MAYOR PUTS BAN
ON WILD FOURTH
Atlanta to Observe the Nation’s
Birthday at Picnic Parties
and Baseball Games.
Mayor Winn said today he believed
he was expressing the sentiment of the
whole city in urging a safe and sane
celebration of the Fourth.
“There will be no dissension on this
point," said the mayor, "but to guard
against the recklessness of the thought
less. I will instruct the police to rigidly
enforce the law against the discharge
of fireworks and firearms. I am glad
that the time has come in this country
when we can rejoice on the anniversary
of our independence without destroying
property and sacrificing little children.”
The 1912 Fourth, the day of the birth
of a new national flag with 48 stars,
adding two to commemorate the en
trance into the Union of New Mexico
and Arizona, will be a rather quiet
holiday in Atlanta. It will be observed
only by many picnics and pleasure par
ties and extra baseball games.
The Daughters of the American Rev
olution will hold formal exercises in
their chapter house on Piedmont ave
nue at 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
“America" will be sung, the declaration
of independence read and Dr. John E.
White will deliver an address.
Several Picnics Planned.
The greatest expression of the holi
ca-c spirit will be-at the baseball park
and at the city parks and numerous
picnic grounds. The Atlanta team has
two games scheduled with Montgomery
one in the morning and one in the
afternoon.
The sport world also will be enter
tained with extras telling of the Flynn-
Johnson fight.
The Germans of the city will have
a picnic at Germania park under the
auspices of the Turn Verein. There
will he dancing and fireworks in the
evening.
The Socialists of South Bend will
have a basket dinner in the grove at
the corner of the McDonough road and
Sawtell avenue.
All public buildings and the great
majority of business institutions will
close for a holiday or a half holiday.

Giving Tot Milk From Spoon
Discouraged by Miss Berta
Thomson, Expert.
This is the second of The Georgian's
series of illustrated articles on the
proper care of infants in summer. The
information is given Georgia mothers
by Miss Berta Thomson, an expert of
wide experience.
By MISS BERTA THOMSON.
(Nurse in Charge of the Children's
Ward at Grady Hospital.)
Every mother should take pains
to learn the proper manner of feed
ing babies, for this is one of the
most Important essentials In their
care.
The two customary methods of
giving nourishment to the baby is
through the bottle and the spoon.
Ordinarily, either one is consid
ered good and both are freely used.
The mother, whoever, who uses the
spoon probably doesn’t stop to
think of the advantages of the bot
tle. If she did, the bottle would
take the place of the spoon.
The most important and strik
ing argument in favor of the bot
tle is the fact that Its use prevents
the sw allowing of air by the infant
and consequent pains in the stom
ach. When taking nourishment
from a spoon, the baby is likely to
take in air in such quantities as al
most immediately to cause violent
pains. We are inclined to regard
this ache as coming from the food,
or some unsettled condition of the
stomach, when, in reality, it would
have been avoided by the use of the
bottle.
When the bottle is used, it should
be held in an upright position. In
this way the neck of the bottle Is
constantly kept filled with the
liquid, and this prevents the suc
tion of air into the baby's stomach.
Instead of feeding the baby air, you
are giving it something substantial.
Here is an important point as
to feeding wit>. the spoon, in the
event the spoon is used in prefer
ence to the bottle. The spoon
should always be inserted in the
lower corner of the mouth. This
will prevent the baby from chok
ing. Should the spoon be inserted
in any other part of the mouth, the
chances are strong that the tot will
strangle and cause a violent strain
ing of its tender throat.
In either instance, whether feed
ing from bottle or spoon, the baby
should repose in an easy and com
fortable position, so that no one
part of its body will be overtaxed
and draw' strength from the stom
ach.
Cleanliness Essential.
Every mother should try to nurse
her child. If she is very weak or
has a serious disease, then she
should not endanger the baby by
nursing it. A nursing mother
should take special care of her
self. however —she should walk in
the fresh air every day, take at
least eight hours sleep at night and
lie down in the middle of the day
for possibly an hour. She should
also eat three regular, nourishing
meals each day. A few teaspoon
fuls of warmed watei will suffice
for the baby’s food until the moth
er's milk comes.
In the usi of artificial foods for
babies, great care should be used.
As to cow's milk it will be found
that in some instances babies can
not digest It at all Some mothers
modify the milk by diluting It with
water, adding lime water to break
the curd and sweeten ft with rug.tr.
The modification of milk must be

