CARROLTON DOCTOR
FAILS To APPEAR
WHEN CASE CALLED

Oh LIE Wis, NHU WAS ARRESTED
IN AN ATLANTA HOTEL IN COM.
PANY WITH A YOUNG GIRL FOR.
FEITS BOND
Atlanta, Dec. 4.-Rather than stand
trial on the sensational charges
brought against him, DR.. NJ w. Lewis
of Carrolton, the well known physic-
ian, failed to appear in Atlanta
yesterday afternoon, when his case
was called in the criminal court, and
his bond was consequently forfeited.
The bond was signed by R. L..
Lyons, and it is not yet known wheth-
er or not Mr.. Lyons will make any eff
fort to have DR.. Lewis re-arrested.
1t will be recalled that about Two
weeks ago, the original bondsmen for
DR.. Lewis, withdrew their bonds, caus-
ing the re-arrest of the physician at
that time in Atlanta. Immediately af-
terward, however, DR.. Lewis, secured
the new bondsman
DIR. Lewis was arrested in an Atlanta
hotel few weeks ago in company
with Miss Effie McCalmon, a patient,
with whom he had come to Atlanta.
The girls father, prominent farm
er of Carroll county, was anxious to
push the prosecution, and both he and
the woman were in court yesterday.
No representative of the doctor was
present.

In Any Form of Blood
Trouble the Cure is Rapid.
.iouS blood

An astonishing record Of serious blood
poisoning is daily brought to our attention.
And most If not all these startling
calamities could be averted were the blood
primed, toned and purified in advance by
that wonderful remedy known everywhere
as s. S. S. Few people realize how quickly
the system becomes infected with the acids
and ferments from undigested food, con-
stipation and inactive kidneys.
The symptoms are fever, thirst, excit-
ability, dry skin followed by rash, and
many indications wrongly diagnosed as
Ptomaine poisoning. This condition is al
most universal in all climates and Is
quickly overcome by the action of S. s. S.
The medicinal properties of s. S. S. are
relatively just as ESSENTIAL to well balanced
health as are the nutritive properties OF
the meats, grains, fats and sugars of our
daily food. And If you will bear this fact
in mind and get your blood under the
dominating influence of S. s. S. you Will
not only drive out those impurities that
cause Rheumatism, Catarrh, Eczema, Pm
PIES Boils and thin anemic blood, but you
will feel anew the thrill Of health that
can come only from purified blood stream.
Do not accept anything else in place OF
s. s. s.: pay no attention to the Just as
Good" claims of those who would sacrifice
your health to make an extra profit. s.

GEORGIA FARMERS HAVE
ALFALFA ON The BRAIN
More Alfalfa Planted This Year Than Ever. Fewer
Failures viii Occur By Reason of Adoption Of Well
Tested Modern Methods Says President SOule

Athens, Ca, Dec. More alfalfa has
been planted in Georgia this year than
ever before, according to President
A. M, Soule, of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture. He says that
while there will be some failures and
disappointments, he believes that mo re
farmers have prepared intelligent
and will succeed on that account than
ever before.
DR.. Soule has had twenty years of
experience in growing alfalfa, first in
Texas, then in Tennessee, then in Vir-
GINA, and finally in Georgia, and has
therefore grown the crop under a
great variety of conditions, and alway S
successfully.
Speaking of what the College of Ag-
riculture is doing in encouraging the
growing of the crop, Dr. Soule says
that the college is advocating the
growing of alfalfa by methods that
insure success. He says that it has
been apparent that Georgia farmers
would catch the alfalfa craze faster
than they would acquire correct infoc-
nation about how to grow it. There
fore, many failures have already re-
suited in convincing farmers that there
are some things to be learned before
alfalfa can be successfully grown il
all parts of the state.
DR.. Soule says that inquiries are
pouring into the college, asking how
to grow alfalfa. When instructions
have been followed a large measure of
success has resulted.
The success which the college has
had in growing alfalfa has attracted
o great deal of attention. Members OF
the legislature, hundreds of farmers
who have visited the college farm and
the many thousands who saw the strik-
ing exhibit at the fairs have been
agreeably impressed.
The most striking lesson of the co..
lege's experiments has been the diff
ference between inoculated and unin-
oculated plots. President Soule holds
that nothing is more important to the
success of alfalfa than incubation.
Five Cuttings Obtained.
Five cuttings were made from the
college plat in 1913. The total yield
of cured hay from the inoculated tract
was 1-2 tons to the acre, while from
the uninoculated only 3.44 tons per
acre were obtained.
An interesting phase of the expert
ments OF the college has been the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-12-05

