.GEORGIANS ARE
GIVEN WARMING
DR.. Harris Not Sure of The
friedman Cure
lOopyright. LIE. Joseph b. Bowlesl

Atlanta, Ca, March 3-Dr. H. L.
Harris, secretary and executive officer
of the Georgia State Board of Health,
has given out an interview in which he
emphatically warns the public against
placing too great confidence in the
claims of DR.. Frederick Franz Fried
mann, who processes to have Discovers
ed cure for tuberculosis.
A number of Georgians have sought
the advice of Dr. Harris with reference
to Dr. Friedmanns alleged consumr-
ton cure. To all these he states hc
has replied that DR.. Friedman has
proven nothing, and that no reason
whatever exists for crediting his
claims.
He calls attention to the fact thst
DR., Friedman has refused every pro--
posal put up to him to make a salts
/ factory test of his cure
He says DR.. F'riedmann's cure d.
fers from Kochs tuberlin only In the
fact that he uses living bacili from
cold-blodded animals, while Kock uses
broken up, dead baccilli. He says he
would particularly warn any MAJ
against putting living bacilli into his
body, particularly when the dead ones
will accomplish good results, but in m
way have the tuberculosis proven to be
ia specific, though in some cases they
have done good. DR.. Harris con-
cludes:
Il would warn the public to have
nothing to do with this man until his
claim has been definitely settled

GLITTERING The OCCASION TODAY
At THE CAPITAL OF NATION
Five Millions of Dollars viii Be Estimated Cost Of
Inauguration

Washington, D, c.. March 3.-When
a great American people in it's Dem
ocratic simplicity inducts into office a
President that it has duly elected, the
act is performed to the tune of the eX-
penditure of something over $5,000,000.
AS far as the official program and the
amount that is spent by our Uncle
Samuel direct is concerned there is
never touch of profligacy. When thu
enthusiastic private citizen cuts loose
on his own responsibility, however, the
mazuma is burned in large quantities
and there will be 100000 of him from
out of town in evidence along Penn
sylvania avenue tomorrow to see Il
President fresh from the making.
This will be no mean representation
of the folks at home The Democratic
politicians who have stood so long on
the outside looking in will be anxious
to readjust their vision to the reverse
position.
The prosperous folks from the creek
who have been buying automobiles
with their chicken money will grasp
this opportunity to see Washington
with her store clothes on. The fioridtv
opulent man of business from the
towns that are beginning to call them
selves cities will be there with his
neck shaved Heavyweight men Of
affairs from the great marts of trade
will be on hand to feel out the atmos-
phere and show that they are friendly.
The office seekers of whom the num-
bers are legion will be ever vigilant in
the expectation that the pie counter
may parade on float
All the world will be in evidence to
see this, the nea' est to royal pag.
cant of anything ever sprung in the
land where the eagle screams and the
bunting has a weakness for Stars and
: Stripes.
The conservative estimate that there
will be 100000, the progressives 25O,-
O0O and the enthusiasts 100000 people
who will come to Washington to see
the inauguration. 1t is safe to say that
fully 100000 ride in on the trains. In
an attempt to estimate the average
fare paid by these people the railroads
have a difficult problem, but it can be
fairly well Appropriated.
Theer are 100000 people in Wash
ington for three days, or its equivalent
when the ledger is balanced These
spend on their board bill 100000.
Lodging is little more serious
proposition Washington is a city Of
many hotels for its size, but when the
capacity of all these hotels is figured
when they are full to the caves, they
will house no more than 10000 people.
This hardly makes an impression on
the crowds, and after the overflow has
filled all the boarding and LODGING
houses, but half of it has been car ID
l for Out of these are taken 10000 peo-
pie who come as invited guests of

STATE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
BRINGS MILLIONS TO GEORGIA
DR.. SOGIG Tells What The College Of Agriculture
Is Doing

Athens Ga, March ga summary
of the work which the State College OF
Agriculture has done during the past
year has just been issued by President
Andrew M. Soule, showing some inter
esting facts and figures. The college
farm, which had an income of $2,757.2i
in 1908, yielded during the last year an
income of $S,75724. The net earnings
amounting to $2,246.36. In 1908 the
farm was Improbable, in fact leach
ed out, eroded, run down farm. In five
yearfs, under scientific methods, 1t
has been reclaimed and made a paying
proposition.
The college dairy, operated by mod :
ern methods, brought an income of $5,-
099.44 from herd of thirty cows and
net earnings of $1,S17.6O The herd has
been built up from native cattle mated
with pure-bred sires, starting with
practically nothing FIVE years ago.
These two items demonstrate the
practicability of the instruction nov
being given the $50 students who are
attending the college. Over 101, zoo
farmers of the state were reached dur,
ing the year by extension lecturers,

pers by use of an agricultural plate
service and others have been instruct
ed in various ways.
The college was reorganized five
years ago. At that time it had practi-
cally no equipment and very few stu,
dents. AT present the property is

Warns Applicants
For Nutssra1ixati0s,

A warning to aliens who have filed
declarations OF intention to become
citizens Of the United states, has been
sent in a circular letter thru this terri
tory from the st. Louis branch Of the
bureau Of naturalization. A copy OF
the circular has been received by Clerk
Of Courts 8. e. Reilly.
The warning ID directed especially TO
the attention Of those foreigners VINO
fled their declarations Of intention
soon after the new naturalization law
went into effect June 20. 1905. great
many aliens filed declarations Of inten-
tention as soon as the new law was
passed, and the circular calls their at
tention to the fact that they must Pc
tition for naturalization within seven
years after filing their declarations OF
intention. The first period Of seven
years under the new law ends Septem-
Der 81, 1913. Unless a petition for nat
uralization is filed within seven years
from the date of the filing Of a declara-
ton Of intent, the applicant Will have
to file new declaration OF intention.
as he will lose all rights under the
first one filed.
The same seven-year limitation ap-
plies under the cid law that was IN
operation prior to September ~, 1905.
These "old law declarations OF intent
are sufficient to support petition for
naturalization, so far as age Is con-
cerned. until September rs. 1913. but
they are no good after that date. 1t
is common practice for aliens who
want to be naturalized to file dec
laration of intention. and then walt
many years before making application
for naturalization. This practice can
not now be continued. The application
must be fled within seven years from
the date that declaration of intention
was made.

The petition sets out that the father

court take the necessary steps to In
vestigate the allegations made and that

The law passed by the last general
assembly provides that compensation

the amount OF not exceeding g 9 ;rh"k
