GIRL,J CAPTIVE, FORCED TO WED Mother of Bride of 13 Swears Out Warrants Against Bride - groom and Aid, A tale of how her daughter of thir teen had been forcibly wedded by a youth of eighteen was told by Mrs. Lindy Beck, of Chattahoochee, who came to Atlanta today to search for the two. There had been no love, no courtship, said Mrs. Beck. The boy had simply seen the girl, had lured her away from home and borne her off as did the primitive man when his eyes struck one that pleased him. The boy is Carl Henderson. In his primeval abduction he was assisted by his father and a companion. James •"raw ford. Mrs. Beck stated toda- that she hoped to have the marriage an nulled and to have young Henderson landed in jail on a charge of abduction and assault and battery. How Girl Was Stolen. Mrs. Beck told this story: Yesterday afternoon two women of Chattahoochee came to the Beck home and called to Mamie Beck, the daughter. Fearing no harm. Mamie went out into the yard. She was then led through the woods to a house where Carl Henderson, his father. Sam Hen derson, and James Crawford were wait ing for her. Mrs. Beck followed. Upon her arrival at the house she found het daughter inside with Carl Henderson and demanded that the child come back with her. When she made this demand she was pushed aside by Henderson, who told his son to carry the girl to a min ister as soon as possible. While the two were making off Mrs. Beck was held by James Crawford. Says She'll Prosecute AH. Young Henderson had never called at the Beck home. Mrs. Beck had never heard her daughter speak of him. Mrs. Beck declared today that every person concerned in the marriage-bj force would be prosecuted. Later in the afternoon she swore out warrants against Carl and Sam Hen derson and James Crawford, charging them with assault and battery. At torney A. C. Corbett, of Moore & Branch, was employed to .represent her. MOCK TRIAL TO SHOW WOMEN HOW DIVORCE COURTS DO BUSINESS DUBLIN.

For twenty-five years he hunted for the mother to bring the child of his ideal into the world Boy and Girl, Too, Come to “Sex Controller” —He Says Both Are Ideal. NEW YORK, Slay 23.—Scientists to day are deeply interested in the claim of Dr. David Allyn Gorton, the Brook lyn physician, that he has discovered the secret of sex control. Just about a year 'ago Dr. Gorton, who is in his eightieth year, married Bert ha \ Rolihcin. his stenographer and literary secretary. A romance. his friends called the marriage, but today it appears to have been a romance of a more philosophical order than they suspected. By DR. D. A. GORTON. I am overjoyed at the gracious grant to me ynd mine of twins a son and a daughter, both the mqst beautiful chil dren that I ever have seen. I did not bespeak for but one—a son -hut the gift of a daughter twin was not less welcome, be assured. It was a grave responsibility at my age—near 80—to become the father of a child. It was no hasty or ill-con sidered resolution, but a deliberate one, full of purpose and meaning; and I would have it understood that I was actuated by the'highest and most ex alted motives, in which my wife fully shared. An ambition to rear a son who would be able to lake up my task when I must lay it down has possessed me for more than a quarter of a century. I am criticised in certain quarters, and not without excellent reasons, for assuming so great a task at this time of my life. Time alone can decide as to the wisdom, or otherwise, of my course. It required no small degree of courage to carry my purpose; but to achieve it I would sacrifice ease and comfort and run the risk of short al lowance and penury the rest of my days. Outlines His Theories. I believe that my theories of per petual youth have worked out. Here are the essentials: First, work in fundamental. I have been a hard working fellow all my life, and work is what has kept me young. It’s trite but true; it never killefl any man. Work hard for work's sake, for there is no branch of industry In which yijli can use your hands without exer cising your biains, I went to work on a farm in northern New York when I was eight, and I have been working ever since. I abominate the-factory laws which prevent children being em ployed. It is far better that they should work, if the employment can be under sanitary ami healthful con ditions. than that they be turned loose to pernicious idleness. It would be far better if the children of the poor were placelhat healthful employment young er. 1 would require it also of the rfch; perhaps they need it more. Second, education; and that should be on much different lines. There never was a greater precept than “Know thyself.’’ The schools do wrong in teaching children letters and keeping them"in ignorance of themselves. Nat ural science and the laws of life should come first. Third, eat to live. Do not eat for pleasure. Avoid a meat diet unless you wish to pander to passion. I would not feed children meat unless 1 wished to breed up a race of fighters and bloodthirsty men. Four, be content to the point of self preservation. Do not live for pleasure.

It is expected, however, that the finance committee will take final action at its meeting this afternoon. W. H. Sawyer & Sons and the Forsyth Cre matory Company, both of Atlanta, will submit new propositions. But the sen. timent of a majority of the finance committee Is to recommend the propo sition the board of health urges—the $440,000 bid of the Destructor Company of New York. W. H. Sawver <£• Sons will submit a bid io build a reduction plant which will separate all the valuable parts of the garbage for $247,500. The Forsyth Crematory Company will offer to buiid a 250-ton capacity incinerator for $50,- 000. Members of the board of Health have already considered both of these propositions. They say Expert Hering has recommended the high-priced plant with the electric plant and water pump as the berft plan for the city, and that they have been convinced that he is right. Mayor Winn said today it was up to the finance committee to act and mem bers of the board of health and other officials will be present this afternoon to urge dispatch. I( "We are exasperated at the delay, said Dr. W L. Gilbert today; “We must begin at once to relieve the city of this garbage nuisance.” GRANUMDTHERS USED SAGE TEA To Darken the Hair and Re store Gray and Faded Hair to Its Natural Color. It is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it, although it is possible to do both. Our gi and moth ers understood the secret. They made a "sage tea,” and their dark, glossy ha r long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs be fore they are fifty, but they, are begin ning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in using “sage tea” for their hair and are fast following suit. The present generation has the ad vantage of the past in that it can get a ready-to-use preparation called Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this preparation is vastly superior to the ordinary “sage tea" made by our grand mothers. The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and lustre, makes the scalp clean and . healthy.. gives -the hair strength, color and beauty, and makes it grow.