LIEUT. GOVERNOR
BILL IS DEBATED
Joe Hill Hall Is Leader of 1912
Battle Against the Veteran
Measure.
The first matter on the house calen
dar when the legislature opened its ses
sion today was the bill to create the
office of lieutenant governor, and it pro
voked the usual warm debate.
For ten years past there has been an
effort at every session of the assembly
to add a lieutenant governor to the
list of state officers, and every year it
has been pigeon-holed, defeated or for
gotten. There are some members who
believe a lieutenant governor would be
about as useful as a church bell on a
dog house while others are convinced
that it is a scheme of the opposing sac.
tion to foist upon the people an official
who might some day, when the real
governor is away fishing, sell the state
capitol to a corporation or fire every
official who might be with the minority
faction.
The bill was taken up yesterday, but
Joe Hill Hall, of course, opposed certain
features, and it was recommitted for
certain charges, with the proviso that
it should come up the first thing this
morning. It provides for an amend
ment to the state constitution, to be
voted on by the people. The lieutenant
governor, if the office is created, shall
serve whenever the governor Is absent
from the state or disqualified, or in case
of the death or resignation of the chief
executive. He also shall act as presi
dent of the state senate.

of the road, to bring it to this city.
suited to each particular child. No
set rule prevails.
In feeding with a bottle, regular
ity. cleanliness and judgment are
required even more/ than In the
nursing of a baby. The bottle
should be of a smooth finish, with
ounce marks on the side, and fitted
with a smooth nipple. Bottles with
long tubes should not be used, as
the inside of the tirbe becomes
slimy and sour. Food should never
be allowed to stand in a half-empty
bottle to be used again The hottie
should he emptied and thoroughly
cleansed before the next meal Ev
ery effort should be made to keep
the bottle and nipple ' lean to pre
vent infection, Too much < are can

T. R.’S NEW PARTY
GOES DOE SAYS
Charges Wilson Could Not
Have Won Without Aid of
Sullivan and Taggart.
OYSTER BAY, July 3.—Colonel
Roosevelt's third party plan will not be
affected by the nomination of Wilson
at Baltimore, he says. Plans are ready
for the issue of a call for the new patty
convention tomorrow, the convention to
be held in August. In a statement,
Uolonel Roosevelt said:
“Before I left Chicago and again at
Oyster Bay when Comptroller Pender
gast of New York came out to see me.
I stated that the third party movement
and my candidacy would not be in any
way be affected by the outcome at Bal
timore,
"I never go into a fight on a contin
gent basis. I shall, of course, continue
to stand for the progressive nomina
tion. I have just been going over with
Senator Dixon the call which is about
to be Issued by the provisional com
mittee for the progressive national con
vention.
"To my mind, what has gone on in
Baltimore for the past ten days has
shown the utterly irreconcilable nature
of the elements within the Democratic
party, elements so irreconcilable as to
make it hopeless to expect from them
any permanent reform movement along
constructive lines. It has also shown
that any nomination obtained at Balti
more could, after all, be obtained only
by the support of men like Mr. Taggart
in Indiana and Mr. Sullivan in Illinois,
and the success of the candidate at the.
polls, without regard to his personality,
would be conditioned not only upon the
hearty support of Mr. Taggart and Mr.
Sullivan and their colleagues and rep
resentatives In every other state from
New York to Colorado, but would also
be conditioned upon these men in car
rying their several state tickets and in
perpetuating themselves in control of
the Democratic party.
"Under these conditions. I feel that
the events at Baltimore, like the events
at Chicago, prove the absolute need of a
new, nation-wide, non-sectional party,
which shall, in good faith, stand for the
interests of the people as a whole, and
shall in far-reaching fashion alike in
the nation and in the several states
take the lead in the movement for so
cial, political and industrial justice, a
movement which must include a broad
constructive policy which shall look to
both the present-day economic needs
of our people as a whole and the neces
sity for the fullest possible commercial
developments both at home and
abroad.”
FRIENDS OF" FELDER
THINK WILSON WILL
HELP HIM WIN RACE
MACON. GA.. July 3.—The Macon
friends who are canvassing the politi
cal situation for Attorney General
Thomas S. Felder held a meeting yes
terday afternoon and discussed the re
plies received to ion telegrams of in
quiry sent out Sunday night. The meet
ing was practically unanimous that Mr.
Felder should announce for governor,
especially in view of the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson by the Democratic
convention. Felder’s friends believe
that Wilson’s nomination will help
Felder in Georgia, as it is proposed that
the latter shall make a fight as a pro
gressive.
Mr. Felder will be here himself to
morrow, when another and final con
ference will take place. It is stated
that the funds necessary for a cam
paign have been raised.