f., spread of incubation from the plot
where incubation existed TO the ad-
joining plot not inoculated Those
who visited the plots were easily con-
WINGED that this was taking place, the
line to which the incubation had pro-
crossed was very marked. That por-
ton of the tract which the inocula-
ton had not reached when the droutn
of August came, died down.
DR.. Soule is convinced that most
Georgia soils require lime to make
alfalfa growing profitable, while green
manuring is equally important.
S peaking about the preparation of
the soil, DR.. SouIe said that work be-
gan at the college two years befo.
planting when crop of cowpeas we e
turned under, tons of manure were
applied and some commercial fertilizer.
Early in the autumn, oats and vetch
were planted These were turned I'M
der the following spring. Caustic lime
was then applied at the rate of a ton
to the acre. Again tons of manure
were scattered and the land was than
allowed to lay fallow until October. 1t
was broken to a good depth by an ex-
ira large turning pillow and previous
to planting 500 pounds of 1884 fertil-
izer was applied The alfalfa was
seeded at the rate of 20 pounds per
acre. A good stand was obtained. The
first cutting was obtained April 30,
the second June IA, the third July II,
the fourth August 2S, and the last
October 3.
, To take care of an alfalfa patch af-
ter it is established, DR.. Soule says,
is important. The plant is a heavy
feeder on soil fertility. Since it is a
legume it obtains a good deal of nj
trogen from the air Acid phosphate
should be applied at the rate of 200
to 400 pounds per acre and even then
the soil must be looked to to supply
a part of this essential element
Alfalfa feeds heavily upon potash.
Granting that the soil supplies half
of the required amount, DR.. Soule says
that there should be added to the soil
of the alfalfa patch each year from 300
to 500 pounds Of kainit or 100 poun s.
of muriate of potash, when The alfalfa
is producing at the rate of 1-2 tons
of cured hay per year.
A top dressing of well-rotted manure
once a year will be advisable and it
may even be profitable to apply some
nitrogen in the form of soda, cotton
seed meal, blood or tankage.

MEMPHIS WOMAN DID MANS

HER FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD
ARRESTED BY POLICE

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 3.-Arrested

q second time when clad in male at
tire. Mrs. May Harris is in quarters
of Matron Anna Fell at Central po-
lice station, awaiting disposition of
her case by Chief of Police Hayes.
The plucky little girl-woman, 10,
the mother of a child of five years,
clipped off her brown locks, donned {.
suit of mems clothes and took a JOB
working in a levee camp. All this
was for the sake of her child in St.
Peters orphan asylum, she says.

Mrs. Harris, pointing to her suit of
mems clothes, had 1 been able to get
a woman's work at mans wages. 1
couldn't live on 81 or S. a week, so
got the honorable jobs wherever
could find them"
Mrs. Harris successfully portrayed
the part of a boy at the diaries of VIII
liam Briggs, Major Hyatt and other
places near Memphis. Though she was
i'll in bed week or more at one place
and the son of the proprietor waited on
her, it was never discovered that she
was a woman.

harshness she has cultivated voice
of deep tone. She smoked cigarettes

but II years old. Her husband, she
says, roomed at her mothers house

Words Across The Sea

Those Delewareans who are in
doubt relative to the wisdom and
fairness of establishing a ten-hour
work-day for women and girl wage
earners in this State should read
the following words carefully:
"The American nation will have
lost considerably by having utiliz-
ed in the production of mere mater
ial wealth the best years of a great
part of it's available womanhood,
when the nation itself is so much in
need Of sons and daughters born
under the flag and reared in the
traditions Of all that has made the
United States progressive, power
ful and enduring.
The man who penned those
words is Sir ThoI2cy Oliver, the
leading authority on work and
health that we have in the English
speaking world today. When the
fight on the constutionality of leg
islation prohibiting night work by
women was before the United
States Supreme Court, Sir Thomas
book, "Trade Diseases" was cited
fourteen times in the court pro-
ceedings, and the constitutionality
of legislation prohibiting night
work was upheld. 1t was after he
had spent six weeks in studying the
conditions of women and girl wage
earners that he penned the words
quoted above. They should sink
deeply into the mind of everyone
who has any regard for American
womanhood and girlhood.
