This statement has been veri fied In the opinion of several of the doctors of Thomasville. It is a sig nificant statement that has a ten dency to emphasize emphatically the health of Thomasville during the summer. At this time, in years past, there has been more or loss fever of virulent tyre and many suf fered. This year it has been mater ially cut down. Su-*h a condition is one which should he especially gratifying to those who have made a systematic and conscientious effort to improve health conditions by better sanitary measures and the observation of such rules as tend to decrease causes for disease. Part of this—a major part, perhaps—is attributable to the efforts of the Mayor to clean up.the torrn. He has done this conscient iously and whenever he has heard of irregularities that tend to promote and breed disease, he has taken the bull by the horns and rectified the error. The other part is attri butable to the anti-fly campaign which has been waged vigorously for the past three years. It has helped wonderfully. The Ladies Study Class is due their proportionate share for the condi tion in that they first conceived and carried out the idea of a cleaner and better Thomasville, with their clean up days and efforts to teach the peo ple just such things as would crease the cause for epidemics and disease of various kinds. This work can be carried to a more successful termination than ever and it is the Of course everybody knows j hope of The Times-Enterprise that what Senator. • the city will take such steps as will o '(guarantee the enforcement of many If the ladles wear the slit skirt j regulations for better sanitation and simply to show their limbs, why not; health.

We are Indeed glad to note this tendency on the part of the farmer and to con- gntulate the girls upon the great HB JPt their example. ter it has been felled and cut into lops. To apply such a rule with reasonable accuracy to standing trees recjwires either exj»erieace or carefui measurements. It is desir able that an owner who has timber whic h is for sale to he able to make a fairly accurate estimate of the amount of timber per acre. To do this it is necessary to determine the number of 16-foot logs in each tree and the diameter of each log inside the bark at Its top. The diameter of the tree can be measured near the ground and from this diameter suc- reasive deductions muit be made to allow for the thlckneo* of the bark and the taper of the stem of the tree ent logs. Since trees often have Ir regular or swollen butts it is custom ary to measure the diameter of the ctem at some distance above the ground, usually at 4 1-2 feet or about breast heiglit, taking the average di ameter in the case of such stems as are very flat or irregular in cross sections. A yard stick or a long rule can be used for measuring diameters, but measuienients made with these will seldom be accurate. A large carpen ter’s square can be used for measur ing small trees with considerable speed and accuracy. When a large number of tries of lajgc*r size than two feet is to be measured, a caliper should to *0*4. Thii can to made by fastening n stationary arm about 20 inches long at right angles to the end of a strait.ht strip of wood nbou* two inches wide. Beginning at the inner edge of the stationary arm lay off in inches a scale which can be notched along the edge of the strip tc slide over it. When the stem of a tree is clasped between the two arms the diameter of the tree is read from the nearest inch inside the movable arm. A satisfactory caliper which will do serviceable work can be made in a farmer's workshop within an hour. From the diameter of a tree means* ured a‘ breast height deduct for bark thickness: Two inches from trees less than 11 inches in diameter. Two inches from trees between It and 16 inn^s 1m diameter. Three Inches from trees more than 17 inches in diameter. GA. SUFFRAGISTS GET CHARTER Atlanta, Aug. 15.—If the Georgia Suffragettes can’t .get the right to vote, they can at least have a char ter. Judge John T. Pendleton of the Superior Court has granted a for mal charter to the "Georgia Wom an’s Suffrage Asociation," as an aux iliary to the National Organization. This means that the "votes for women’’ campaign in Georgia has formally begun, and that women speakers will be • sent here from other states in the near future to advocate the suffrage movement. It may be that some real mili tants will be brought into Georgia within the near future, though lead ers of the suffrage movement In Atlanta say they are not in sympa thy with mltttast methods.

WIT TO ADOPT GlRL BASIES Twice as Many Requests of Foundling Institutions For Girls Than Boys. "We would like a girl baby. She must have blonde hair and blue eyes and if she has a dimple it would be pli the nicer. Will you please let us know as soon as possible?" This is not a communication ad dressed to high heaven, or the land of the stork. It is merely one of the innumerable notes received by a foundling institution in New York City. And they furnished a specimen with all the requirenvnts demanded, says the New York Press. Ailhouph as a general rule it is necessary to comply with such de tailed requests, there is one, how ever, that is most frequently insisted upon. A wedded couple may pray ami hoi|Te that their first born be a boy, but the couple that wishes to adopt a child usually wishes a girl. The call for girl babies is pretty nearly twice that for hoys. Why this is so is difficult to say. It .nay he that the childless couple or the "old maid" or the bachelor feel that they can lavish more tenderness upon the fragile waif of femininity. Or it may Le the realization that the path of the unmothered girl is likely to bo considered more difficult than that of the boy, who more easily will he able to care for himself, and so love and charitable impulse are combined. There is hardly an abandoned kid dy, male or female, who does not own a home full of love and com-, fort in some part of the country. There is no state or city institu tion for foundlings in New York. The largest institution of the sort is the New York Foundling Hospi tal, which is controlled by the Sis ters of Charity, and which receives contributions from the city. The great majority of abandoned infants are brought or sent there and are baptized in the Catholic faith, and eventually are placed in Catholic homes. The other institution is the New York Nursery and Child’s Hos pital, but that does not care for as many foundlings as the former. FI RE AT FA VO. Home of Mr. A.
