He had emerged from one of the cases whose sign promises "Short Or ders Qnlckly Served." and he had a complaint in his system which he un loaded on a friend. “Tve tried ’em all." he ‘continued.

'SCHOOL SICKNESS MENACE-SUTON Records Show 32.2 Per Cent of White and 71,7 of Negro Pupils Defective. I “Grave danger menaces the health of all Atlanta unless the council pro vides an adequate appropriation for the medical examination and treatment of pupils in the public schools.” This statement from Superintendent Slaton, of the city -ehools, today fol lowed upon the startling report of Med ical Supervisor Stephens that 32.2 per cent of the whit'- students in Atlanta are defective and that 71.7 of the negro pupils are afflicted similarly. Superintendent Slaton declared that if rm further appropriations are made for the examination and aid of the ne groes in the Atlanta public schools. It will be little less than an outrage. Council has-neglected to take action In the matter since the examinations had to be abandoned last April. Situation Called Grave. Some members of the board of edu cation were outspoken in the state ment that the percentage of defectives in Hie schools is so high that it. is a grave proposition 1f the. board of health doesn't lake radical cognizance of the situation. They declare that there are few cities in the country where medical school inspection is in vogue where the percentage of dcYectivrs, especially among the negroes, is higher than here The superintendent's annual report urges immediate action by the- hoard and appropriations by’ council to aid the doctors and nurses already engaged in examinations and treatment in the city’s effort to remedy this situation. In effect, the report of the superin- tondent shows that enlarged glands, de- 1 fectlvo teeth, nasal and tonsil troublel were Ihe chief ailments of the afflicted pupils. Peducolis, skin diseases. heart | and hing trouble also are prevalent and a distressingly large number of chi!’- dren suffer from malnutrition. Skin diseases, glandular trouble and ton silttis as well as some eye diseases are all infectious. 48.2 Per Cent Treated. Five thousand four hundred thirty seven white children were recommended for treatment in the past year, while I 48.2 pr cent received treatment. Treat-I merit of < olored children was discon tinued during the year owing to lack I of funds. The report shows that glasses were fitted to 120 children during the year; that 120 more underwent operations upon their tonsils, and that 12S were treated for adenoids. ,' The superintendent says that the method of reaching the defective chil dren with remedies constituted one of the most satisfactory results of his admlnlsiration. Wherever examination showed the necessity of treatment the parents were notified and they either furnished the medical attention them selves or nurses and doctors from the board of education were sent to the lit tle ones' aid. Free Treatment For Tuberculosis. rhe board announced one of the most Important moves of the year's work In the adoption of Superintendent Sla ton's recommendation of the appoint ment of a teacher to the Battle Hill sanitarium for tubercular patients Through this action pupils excluded 1 from the city schools on account of tu bercular trouble will receive free in struction a' the sanitarium. Similar action Is to he taken in aid of the deaf | and dumb children of the city. The board instructed Superintendent Slaton to assume supervision over the Neighborhood I'ntnn’s negro classes that ore to he held hereafter tn three of the m cro schools on Tuesday, Wed nesdav and Friday afternoons. The board elected A <'. Whitehead.

This will make the operation of heavy trains less expensive; curves will be elimi nated, reducing distance and facilitat ing the running of fast trains. These Improvements will necessarily have to be spread out over a number of years to lessen financial burden, but will be undertaken so as to accommodate the heavy travel to the San Francisco ex position. The new routes run through the fin est of Western scenery and open beau tiful highways to the coast for the tourist. 1 Detroit THE NATURAL GATTWAYB TO THE PUAYGROUNOB OF MICHIGAN CANADA great lake resorts 3 Excellent Tram Daily Frrew Cincinnati . . . 8:10 1:00 8:48 ueß,rß Morntaf Hoop N4gM Fwst ts hffit Ding.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can nnl reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred' Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. .1. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.
