IN MOTHERHOOD
A woman needs all the strength possible to take good
care of her baby. The reflections of a married woman
are not pleasant if she
v- is delicate, run-down,
or over-worked. She
feels “played out.”
Her smile and good
spirits have taken
flight It worries her
husband as well as
herself.
This is the time to
build up her strength
and remove those
weaknesses or ailments
which are'the seat of
• her trouble.

the proper functions
of womanhood, en

overcomes those disorders and derangements of woman

well. All druggists. Liquid or tablets.
COLUMBUS, GA.—“I was in a nervous and debilitated state
of health' when one of my neighbors advised me to take Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I can truly say that I have never
taken a medicine that strengthened and helped me as quickly as
‘Favorite Prescription.’ I have also taken the ‘Prescription’ during
the first trying months of expectancy with the same beneficial
result. I would recommend its use by all women who need a

ATLANTIAN DIES
IN WRECK; CAUSE
NOT YET KNOWN
Causes of the derailment which
wrecked the engine and five coaches
of the first section of the “Dixie
Flyer;’’ the limited train of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail
way, at Copeland’s crossing Friday
afternoon, and resulted in the death
of Engineer Julius 1 E. Boston, of At
lanta. had not been established Sat
urday morning.
J. A. Baldwin, superintendent ot
the railway company, declared that
investigation thtis far had failed to
reveal the reason for the derailment.
The chief engineer of the line was
at the scene of the wreck early Sat
urday, making an investigation, but
at the hour this . edition went to
press he had rendered no report.
Mr. Baldwin denied the theory, at
first advanced, tnat the train was
running at an unusual speed.
“The Flyer was running about
thirty miles an 1 hour,” he said, “ac
cording to our information, and ac
cording to every indication. It was
three hours late, and having lost its
right of way, was proceeding with
caution. The division is
known to be uneven, and difficult to
run, and a speed greater than thirty
five miles an hour is very unusual
there. We do not know what caused
the wreck. A full report will be made
later. It is a very regrettable cir
cumstance, since Mr. Boston was one
of our best pilots and an excellent
man.’’
The derailment occurred at 2:30
o’clock Friday. Many of the passen
gers were Atlantians, but.nobody was
hurt, other than Mr. Boston; John
Hardy, the fireman, who suffered a
broken arm and bruises, and J. J.
Hollingsworthy, an Atlanta mail
clerk, who was injured internally.
Both of the latter will recover, ac
cording to local atending physicians

Questions Answered
1. Q. —How do Eskimos bury their
dead?
1. A. —When an Eskimo dies, the
body is removed from the house
through a window or a hole made in
the wall, never through the doorway.
An enclosing wall of stone is built
around the grave, oval or oblong,
two or three feet high, leaving just
enough space for the body. It is
lined with moss, the body wrapped
in deerskin, entombed, and the grave
covered with a large flat stone. The
effects of the dead are generally laid
on top, sometimes a few buried
within.
2. Q. —When were the first laws
passed in this country for the bet
terment of roads?
2. A. —The first good roads legis
lation was enacted by the Virginia
house of burgesses in 1632. The act
provided that each person should
work a certain number of days an
nually on the' road and that thp
parish surveyor should have chargp
of the administration of the law. \
3. Q.—How long have safety pins
been used?
3. A. pins can be traced
back to the fifteenth century, B. C.,
when pins were made of bone and
bent over, shaped like the modern
safety pin. Many of them have been
found in graves of that period. Since
then, the safety pin has passed
through many changes and been
made of various metals. An average
of 1,000,000 gross of safety pins are
now manufactured yearly.
4. Q.--—Where was the first toll
road in this country?
4. A. —The first road of this kind
was the Lancaster pike from Phila-

Woman Heid by Police
On Charges Preferred
By Girl From Virginia
As a result of the testimony of
Miss Ruth Copper, a pretty seven
teen-year-old girl of Roanoke, Va.,
who declared that she had been forci
bly introduced into the underworld
against her will, Recorder George
Johnson Saturday afternoon bound
Mrs. M. D. Beard, of 24 Houston
street, to the state courts on a
charge of running a disorderly house.
Miss Cooper was the only Witness
that testified against Mrs. Beard, and
she related a pitiful story of how
Mrs. Beard had professed to want
to take care of her, when she had
lost her position and friends, and had
no place to go.
“I carne to Atlanta three weeks
ago,” said Miss Cooper, ‘‘and I met
Mrs. Beard, who told me that she
would give me a home with her until
I could find work. All went well for
a short time, until I had spetft all
my money and had no work.
“Then Mrs. Beard suggested some
awful things to me, and when I re
fused, she attempted to introduce me
to the underworld against my will —
it was awful, and the first chance I
got I escaped and'reported her to the
police.”
Miss Cooper is being held at police
station for the arrival of her par
ents from Roanoke, who have noti
fied the police that they are on their
way to take their daughter back
home. No charges were made
against Miss Cooper by the police.

5. A.—The Sam Brown belt was
never authorized for wear in this
country, and it would be contrary
to regulations to wear it.

that as the United States is not a

When railway engines were new in
the world they pounded the rails with
the aid of cord wood. They were
small and broke no speed records, as
speed records go these days. The
only large thing about them was the
smokestack, which needed to be large
to carry off the large volume of
smoke made by burning wood.
The little engine shown above is
the one that should have carried
President-elect Harding to Point Is
abel, but happened to be laid up for
repairs at the time.
Few of these wood-burning loco
motives now are in running. Nu
northern railroad uses them excepting
in some lumber localities where they
sre used on branch lines and for
switching purposes. A few small
southern roads uss them exclusive

Office Boy Tells How
And Why Fie Stole
$4,300 From Co.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4. —Arrested
here tonight after he had bought a
ticket for San Francigc®, Eliott
Michner, 15-year-old Philadelphia of
fice boy, told police the story of a
week’s travel and adventure that fol
lowed his disappearance from the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, Novem
ber 26, with $4,300 of the company’s
money. Officers found $3,600 of the
money in his suit case and the rest
he told them he had spent.
The S7OO that was missing had
gone, he admitted, in the purchase of
new clothes —suits with long trous
ers—for thre-dollar meals in the
best hotels in Philadelphia, New
York and Chicago, for one-dollar tips
to waiters and for berths in Pullman
cars. There were movies also, and
other entertainment,'
He was helping pay off employes
in the company’s office when he took
the money—“just drew a couple of
years’ salary in advance,” to told the
police.
“Who wouldn’t?” he asked. “I was
getting eight dollars a week as an
office boy in the Baldwin works. They
hand me $4,300. I had to count it,
too, you know, and they tell me to
take it to the paymaster. It was
more money than I ever laid eyes on
before. It looked awful big and it
felt awful big. I had the feel of it
right in my hand when I saw an
open door. Well, I blew. Who
wouldn’t?”
First he went to Camden. N. J.,
bought clothes there, and then came
to New York. He intended to go west
and “loaf a bit” but he read in the
papers that he was believed to have
gone to Spokane, where his father
was reported dying, so he went only
as far as Chicago. Life palled
and he came back to New York and
then went to Philadelphia. No one
recognized him there so he returned
to New York last night and decided
to chance the west. As he bought
his ticket a detective arrested him.
After first telling the detective
that he had been visiting friends
here and was going to the Pacific
coast to see relatives, he later ad
mitted the theft and told his story.
He was placed in charge of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children.

“The law is supreme and the law
