the <'h:uiiber of Commerce. It does not

economical basis. The work is to bo

lEb. the nmat-cating baby.
When the Wiley baby opened his
ryes on the world a little more than a
week ago the proud father, who is the
greatest living authority on food hy
giene, outlined what he called a inode!
diet.
"The great infant mortality is direct
ly due to ignorance as to lhe care that
should be taken of babies. Our child is
to be a pure food and fresh air baby
literally.
"At first he will take natural food
trout his mother, and it surpasses any
bob' food that ever has been or ever
will be invented A child should not be
weaned until ho is fifteen or eighteen
months old. ami novel until he lias
passed bis second summer. Os course
he will have some light food before that
time, but onl\ a little white egg and
gruel. After he begins.to oat he will

boiled eggs, bailey tooth, starchy food
in moderation and fruit juice.

I cording to Dr. Gorton, the SO-year-old
scientist. proves that vegetables make
the best diet. Almost all his life Di.
Gorton has been a vegetarian and the
babies will be brought upon the same
diet.
"I find that a vegetable diet has a
tendency to make my mind clearer," he
said. "Meat is full of the causes of
disease ami if eylen at all it should be
thoroughly cooked.

FOR QUICK TRIAL
Demand Filed by Attorneys
and Will Very Likely Be
Granted by Court.
> .
Mr.. Daisy E. Grace, under mtjict
,. nient charging her with assault with
Intent to murder her husband, Eugene
H. Grace, is anxious for an early trial
and has placed a demand on the court
minutes to that effect.
The demand was tiled today by her
attorney-, Moore A- Branch and 1, Z.
i Rosser, and has been signed by Judge
’ L. S. Roan, before whom the trial will
he iteard.
t Mrs. Grace s demand for a trial was
i placed on the minutes of this term.
1 This means that the accused wife in
the Eleventh street tragedy will prob
able lie Hied some time dining the next
' month. At the latest, now that she
lite- demanded h trial, it will he held
. before September 1.
The delay in taking Mrs. Grace’s case
before the grand juty was occasioned
by the condition of In wounded hus
band, and for file same teason her trial
was not set for a hearing this month.
However, as Eugene Grace is improv
ing rapidly, it i- expected lltal the pros
ecution will cuter no objection to the
trial being set for next month.
S. L. Hill, stepfather of the wounded
husband, is reported to have told an
Atlanta friend this week that Grace
was rapidly recovering and that soon
he expected to be able to move about on
crutches

Decoration day. the annual festival
i of the G. A. R, does not mean so much
Jin Georgia as in the land beyond the
'line. There is no great parade, with
! pennons flying and thousands lining
the streets to cheer the men who
■ inarch. But each year the veterans of
' the Union who still survive gather at
I the trolley station of the Marietta line
■nd take special cars for the national
cemetery, where they pay the same
tribute to the boys of the Blue which
Southerners on their Memorial day

in the shadow of Kennesaw. Adjutant
