather than
in Difference to the desires expressed
by the president. Whatever happens
however, his presidential term is Ger.
tain to be a remarkable and vivid
period in the modern development Of
the United States"
The Morning Post says: ut remains
to be seen whether President Wilson
is a great statesman. But at least it
may be said that his address has
statesmanlike qualities. Its thesis Is
10 less remarkable because not pugna-
cious. 1t strikes a new note in Ameri-
can politics of what over here we call
! social reform"
The Graphic says: every thoughtful
man will wish the president good luck
Echoes of his noble address will bring
to the old world of ours in it's mad
pursuit, international uncharitablenes
and bloated schemes and military holo-
causts, welcome reminder of better
things and manlier striving"
The Daily Mail, discussing President
Wilson's address, thinks perhaps 1t
conveys to the average mind somewhat
too black an impression of modern
American conditions, but says:
zone fact, at least, clearly appears;
the era of free competition is over In
the United States, and the day of gov
eminent control of industry is at hand
There is an American parable: Each
for himself, as the elephant said when
he danced among the chickens That
principle may be very salutary and
comfortable for the elephant, but
henceforth the American government
will think mainly of the chickens"
The Daily News says of the address
ut has brevity, a tautness, a finish
unknown to Roosevelts long rambling
recoco pamphlets and to Taft's color
less unindividuaI utterances. Mr. VII
son has set before his fellow citizens
fine ideal and has indicated to them
the road by which it is to be pursued
but no man., not even though he be-
president of the United States, can
carry through so immense a task
alone. The president will need all the
Jealous cooperation of his political
friends and all the support and fnspir-
alton which a sympathetic nation can
give its statesmen"
The Daily Chronicle says: "Presf-
dent Wilson's address is a striking ex
preston Of that elevated democracy
which too long has been absent from
high politics. When some Of the
greatest nations of the world seem to
be making mockery of humanity, his
clarion call should echo far beyond the
shores Of his country and bear fruit.
The United Etates must be most heart
lily congratulated on having such
rae democrat, such fearless states
nan at its head"

SECRETARY'S REPORT is
In HANDS OF PRINTER
Cook Wants FirG.PrOOf Cab
inGtS for Records

Atlanta, March TN his annual re-
port now in the hands of the printer,
Secretary of State Cook will urge up
on the lawmaking body of the state
the imperative necessity of providing
fire and dust proof cabinets in his
Offices to care for the priceless records
there.
Attention has been called to this
time and time again in the press and
in reports of the secretary, but ap-
parentely no one pays much attention
to it.
But all necessary to impress the
necessity for some action along th,s
line is for the members of the legisla
ture to examine the records here an
see how they are rapidly disintgra.-
ing under dust and exposure en- the
open shelves in the department
Many old records which could not
be replaced if destroyed, are fairy
falling to pieces from age, exposure
to dust and handling. Unless these
are protected in fire and dust-proof
cases within short time they will be
lost to the state The cost of provid-
ing the cases would not be excessive,
but at any rate it is something that
should be done and done at once.

ture of the island schools. The Amerl-
cans have carefully studied the posi-
bilities of the valuable raw materials
abundantly at hand in the islands and
are able to show the Filipinos how to
make the most of them, Every Filipino
school boy is required to do certain
amount of work. with native woods and
fibers; everyone must learn to till the
soil by actually doing it in the school
garden and in a plat of his own; and
every Filipino school girl is taught GER
tain essentials of sewing and other
home-making arts. All the children
in the schools are obliged to pass
through this period of elementary
training in the everyday tasks of life.
Most significant in the scheme of in
dustrial education is the rectnt estab-
lishment of the Philippine School Of
Household Industries. Two hundred
women from different parts of the is
lands were brought together at Manila,
shown how to adapt their native skill
in embroidery and lace-making to the
demands of foreign markets, and then
sent back to their homes to form CEN
tiers of industrial progress in their own
communities. The government has es-
tablished a sales agency to dispose of
the commodities thus produced, and
so far the demand has greatly exceed
ed the supply. One Filipino woman
who was trained in the new school
has 500 women working under her
and is receiving from firms in the
United States orders for thousands Of
embroidered shirtwaists and handker-
chiefs. The beautiful pima cloth, made
from pineapple is one product to which
special attention is paid. Before the
americans came this cloth sold TO"
from 10 to SO cents a yard; the de-
mand for it is now such that it brings
from $3.50 to $500 a yard
