AN EXPENSIVE OPERATION.
Elephants Bath Requires Services OF
Three Men and Costs $500.

An elephant in captivity is an ex-
pensive animal. For its bath alone
it costs $500. A trainer in speaking
on this subject thus describes the
expensive operation:
1T takes week to carry out the
process in every detail. 1t requires
the services of three men and costs
$500. This treatment IS necessary
for a show elephant and, if the ami
NAL is a valuable one. the proprietor
of the show does not consider the
money wasted.
THE first step consists of going
over the immense body with the best
soap procurable; $50 pounds of soap
is used. The elephants ears are es-
pecially attended to. When the
soaping and drying are completed the
elephant is well sandpapered, and
after that rubbed over with the pur-
est Indian oil until the mouse-gray
skin is supple and glistening.
This last finishing touch is the
most expensive part of the whole
bath. as it means the application of
about $3.50 worth of olive oil.

SUPREME COURT DECISION is
RENDERED IN MACON CASES.
Its Probable Effect on the Statewide

ATANTA.-Since the supreme

there has been a great deal of discus

A few days ago Seaboarn Wright

with a view of closing up breweries,
beer saloons and locker clubs.
Mr.. Wright, on his way for a brief
speaking tour of half a dozen South

planned to begin after the holidays,
and that he would speak on the en-

DECLARE UNION IMPOSSIBLE
Baptists' Message to Other DenOmi-
nations Say Only Possible Road
Is "Rack to the Scriptures"

DALLAS, Texas.-"The only posi-
BILE road to organic union of churches
is back to the Scriptures, fairly in
terpreted. If this is impossible in
our present condition organic union
is impossible with Baptists.''
This was the message to our
brethren of other denominations, -
unanimously adopted here tonight by
the Baptist General Convention of
Texas, said to represent a member
ship of six hundred thousand, in the
report of committee on church un-
ion.
The report asserted infant bap-
tism and infant church membership
constitute an impossible barrier to
organic christian union. Changes in
baptism and the sacrament also make
divisions.

not altogether. in harmony with that
organization.
A mass meeting was held here a
few Sundays ago at which resolutions
were adopted naming a law enforce
ment committee of twenty-five to de-
wise means and secure evidence to-
wards clamping the lid ,on in Allan
ia. Nothing has been heard concern
ing this movement since the meeting
at the Grand, and if the committee
has any plans it is keeping the same
under cover as yet.
AS the supreme court ruled that
accused violators were entitled to a
jury hearing it throws the situation
largely back where it has been all the
time.
1t was made clear that when a
man was found operating a blind
tiger in connection with a beer sa-
loon this fact did not necessarily
mean forfeiture of his license to sell
near beer The court did not rule
on what constitutes near beer"
1t is probable that this decision
may affect the plans for a general
campaign in the state. 1t is an ad-
mitted fact that such a campaign was
under way and by the new year there
would have been a great deal of agi-
tation in all parts of the state.
1t seems pretty clear now, how
ever, that until the law at least is
changed near beer can be sold when
dealers observe the laws as laid
down. 1t at least clears up the at
mosphere that far.

WORKING HENS OVERTIME.
Lights Up Fowl House and Increases

Avaricious poultrymen in England

How to Use PeruRa
for Coughs and Colds

If Peruna were used at the begin
ming of every cold, coughs would gen.
orally be prevented.
After the cough begins Peruna Will
generally stop it just as quickly as II
ought to be stopped. To stop cough
before all of the expectoratton mas
been removed is to do great injury.
After the expectoratton has been
properly removed the cough will stop
itself. That is the only proper way
to stop a cough.
Occasionally a cough depends upon
an irritable condition of the larynx
or bronchial tubes, in which there Is
little or no expectoration.
The problem of stopping such
cough is a slightly different one
Even in those cases Peruna ought &c
be taken, but sometimes it is neces-
sarv that local treatment be added.
Every one who has a troublesome
cough or lingering cold should write

GUN MEN STORM A CLUB
GANGSTERS' BAT

Many Wounded and Seven Arrested.
Fifty Shots Exchanged Before
Police Interference.

ROlIC6 interference.
NEW YORK.-One of the most
spectacular gun battles among gang
sters in this city in recent years was
fought at the doors of a club house
on the lower East Side late tonight.
Three men were seriously shot and
many others wounded. Seven were
arrested after police reserves finally
dared to break up the fight.
Gangsters crouched behind trees,
ash barrels and other distractions
opened fire on the club house. Men
within sprang to the doors and win
dows and answered the attack. Fifty
shots were exchanged while detect
ives blew their whistles for aid.
When the revolvers were emptied
the police charged the club house.
They met with no resistance. The
gangsters in the street fed.
One mans eye was shot out. An
other is dying from bullet wounds in
the back. A third was shot in the
legs, which will be amputated in an
effort to save his life.
Many men escaped over the roo,
carrying their wounded with them.
Six revolvers were found in the
club house and six in the street. The
men arrested refuse to tell the cause
of the trouble. 1t was apparent to the
police that those in the club house
had expected and prepared for the
attack.

LEND MONEY At LOWER COST
FARM CREDIT ATTRACTING Al
TENTION ALL OVER COUNTRY.
Believed Cheap Money For Farmers
Will DO Much to Increase the
Number OF Farm Owners.

WASHINGTON, z. Lending
money at lower cost and better terms
is the core of the farm-credit sys-
tem," said Congressman E. R. Bath
rick of Ohio, whose rural credit bill
is attracting great attention from all
parts of the country.
Mr.. Bathrick has been making a
deep study of the rural credits ques-
ton. His office at the capitol looks
like a section of the congressional Ii
brary, so crowded is it with govern
ment reports on farm credits in many
countries of the earth. During the
present quasi-recess of the house the
Ohio congressman is being kept busy
jumping from one farmers conven-
ton to another explaining the terms
of his bill But l caught him the
other day and he told me something
about his work.
Advocates Government Aid.
Mr.. Bathrick is strongly of the
opinion that government aid is the
surest way of guaranteeing farm
credit system for this country There
are two general systems for giving
cheap money to farmers is the
Bathrick plan and the other is the
plan for having the farmers band
together in a cooperative society
and borrow the money for them
selves. Both systems were studied
by the American commission in Eu-
roDe.
The cooperative plan has many
adherents. Mr. Bathrick fears that
such a system would run the danger
of falling into the hands of the Wall
street financiers. He believes the
government itself should accept the
farm mortgages and on this security
issue bonds, the proceeds from the
sale of which could be furnished to
the mortgage givers at a maximum
interest rate of four and half per
cent. The government would derive
profits from such transactions, and
the Bathrick bill would apply these
profits to the building of good coun-
try roads.
Lend Money on Farms.
Let the government be the lender
on the farm mortgage" said Bath
