Governor Slaton starts off Ills ad ministration on a sizzling day. THH STATE’S FINANCES. It looks as if McXab threw down a good Job without due consideration and reason. There are over a million and a balf women in the State of Illinois who are entitled o vote. It takes an awful long time and a great bis lot of talk t 0 pass a tariff bill. But then, It's worth the price. It Is delightful to see the old- fashioned waltz and two-step danced by modest young men and women. The Blue and Gray wont have so hard a time getting to each other at Gettysburg as they did fifty years age. Have you a “wishing sash,*’ girls? You aren’t In it, you know, unless you have one of those, the latest from the capitol. Vndertakers In the Bronx—(a very desirable residence portion of New York)—complain because goats eat the crepe from the doors. The weather forecaster who rules over Georgia says that the weather will be cooler. Correct, as It Is not possible to get any warmer. Currency reform must accompany aay tariff legislation, thinks OUle In much of the current discussion of housing and city-planning, the need of a basis of observed 'act is apparent. A recent analysis by halniers, the medical officer of Glas gow, oi conditions in Glasgow Is an mportant contribution to the diffl- ■u 11 problem of house-room end death-rate. An examination of the age distribution of the population of Glasgow showed that n consid erable proportion of the difference ill the death-rate recorded for dwell ings cl various size could be as cribed to the large number of chil dren III the smaller houses. Tin* number of children under 5 years constituted lb per cent, of the total population living in one-roo.ii house*, H jer cent. In two-room, 7 per .-ent in three-room and only -1 four per cent, in houses of four rooms and upward. Further analysis, however, showed j b]y jl3 inattent | on I that simple differences in age dis tribution would no*, explain alto gether the differences in death-rate in houses of various sizes. Assum ing a standard age and sex distribu tion, it was found that a population of 100,000 with the Glasgow death- rate would yield 2,024 deaths an nually In one-rroom houses, 1,6X3 i t *wo-room, 1,263 in *.hree-room and 1.032 in houses of four or more rooms, while in institutions the death problem becomes very com plex. In infectious diseases, includ ing pneumonia, the higher rate fell on the smaller houses . Diseases ot the nervous system In adults, on tli* other hand, were apparently more prevalent among the inhabitants of the larger houses. Chalmers re gards the evidence as showing that th* children born In the smaller houses are from the start under a serious physical handicap which in related to some extent to the food- supply. This could be traced 'o prevalence In this group of various forms of disease of the digestive organs. "In later life the influence of the birth surroundings did not wholly disappear, but these were obscured by the influences of adult life, which, as 1n the case of dis eases of the nervous eystem, tended to become degenerative in type, and appeared more frequently among the occupants of house* of larger size." Whether or not these particular There (seems a disposition on the part of the legislature, fearlessly and soberly to tackle the problem which the states financial conditions pre sents. There is a keen disposition on the part of the members of the Legislature to dispose of that per plexing problem In a manner which will reflect credit u;on its members 1 and relieve the state of the eniliar- rahsni'nt which It has been caused. The tangled condition of affairs is to be thoroughly probed by the most intelligent and experienced men o f both houses and it is probable that something may be done to rectify 1 existing conditions. Some of the J newspapers of the state and politi cian**, too, have, for the past H years more or less, probably nior tried »o arrange for the prompt payment of Georgia school teachers. They have all failed, through the in ability of the legislature cr possi- The matter has become again one to be discussed and rehashed. The promises have often been made that it would he satisfactorily arrangtd. That’s all it has amount- I ed to. Governors have talked on it. politicians have worked with It, leg islators have tackled It again and again and yet It stands today persis*ently, impervious to attack, as ever before. Like the rest of them say, we repeat, "Something ought to be done." This is by far the mos* important matter which the le#lu- laturc will be called to act upon. J.

FAMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS Bj Being Constantly Supplied With Thedford’e Black-Draught. McDuff, Va.—“I suffered lor several years,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, ol this place, "with sick headache, and Jew will Interfere with a fair "trial. How to keep prejudice such as en gendered hy such a state ot affairs off a panel of twelve men Is a prob lem that both the prosecution and defense are equally interested in. though from opposite viewpoints, and that Is the reason why the drawing of the Frank Jury may turn out to be the most important thing In the whole trial.
