Woman suffrage as decent, moral
force was patiently illustrated during
the August registration. Chicago,
since it gave the ballot to the women
has the largest registration of any
city of the world. New York steps
back to secondary place on the rec
ord. AE~ut 100000 voters registered
in Chicago. Husbands escorted their
wives to the polls, and sons accomp-
anied their mothers. The river wards
had the quietest time in their exist
ence. Instead of the rear of a base
ment pool-hall in the First district,
the assembly room of the city hall
was used. In the Second district, in
place of the accustomed barber-shop
or bucket shop, the polling place was
transformed to the Art institute. All
told the registration conditions are
summed up as a great civic reform
due to the presence of women voters.
The Chicago Journal editorially
comments on the probable effect OF
the European war on woman sui
frage. The Journal says; "The loss
and suffering which this war is
bound to entail will be a powerful
argument for peace. and for the
entry into politics of the sex which
can be depended upon to use it's
influence for peace. If England
emerges from this war victorious, it
would seem almost certain that Eng
lish women will gain the ballot.
French women are reaping the ma
tons harvest, doing S much of It's
factory work as possible, keeping the
wheel of industry turning somehow,
while their husbands, brothers and
sons are at the front. Win or lose.
it seems probable that the cause of
political equality is bound to gain in
France from the war"
GIN principle woman suffrage is
Democratic in both senses of the
word" is the way the Buffalo Courier
approvingly comments on the plank
in the Democratic platform of New
York.
Organization work in Kentucky is
proceeding vigorously bv suffraeists

AS announced already in the Times

and entertaining lecture tonight at
the High school auditorium by Dr. EN-
DRY R. Park, director of the publicity
department of the Georgia state board

visit is to deliver public lecture up
on the subject "The Prevention of Con-

interest not only to pupils of the city
schools, but to parents, teachers, the
medical profession and general pub

ant one, as the subject of his address:

tive audience should greet him. AS.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a

that the prevention of contagious dis,

CLIFF WALKER IS

Atlanta, March 23.-Clifford Walker,

man who has announced for the office.

been mentioned as probable candi-

Mr.. Walker is one of the best known
and ablest o. the younger attorneys of
Georgia. He has served as solicitor
general of his circuit with distinction.
L. was at the solicitation of friends not
only in his own immediate section but
in other parts of the state that he de-

BLANKET OF SNOW, BUT
FRUIT IS NOT HURT

Jackson, Ga, March 23.-Though
Butts county was covered in a mantle
of snow Sunday, it is not thought that
the fruit crop has been killed. Exper-
fenced fruit men hold that the snow is
not as damaging as a dry cold would
be, or even frost. Just at this stage,
when the trees are in full bloom, it is
believed that the damage will not lie
as serious as it would be later when
the fruit is more developed.

There is more Catarrh IN this section of the
country than all other diseases put together and
until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional treatment

Malaria Fever.

In a report just completed which
government experts have made on
malarial fever in South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Florida, the prevalence of the
disease is indicated in all but two
counties of this state from which re.
ports were received. This condition is
attributed in every case to the propin-
quiyt of overfiowed lands and might be
almost entirely obviated by drainage.
Although the statement may seem a
trifie hyperbolic, it is hardly an exag-
geration to say that the drainage of
all the swamp lands in the state woulG
result, at no distant date, in the doubl-
ing of our taxable values.
Much intrest has been felt in the
South OF late in the building of public
highways and great results have been
accomplished therafrom. Figuring
