ATLANT BEATS RECORD
ON NUMBER OF TWINS
(Special to the Banner.)
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 31.—Atlanta is
ahead of other American cities of
similar size in the number of twins
it has in proportion to the total an
nual crop of babies.
The average for most cities is ten
pairs of twins out of every nine hun
dred babies, while in Atlanta the birth
records show that there are ten pairs
of twins, not to mention occasional
triplets, out of every 840 babies.
Triplets are very rare, however, in
the I'nited States. They occur once
in eight thousand births on an aver
age, while once in every 370,000 cases
the proud, or perhaps indignant fath
er is informed that his family has
been augmented by four simultaneous
offspring.

A DELIGHTFUL FROCK IN VELVET.
6493
A pleasing model for a frock of
brown velvet trimmed with an Inserted
vest of green silk or metal cloth. The
revers may fasten across the vest at
CtrTTtNC CLIDE (
the front or be turned back in regu
lation fashion.
One is not limited to a narrow scale
of velvets because of the popularity of
these materials this season, for they run
through a large scale of colors and
prices. Cotton velvet is inexpensive
and exceedingly pret:y. The dress
shown here is fashioned of dark brown
cotton velvet, trimmed with silk braid
in the same shade. Fancy braid.orna-
ments finish the tabular ends of the
front extensions, and the high collar Is
buttoned over with fancy buttons. The I
inset Vest Is of metal cloth. This cos-
turns reproduced in serge, gabardine or j
voile Is also charming. In medium size 1
it requires 3% yards 54-inch material .
and 3% yards of inch-wide braid.
Loyalists of the V-shape neck per
suasion have their preference qatered
to, despite the round effect shown. For
the V outline, cut out neck edge of vest
on small “o” perforations. All of the
material Is folded In half, however, be
fore cutting. Then the back gore of 1
the skirt is laid into position first, fol
lowed by the collars, all along the '
lengthwise fold. Along the selvagq,
edge the front gore and the piecing aro (
laid. This is followed, working to the 1
right, by the cuff, sleeve, back, belt, t
vest and front (cut in one with the re
vers), the belt and back resting on the 1
lengthwise fold and the other sections
on a lengthwise thread.
If the front is desired straight, elimi
nating the revers. cut off the front edge
% inch outside of double “oo” perfora- '
tions. The folding over of the revers
across the inset vest is rather a pretty
idea, however, especially when a bit of
gay color is selected for the vest.
There are shades of green that min
gle congenially with brewn. If the gir- -
die Is made of self-material a pretty
idea at the back is to introduce point
ed tabs of the vest materia! to fold over
the belt. These tabs are held In place
with buttons of the dress material. The
cuffs may also be faced with the trim
ming selected for the vest.

Warsaw, Dec. 31.—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)—It has tak
en the most strenuous efforts of Ger
man medical forces to overcome the
epidemics of typhoid, smallpox,
rabies and other diseases that they
found prevalent in Poland when they
arrived. They had to contend, not
only with a shortage of medicaments,
but also with the distrust of the peo
ple and a distinct opposition to vac
cination that was overcome only with
difficulty.
Poland was immediately divided up
into forty-nine sections, in thirty-five
of which it was possible to install
German physicians, and additional
doctors are being brought in as fast
as possible. The first duty was to es
tablish sanitary conditions. With but
few exceptions the cities and towns
had never heard of a drainage sys
tem. The streets were disease breed
ers, and the public convenience sta
tions were dangerous in the highest
degree. In many places, including
Lodz with its 400,000 inhabitants, the
public was dependent for water on
wells that were spreaders of disease.
Seven thousand of Lodz’s 10,000 wells
have been examined and purified, and
the balance will be fit for use within
a few weeks.
Much to the astonishment of the
Polish population, and not without
opposition, the official notification of
disease was required, especially in
the prisons, the hospitals and other
public institutions where the Germans
found cholera, typhoid and typus nfe.
The opposition to these measures was
such that it was necessary to lay
down severe penalties for tailure to
comply with the new regulations.
Ever, the schools were discovered
to be disease, breeders, through the
medourn of teachers who were sick.
Great as the shortage of instructors
was, and is, many had to be forbidden
attendance on their schools in order
to check epidemics. A thorough
house-cleaning of hospitals, schools
and houses throughout the length and
breadth of Poland was immediately
begun.
Smallpox was the worst thing with
which the Germans had to combat.
They found an epidemic of it that ran
in a northeasterly direction, and
which was checked only by the vac
cination of between 400,000 and 500,-
000 persons. The epidemic is broken
now, but the vaccination of all the
population is impossible because of
a lack of personnel and of vaccine.
Typhus to a smaller extent existed
principally in Lodz, where strict Ger
man methods were introduced.
Cholera was prvalent along the right
bank of the Vistula, practically all of
which has been stamped out by this
time. To prevent the disease from
traveling into Germany, via the water
route, cholera prevention stations
were installed all along the Vistula
from "Warsaw to Thorn. Only infect
ed wounded prisoners not far enough
advanced to give evidences of the dis
ease have ever carried in into Ger
many.
Such hospitals as existed in Poland
were in part destrqyed when the Ger
mans arrived, and' the latter had to
erect new structures in addition to
putting the old ores in commission
again. Some 200 tospitals, six disin
fecting establishments, each capable
of handling 12,000 duly, 14 smaller in
stitutions of the sane sort, and count
less improvised stejrilizers, have been
built during the pa^. few months.
The Germans fond an astonishing
number of dogs, ihich apparently
had acquired the r£ lies by starvation
and by feeding on the stagnant re
mains of food not iestroyed by fire.
Many soldiers were oitten and infect
ed. Dogs by the hi idreds have been
shot, and the hospit is have been sup
plied with the verj latest and most
effective hydrophob 1 preventives and
curatives.
Since the Germs 1 medical forces
not only must hand 1 disease but also
prevent it where p isible, the strict
est possible wdteh 1 kept on all food
stuffs. A bureau ha been established
which maintains ve ;rinary surgeons,
examines slaughter houses, and pro
secutes purveyors c impure foods.
In order that exi ting needs might
be supplied, the e portation ban in
Germany on certain medicaments was
lifted, and Poland 1 iday is in a posi
tion to receive all t at it needs in the
pharmaceutical lint Pharmacists in
Poland are require 1 to list all their
supplies, and speculation in such sup
plies has been reduced to a minimum
by heavy penalties.
"German hygiene," declared the
physician in charge of all the work in
Poland, “remains as a heritage to
whatever government takes charge.
We have established a basis on which
others in the fliture can build.”