A terrible skin-trouble
cured.
Her husband feared the worst. But
8.8.8. saved her.
“I am satisfied that your 8.8.8.
saved my wife from the grave”, writes
Mr. V. C. Kirby of Toccoa, Ga. “She
no doubt had a blood-disease from the
way the doctors describe it. And B. B. B.
has certainly done the work for her”.
Mrs. Kirby’s case was unusu
ally severe. And J. B. Brooks
of Atlanta, Ga., states that the
physicians were completely baffled
by it.
‘ ‘ Anyway it was a very stubborn case
of skin-trouble”, he says. “But after
her taking 8.8.8., I called to see her
personally and she was looking fine!”
Nearly all skin-complaints
come from impure blood. And
8.8.8. is one of the most thorough
blood-cleansers ever discovered.
That is why it has such a remark
able effect on skin-troubles of
every kind. It cures them from
the inside. And that makes the
cure permanent and complete.
Tell your druggist you are
bound to give this splendid medi
cine a fair trial. He will supply
you. For your own sake insist
on it.
If necessary write to the Blood Balm
Co Philadelphia or St Louis. Your
money back if 8.8.8. tails to help you.

Not Going to Give “Feed”
This Year.
There are near-beer bills and income
tax bills and other things to keep the
legislators up at nights, but the burn
ing question of the hour, according to
several members, is:
“Is Jack Slaton going to give his
barbecue this year?”
For fifteen years the lawmakers have
enjoyed feasts of roast beef and flows
of fluids as the guests of the Atlanta
member. First it was plain Jack Sla
ton. then Speaker Slaton and then Presi
dent Slaton of the senate. He was act
ing governor for a while, but not in
barbecue time. Some of the lawmakers
say this will be his last chance to give
a barbecue as a brother member, for
he will be governor next summer.
Mr. Slaton hasn't been asked the di
rect question, but more than one legis
lator with the memory of roast lamb
and Brunswick stew in his system has
dropped a broad hint that he was wait-
I ing for an invitation to another feed.

Declares Heiress, From Whom
He Was Separated by Her
Parents, Proposed.
NEWARK, N. J., July 3.—”1’11 stick
till 1 get her back. I'he Lushears may
be able to hire the best lawyers, but
just let Dorothy see me, and, no matter
what the court does, she’ll come back
to me, for she loves me and I love her.”
These were the words spoken by Con
rad C. Eysoldt, the chauffeur, who
eloped with the daughter of John C.
Lushear, the Newark banker. Proceed
ings have been brought to annul the
marriage of the pair.
Mr. Lushear, president of the North
Ward Bank of Newark, and his wife
were in court in that city, and were
forced to listen to the chauffeur’s ac
count of his affair with their daughter,
Dorothy.
To the astonishment of all, Eysoldt
asserted that it was Miss Dorothy who
suggested their elopement. “I never
urged her to leave with me; she asked
me," he asserted.
Wanted to Wait.
"I loved her and she loved me,” ex
plained the witness, “but she asked me
first to marry her, while I thought it
better to wait a white: that’s all.”
"Can you prove that?" demanded the
lawyer.
“I certainly can. She wrote It in let
ters to me. I have them.”
"Do you know the story of the Gar
den of Eden?” inquired Parker gravely.
"I do not," said Eysoldt.
“You do not know about the serpent
and Eve?"
But the answer was lost, because At
torney Henry Pomerehne, for Eysoldt,
jumped up and protested that "we don’t
know such a place as the Garden of
Eden ever existed."
There was a burst of laughter, and
then Eysoldt told his version of the re
turn of himself and his bride to the
home of her parents. He said that her
father wasn’t there when they arrived,
but that when he did come he drew a
revolver and, pointing it at Eysoldt,
cried: “So you did bring her here, you
cur! I told you last night I’d shoot
you and now I will.”
The chauffeur said his bride and her
brother intervened and saved him.
They were all tn the library. He and
Doroth?' fled upstairs and locked them
selves In a room, but, according to the
witness, her father broke down the door
and he had to flee the house for his life.
Since then he has not been allowed to
see his wife.
