May IS.—A spe cial committee of the Southern Pres byterian general assembly. now in ses sion here, today, reported strongly against the overtures of presbyteries for the ‘■recall" to be applied to church officers. Dr. John F. Cannon, chairman of the committee, made the report con demning the proposed "ecclesiastical recall” in strong terms. 1 The commit tee declared it to be against every scriptural teaching and the tenets of the church. e find that in the apostolic time the term of service was Indefinite, and if care and prayer is used in the elec tion of church officers we believe the 'recall' will be unnecessary." The report says that it would tend to lower the standard of Presbyterian gov ernment to meet existing unsatisfactory conditions University Goes Over. The ad interim committee to look into the matter of the establishment of a great Presbyterian university near Atlanta reported that the time was hardly ripe. It was proposed to ex pend $150,000 as an initial invest me: The matter was held in abeyance. The special committee on changes in the fundamental law of the church, re specting the basis of representation in the general assembly, submitted the following amendment to paragraph 87 of the book of church government: "Evert presbytery shall be entitled to send one minister and one ruling elder for every 1.000 members but if the number of communicants and min isters be over 1.000. it shall send an additional minister and elder for every additional 4.000 communicants." The committee adds: “The basis of representation recom mended is in closer harmony with our church forms than the one we .now have. It will yield a fairer and more equitable representation and will make the assembly about its present size " A motion to adopt the report was made. but. objection being raised, the moderator docketed it. The assembly voted almost unani mously to hold the 1913 session at the North Avenue Presbyterian church in Atlanta. It is expected that rhe North ern and United Presbyterian assemblies will meet in Atlanta at the same time for the proposed Pan-Presbyterian Pentecost, with joint meetings in the city Auditorium.

New Bids Asked for Marietta Street Work; Other Contracts Let Because only one bid was submitted for the contract to pave Marietta street with asphalt and it was above the cost limit, the streets eotnmitee of council has decided o ask for now bids, again delaying the paving of this street. The contract will amount to near $70,000. Owing to a disagreement between the property owners and city officials as to the kind of pavement to be used on the street the work was delayed for many months. The property owners finally won their contention for asphalt rather than any block pavement. But the fail ure of contractors to submit satisfac tory bids may cause a change in the material. Bids were accepted for the pavement of the following streets: North avenue, from Peachtree street to Williams street, with wood blocks; Fourteenth street, between Peachtree and "West Peachtree streets, with bi tuminous macadam: Bi < hatles ave nue. between Moreland avenue and the city limits, with bituminous macadam, and McLendon avenue, between More land and Mayson a venues..with bitumi nous macadam.

MO OF HEALTH SCORES COUNCIL Holding Up of Recommended Destructor Plant Is Termed “ Cheap Politics.'’ Members of the board of health do not like the'way council's finance com mittee Jias handled their recommenda tion for a garbage disposal plant. They said today that the action of the com mittee is a cheap piece of "peanut poli tics.” and that they intend to stand on their original recommendation, no mat ter what the finance eemmittee docs. The board of health recommended the acceptance of the $400,000 bid of the Destructor Company of New York. The finance committee has held up the mat ter for ten days in order to hear new' propositions from other companies. "Duty of Council to Furnish Funds.” After ex pi opsing his disapproval of the action of the finance committee. Dr. W. L. Gilbert, president of the board of health, invited all lh«- other members to do likewise. They immediately respond ed in caustic terms. The unanimous opinion of the boa;.l was that the duty of the finance committee was to pro vide the money and not decide what sort of disposal plant the city needs They said it was an insult to the in telligence of the hoard of health to have the recommendation on which they had ppent months of work thus ignored. This is the second breach between council and one of the administrative boards within the last few days. The other board to protest was tin' park board regarding the council's interfer ence with Sunday swimming. But the council and the finance committee hold ' the reins of authority, though the rec ommendations of the administrative boards are usually accepted.

The street committee of that ancient and honorable parliamentary institu tion met in session yesterday afternoon and discussed in tones of gravity the tact that certain well known clocks about town were not keeping the proper time. There was one. for instance, which said quarter to one when it was one and a quarter, while another kept its fingers pointed at high noon all day long. The committee decided that a clock which kept improper time should be re moved from the streets or veiled from public gaze Such a clock was a nui sance, was entirely out of harmony with the public peace, and should be elimi nated.

