MEXICO FREED PENSACOLA
MEN WHEN U. S. WAR YES
Sell WAS SIGHTED

Pensacola, Aug. 11.-Captain
John Brown, of the wrecked scheen-
er Caviare, and William H. Conway
mate, returned from Proresso, Mex,
where they were held by the acting
consul to testify in regard to the
extinguishing of lights on the Mex
ican coast.
In speaking of their experience
yesterday the men said that the Mex
leans had removed the lights on the
Alacra nreef, and as a result the Ca
Ware ran ashore. The French con-
sui at Progresso, acting for the
United States, took the testimony of
every man in the crew, and released
all except the mate and the captain
of the vessel.
AS neither spoke either French or
Spanish, much difficulty was met in
making known their wants, although
both stated that the Mexicans treat
ed them well.
On July % the United States gun
boat Wheeling wirelessed the con-
cul at Progresso that she would ar
rive the next day. Upon the re-
ceipt of this message the Mexicans
Immediately released the men, and
the consul made arrangements for
them T. be taken aboard the Danish
steamship Norden bound for New
Orleans, paying their fare TO that
point
On the arrival at New Orleans,
the men stated, they were held for
four days at the Louisiana quaran-
tine station, due to the fact that
there was yellow fever at Progresso.
When the men were finally dis
charged they came to Pensacola by
rail.
The Caviare was wrecked on the
Alacran reef on July 8, after wealth
ering the storm of July safely. The
Norwegian steamship Freda was also
wrecked on the same reef on the
same night. and the captain and
crew we're held by the Norwegian
authorities at Progresso testify to
the occurrance.

Develop. First Case Reported.

Savannah, Aug. 11.-Full power
to deal as he sees fit with any situa-
tion which may arise with reference
to infantile paralysis was given DR..
w. F. Brunner, city health officer,
yesterday by the Sanitary Board at
special meeting. Ample funds with
which to work were placed at his
disposal
The meeting was held following a
report to DR.. Drummer by DR.. G. H.
johnson that one of his patients, Al
ford Murphy, years ole, of No.
I'LL Anderson street, east, was suf-
fering from the disease.
This case is the only one in the
cit y. Emphasis was laid by DR.. Brun-
ner on the declaration there is no
reason for fear on the part of par
ents
The board met to plan course Of
action to be pursued should other
cases break ut. 1t was reiterated
there is no cause for alarm; that the
board merely wished to be prepared
for eventualities.
Almost ideal conditions exist at
the Murphy home, causing health Of
ficials to feel slightly puzzled as to
the cause of the child's illness. It is
termed typical sporadic case Of in
fantile paralysis.
ITO look at him, one hardly would
believe the little fellow is really i'll, :"
said DR.. Drummer, discussing the
case. "He has no temperature and
acts as do all normal, healthy chill
dren. The child cannot walk as he
is paralyzed from the hips down. His
neck is affected as one about to be
stricken with lockjaw.
"The child will be isolated in his
own home as all conditions there are
best for his care" Dr.. Brnnner con-
tinued. The health officer made an
immediate investigation of the case
upon receiving DR.. Johnson's report.
He concurred in the physicians dag
nosis of the Murphy child's ailment.

ARE DANGEROUS
Common Sense Advice by Distin

Acid. stomachs are dangerous be
cause acid irritates and inflames the
delicate lining of the stomach. thu
hindering and preventing the proper
acton of the stomach, and leading TO
probably nine-tenths of the cases Of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and me
dicinal treatments are useless In such
cases, for they leave the source of
the trouble, the acid in the stomach,
as dangerous as ever. The acid must
be neutralized and its formation pre-
vented, and the best thing for this
purpose is teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia. a simple antacid, taken in q
little warm or cold water after eating.
which not only neutralizes the acid,
but also prevents the fermentation
from which acidity is developed.
Foods which ordinarily cause dis:
tress may be eaten with impunity
If the meal is followed with little

SHOWS CONTROL
OF UTILITY BODY

III Congress is willing, there is, in
the nature Of things, no legal objec-
ton TO the creation OF a territorial
commission which will have as much
jurisdiction and control over the in
terterritorial commerce as state COM
missions now have over intrastate
commerce, as distinguished from in
terstate
This is one of the interesting para
graphs OF the lengthy opinion submit
ted yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Attorney General Arthur G. Smith at
the request of the public utilities COM
mission for a decision as to whether
or not that body has control over the
Hawai-! Railway Company
AS announced in this paper yester-
day Smiths decision is that such con-
troll Is in the lower OF the commits
sion, along with the control exercised
by the Interstate Commerc. Commits
siCu He emphasizes the belief. how
ever, that this does not necessarily
mean that the latter power might not
at certain times be paramount.
"Wo are inclined to suggest" says
the opinion, that, in all probability,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
would be disinclined to interfere at
all with this commission in its Ell
forts to regulate the intra-territorial
business of this carrier"

of finance they are and what
an important factor they will be
in making this country the most
thrifty in the world?
1t is the home economies that
loom up large and in this way one
learns the truth OF the saying:
Small things arc not small if great
results come OF them"
Thrift, in the home, should have
us its highest exponent, the wife
and mother. Her aim should be
always to conserve and to improve
living conditions by the strict prac-
tice of home economies. She should
study the markets each morning
just as her husband does. She
should watch the pennies as tho
business man watches them in LIS
transactions; she should keep a
family budget and personally do
her own marketing. She should
learn to cook and serve the foods
she buys without waste.
What do the little savings care
fully boarded from these small
economies of the housewife amount
to? A visit 10 the Probate Court
will give answer more graphically
than any written word. It is the
little savings begun in the first
years OF married life that met the
payments on the little homes of the
widows, the little savings that
reached to dollars and then still
larger sums, which were invested,
or which paid the life insurance
and educated the children. Pos
sibly the greatest benefit Of all
coming from the home where the
housewife is thrifty will be the
frugal habits inherited by the chill
dren.