“Yes, sir, it is a fact, I have taken
seven bottles c»f Tanlac and have
gained twenty-three pounds,” said
Captain A. H. Miller, one of the best
known railroad men in Knoxville.
"Before I began taking it,” he con
tinued, “I only weighed one hundred
and fifty-one pounds. I now weigh
one hundred and seventy-four pounds,
and feel like a sixteen-year-old hoy.'
Captain Miller, who is the conduc
tor on trains Nos. 73 and 74, plying
between Knoxville and Harriman, on
the Southern Railway, had just arriv
ed in Knoxville, checked out his train
and reached his attractive home on
Scott street, when he was met by the
Tanlac Man
“I am indeed glad you called,” said
Capt. Miller, as he shook the hand of
the Tanlac representative and invited
him into his spacious parlor. "For
several weeks Mrs. Miller and myself
have been reading the testimonials ot
Knoxville citizens regarding the ben
eficial effects derived from taking this
wonderful medicine, and I had prom
ised my wife to go to the Kuhlman-
Chambless Drug Company’s drug
store and tell them what Tanlac had
done for me, but I have been too
busy.
“My restoration to health is the
talk of the railroad yards, and every
day I am being congratulated by my
friends upon liow well I look.
"I had for years been afflicted with
catarrh and stomach trouble,” con
tinued Capt. Miller, “and when spring
came I was in a wretched run-down
condition, a walking skeleton, if you
please, and just had to drag myself
about. Before I became afflicted with,
the terrible double complaint 1 weigh
ed 190 pounds, and was strong, ro
bust and healthy. I went from bad to
worse and occasionally was patched
up, but nothing I took in the way ot
medical treatment reached the spot,
and 1 was on the verge of taking an
extended lay-off from my duties.
"I could scarcely eat anything at
all. and what I did eat seemed to sour
on my stomach. I would fill up with
gas and seemed to be bloated all the
time, and my suffering was intense.
My stomach would pain me and burn
like a coal of fire. I was so consti
pated I had to take a purgative pellet
every night to get any temporary re
lief. I was cross and fretful and so
nervous that I never enjoyed a night's
sleep. Hissing steam, the noise
the train and the ringing of the bejl
grated on my nerves and all through
the hours of the night I could hear
these noises.
j “At time I would have dizzy spells
! and would stagger and frequently had
I palpitation of the heart. This was my
condition when I heard of Tanlac. I
was willing to try anything to get
well, and started in on a bottle. In
a few days 1 noticed a marked im
provement in my condition, and sent
and bought six more bottles. I have
taken seven bottles and here I am, in
better health than I have enjoyed for
twenty years.
"I can eat anything, have gained
twenty-three pounds, as I told you be
fore: I am not constipated at all, eat
hearty, sleep well and of mornings
' my wife has to pull me out of bed I
! sleep so soundly. I sleep all night
without hearing steam whistles and
moving cars and my nerves are now
j strong and I hardly know myself so
great has been my transformation
I from a weak, run-down man to a
strng, robust, healthy condition that
it is the talk of all those who know
me.”
