THE LEADER ENTERPRISE The People Should Learn To Discriminate Editor, Fitzgerald Enterprise, Fitzgerald, Georgia, My Dear Sir: I have read with much interest your editorial entitied ‘‘Tamper ing with Human Lite.” You are perfectly right in your criticisms of public urderstanding of health topics. In the last sentence of your editorial, you say, ‘lt would seem to us that the medical socie ties would see to it that a bunch of crooks couldn’t prey on the ignor ance and credulity of the public.” Have you stopped to consider what would happen to the medical societies 1f they attempted to en fr%rce the medical practice acts in the different states fof the protec tion of the people? They would immediately be attacked as trying to create or maintain a ““medical trust” or ‘*medical monopoly” and would be accused of selfish motives in trying to put out of business ignorant fakirs'and charlatans who are preying on the public health and prosperity. This isn’t any imaginary state ment. It has happened hundreds of times all over the country un til the medical organizations have gotten tired of being suspected and accused of such motives when they were trying to protect the people from the worst kind of swindlers and harpies, In fact, the organized medical profession has about come to the conclusion that it is impossible to attempt the punishment of these fakirs until the people have come to have enough knowledge of modern scientific medicine and enough con fidence in educated medical men to treat these imipostors the same way that fakirs and crooks in all other lines are treated, but this movement must come from the public rather than from physicians, Yery truly yours, Frederick R. Green, Secretary Council on Health and Publie Instruction. Casper Hide Co. Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Hides, Skins, Pelts, Wool, Beeswax, Tallow, Furs, Metal, etc. We pay the market price. J.

Sextette From Lucia And Attorney Hooper Atlanta, Aug. 11.—They are tell ing an amusing story at the Federal building on United States Attorney Hooper Alexander, who is a great lover of music. Nobody could un derstand this year why he decided not to take his usual annual vaca tion until it was discovered that a real, old-styled hurdy-gurdy which plays the Sextette from Lucia and the Trovatore tunes has been in stalled in a shooting gallery in a neighborhood beneath the District Attorney’s window so that the lyric tunes of the Italian opera float up ward all day long. They say he sits there and listens to them for hours’at a time with a rapt smile on his face. Good Middling Cotton 10¢ The Dodd Supply Company, know as the ‘‘poor man’s friend” are making an attractive propo sition to their supply customers for meeting their indebtedness promptly. They are offering 10 cents per pound for good mid dling cotton, and 1 cent per pound higher than the market price for lower grades providing treir customers turn them over enough cotton to pay their in debtedness in full on or before Scpt. 15th. This hustling firm were in the lead last year making a similar offer, and obtained enough ad vertising since then and enjoyed sufficient amount of more trade to make up this loss to themsel ves.

Defeated But Hot Discouraged i The Woman suffrage Bill argued ibefore the House committee on Constitutional Amendments in the lCapitol in Atlanta on Thursday July, 29. Three women spoke Tor thHE“hith while two who opposed. The committee had declined to hear speeches on the subject from any man. Over a hundred women. most of them keenly interested in the passage of the bill sat in the house} listening debate, and many of the legislators stayed and listened,‘ largely out of curiosity. Some of them seemed quite convinced, however,and Mrs. W.R. Felton an enthusiatic suffragist of over 80 years was heartily applauded by both suffragists and the antis. The other speakers were Miss F. S. Whiteside and Mrs. Elliott 'Cheatam, in its favor. Suffragein Georgia seems to be making headway every day. The papers in Atlanta that formerly refused even the press notices offered them, are now sending regular reporters for the news. Editorially also, they are beginn- * Special Lots!
