CRUSOE IN REAL
LIFE COMES TO BACONTON
Like His Namesake This One Arrives Too Sans Clothing
Or Any Assets. Tells Various Tales.

TOWNSVILLE, Calf his man
Friday or any other interested par
ties are looking for Robinson Crusoe
they can find him just now in the
Jail at Camilla, where he is being
held until called for Several days
ago Crusoe, as he gives his name,
presented himself at saw mill camp
near Baconton, asking to be provided
with some clothing, as at that time
he was wearing only the garb with
which nature had provided him. He
claimed he had lost a bundle contain
ing his clothes while swimming
across Flint river. He was provided
with the necessary garments and
placed in charge of the marshal at

HOUSEWIVES WARNED
ATTENTION is CALLED TO DAN
GEROUS REPRESENTATIVES..
People of Georgia Are Among Those
Who Buy These Articles. Sold
Under Fanciful Names.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The atten-
ton of the department of agriculture
has recently been called to the wide
spread use, especially in rural com
munities, of salicylic acid in putting
| up preserves. The head of a large
drug and chemical supply house
states that people living in South
west Virginia, North and South Car
DINA, Kentucky, Tennessee and west
ern Georgia have been purchasing
salicyIic acid in One-fourth pound
packages for a number of years and
that this practice has grown to an
enormous extent This dealer states
further that only a few weeks ago
he received an order from one whole
sale grocer for fifty gross of these
goods.
The department is aware that this
practice is not confined to salicylic
acid under its own name alone, hNt
that large quantities of this acid, and
of boric acid as well, are sold under
fanciful names as preserving pow
ders or canning compounds at prices
which are much in excess of their
real value.
In the directions for use the house
wife is told to fill the jar with the
fruit or vegetables, cover with water
and a teaspoonful of the powder 1t
is true that these powders may pre-
vent the decay of the fruit or vegeta-
BILE, but they also encourage I'M
cleanly or careless work, and their
excessive use may be attended with
very serious effects upon the health.
Salicylic acid is a medicine Oh the
greatest value in acute artlcular
rheumatism and certain other DIS
eases. 1t is well known as a pols-
onous substance, and one of the evils
which may accompany its use is de-
rangement of the digestion. IL Is
therefore plain that its extensive use
in food may lead to disturbance OF
digestion and health.
1t is entirely practicable to put up
both fruits and vegetables in such
manner that they will keep indeh-
nitely by sterilizing the products by
means of heat, and there is no ex-
cuse for running any risk by the US
ing of preserving powders. The de-

TOUGH OLLIE TAYLOR
BOY WHO WAS RELEASED FROM
PRISON BY SOB STORIES.
Gets Drunk On Decatur Street in At
lanta and Threatens to Clean
Up the Police Force.

Up N1Ac IL OlkCC HOECcs
ATLANTA, May 1.-THE good la
dies and reformers who got Ollie
Taylor out of the Georgia reformc-
tory last year, when they got up a
nation wide fever of sentiment be-
cause of the alleged injustice of the
Georgia courts in sentencing him to
the reformatory for stealing a five
cent bottle of soda water, are now
having their attention respectfully
called to the sequel.
Ollie, who was sent to the reforma-
tory not because of the soda water
incident but because he was incorri-
bic and couldn't be controlled by his
parents, was released from the re-
formatory in the face of a sentiment
that made Georgia seem playing the
role of darkest Russia.
Ollie hadn't been behaving himself
very well since he got out on parole.
In fact, he had been giving his fam
lily as much trouble as before, and a
night or two ago he got drunk on
Decatur street and threatened to
clean up" the entire police force if
anybody dared to arrest him. He
was grabbed before he could hurt

Charles w. Post Had Been in Bad
Health Long Time. Employed
Thousands of People.
SANTA BARBARA, CaI.-Charles
w. Post, the manufacturer of Battle
Creek, Mich, shot and killed himself
this morning.
Mr. Post was taken i'll here sud-
denly several months ago and hur-
ried to Rochester, Mimi, aboard a
special train for an operation. He
returned here recently, apparently
recovered.
With Rife.
The suicide occurred at Mr.. Post S
winter home here. Evading a nurse
he went to his apartment, placed the
muzzIe of rifle in his mouth and
pulled the trigger with his foot Mr..
Post arose at his usual hour this
morning, breakfasted and lounged
about until 10 o'clock. When the
shot was heard Mrs. Post rushed to
her husbands apartment up stairs
and found the millionaire stretched
on the floor dead.
Both Mrs. Post and the nurse said
they did not know how Mr.. Post had
secured the rifle.
Charles w. Post was one of the
founders of the so-called health food
industry His business interests at
Battle Creek, Mich, for the manu-
facture of breakfast foods represent
ed millions of dollars.
Mr.. Post was born in Springfield,
ILL.,, in 1854. He engaged in the
hardware and other lines of business
there until 1884, when his health
broke down. He travelled extensively
in search of treatment for some time,
and arrived here in 1891.
His search for health was respon-
sible. it is said, for his investigation
into the health food subject. En-
ploying thousands of workmen Mr..
Post took an active part in local civic
affairs.

formatory until he is q. As the
result of the agitation which the la
dies and reformers made nationwide
he might have gone back a red-hand-
ed murderer if the police hadn't been
quicker than he was.
His father says the boy would have
been infinitely better off if he had
been left in the reformatory the first
time.

The man tells various tales, it is
said, as to where he came from and
sentences he has served in different

at Brooksville, Fla, serving a chain
gang sentence. He is believed to be
an escaped convict and descriptions
of him have been sent out to officers
in all the counties through this Sec

about 145 pounds. Has light hair

1T is said that Governor Hatfield has q
programme OF progressive legislation
which he will urge at the next session OF
the West Virginia Legislature, included
in which is county salaries law. direct
primary law and corrupt practices ACT
and other reforms that have been dis
cussed ofrecent years. Wevery earneS,
ly hope that the Governor and the Leg
isldlure may originate and enact such
measures as these. There has been a
public demand for such reforms for years
past, but the politicians of both parties
have succeeded in blocking them,in spite
OF the fact that party platforms had de-
clared for them IN response to public SEN
timent.
The next Legislature will be Repuoli
can by big majorities IN both branches
the administration is Republican, indeed.
in every branch. 1t constructive and re-
form legislation fails il will be The faul
entirely ofthe dominant party. We much
prefer, however, 10 see the people gel
the benefit OF good legislation and The
Republican party get the credit, than TO
see the measures fail and the Republi-
cans receive the blame.
