GETTING IT ALL

The doctor told him that he needed
carbohydrates, proteids, and, above
all, something nitrogenous. The doe
tor mentioned long list of foods fp~-
him to eat. He staggered out and
wabbled into a restaurant.
.:How about beefsteak?" he asked
the waiter. '1s that nitrogenous?"
The waiter didn't know.
"Are fried potatoes rich in cafbo-
hydrates or not?"
The waiter couldn't say.
''Wel, I'll fix it" declared the poor
man, in despair. Bring me a large
plate of hash"

A POPULAR ROLE

rfsr-E tSE.o-hN hSGE
Mrs Rogers had the barrel of ru--
set apples placed in the attic, because
they were not quite ripe enough to
eat, and she warned her three boys,
whose ages range from to II, not
to touch them.
Then, one rainy day, when she
sought the attic to get Something
from a trunk, she came full upon her
sons, surrounded by apple cores. At
her approach two of the boys drew
closer together, but the third, little
distance off, who lay on his stomach
contsntedly munching an apple, ap-
parently paid no attention to his
mothers entrance.
Jack! Henry! Williew she ex-
claimed, reproachfully. Whatever
are you doing? And those apples!
Didn't l tell you not to touch them?"
Eyes, mamma" replied Jack, the
eldest; ''but we're not really eating
them. We're acting the Garden of.
Eden. Willie and are Adam and Eve,
and Henry, over there, is the serpent,
trying to lead us to our downfall t !

But" began the mother, as stern
ly as she was able, "you two must
have been eating apples. Henry has
not done it all. | see as many as ten

EPIDEMIC DON'T TOUCH EN-
WHAT EXPERIMENTS IN REGARD
TO TOBACCO USERS PROVE.
''Weed'' Destroys Bacilli of Penumo-
mia and Asiatic Cholera, and Also
Prevents Nasal CatalTI.

A London physician has risen to
the defense of tobacco. For hundreds
of years it has been berated on all
sides. Now it is claimed that tobac-
co is a disinfectant and that smokers
do not suffer from epidemics. Dur
ing severe cholera epidemic in
Hamburg, Germany, not single
workman engaged in the large cigar
factory in that city was attacked by
the disease. Members of their fam
lilies might be i'll and die, but they
themselves were immune. Even If
they did not smoke they were still
protected by the constant contact
with tobacco. Women, too, who
worked in the factory were spared an
attack of the epidemic.
Recent experiments have proved
that tobacco smoke destroys the ba-
cilli of pneumonia as well as Asiatic
cholera and there is some evidence
to the effect that tobacco smoke is
preventive of some forms OF naSal ca
tarrh. A certain scientist in England
has suggested smokehouses in infect
ed localities, where people could be
shut up for limited time and thor
oughly smoked.
1t is a we'll known fact in domestic
economy that furs put away with to-
bacco are never touched by moths.
On shipboard it is a curious thing
that the germ of sea sickness does
not attack the smoker. He walks
the deck wrapped up in cloud of
backs. Tobacco, the physician
smoke, while all others are on their
explains, contains pyridin, which is
recognized in medicine as a powerful
germicide and is used both in asth-
ma and diptheria.
OF course all this applies to mod
crate smoking. Excessive smoking
absolutely alters the case. This
weakens the system and lays it open
to the attack of any passing germ.

SAYS THERE'S NO PENALTY
United States Judge Says No Convic-
ton Can Be Secured Under
the Webb Act.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. THAT NO con-
viction can be secured under the pro-
visions of the Webb act was the
statement of Judge E. T. Sanford in
mis- charge to the federal grand jury.
The Webb act was delineated as an
act that had no power to infiict a
penalty, and no conviction could pos
sibly be secured under its provisions.
It's chief worth was stated to be that
it removed from interstate shippers
of liquor the protection of federal
legislation and gave the states great
er freedom in enforcing their respect

WITH HOLE THROUGH
BODY NAN RECEIVERS
Young McCranie, Whose Body Was
Pierced by Stick of Timber, on
Road to Recovery.

MOULTRIE, Ga.-Charlie MeCra-
ME, the young white man whose body
was pierced through and through
about three weeks ago with piece
of timber measuring j " by g inches,
is still living and is on a fair road to
recovery, according to report from
his home yesterday
His case in many respects is con-
sidered one of the most remarkable
that has ever come to light in this
section of the country. When physi-
slams who had been summoned ar
rived on the day of the accident and
found that the scantling had been in
his body for more than two hours
and that it had penetrated through
and through and projected forty
eight inches beyond his back, plough
ing hole through his abdomen large
enough to put ones arm through,
they held out little hope for life even
long enough to perform the operation
necessary to remove the piece of tim
Der.
But the man lived through the
operation, and when the anaesthetic
was dying out and his sleepy, be-
numbed brain began to take cogni-
zance of life once again McCranie
believed that he would not die And
since then he has been slowly but
steadily improving.

TO CALL SENATOR ELECTION
GEORGIA VOTERS CERTAIN TO
REFLECT SENATOR BACON.
He Is the Democratic Nominee, and
Probably viii Have No OPPOSE
ton at the Polls.

