nue., swallowed a celluloid rattle

examine the baby with the X-ray,
Mrs. Albert Moore, of PA Central
avenue, appeared in the emergency
room with the rattle in her hand.
Mrs. Moore explained that she
had found the rattle in the Mitchell
home. and the doctors surmised that
the baby swallowed the rattle and
then coughed it up.
Mrs. Mitchell said she picked up
the rattle up from the floor and put
it on the bed, Later she placed the
baby on the bed and when she heard
the child gasping for breath and
saw blood trickling from its mouth.
she found the rattle missing.
Mrs. Mitchell screamed and neigh.
bors rushed in. One handled the
child, while the other summoned
the ambulance. Then the mother
and child were rushed to the Grady
hospital, and while they were there
Mrs. Moore went up to the Mitchell
apartment to await the verdict or
the doctors, and found the rattle.
The baby, Saturday night, was
suffering from a slight sore throat.

BOARD FORWARDS
NEW SWEET POTATO
RATE OBJECTIONS

The Georgia public service COM
mission has forwarded to the Inter
state commerce commission, in
Washington, additional reasons for
it's recent request that the interstate
commission suspend q new freight
rate schedule on sweet potatoes from
Georgia points, adopted by the car
riers in this state.
The state commission makes 1t
plain that it does not OBJECT to the
carriers using the same basis IN
fixing the rates on sweet potatoes as
were adopted by the interstate COM
mission fixing the rate on Irish
potatoes, but believes that the sweet
potato rates should not be on so
high a scale as the Irish potato rate
also applies to cabbage, while the
sweet potatoes shipped from Geor-
gia are cured.
The communication of the state
commission to the interstate COM
mission makes. the following COM
ment:
Must Meet Competition
GIN so far as this commission is
advised. there is no movement OF
sweet potatoes from Ohio and Mis-
sissippi river crossing to the MIS-
sissippi valley or southeastern terri
tory, this movement consisting oil
what is known as white, or Irish po-
tatoes, and at the season that TINS
movement takes place, it does not
come in competition with similar
movements from points in the south
east to the Mississippi valley, whers-
as the movement of cured sweet po-
tatoes from Georgia points to points
of destination shown in Glenn's l.
C. C. A-409, and particularly to the
Ohio and Mississippi river crossings,
is forced to meet the commerce.
competition from other producing
sections, principal of which is what
is known as the east shore of Viz
ginia and Delaware.
This commission submits that II
the method used by Agent Glenn IN
arriving at his proposed rates, IS
proper, the percentages used should
be sufficiently low to produce such
reasonable rates as to permit the
rrove,s ana shippers of sweet po-
tatoes in Georgia to meet competl-
ton, and permit OF free movement
Table in Detail
The table of present and proposed rates
is set forth as follows. with the Chicago
rates not published in the carriers schedule,
but are based on the proposals made by the
carriers to the state commission:

RESULTS ARE GOOD
DESPITE FUND NEED

MIILEDGEVILLE, Ga, June p
A remarkably high percentage OF re-
coveries from insanity, amounting TO
about 10 per cent Of the number Oh
natients. through the hospital treat
ment employed by the Georgia stare
sanitarium, was reported today by
Dr Ringer c.. Swint, superintendent
of the institution.
This percentage is very high for
the type Of Institution, according 10
DR.. Swint, because Of the fact that
all classes of patients are admitted
Four hundred and ninety-ntne pa
TENTS were discharged during 1927

proximately $50 have been dis

1923. The average number dis
charged every month is more imam
forty. These figures, according 10
DIR. Swint, show as great NUMBER Oh
recoveries from insanity as any SINH
lar American institution, and a much
greater number than the majority,
despite the fact that the hospital is
operating on insufficient approprla-
tons. and with an actual deficit for
the past several years.
DR.. Swint pointed out that while
all the number discharged were not
permanently cured, and some have
to be returned for further treatment,
a large per cent of the discharged
patients pursue normal lives after
leaving the institution.
An even smaller number OF the
patients discharged would have to

number of clinics were organized
over the state to keep in touch with
the patients discharged, Dr. Swint
declared The formation of such
clinics, similar to the one in Macon,
has long been recommended by the
sanitarium staff, but so far legisla-
tive appropriations have been insult
ficient for the purpose.
The most modern Of physical and
mental treatment. including occupa-
tional therapy, by which the patients
are given kinds of work they like
best and can best do, are used in the
restoring Of patients to normal life
Not all forms of insanity can be
given treatment that will restore the
patients, but large numbers Of insane
persons will recover if given propet
treatment in time.
Increased maintenance funds for
the sanitarium are being urged this
year in order that hospital facilities
may be enlarged to adequately care
for the increasing number Of pa

to a welcome extended by former
Senator II. A. Dupont and Mayor
Harvey. declared it is good to get
out of Washington and breathe the
pure air of America.
'of don't mean" he hastily added,
That the nations capital has an
unwhoJesome air, but it does one
good to get out and meet the rep
resentative citizens of this great re-
public, to see them at their tasks,
to get their views untouched by po-
litical bias and to realize that in
them rests safely and securely the
destiny of America"
Children In Greeting
The president said it was good to
see the children, twelve thousand OF

his course down the state.
Mr.. Harding referred to informa-
ton given him by Senator DUPONT
and his host of the day, Senator
Ball, that Wilmington was faced by
A scarcity Of labor and said the city
and other cities confronted by sim
liar conditions should be congratu-
lated.
The present situation in industry
the president asserted, was due &c
a realization by the American people
that to cure post war ills. they all
must get down to work and build
anew.
Reaching Dover, the old and quaint
capital of Delaware, late in the ait
ernoon, Mr.. and Mrs. Harding were
received at the state house by GOV
ernor Denney and entertained at a
second luncheon in the library OF
the capitol, where the president
again made a brief address.
1t was early in the evening before
the party arrived here, the princlpa
objective of the trip, to find the
little town filled to overlooking with
