EARLY MARRIAGES
ARE SELDOM IDEAL
THE INJURY is NOT TO THOSE
WHO MARRY BUT TO THOSE
WHO COME AFTER THEM.
CONDUCIVE TO IMMORTALITY
Declares G. l.. RefeId in Addressing
International Purity Congress i'm
San Francisco. Most Great Men
Offspring of Aged Parents.

SAN FRANCISCO.-C Contrary To
popular beliefs that early marriages
are particularly conducive to moral
ity G. L. Redfield, of Chicago, adj
dressing the International Purity
Congress here yesterday, declared
they were more conductive to immor-
ality.
The biographies of the great men
of the world, particularly the moral
and religious reformers, furnished
evidence, he said, that great men
were the sons of old parents who bad
done much work. Confucius, who
was born when his father was II
years of age; Buddha, whose mother
was As when he was born; Moses,
whose three generations of ancestors
spanned 1876 years, and King David,
who was the son of Jesse's old age,
and who became the father of Solo
mon when So years old, were some
instances he cited.
In contrast, in this age, in this
country, he pointed to the widespread
practice of marrying young-so
young that in many states grooms in
knickerbockers and brides in short
dresses were even recognized by law,
and said
81 say to you positively that these
child marriages are laying the foun-
dations for new sources of vice and
crime. A campaign of education on
the question of early marriages is
urgently needed.
Perhaps some of you think that
to thus delay marriages would be TO
largely increase the immortality
among the unmarried. Heretofore
you have based your judgment in
such matters on common sense, but
am telling you now that there 10 o
sound scientific reason, heretofore
overlooked, why such marriages are
an injury to the race. The injury is
not to those who marry, but to those
who come after them. The product
of those early marriages is the first
step in the production of those forms
of vice which we have upon our
shoulders to eradicate.

20 acres of bottom land Now he
holds title to 20 acres of muddy,
rushing water. Joseph Crutsinger's
4O-acre farm adjoined Finchs. To-
day he has a mere fringe of land on
either bank. That is fast going to
satisfy the voracious appetite of the
Big Muddy. Most of Eph King S
place was in corn last week. Now
his only possible crop is catfish. The
same is true of the others along the
banks.
Gives as Well as 1t Takes.
AS if to show it's contempt for the
property rights of mortals the river
gives as lavish a hand as it takes
away. At the north end of the dis
trict cut off as an island Mrs. Lena
Waller owned some 500 acres, sepa-
rated from her land by only mar
row slough. The intervening water,
however, prevented her from claim
ing it as an accretion and it was sur
veyed by the LAFAYETTE county court
to be sold.
Mrs. Waller bought it for 1925 an
acre. The rivers praaks will leave it
miles away from the channel and safe
from the danger of overflow. Which
means that Mrs. Waller will have a
1.2OO-acre farm in Ray county Worth

Stops Ray County Inroads.
The change in the river has stopp-
ed the cutting at the upper end of
Camden Bend, which has cost Ray
county farmers thousands of fertile
acres in the last few years. Time and
again they have moved their houses
and barns back out o. what they be-
lieved was the reach of the Missouri,
only to have the river creep up and
scare the buildings back once more.
The filing up of the old channel
will give them back all their land
and enough more to pay them for

vid Esaacson, 60 years old, the con
victed swindler from New York, ar
rived in the city yesterday morning
unaccompanied on his journey to the
penitentiary.
Esaacson appeared at the prison
doors about noon. He was given a

sentenced on the charge of swindling
patrons of the Kales Manufacturing
Company, of which he was president.

Savannah for two days. He reached
Atlanta at $50 Thursday morning,

.STARCHY FOODS
CAUSE PELLAGRA
DIR. Goldberger, Afer Experiments at
the Georgia State Sanitarium,
Announces Conclusions.

SAVANNAH.-In a statement Civ
en- to the press here DR.. Jos. Gold
berger, of Washington, head of the
department for pellagra research Of
the United States public health SER
vice, in announcing his conclusions
about the malady and its cause said:
After experiments conducted at
the Georgia state sanitarium at Mil
ledgeville and in a similar institu-
ton at Jackson, Miss, we have come
to the definite conclusion that our
theory, made public last year, that
peIIagra is the result of eating too
regularly too much starcy food, is
correct. Patients in these two in
stitutions kept upon a proper diet
have failed this year to develop SYM
toms of the disease.
1--WE also know that pellagra is not
contagious. There is not the slight
est danger of catching the disease by
contagion with one who has it. Pei
Iagra, we have found, is more preva-
lent in the South than in the North,
although there is just as much pos
sibilfty of the reverse, except for the
fact that people in the North eat a
great deal more meat and other non
starchy foods than do people in the
South. What we need more than
anything else is to return to the old
smokehouse meat age"
