Senator Lodge No Ws.kliux.

The inconsiderate advocate Of peace who
sought to forward his cause by an assault on
Henry Cabot Lodge must now have much more
definite notion Of the prowess Of the senator from
Massachusetts,. Senator Lodge did what any man
Of spirit would have done under the circumstances
--he knocked his assailant down, and so gave an
excellent exempl6eation of the personal applica-
tion Of the doctrine he has preached He was
both prepared and willing to defend himself and
thus to set an example to the nation. On the
other hand the course OF his assailant Is not such
as entities him to much notice. unless II be as
good illustration Of the effect of misappied zeal.
Seeking out the senator to urge his support of
peace, this man met declination Of his request
with an epithet, and when that was resented fol-
lowed with blow, for which he was Aoored. The
whole affair may be considered symptom Of the
excited condition into which lot Of well-mean-
Ing people have worked themselves and for the
cure of which quiet and rest Is needed-something
we are not likely to experience very soon.

MAY CONVERT BURN
ED SECTION INTO BIG PARK

Atlanta, May 25.-Property owners
of the Boulevard, Jackson street and
that portion of Ponce de Leon avenue
swept by the fire have just held a
meeting to discuss the proposed park
plan" of rebuilding. The County
Commissioners, the city authorities
and the property owners have united
on the plan and the united three-cor-
ner backing will be given to the pro-
ject, which contemplates the expen-
diture of 100000 for that purpose
on the streets through the boulevard.
At the same time the property owners
will conform in plans they will have
prepared for the new buildings. In
many instances homes will go back
on the same sites, but it is notable
that on much of the property the new
est style apartment houses will go
up; structures which promise to out
rival the magnificent apartment house
building on Ponce de Leon, and which
will probably make the boulevard the
principal apartment house stretch in
the city, and one of the prettiest of
Atlanta's streets.

IF YOUR BACK ACHES
OR KIDNEYS BOTHER
EAT LESS MEAT ALSO TAKE
GLASS OF SALTS BEFORE EAT
ING BREAKFAST.

Uric Acid in meat eXcites the kid
neys, they become overworked, get
sluggish, ache and feel like Jumps OF
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night When the KID
news clog, you must help them flush
off the bodys urinous waste or you'll
be real sick person shortly. At first
you feel dull misery in the kidney
region. you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acids of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutrallze
the acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.

.FT. VALLEY EXPECTS BEST
PEACH CROP IN HISTORY
That Section Probably Will Ship Half
of Entire Crop-Peaches Sell on lo-
cal Market at SIS per Crate.

Fort Valley, May 25.-The highest
price ever paid for peaches in this
city was received by James ID. Fa-
gan Wednesday, when he sold May
flower for So per crate here. The first
peaches shipped from Fort Valley
brought 81 and SIS crate in New
York, but the sale here for S. eclipsed
all previous sales.
OF the over 5000 cars of Georgia
peaches, it is estimated that Fort Val
ley and vicinity will ship more than
half the entire crop, LOO cars to be
in readiness for the fruit of this one
place.
The outlook is indeed encouraging
for Fort Valley growers and high
prices and egcellent fruit will doubt
less make the season the most sue.
cessful one in the history of the peach
industry here.
Quite a large number of the grow.
ers have sold their fruit by the crate
and some by the orchard. The Gamer
les are anticipating busy season.
The trees planted this year have
grown nicely and are mostly of the
early variety which always brings the
best prices.

The Home Garden
7. H. Mediation, Prof. of Horticulture
State College CT Agriculture.

Never before in the history OF this
country has the home garden been
of more vital Importance to the wei
fare of the nation than at this par
ticular time. This is not the lime
to pillow up the home garden and plant
it in cotton. The farmers with the
large home garden should be able TO
produce sufficient supplies for the
family for the whole year.
Where the garden is large, enough
Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes
should be made for the winter use,
The ever-present Georgia collard
should be on hand in great abundance
this year; cabbages should be prom
inent fall crop; turnips also should
be in the fall garden If one has not
planted carrots in the spring, carrots
should be planted in the late summer
or early fall for winter use In most
sections of Georgia satisfy or oyster
plant planted now or later in the SUM-
mer will remain in the ground anG
can be used all along. The abund-
ance of tomatoes and string beans,
and other vegetables that demand
warm weather for their maturity
should be put into cans. There is not
woman in Georgia who should not
try to put up and can all of the vegeta-
bles of various kinds that she expects
to use on her table during the fall,
winter and early spring months. Any
woman who oyerlOokS this at this
time cannot be considered a patriot.
Canned goods of all kinds are going to
be extremely high this year, even II
the war is over. 1t is a mans place
about the home to see that enough
stuff is raised so that the good woman
will have it to can. The home garden
is going to be the most valuable small
piece of ground on the farm, and any
one who neglects it this season is cap
able of selling his birthright for
mess of pottage."

Fall Irish Potatoes
T. H. Mediation, Professor of Horti-
culture, state College of Agri.

The farmers of northern Georgia
should lay their plans to put III
large crop of fall Irish potatoes. II
transportation is tied up this fall and
winter, it will not be possible fer us
to call on Maine and the other pota-
to producing states for our supplies.
They will have to be produced at
home. The North Georgia farmer can
make a good fall irish potato crop;
and if the farmers of this section will
give this matter due consideration,
we should be able TO produce in our
mountain sections enough potatoes
to carry Georgia through until the
suring crop comes in from the south
ern portion of the state. This is
the time TO show to the rest of the
country what the mountain soils of
North Georgis'ean do.

RUMORS OF INCENDlARY FIRE
DENIED BY AUTHORITIES

Atlanta, May 25.-With the air all
filled with rumors concerning the orr
gin of the fire last Monday, which
aroused suspicion because four fires
broke out simultaneously. thereby al
lowing the big fire to gain Roadway
while the department was engaged
on the other three in a section of the
city several miles distant, a loud
explosion early yesterday morning in
local steel plant started afresh
crop of reports that German spies
were abroad in the city,
But the actual facts of the explosion,
as of the fire. did not sustain them,
for it developed that the explosion
was nothing more than loud puff
caused by the accidental discharge
of large quantity of cold water on
top of a large quantity of red hot
Stag, and that scores of men reported
mangled were only two negroes some
what painfully scalded.
AS for the origin of the fire, inves-
tigation has developed the fact be
yond question that it was purely ac-
cidental The simultaneous breaking
out of four fires was nothing more
than a coincidence, and one of them
got beyond control while the others
were being extinguished.
