DOWNING KILLED
TESTING PATENT
Atlanta Man’s Wife Uncon
scious Since News Came of
His Death in Train Wreck.
The body of James S. Downing, aged
46. of 34 Weft Peachtree street, who
was killed yesterday in the wreck of
the veterans’ special near Hattiesburg.
Miss., will arrive in Atlanta tonight.
Mr. Downing is survived by hi; wife
and two daughters, Miss Alma Down
ing, aged 19, a teacher in the public
schools, and Miss Lillian Downing,
aged 17, a pupil in the Girls High
school, and a brother. Jack Downing.
Mrs. Downing’s condition has been se
rious since she learned of her hus
band’s death. She was unconscious the
greater part of yesterday afternoon and
last night.
For the past three-, years Mr. Down
ing. who was formerly an engineer on
the Chicago and Northwestern rail
road, and later road foreman of en
gines of the Southern, had given all
his time to perfecting a device, intend
ed to increase the draft in locomotive
smoke stacks. Since the organization
of his company, the Downing Locomo
tive Draft Appliance Company, with
offices in the Candler building, he had
placed his patent on a number of
roads. At the time of his death he
was putting the appliance into actual
operation. The appliances were also
being tried out on the Mobile and Ohio,
the Southern, the Seaboard Air Line
ajid several other roads, and promised
to bring the Inventor a handsome roy
alty.
GENTRY BROS. SHOW
MADE HIT MONDAY;
HERE AGAIN TODAY
It takes more than hot weather or
rain to put a damper on an Atlanta
crowd when it is show-bound. This
was demonstrated yesterday when a
crowd that taxed the capacity of Gen
try Brothers’ shows saw the afternoon
performance on the Jackson street lots,
and another of greater size than the
most sanguine optimist expected at
tended the night show.
In the morning their street parade
passed through crowded lanes in the
business district and the more quiet
residential part of north Atlanta. While
throngs were waiting for the parade,
Atlanta girls were busy with the
badges of honor dispensed by them
yesterday.
The parade had hardly started to
move when one pretty girl darted back
of the mounted police escort and held
up the leader of the parade. He had to
have a tag as well as a city’ license.
Possessed of the license, he quickly se
cured the tag. He got more pleasure
out of the unofficial license than did
the children who saw the show yes
terday.
It is quite useless to try to criti
cise the Gentry shows in detail. It is
largely a trained animal show. For
more than 25 years it has visited At
lanta. . To sum it up. it has always
made good with amusement lovers, es
pecially the children, and It did so yes
terday.
This morning the parade left the
show grounds and made its way to
south Atlanta. It circled the capitol
and returned to the show grounds. A
crowd was in waiting when the doors
opened at 2 o’clock for the afternoon
performance, and a bigger crowd is ex
pected tonight.
Gentry Brothers will conclude their
engagement in Atlanta with she night
performance. The doors will open at 7
o'clock, and the performance will be
gin at 8 o’clock.

Judge Archbald Is
Probed in Secret by
Congress Committee
WASHINGTON. May 7.—With doors
locked and with stenographers and
committee clerks excluded, the house
committee on the judiciary began to
day a secret investigation of the
charges against Judge Robert W. Arch
bald. justice of the “commerce court,
outlined in papers transmitted to the
house from the department of justice
by the president last Saturday. The
seal on these papers was broken to
day by the chairman of. the committee
on judiciary and its members had their
first opportunity to see the nature of
the department’s investigation of the
charges brought against Justice Arch
bald in February and which may pos
sibly result in impeachment proceed
ings against the judge.
Until the committee has decided
whether’or not the record is to be
made public, members of’the commit
tee were enjoined to secrecy regarding
the exact nature of the charges. Judge
Archbald will not be called by the
committee
MARIETTA STREET
GETS ITS ASPHALT
OVER OPPOSITION
Both branches of council have finally
approved the petition of property own
ers along Marietta street for an asphalt
pavement for that street, and Mayor
Winn signed the papers today.
Chief of Construction Clayton and an
Investigating committee of council ad
vised that he asphalt would not stand
the heavy traffic of Marietta street. As.
the paving contract will amount to
about $70,090, council was slow to ap
prove the petition of the property own
ers calling for asphalt. But the prop
erty owners refused to have wood
blocks or granite blocks and a confer
ence committee of council and the al
dermanic board agreed to grant their
petition.
Council has adopted a resolution call
ing for a charter amendment which will
give that body the right to decide what
type of pavement shall be put down in
the future.

