kellogg, of Battle Creek, Mich, in an
address before the Anti-Saloon League
of America here last night Whereas
alcohol was formerly relied upon as
the mainstay in the treatment of
typhoid fever, pneumonia, and other
grave disorders, the attitude of the
leaders of the medical profession In
this regard was now precisely the re-
verse of what it was generation ago,
he said.
1T is high time" he continued,
that the general public should be
thoroughly informed respecting the
radical change of views which modern
research has forced upon medical men
in relation to the use of alcohol In

believe this kind of summer work
with a view to making a grade is
worse than useless if a pupil has
failed in more than three subjects.
This matter has been handled in &C
cordance with custom, but | recon-
mend that limit be fixed and that
it be included in the rules and regu-
lations governing your school, /

three subjects. | assure you that
this is a very reasonable limit. AS a

that whatever regulation you make
not apply to those who have arranged
to study during the present summer.
During the past year an effort has
been put forth to promote wholesome
athletics for the boys and girls. l

am positive that it resulted in much

spoke well of the movement. All
OF the games are directed by teach

Importance of keeping the play

| have advised with your different
committees and since they will re-
port for themselves it is useless for
me to enumerate any change they
may suggest. | refer particularly to
the committee on curriculum and
; text books, and respectfully urge you
to adopt this report.
! After watching the affairs of your
school for two years l am convinced
that you should adopt a schedule of
salaries for teachers. This schedule
should be based on experience and
efficiency. This would make it easier
| to keep competent teachers. We
should also change from the calendar
month to the scholastic month There
are many reasons for this, but the
matter of competition alone is Sufil-
cient to warrant the change. If this
fact were advertised it would be diff
cult to get efficient teachers, for our
salaries are very little if any better
than elsewhere and the month is Of
ten three to four days longer. Your
superintendent stands alone in deal
ing with this subject or the change
would have been made years ago.
You are due much credit for add
ing the commercial course and the
eleventh grade to your high school.
Both additions are working SPLEEN
didly, and l believe the good results
will be more far-reaching than you
had anticipated. l am now convinc-
ed that our original policy in regard
to the commercial course is correct.
1t is a good department and must
be maintained, but not to the ex-
clusion of any part of the classical
course. We should not consider the
department in any way detached
from the high school, but rather a
part of it. Neither should we at
tempt too much in the commercial
course. In lieu Of certain subjects
we can offer other studies which Will

AGRICULTURAL RALLY
WILL BE HELD AT YEOMANS ON
NEXT FRIDAY, JULY 2ND.
Speakers From State Agricultural
L College Will Address the Farmers
on Important Subjects.

OH IIuHOHO1tlib CuOJCSOo'
Where interest enough is manifest
ed by the farmers of any county the
State College of Agriculture sends out
each year a number of it's experts to
discuss practical farm subjects, visit
the crops, especially where diseases
are molesting them, and give assist
ance in any way that it is needed.
The only cost to us is that we see to
taking care of these experts while
they are in our midst, and this we
are honor bound to do, In view of
this we hope every farmer will see
to having a well-filled basket of ar
ticles on the ground and will also
speak to his neighbor about doing
likewise. 1t would also be to every
body's interest to see that all loaf
ers" and curiosity seekers are sent
TO the creek fishing that day. On
the other hand, every farmer or man
that is interested in farming is urged
to be present, because this meeting
is being held for such men, and help
us to see that our visitors are taken
care of while here. We just cant af-
ford to let this matter go unnOticed
and we feel sure every patriotic cit
iZen will not.
This year we will have five or six
speakers, and these will cover large |
number of interesting farm topics. |
The speaking will begin at 10 o'clock
in the school building, and when we
have finished here we will be shown
a Dumher Of oOnd farms in the icin-
ity.
If arrangements can be perfected a
canning demonstration Will be held
with a steam pressure Gamer, and all
the ladies are invited to be present.
If you have fruits or vegetables that
you want to can have them on the
school ground with the necessary
cans, pans and buckets and YOU will
be shown how to use the Gamer.
To all corn and pig club boys a |
special invitation is extended. Come
along, boys, and set a good example |
for the older farmers of the county. |
You are the farmers of the future. |
and are learning to do your work well
with much greater profits than have
ever been seen.
Now, let's everybody come with a
well filled basket, and show the visit |
ors that we appreciate their efforts
in our behalf, and that we know how
they ought to be entertained. Yours
for q good meeting,

CONVICT BREAKS
A SACRED TRUST
Frederick Spence Is First to Escape
From Sing Sing Since Reform
Warden Was Installed.

OSSINING, N Y.-The arms OF lit
tie children will reach in vain to give
their daddies a goodbye hug and
the men in Sing Sing will have to go
grieving back to their cells aching for
the caresses they cannot have, all pc
cause Frederick Spence broke MS
trust with Warden Osborn, the re-
form Sing Sing warden, after NOV
ing picture show. Osborn promised
the men a number of privileges all
tending toward their own betterment
and the production of better citizens
for the state of New York If they
themselves kept certain rules laid
down by their own Welfare League.
BY Spence's act seventeen hundred
men lose some of their most cherish
ed rights under the new regime, and
it is safe to say that Spence, when he
is brought back to Sing Sing, will be
the most unpopular man there.
Threats of ostTacism are being made
against him; though, oddly, no one
blames Warden Osborn for curtail-
ing the former privileges of the con-
victs. All realize that the prison has
broken faith with the warden and
that he must act as he does.
A delegation of prisoners, repre-
senting the Welfare League, waited
upon the warden and offered their
services and deposited one hundred
dollars, made up of funds of the pris-
oners themselves, as areward for
Spence's capture.
The escape of Spence is the first
even tried since Osborn took charge
of the prison and organized his gold
en- rule" prison regime.

HIN
AN UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE OF "A
SAVANNAH MAN.
Two Women Appeared as Plaintiffs
Seeking Divorce From Same Man
Without knowledge Of Other

TWO "OuHCH hPBNpASNA eNs1
Seeking Divorce From Same Man
without knowledge of Other
SAVANNAH.-Two women were
granted divorces from the same man
at the same session of court today.
This is the first time on record it
has occurred in this county Because
of the popularity of the case it was
commented upon frequently during
the trial of the divorce docket for
the June term today.
The man against whom the suits
were brought is Emile w. Duhock.
He is not a resident of Savannah now,
and in both petitions it was set forth
that his whereabouts are unknown.
He was directed to appear by publ
cation.
The plaintiffs in the cases were
Mrs. Mary Dufiock and Mrs. Nettle
Outlook. When the first case came on
it was accepted with the usual for
malities and tried without particular
attention being given to 1t. Then an
other case in which similar allega-
lions were made against man hay
ing the same name was called. TINS
attracted attention When the records
were compared it was discovered that
the defendant in both cases was one
and the same man. Judge Charlton
asked why the first Mrs. Outlook had
not prosecuted her husband for big
amy, and her counsel answered that
she was modest woman and did not
| want to become involved in crimi-
nal prosecution.
Another peculiar feature in connec-
| ton with the case was that the sec
ond Mrs. Outlook is entirely liberated,
while the Mrs. Outlook No. l will
have to appear before another jury
| for the second verdict.
In the case of Mrs. Mary Outlook,
who was granted a first verdict, it
appeared she was married on April
Ia, 1896. Fourteen years ago, ii is
claimed her, husband deserted her
and has not been seen by her or
heard from since. There were no chill
dren.
In the second case it was claimed
he married Mrs. Nettie Outlook on
March 49, 1905, and deserted her in
April, 1911. There is one child by
this marriage, William, aged > years,
who was awarded to the mother.
