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. DR.

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.

SUFFERED 14 YEARS WITH ITCHING PILES, TETTERINE CURES THE CASE Mr. J. T. Shuptrine. Savannah, Ga. Bellaire. Mich., Nov. 19. 1908. About sixteen years ago I had a case of Itching piles. I tried first one thing and then another, until I had tried all the remedies I had heard of. A clerk in the Economical Drug Store, on State-st., Chicago, sold me a box of Tetterine. I did not use more than half the box be fore I was entirely cured—and after four teen years’ suffering ••• GRADY G. WILSON. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: TUESDAY. MAY 7, 1912. 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.
