SEVERAL Battle IN
The SURF At TYBEE
Mild Weather Draws Large
Crowds

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 28.-"Surf bath
ing in January" is a catchy sentence
that the railroads and hotels can now
include in their advertisements of Sa-
vannah as a tourist center.
1t was very much like spring day
at Tybee yesterday. A half dozen or
so people were in the surf, and they
didn't go in on bet or to attract at
tention. They did it because it was
warm and the water looked inviting.
The bathers were enthusiastic over
their mid-winter sport.
Every train to the island carried Il
large crowd. The train that returned
to the city at 6:45 o'clock carried sew
eral coaches and every one was fairly
well filled. A number of people went
down on the 10 o'clock train and spent
the day on the island. There were sew
eral picnic parties.
All of the resorts were we'll patron
ized. A big crowd was at Thunder
bolt in the afternoon and at night. The
attendance at the Isle of Hope was
also large.

 This officer had himself been suitor for the hand of the rich Sen uritu Valdez and had been dismissed in favor of the lieutenant colonel of the rural guard. With true Mexican spirit he halted the escaping girl and ph.ced her under arrest. Then he proceeded to make love to her.
 With brutality in keeping with his character he informed her that her husband was already dead or would be in a very few minutes and sug- gested that now that she WAS widow and heir to the fortune of Mendoza which coupled with her own would make her one of the richest women in Mexico that she marry him at once and both leave the country.
 Madam Mendoza indignantly rcfus- ed the suggestion of the rebel officer and thinking to frighten her he called Il number of soldiers and ordered them to place the supposed ofYicer against the wall of house and shoot him.
 Madam Mendoza never wavered az she faced the rifles of her execu- tioners and in sheer admiration for her courage the rebel officer was about to countermand the order to shoot when with Il clatter of hoofs th, in -chief, Villa. and his staff came around the corner of the street.
 Seeing an execution about to take place the general took charge himself and directed the firing squad. The woman's former lover tried to ~x- plain but Villa would not listen and it was not until after she lay deal riddled with bullets that her identity was discovered.

SHALL WE CHANGE THE PLAN3

The special city election is now a
matter of history and a successor to
Mayor ]. T. Maloney, resigned, has
been elected. The question now that
is squarely up to the people is, Shall
we go on in the same old ruts in which
the city government has run since the
town was Incorporated, or shall we
make change? Is it the best policy
for the mayor to go on with his reg
ular duties and the aldermen to pur-
sue their daily vocations, giving no at
tention to the city government except
at the one regular monthly meeting
and an occasional called meeting, or
should some other plan be adopted by
which the affairs of the city will have
more consideration?
Believing that the city has reached
a stage in its growth where an en-
larged and more direct city govern
ment is vitality and absolutely neces-
sary, The Eagle some time ago advo-
Gated the employment by the council
of a general manager to look after the
affairs of the city under the general
supervision of the council and be on
the job all the time. We are of that
opinion still, and since the bond issues
have carried providing for street paw
ing and enlarging the water system,
which entail an immense amount of
public work, we believe that such a
plan is more imperative now than ever
before.
Instead of employing a general man
ager, however, we believe the thing
to do would be to combine the duties
of a manager with the duties of the
mayor, and increase the salary of the
mayor to such sum as would justify
him in giving the office his entire
time. This would be better than hav.
ing mayor and a general manager
also, because it would be cheaper, and
for the further reason that it would

Senator Chas. A. Culberson prompt

appointment of COL R. NJ. Johnston by
Governor Colquitt to fill the unexpired

he hoped the legislature would prompt

One r. l.. Henry, who misrepresents

of Colonel Johnston and says the Leg

Bryan is just now undergoing the
transition from large town to little
city, and its government is of para
mount Importance 1t deserves the
wisest thought that can be given to
it, and a sleepless vigilance and at
tention. One false step might produce
results that would require years to
overcome.
The Eagle is not informed as to
whether or not Mayor Harris would
consent to such an arrangement, but
we believe him to be sufficiently pa
triotic, and so deeply impressed with
the service he is due the city as its
chief executive, that he would consent
to any reasonable sacrifice in order
that he might perform such service.
That it would be a sacrifice none will
deny, and the council should bear this
fact in mind when it comes to fix the
salary of the mayor in case he con-
sents to the arrangement outlined
above.
The Eagle hopes the council will see
its way to treat with Mayor Harris on
the proposition, and that such an ar
will be entered into.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DIR. 4. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist
DIET INSTEAD OF DRUGS.

More than fifty years ago, an
English physician, Or. Bennett,
wrote: "Of all the means of
cure at our disposal, attention
to the Quantity and quality of
the inzcsta is by far the most
influential" The importance of
diet in health and disease did
not entirely escape the attention
of the older physicians. Even
Hippocrates, the father of medi-
cine, laid great stress on diet,
his prescription for consump-
ton, particularly, being now es-
pecially noteworthy, on account
of its close approximation to the
modern treatment of that dis
ease. "Go to the hills and drink
goats milk" DR.. Wiley has
been reported in the newspapers
as saying that "the physician of
the future will use diet instead
of drugs" Dr.. Osler has, in his
latest work on medicine, classed
diabetes, rheumatism and sew
eral other diseases in the class
of nutritionaI diseases, requir-
ing diet as their principal means
of treatment. Diet is Indicated
in the treatment of nutritionaI
diseases because they are caused
directly by errors in diet, and it
must follow that they can be
prevented by proper diet.
