IMPhU1t nEAL1H IN
DIVIDUAL AND STATE

Atlanta, May 8.-Conservation Of
the health of the state and of the in
dividual, a rather novel plank for
political platform, loom prominent in
the campaign for governor of DR.. L. G.
Hardman, of Commerce. He not only
stands for revision of the health
laws, but points to record of practi-
cal achievement in this direction. After
Fthe present state board of health was
established it was he who introduced
the bill providing for the manufacture
and keeping on hand by county ordin
aries of diphtheria anti-toxin co be dis
tributed free to the poor people of the
rural sections who were unable to pay
for it, Thousands of lives were saved
~ the state in this work.
DR.. Hardman was also the outhor Of
the bill which resulted in the manu-
fatcture and free distribution of tuber-
calm fer the treatment of consumption.
By another of his measures the state
is now manufacturing and sending out
free the necessary treatment for mad
dog b''es. 1t formerly cost $3.50 to get
this Pasteur treatment.
By another bill introduced by him a
state sanitarium was established at
Alto to fight the great white plague,
and that sanitarium is now being sup
ported by the state. Through his eff
forts later 100000 was appropriated
for educational purposes to prevent
the spread of disease, and last year
100000 was added to the fund for
maintenance for one year. He also hal

FIRST ISSUE EMPIRE
STATE" OUT TODAY

Atlanta, Ca, May 28-A new Geor-
gia weekly newspaper, to be named
THE Empire State" edited and pub
lished by Hon. Jesse Mercer, will make
its bow to the public tomorrow.
Mr.. Mercer proposes to keep in live
and active touch with the papers all
over the state, with the idea Of making
his paper not only an original publ
cation but also sort of clearing house
for the important weekly news OF
Georgia.
He has already announced the poll
icies of the new paper, as follows:
THE Empire State will contend for
prohibition, rural credits, law enforce
ment, woman's equality, the laborlng
mans rights, observation of wild life,
million dollar rental for the w. &, A.
or Its extension to the sea, imnrr ted
facilities for the educational uplIit of
the rural population, summary dis
misal of city, county and state officers
for malfeasance, misfeasance or non
feasance in office"
Commenting further on the aims and
nature of the publication, Mr.. Mercer,
who has long been a prominent figure
in the Georgia newspaper world, says,
The Empire State is not an offshoot.
1t does not spring from a stump, but
spontaneously from the soil, with the
first subscribers name a real subscrih-
er; without subsidy, without re-
tainer."

Richfeld, Utah, May 28.-The dam
of the Hatchtown irrigation reservoir.
65 feet high and 800 feet long, broke
last night and released a food which
is rushing down the Sewer river val
ley. Settlers were warned by tele-
phone and by horsemen and it is be-
lieved no lives were lost, but many
persons are homeless. Wire commun-
ication was interrupted this morning
and fears are entertained for the sat
e-y of the Piute reservoir, further
Gown the river.
The Hatchtown reservoir was part
Of a state irrigation project, completed

1000 acre-feet of water in a reser-
Dir mile and a half long in Saviar
river canyon.

FEAST Of
SHABOUTH SUNDAY

Atlanta, May 28.-The Jewish feast
of Shabouth-variously called the
Feast of Weeks and Pentacost-will be
celebrated Sunday, day after tomor-
row. This feast was originally a cele-
bration of the completion of the wheat
harvesting in Palestine, but its agri-
cultural significance has been lost as
it has come down through the ages.
Reform Jews have one feature Ia
their celebration of the feast of weeks,
which the Orthodox Jews do not have.
This is the ceremony of the confrma-
ton. The service of confirmation is
exceptionally beautiful and impressive
In some congregations there is a por-
ton of the service during which the
children, leaving the altar, go to re-
ceive the benediction of their parents.
Flowers and floral decorations figure
prominently in the ceremony, and syn
agogues following an ancient custom,
are sometimes decorated with fresh,
green branches.
The Shabouth feast will be extens-
lively celebrated in Atlanta.

Offer Of $2.65 Crate on
Spot Refused

Americas growers have recently
made small crate shipments peaches
of the earlier varieties to Southern
and Eastern markets, and will derive
excellent prices. The first carload from
a Georgia orchard has just gone for
ward, and tn credit for this shipment
goes to Byron, Ga, in the Fort Valley
territory. This is said to be the earl
lest that car of peaches has ever
been shipped out of this state, though
several crate shipments have been
made previous to this time. The car
which went east yesterday contained a
total of 426 crates, and the owner ex-
poets to receive 81 per crate for them,
out of which he will have to pay COM
missions and charges of handling. He
was offered $2.65 a crate for the
peaches delivered in Macon. but re-
fused, declaring that he would rather
take the chance of the higher price in
the eastern market.

POISON OF ANGER.

If a man IS angry he disturbs all his soul forces and sets them into inharmonious action, which IS repro duced in his body. When the dis cord appears in his body he calls it disease. The anger to which he gives way forms in his system a poison which enters the blood and all the vital fluids and vitiates them. Not only anger, but all the lusts and errors of inc flesh have a destruc- tive effect upon the soul and body. even unto that final disintegration which is called death.-Unity Mag azine.