H. G. HASTINGS & CO. 16 W. Mitchell St. Phones 2568 „ , FIGHT TO REPEAL AMENDNIENTIS Mississippi Convention Again to Consider Urging That Move at Baltimore Meet. JACKSON. MISS.. May 18. -"We urge our senators and congressmen, both in this state and the nation, to submit to the people of America an amendment of the Federal constitution* repealing the fifteenth and modifying* the fourteenth amendment." This is the clause in the platform of the Democratic party in Mississippi that the twenty delegates from this state are expected to present to the na tional convention at Baltimore, and the outcome of the agitation of the ques tion, if it attains that dignity, is being awaited with much Interest in the state. For the past eight years Mr. Varda man's advocacy of the repeal of the fif teenth amendment and modification of the fourteenth amendment have been his principal political propaganda, but this is the first time that he has at tempted to carry it into the council chamber of the party and have it made a part of the national platform. The Mississippi delegates, while in structed to vote as a unit, are not a unit on this question. Seven of them are pronounced anti-Vardaman men. and therefore not likely to give him any material aid in the agitation; first, be cause they believe it would be unwise to agitate such a question at this time, when the Democratic patty has splen did prospects of success, and. second, because they do not believe any sug gestion of such a plank in the platform will get beyond the committee on reso lutions. The verbiage of the resolution in structing the state delegation for Un derwood is also a subject of much dis cussion. The resolution declares that the members of the delegation must vote for Underwood, and vote for him "first, last and all of the time.” Under a strict interpretation of this sentence, it would seem that in event of Under wood's withdrawal during the early bal lotting. the Mississipni delegation must keep on voting for him. and therefore have no voice in the actual naming of the party standard-bearer. The last public utterance, almost a dying declaration from the lips of.C. H. Alexander, one of the state-at-large delegates, was to the effect that he did not recognize the'authority of the state convention to give him instructions more stringent than those he bad re ceived from the people in the primary election; that he regarded the voice of the people as a more supreme authority than a delegate convention, and. in event of Underwood's retirement, would feel himself at liberty to vote for any body he might see fit This, it is learned on good authority, is the same feeling cherished by other anti-Vardaman members of the delegation. 50 MEXICAN REBELS FALL IN SHARP FEDERAL ONSET MEXICO pTY.

BABY’S NOVEL HAT, GRANITE-WARE POT, IS SOFT SOAPED OFF NEW YI.IRK. May IS.—The world of surgery was startled by a marvelous operation when Dr. Sovak, of Bellevue, amid the applause of assembled sur geons and nurses, removed an entire granite-ware cooking pol from a baby's head. The pot was stuck fast on top, cov ering the youngster's eyes, hut leaving him full room for the exercise of his vocal talents. When his mother carried him through the streets all the way to the hospital, she was followed by an alarmed and sympathetic crowd. The pot, wedged down over the little dome, seemed cer tainly to conceal some dreadful injury. The screams of the child increased the feeling of dread among those who know nothing about babies. Realizing that it was a case new to surgery, Dr. Sovak adopted unique methods. Two attendants stood Peter on his head while the doctor applied soft soap in generous quantities round the edge of the pot. Then by- slow and careful manipulation through a full half hour lie gradually divorced the baby from the clinging pot. The unpleasant "lid" removed, little Peter sat up. stared blankly and in dignantly at tlie doctor for a moment, uttered one hesitant, final yell, and then laughed. MRS.

All during my long medical career I have insisted upon correct diagnosis. My associates—the best medical talent possible to secure —and I are thorough in our examinations. There is too much care lessness in prescribing for people afflicted with chronic troubles. The time is past when a doctor may look at the patient’s tongue, feel the pulse and scribble off a prescription. What the profession today needs is not some new sure-cure or specific, but a more scientific and intelligent use of the remedies which are already known. More care and attention to the details of each case are needed. And this is what I have always insisted upon in my office. Because of this I have been successful with my patients. There are hundreds of people in the South in all walks of life who know what I say is true. They know they have been restored to health after believing themselves beyond hope. In my new suite of offices in the Brown-Randolph building I have the finest equipment in the South, and I do not believe there is a better equipped office in the United States for the treatment of dis eases of men, chronic diseases and nervous disorders. My labora tory has everything necessary for the use of a scientific physician. In fact, I have everything which a successful specialist should have. To those who are suffering and who have sought relief in vain, I extend an invitation to call and talk things over with me. Consul tation is free. I will be frank and say just what I can and can not do. My office hours are from Bto 7; Sundays and holidays, 10 to 1. My monographs are free by mail in plain, sealed wrapper.

I have said time and time again that I can cure you if you CAN be cured. By this I do not mean to say that I can work won ders. I mean that I have had hun dreds of patients who have been chronic sufferers and who have be lieved themselves incurable. They were simply mistaken, as results produced under my care and at tention demonstrated. Just because sufferers have been unable to get permanent re lief after consulting many doc tors does not mean that such cases are incurable. I have found in doz ens of cases that the doctors who had been consulted were simply mistaken. In most cases they were working in the dark for the rea son that they had failed to diag nose their cases correctly. That's why I am a crank on diagnosis. Unless the doctor finds out exactly what the trouble is and knows the CAUSE, he can not work intelligently. Simply work- 7
