CALOMEL ROBBED OF
NAUSEA AND DANGER
The Man of the Hour, and Why
William J. Harris was born in Ce-
dartown, Polk county, Georgia, Feb
ruary 3, 1868. He was educated in
the common schools of Polk county
and the University of Georgia, teach
ing school during the summer to pro
vide means for his college training.
In 1895, he married Miss Julia Whee
ler, daughter of Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
the distinguished Southern cavalry
leader. Mr. Harris has three brothers
now serving in the United States
Army, Gen. P. C. Harris, Maj. Seals
Harris and Capt. Hunter Harris. Many
young men have been beneficiaries
of Mr. Harris' aid in obtaining an edu
cation to equip them for life's work.
Political Service.
As Chairman of the Polk County
Democratic Executive Committee, he
succeeded in establishing the “white
primary," in 1892.
As private secretary to Senator A.
8. Clay, and under the training of this
distinguished Georgian, Mr. Harris be
gan, in early life, to look after the
Interests in Washington of Georgians
from every section.
In 1912 Mr. Harris managed Presi
dent Wilson’s first campaign in Geor-
*ia; was elected chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, and played prominent part in roll
ing up the largest majority Georgia
ever gave a candidate for President.
Legislative Service.
Mr. Harris represented the 38th dis
trict in the state senate in 1911-12, and
there worked and voted for every
measure that would help the farmers
and benefit the taxpayers of the stale.
Some of these include
(1) Mr. Harris introduced and aid
ed in the passage of the bill abolish
ing the unlimited fees of oil inspec
tors, and fixing their maximum salary
at $100 per month. This law lias
*w»ed the state thousands of dollars.
In 1917 alone, it saved the state net,
$182,588.
(2) Mr. Harris Introduced and pass
ed the bill requiring lobbyists to reg
ister, thereby eliminating the grafting,
professional lobbyist, and protecting
legislation.
(3) Mr. Harris advocated the sepa-
rate leasing of the W. & A. Railroad
from the other state property in. Chat
tanooga, a policy since adopted by the
“Lease Commission."
(4) Personally, Mr. Harris has al
ways been a consistent prohibitionist,
and has always supported all measures
looking to freeing the state from the
liquor traffic.
National Service.
As director of the United States Cen
sus, to which he was appointed by
President Wilson, officials today say
that Mr. Harris was the most efficient
director since the bureau was estab
lished. The chief "criticism” against
his administration, made by Judge
Hughes, Republican nominee for Presi
dent, was that he appointed so many
Georgia Democrats t« positions in the
department.
President Wilson appointed Mr. Har
ris acting secretary of commerce, in
the absence of Secretary Redfleld, and
cordially approved his services and ef
ficiency as a temporary member of the
cabinet.
Under Republican rule the Wall
street gamblers were permitted to keep
down the price of cotton by including
in the census estimate the number of
hales of linters cotton. Mr. Harris had
the linters estimate separated from
the regular cotton reports, which re
duced the estimates and tended to
raise the price of cotton. During Re
publican rule, it was freely charged
(Advertisement.)
rr-
that there were "leaks’’ in qotton esti
mates of the census bureau. Not once
since the administration of Mr. Harris
has there been the slightest suspicion
of a "leak’’ in the census reports.
In the census bureau, Mr. Harris
changed the “age limit,” fixed by the
Republicans, so that Confederate Vet
erans could be given the same oppor
tunities as Union Veterans-; and many
old Confederate Soldiers are now hold
ing good places in the department. It
was in keeping with his devotion to
the old soldiers. HU father was a
brave Confederate Veteran, and his
father-in-law was the gallant “Little
Joe” Wheeler.
Promoted by the President.
Due to Mr. Harris’ efficient adminis
tration of the census bureau. President
Wilson promoted him by aippointing
him a member of the federal trade
board. Recognizing his ability, his
colleagues, two years later, elected him
chairman of the board. Resigning to
enter his campaign for United States
senator as the loyal supporter of Pres
ident Wilson in winning the war, as
against the present junior senator from
Georgia, Mr. Harris carried with him
the love, esteem, confidence and best
wishes of his colleagues, the depart
ment heads and the President who had
further expressed his confidence in Mr.
Harris by the following additional ap
pointments :
(1) Appointed by the President as
member of the price fixing committee
of the war industries board, to fix
prices for army supplies. When New
England manufacturers endeavored to
fix the price of cotton, Mr. Harris op
posed them most vigorously. He also
brought charges against the “bagging
trust’’ which is now facing trial.
(2) The President named the sec
retary of agriculture, Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Harris a committee of three to in
vestigate the advisability of the gov
ernment taking over the meat packing
houses. The President’s confidence
was further expressed when Mr. Har
ris resigned, by the request that he
name his own successor, and Mr. Har
ris named Hon. Victor Murdoch.
The Confidence of Mr. Wilson.
Further indicative of the confidence
of President Wilson in Mr. Harris, is
the following conclusion of the Presi
dent’s letter accepting his resignation
from tlie federal trade commission to
run for the United States senate:
“May I not say how warmly I have
appreciated the way in which you have |
performed the difficult and often dell- 1
cate duties assigned to you in the
trade commission? I am Fure that j
I am expressing the general feeling ;
when I express my regret at your j
withdrawal.
“Cordially and sincerely yours,
“WOODROW WILSON. I
"Hon. William J. Harris,
"Federal Trude Commission.”
Mr. Harris’ Qualifications. j
Mr. Harris is in close touch with
conditions at the national Capitol. His
relations with the administration are ,
intimate. He has the confidence and :
esteem of the President and depart- 1
ment heada. Through these relations
he is in better position to represent
Georgia in the United Stales senate—
her people, her commercial, financial
and agricultural interests and to ren
der effective aid end service to Geor
gia soldier and sailor boys, fighting
for Americanism and Democracy,—
than probably any other Georgian now :
in the public eye. Mr. Harris’ elec- 1
tion will mean that the good name
of Georgia will be redeemed from the
charge of disloyalty and “kalserism 1