VAN DYKE AIDS
FIGHT ON DOST
Rugs and carpets can not be beaten
on the streets, causing bacteria-laden
dust to fly into the lungs of passersby,
if Aiderman Van Dyke's ordinance
passes council. The aiderman intro
duced his measure at the council meet
ing yesterday afternoon, directly fol
lowing The Georgian’s series of articles
and photographs showing how sanitary
precautions in Atlanta were being neg
lected and giving particular attention
to sweeping sidewalks and beating car
pets after 8 o’clock in the mornings.
The ordinance was referred to the
ordinance committee and will be given
a favorable report. There is little doubt
of its passage.
John Jentzen, chief of the city san
itary department, agrees with The
Georgian that the late morning sweep
ing and carpet beating is dangerous
and should be prohibited.
A POORWAY
TO H?DE
, The ostrich endeavoring to /
conceal itself from danger, thrusts /1 Zr If
its head into the sand, doubtless // -JI. [j
believing that if it cannot see, '/w- 4
neither can it be seen. This is a
poor way to hide because it leaves
the body almost entirely exposed to attack.
Just as ineffectual is the attempt to cure Skin Diseases by the ap
plication of salves, cosmetics, lotions, “creams,” “skin foods,” etc.
True, such treatment may gloss over or temporarily hide the out
ward eruptions, in some cases, but this method does nothing to de
stroy the impurities, humors or acids in the blood, 'which produce
skin disorders, and the trouble is no more cured than is the ostrich
hidden.
Lying just beneath the outer covering or tissue-skin is a mem
branous flesh w’hich surrounds and protects the tiny veins, pores and
glands. It is here the impurities from the blood are deposited and
the acrid matter causes irritation and inflammation, which splits or
oreaks the thin, tissue-like cuticle, and the result is manifested in Ec
zema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Acne, pimples, or some other disfiguring
or annoying eruption.
Since Skin Diseases are the result of bad blood it can readily be
seen that there is but one way to produce a cure, and that is, to pu
rify the blood. Local treatment can only afford temporary relief.
S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases of every kind by neutralizing the
acids and removing all humors from the blood. S. S. S. cools the
acid-heated circulation, builds it up to its normal strength and thick
ness, multiplies its rich, nutritious corpuscles and adds to its purity
in every way. Then the skin instead of being irritated and inflamed
and soothed by this cooling,
glaL ” Wk.'*' healthy stream of blood, and al!
disfiguring blemishesoreruptions
j HfetySwl gradually but surely disappear,
w 4$ S. S. S. is the greatest of all
————— ——— blood purifiers, and therein lies
its ability to cure skin diseases. The trouble cannot remain after the
cause has been removed, and S. S. S. will certainly remove the
cause. It curas Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Acne, pimples, boils,
rashes, and all eruptions of the skin.
Go to any reliable drug store and ask for S. S. S. and accept
nothing in place of it. Any druggist can supply you and most of
them wish their customers to have what they call for. Book on Skin
Diseases and any medical advice free to all who write.

NO “SLIPSHOD” WORK
•
We blush irith shame for our profession when we
acknowledge that there are dentists who think more of get
ting a patient ’s money than of giving good service, and who
do careless, slipshod work in order to “finish the job”
quickly.
Not so here. While our prices are very low, our work
is of highest quality—done by dental surgeons of skill and
experience, men who are conscientious and honorable, who
never slight the smallest detail of their work.
We have an established reputation to maintain—poor
work or dishonest methods would be suicidal. We have made
too many friends during our many years of practice in At
