In 1919 the tuberculosis Assocl-
alton was responsible for legislation
which authorized tax levy to build
two hospitals for tuberculosis patti
ents. Standpoint and Payette were
selected as the sites. The fund
will be on hand soon and the build
ing at Payette will be begun this
fall
The legislature failed to make
any appropriation for the mainten-
ance of the institutions so we must
build and maintain from the or
ganization fund. This will mean
that we can only build one hospital
at this time. We can serve the
state best from Payette, hence We
will start that institution first.

WHO is THIS NEW
ATLANTA ASSAILANT
OF STATE OFFICIALS?

For the information of those who
have read an article sent out from At
lanta to the press of the state, over
the signature of L. N. Huff, assailing
the integrity of the members OF the
Railroad Commission of Georgia also
the public utilities of the state; and
so that the public may draw its own
conclusions as to the reliability and
responsibility of L. N. HUFF, below is
republished a card which originally
appeared in the Atlanta Journal.
The absence of Floyd Woodward
from Atlanta at this time is unfort-
innate for the advocates of Municipal
Ownership. He would probably also
advocate the abolition of the Criminal
Courts as we'll as the Railroad Com
mission:
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 26 1921.
Editor The Atlanta Journal: In
your issue of January 10th you pub
lished a card from DIR. l.. n. HUFF
about the recent gas rate hearing be-
fore the Railroad Commission OF Geor-
gia.
ANY one who was present at this
hearing would not recognize the case
from DR.. Huff's newspaper prcsenta-
ton of it. AS a matter of TACT, it was
perfectly plain to all those present that
neither DIR. Huff nor his lawyers had
any understanding of the case; and
his card tries still further to fool the
people of the state, Huff didn't put up
any witnesses, but the questions his
| lawyers asked the company's witnesses
| displayed such total ignorance OF the
subject matter as TO make DR.. Huff
the butt for the ridicule of the audi
ence.
Il am surprised to see DR.. HUFF III
his card making pretensions OF pub
! lie decency' Probably he thinks that
the people of this town have forgot
ten his criminal and other court rec
| ords in Atlanta Why doesn't he tell
them about a suit that J. Kahn brought
against him in the superior court OF
| Fulton county in August, 1919? Kahn
accused Huff of conspiring with Hog
sed and another party, to detraud him
/ in gambling game; that in pursuance
OF this conspiracy they invited him to
room in the Princeton Hotel on
August %, 1919, and gave him a drink
| OF liquor, which he alleges had been
drugged, and that he was made drunk
and sick and mentally irresponsible;
that while he was in this condition
they got him to join in game OF
craps and took all the money that he
had; that L. n Huff got about $4,000
of his money. L. N. Huff was found
guilty in the criminal court of At
lanta and fined $4,000 for his part in
the crap game, and i'll addition to that,
L. n Huff paid J. Kahn the sum Of
$4,000 in settlement of the suit above
mentioned, which was the full amount
Kahn claimed that Huff got away from
him On this record | don't think that
Dr. L. N. Huff has any license to talk
about public decency, for certainly he
doesn't know what it is. Yours very

Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast

This excellent, common-sense
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more Importance Than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast q
glass of hot water with teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
fying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-

FINDS GIANT FOREST TREE;
MEASURES 81 FEET AROUND
Contains Enough Lumber to Build
Nine Six-Room Houses.

Timber cruisers working in the for
est near Fork, Wash, have discovered
what is believed to be the largest liv-
ing cedar tree in the United States.
1t measures 81 feet in circumference,
and ten feet above the ground is II
feet in diameter The shape is very
symmetrical, the gradual decrease in
size being slight until the first limbs,
about Us feet above the earth.
The tree has grown up in thicket
OF other cedars, many of which are
six to ten feet in diameter. One OF its
neighbors is so close as to touch the
giant, and three more guard the other
sides, about ten feet distant. To get
the big tree felled loggers would have
to cut down the big ones about it
first.
1t is estimated that this big cedar,
if solid, and it appears to be in good
living condition, contains approximate
ly 100000 feet OF lumber. Carpenters
say that the average six-room house
contains about 10000 feet of lumber,
so that this one cedar tree has in its
big trunk enough lumber to build nine
such houses.

