Governor Slaton in making the announcement of the communication of Leo M. Franks sentence dictat- ed the following brief statement:
 "All that I ask is that the people of Georgia read my statement of the reasons why I commuted Leo M. Franks death sentence to life Imprisonment before they pass Judgment.
 Feeling as I do about this case, I would be a murderer if I allowed this man to hang. It means that l must live in obscurity the rest of my days, but I would rather be blowing in a field than to feel for the rest of my life that I had that mans blood on my hands.

Bio Boiled Dinner.

The chefs in our big hotels may
think they prepare meals on a big
scale. but it is doubtful whether any
OF them have ever equaled the feat
OF wholesale cookery achieved at the
little town OF Liss. in England. At a
barbecue held there not long ago an
OK was boiled-not roasted-whole
This is how the thing was done: A
large hole was dug in the ground and
lined with brick, inside Of which was
built a tank large enough to hold the
OK The carcass was then lowered
into the tank, having first been placed
in a case formed by heavy crossbars
to which chains were attached. Pull
leys from a scaffolding above were
used to raise and lower the OK Many
vegetables, such as carrots, onions,
cabbages and potatoes, were boiled
with the meat. The boiling required
several hours.

Reading Ancient Documents.

Owing to the scarcity Of paper which
the scribes OF old we're confronted
with. they established the custom Of
making several inscriptions on the
same paper. In the examination Of
these inscriptions considerable diff.
Guilty is often experienced in decipher-
ing the earlier inscriptions made on
the parchment. This was facilitated
at first by photography, by which the
impression was obtained of lines
which were not to be seen by the un
aided eye; then later better results
were obtained by the use Of the ultra
violet rays. These methods have been
outclassed by the very latest process,
fluorescent photography, which is
based on the fact that parchment fiuo-
resces under the influence of the ultra.
violet rays, while the written char.
acters remain almost entirely dark.
This fuorescent photography gives on
the average 80 per cent better results
in the deciphering Of old texts than
either ordinary photography or ultra
violet photography.

How They Stand.
Old Temperance Organizations.

1t was in Germany that temper.
ance organizations may be said to
have had their birth The first of
these was the Order OF st. Christopher.
formed by Sigismund Won Dietrich.
stein on January IS. 1917, the mem.
bers of which were pledged to abstain
from toast drinking. This was fol-
lowed by the so-called Order OF Tenn
perance. founded by the Landgrave Of
Hesse on December 25, 1900 The
members OF this order solemnly
pledged themselves on the Holy Scrip
lures not to drink more than seven
glasses OF liquor at one time. and that
not oftener than thrice a day. From
this It will be seen that while the or
der may have been one OF temperance
II was certainly not one OF total sb-
stinence.

indian Leaders Confer.

Muskogee, okla. June 23.-At a
conference OF Indian leaders here
Wednesday, Chief Moty Tiger of the
Creek tribe agreed to withdraw his
support from r. c. Allen who is en-
deayoring to retain his position as
Creek national attorney, and cast his
influence in favor of Thomos w.
Leahy present county judge OF Mus
kogee.
Leahy declared positively that he
is not candidate for the position but
someone has evidently been working
a few political wires looking toward
his appointment. The greatest bar
TO Leahy is said to be the opposition
Of Senator Robert l.. Owen. who is
his political enemy.
The Creek attorneyship pays $4,000
year and $40 day expenses when
the attorney is outside Oklahoma on
business. Allen and Leahy are re-
ported to be the only two applicants.

The Science OF Diet.

People of nervous disposition need
a nourishing, nerve-building diet. Eggs
served in various ways, milk, cereals,
etc, should form a standard part Of
the diet Be careful of lavish use Of
tomatoes, red meats. Supply your
table with quantities of fruit and fresh
vegetables, and serve bran bread or
biscuits frequently. Should you have
a tendency to obesity, be careful to
avoid an excess of starch and sweets
Consult your physician about any
especial tendency that you know your
family or any member of it to possess,
and, guided by his advice, eliminate
such foods as might be harmful. In
families where there is no special in
disposition or hereditary tendency to
be considered, let common sense
guide you, read up on dietetics and
keep your table free from unhealth-
full combinations and indigestible
foods You will find the study an in
teresting one, but beware of fads. A
diet must be varied to be wholesome,
and it is better to use spices and
condiments in moderation than to let
your table lack flavor from overzeal
in leaving out everything that is not
pre-, eminently Wholesome.

ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS
FOR WAR MUNITIONS

Pittsburgh, Pa, June 23.-The West
inghouse Electric and Manufacturing
company of East Pittsburgh has book
ed the largest order for war muni-
tions received by any one firm in the
United States since the opening OF
the European holocaust The mag
nitude OF the order is fraught with
so much importance that a confer
ence between Herman Westinghouse,
L. f. Kerr and high officials of the
company was held here Monday and
Tuesday to discuss it. Another meet
ing was held today in New York,
President Kerr and Sales Manager S.
w. Nicholson having gone there last
night to attend.
While the utmo-: secrecy is main
tanned here by those in position to
know the full amount and details of
the contract, it was learned today
that the total value of the munitions
contracted for will approximate $780,
100000. Shrapnel bottles, large and
small caliber, high velocity projec-
ties, bomb castings and many varied
classes of war munitions are included
in the order.
Work will begin at once on the con-
tract, and it is understood that the
Westinghouse company is arranging
the install new machinery in its big
East Pittsburgh plants to turn out
the material. The order is said to
have been placed through English
representatives. but the munitions are
said to be for the English, French
and Russian war and naval depart
ments.

MEETING To
DISCUSS THE
COUNTY FAIR
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL
TAKE THE MATTER UP AS SOON
AS ITS PRESIDENT RETURNS TO
THE CITY.

President J. s. Mullen of the cham
Der of commerce is expected to re-
turn to the city today and a called
meeting of that body will be had to
take action on the county fair PROPOSE
ton according to statement Of secrs-
tary West this morning The secre-
tary has been talking with the bust
ness men of the city and states that
without exception they want the fair
to be permanently located in this city,
and are ready to back it financially.
The track at the old fair grounds is
in good condition, having been kept
in shape by local horsemen, and is
ready for races at this time, were it
necessary to have them, the question
of the grand stand seems to have
been solved as it is reported that the
fair association will purchase the
stand at Lorena park and move it to
the fair grounds. With one exception
this is the biggest grand stand in the
state, and would be ideal for this new
purpose.
The amount of money proposed to
be raised by the city will be sufficient
to start the fair association off in
good shape, and more can be added as
the necessity demands.
The business men of the city will
be given an opportunity of discussing
this matter as soon as the president
of the chamber of commerce returns to
the city and calls meeting. The mat
ter must be put before the board of
county commissioners when they con-
vene next week and they are ready to
order the levy if the city will pledge
itself to build and maintain the build
ings and grounds.

he could not disregard so clear an in