New York, July 27.—I wonder if
here is anything more appealing to
in average woman than (he soft fluf-
f\ details we call lingerie? No matter
bow plain they are, if there is a touch
(i. handiwork and a dainty ribbon or
-o they are attractive. Now that silk
and satin have invaded this realm
where linen and cotton reigned su-
preme there is no limit to the possi
bilities.
The narrow silhouette, which is the
prevailing one according to Madam
Mode, demands underwear built on
narrow lines. The frillest petticoats
must be limited in width and the num-
1k r of ruffles carefully cornted or one
will be the horrible thing—“unfashion
able.”
The Material Side.
Batiste and nainsook are used for
the garments cne wishes to be soft.
The Japanese nainsook is considered
the best by many, for it has a soft
luster that does not disappear in the

fully soft colors. From white to
cream and even the deeper shade of
ecru the shades are bewitching. Then,
too, the other colors, flesh, pink, baby
blue, lavender and appic-green are
charming if cne wishes for more color.
With the two-tone ribbons, any effect
can be carried out perfectly.
This fad of intense colors for under
clothes lias passed, 1 am glad to say.
Futurish yellows, oranges and purples
never did seem appropriate. They are
all very well for (he boudoir, the neg

“never wears out” and can stand any
number of trips to the tub, especially
now that there are so many ways of
recoloring it. One hears every now
and then of chemises and petticoats
made from last year's evening dress
es. This is not as far-fetched as one
would think.
Then there are the mercerized ma
terials that look very much like silk
or satin. Sateen is splendid for petti
coats, slips and camisoles. It, too,
wears well and can be obtained in a
treat variety of eolerr.
An Interesting New Design.
Illustrated here is a most unusual
design, for the upper part fits very
much like a camisole and The lower
part is a new development of the en
velope chemise. The construction is
quite interesting; one straight length*
of thirty-six inch material is folded
underneath. The selvages on each
side are sewed together, leaving an
opening half way up above the lower
edge n each side. The lower edge is
slashed along the fold at either side,
leaving abort six inches uncut. The
slashed along the fold at either side,
leaving about six inches uncut. The
slashed portions are then gathered in
to sartight bands that button around
the knee. Lace can be whipped along
the opening, though it must not be
too full for it will be clumsy to wear.
Straps of ribbon hold it up over the
shoulders. The one illustrated has a
touch of hand embroidery on the cam
isole part, and has tiny lace buttons
to fasten it.
