COURT DECIDES AGAINST
MRS. CORNELIA MALATESTA

The Court of Errors and Appeals
has filed an opinion affirming the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the
cast of Cornelia R. Malatesta, widow
of Frank Malatesta, who was electro
cuted by a trolley wire at Linwood a
year or more ago, against the Allan
tic City and Shore Railroad.
The east was taken to the Court of
last resort on the contention that the
railroad was at fault for the uninsula-
ted condition of its high-powered ell
ectric wires. The Court was divided,
but the majority absolved the rail-
road from blame.
The freakish accident through which
Malatesta lost his life and in which
other workmen were injured and two
horses killed, is still fresh in the minds
of local residents. A ran or lift
ing device of some height was thought
to have broken the high-powered wire
| of the railroad while the men were
| shoveling stone from the freight lars
nearby into wagons, one of them be-
ing driven by Malatesta. When the
wire fell across the metal a it so
charged it that several of the men
fell unconscious and Malatesta, lean
ing directly on the side of the car
near the falling wire, received suffi-
| Gent voltage to cause his death, the
horses in front of him being killed by
the wire itself.
The widow sought redress against
the railroad through the several courts
and was greatly dismayed at the fail
ure of her last effort for damages.

HURTING THE A T

The announcement that Judge J..
B. Park and Solicitor General Joseph
E. Pottle, of the Ocmulgee circuit, are
lynching and that official action will
probably be taken by the executive
department, is significant as indicat-
ing that the enormity of this horrible
offense is so impressing itself upon
the officials of the state as to lend
perpetrators will be brought to jus.
tice and punished as they should be.
Nothing that has happened in this
state in many, many years has pro-
voked such universal condemnation
as the Jasper county l~ynching, in
which two negro men and two women
were taken from the Jail and sum-
marily executed by a mob, the victims
having been accused of operating a
blind tiger, and of assaulting an Off.
or who caught them in the act.
The offenders should have been
punished for violating the law and
they undoubtedly would have been
convicted through tne usual process
of law. But to resort to lynch law
under these conditions is a lapse into
brutality and barbarity which every
decent Georgian must condemn.
1t is a sad commentary upon law
and order and the administration of
justice in this state if such a thing
can happen without the offenders be-
ing brought to justice.
Things of this kind smear the good
name of the state and seriously react
against its business, its prosperity,
and it's development.
Can an outrage of this kind go I'M
punished in Georgia? If so, some
thing is seriously wrong with the
state-Editorial in Atlanta (Ga.) Con,

ON EATING MEAT.
Continued.

1t is a matter Of common knowl.

definite chemical changes in the stom-
ach and intestines efore they are TAX

body machinery. These chemical
changes are in the nature Of a rein.
ing process, an, as in all such pro-
%cesses, a certain amount of waste re-
mains for disposal by the intestines,
liver and kidneys.
1t is easy to understand that the
nature Of waste matter in the diges-
tive tract varies according to the
character of food taken into the stom-
ach. Accordingly, it happens that
the residue from meat digestion is
more poisonous than that from other
articles of food. Consequently, an
abundant meat diet imposes upon
the liver and kidneys the necessity of
rendering inactive, and of eliminating
a corresponding abundance of poison
GUS material.
The liver is n of the most i'm
portant organs of the body. In fact,

ance only to the heart. Man can exist
without a stomach; he can live forty
days without food, but he can exist
only a few days without a liver.
One of the chief functions of the
liver is the destruction of poisons
generated in the digestive processes.
These poisons, which would kill us if
thrown directly into the blood, are
rendered inert and harmless by pass
ing through the liver. This organ,
within the limits of it's capacity, is
capable of doing this work and doing
it well. Like any othe rorgan, how
ever, when subjected to the excessive
strain of long continued action, the
lived becomes exhausted and under
goes structural changes which per-
manently incapacitate it for destroy
ing the digestive poisons that con1
stantly menace the body. Hence it
follows that excessive meat eating,

because of the strain placed upon the
liver, is fraught with grave dangers
to the health of the invididual.
In the same way, the kidneys,
which, likewise, take part in the elm.
nation of the end-products of meat
digestion, are overworked when an
abundance of meat is taken into the
stomach. Also, in like manner, con.
tinued strain upon the kideys is fol.
lowed by their ~exhaustio and perma-
nent deterioration. Preserved meats,
which may contain disease germs,
ptomains, or mineral poisons, strong
ly seasoned, or spiced meats, even in
small quantities, are especially injur-
ious to the kidneys. Many cases of
Bright's disease can be attributed to
long continued and excessive meat
eating.
We do not wish to be suspected of
fanatical prejudice against meat. 1t
is not the use but the abuse of this
article of food against which we
would sound a warning. We would
not discard meat from the daily diet
of persons in health, for, indeed, it is
an indispensable food element. We
would, however, very strongly recon-.
mend moderation in it's use. We
would discourage the eating of meat
three times a day, and suggest that,
for the majority of us, once a day is
sufficient. We would also advise
against lunches consisting of meat
and bread alone. Vegetables or fruit
should always be taken with such
lunches. Beef, mutton, chicken, and
fish are more easily digested and pre-
ferable to pork. 1t is TO be hoped
that the day is not far distant when
beef will entirely replace pork on the
family table. Meat, in general, should
be well cooked, and boiled, roasted,
broiled, or baked rather than fried.
1t should also be remembered that
much water should be taken daily by
those who indulge themselves with a
generous meat diet. In conclusion we
would enter a final plea for modera-
ton in the use of meat as a food.