Indications now are that the
Georgia legislature will call an cleo
ton for United States senator almost
as soon as it assemblies, and that 1t
will make provision to have the cleo
ton held and the returns sent in be-
fore it's adjournment, somewhere
about the middle of August.
This will be the first election OF
United States senator by the people
called under the recently adopted
amendment to the national constitu-
ton, and it comes about as the result
of the fact that the change in the
time of meeting of the Georgia leg
islature makes it impossible for it to
elect senator until some three
months after his term begins.
The friends of Senator Bacon
have considered his case from every
viewpoint, and have practically
reached the conclusion that the best
thing for the legislature to do under
the circumstances is to call an early
election and get the returns in before
its adjournment AS the session lasts
only so days this will have to be
done quickly, but so far as known
there will be no objection raised.
Certainly Senator Bacon will have
no democratic opposition, since he
has been declared the party nominee
as the result of last years primary.
And there has been comparatively
little talk of opposition from other
sources. Altogether the election of
Senator Bacon by the people will be
about as much of a formality as is
the usual state election following a
primary
Senator Bacon is now holding his
office under appointment by the gov
ernor for the interim term, and will
continue to so hold it until the cleo
ton has been held and the result
declared by the legislature.

during the war between the states
responded for the last time to their
regimental calls.

Several veterans were exhausted
by the trying ordeal of today's
march, but at a late hour no addi-
tional deaths had been reported.
Scenes tonight at the railway sta
ton brought tears to the eyes of Wis
itors who were returning to their
homes after attending the reunion.
Aged soldiers when parting clasped
each other in warm embraces and ut
tered fervent prayers that they would
meet again at the next reunion. Many
were so feeble they could scarcely
clamor aboard the trains, but willing
hands assisted them.

WASHINGTON Within a few
weeks William Lorimer will an
nounce his candidacy for United
States senator from Illinois. He has
made up his mind to run at the re-
publican primaries next April.
Already he has notified close
friends here and in Illinois of his de-
cision and a preliminary organization
has been started with the object in
view of electing Mr. Lorimer in No
vember, 1914
Advance news of the Lorimer can
didacy has been brought to United
States Senator Lawrence Y. Sher-
man, against whom Mr.. Lorimer will
contend. The seat for which they
will be candidates is the one Mr..
Sherman now occupies and the one
from which Mr.. Lorimer was custed
by the senate after two trials.
Although there have been reports
cr Mr.. Lorimer's intention of enter
ing the fight for the senatorship def
mite decision was reached only re-
Gently. Mr.. Lorimer had considered
waiting for six years to fight for the
seat of ). Hamilton Lewis, He want
ed to give his friends an opportun-
nifty to rebuild their organization.
His friends, however, have insisted
that he go before the republicans and
later before the people to get back
the seat which the senate said was
rightfully his on one vote and from
which it separated him on second
vote. They have told him that in six
years the issues he will raise will be
forgotten.
Mr.. Lorimer will stump every
county in Illinois. 1t is his intention
to put the United States senate on
trial. He will raise the issue that
the first verdict in his case, which
was favorable to him, was just YER
dict, and that the second verdict was
one which was wrung from the SEN
ate by coercive methods which were
potent enough to influence even for
mer President Taft to forget that the
senators we're supposed to be judges
and use the power Of ais office to in
fiuence votes.
He will call on the people OF llli-
nois to review the evidence in the
famous case and to pass verdict on
the facts in reversal of the Judgment

Sailing THE BABY.

Superstitious Custom Is Still Prac-
ticed in Various Parts of World.
An old superstition is that if new
born baby is carefully and abundant
ly sailed he will be strong and hardy
when he grows up and moreover that
evil spirits will never be able to pur-
sue him. And this custom is still
chung to in various parts of the
world, though the method of pro-
cedure is different with different peo-
pies
In certain parts of Russia, espe-
cially among some of the Armenian
settlements, the sailing of an infant
is an occasion of great celebration,
an event in the life of the youngster
which is going to influence the whole
of his life. The baby is rubbed we'll
with fine salt, which is left on for
about five hours, and during that
time songs are sung food and drink
partaken of, and all the relatives and
friends join in the celebration. If
this ceremony is neglected bad luck
is certain to follow the child even to
the last years of his life.
Mountain tribes of Asia Minor in
dulge in the same belief. though with
them the baby is generally left from
thirty to thirty-fve hours in the salt
The longer the duration of time the
better chances for good fortune has
the infant.

ATLANTA.-Should a man be
compelled to walk from his Office to
the bar and lean up against the coun-
ter when he wants a bottle Of beer?
Atlanta's city council answered
this question this week in the mega
tive.
1t seems that there was kink in
the old ordinance which made it I'M
lawful for barkeeper to send out
by his "Ganymede" a cold bottle OF
beer or a pail of suds" and collect
on delivery. 1t was all right If the
man in his office sent his porter to
the bar with the cash, but it made
difference when it was going in the
other direction accompanied by G.
o. D.
Now there are a lot of Atlanta cit
liens who are not sufficiently affiu-
ent to employ their own porters, but
they have telephones and it is easy
to call up the near beer bar on the
corner and ask to have cold bottle
sent over C. o. D. This thing had
been going on from time immemo-
rial. and nobody raised any object
ton to it until the other day when
Recorder Broyles fined negro mes
.senger for delivering a bottle of beer
g. o. d.
The city council at once took cog
nizance of the matter. Here was
clearly an unjust discrimination
which ought to be removed without
any further delay. Considering that
the man unable to employ his porter
had equal rights with the more afflu-
ent council formally passed an ordi-
nance legalizing the delivery of beer
-so-called near-beer--cash on deliy-
cry.
This settles the matter and there
will be no more interference with tel
ephone orders.