Observation-Disclosures of thous-

WILLIAMS is GIVEN
LIFE IMPRISON MINT
JASPER COUNTY FARMER RE-
CEIVES SENTENCE CALMLY.
AFFECTED BY WIFE'S SOBS.

CONVICTION, Ga.-John S. Will
liams was found guilty Saturday and
recommended to life imprisonment
The trial was the first one arising
from accusation that Williams caused
the killing of eleven negro farm hands
after department of justice agents had
started to investigate alleged peonage
charges on his farm February IL last.
Williams appeared to take his con-
viction calmly, but when his wife and
daughters broke into sobs their grief
affected him and he struggled to hide
his emotions as he sought to comfort
them. He was allowed to remain in
the court room with them for ten or
fifteen minutes before being taken to
Atlanta for confinement in the Fulton
county jail.
Little Daughter Defends Father.
Williams family-wife, daughters
and one son, DR.. Gus Williams, who
were present when sentence was pro-
nounced-are back on the home place.
They left town shortly after the court
pronounced sentence on the aged de-
fendant.
HE is innocent; know it," said
little 11llle, ten year Olu daughter Vi
Williams, as she was taken from the
court room.
Only a few minutes previously she
had thrown her arms around her faith
er's neck, and Historically said;
Daddy, | can't stand this
Mrs. Williams, aided by her son,
DR.. Gus Williams, left the room, sob
bing aloud.
Not once did Williams stoical ex-
preston change except when he al
fectionately embraced and kissed each
member of the family goodbye.
Don't worry" he said in husky
voice, as he was led away by officers.
Williams Confident.
To friends he reiterated, as deputies
prepared to remove him to Atlanta:
Il will get a new trial and | will
be acquitted" The motion for new
trial will be heard at Decatur April 80.
Williams is under indictment in
Newton county for the alleged muir
der of two more engroes. Plans have
not been made to place him on trial
on these charges.
Monday the Jasper county grand
Jury met at Monticello to investigate
the cases.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Lawyers

the record set by the present house.
Bankers come second with 20, three
less than they have had at any time

Farmers are third with D. which
is more than they have had at any

Der of men actively identified in the
ownership and management OF public
utilities has decreased gradually from
IL in the 9th congress to tlve now.
The new congress has one
member whose non-political employ

Care of House Plants.

bloom without these three things,
and it is well to remember that a
house in which plants will not thrive
is probably house in which neither

Growing plants in a house are a
pretty fair index of. its air. light and
moisture conditions, and may be re-
garded as a sort of meter for them,
as the thermometer is for tempera-
ture and the clocks for time.
Plants that have come from the
potted and grown. and their future
depends on our care Of them. They
should be placed in a sunny window,
though ferns and begonias will do
fairly well without much sunlight.
They must not be allowed to freeze,
but must be near enough to the win

Trying on a Suit.

Each year there are different pit
falls for the unwary in the buying
Of ready-made clothes. Here are
some Of the things to remember when
you go this year to buy a ready
made suit.
Be sure it is big enough around
the armholes. Most of the suits are
made with sleeves that are fitted into
the armholes rather snugly. Just
notice the feeling and be sure that it
is comfortable.
Look to the sleeves around the
hands and wrists. One of the at
tractive things about many Of the
suits is that they are made with
pecially does the trim sleeve at the
hand look we'll But be sure it Is
not tight enough SO that at the hrst
really warm day you will have to
tug and tug to get the coat oyer the
hands.
the suit will do and order it. Try
the skirt on carefully. Whatever may
be said about the probable return to
favor Of the full skirt, the suit skirt
is still made scant. Sometimes a
Jacket will prove quite large enough
and the skirt will stick over the hips
and refuse to be pulled into place.
Never be content in trying on a
suit to look at it only without your
hat on. Remember that you wear a
hat usually with a suit and pose
your hat carefully on your ht ad be-
fore a mirror while you have the
suit on. The effect is usually much
better with the hat than without it,
for suits are made to be- topped off
by a hat. And IL 1t isn't better. then
tho suit isn't the right one for you to
choose-unless your hat is wrong.
Anyway, be sure the two go together
and compliment each other.
