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.

Baby should re s pose comfort- ably, and bottle 8 * be held upright. ///, A ” / * " ■ Ikt. MhKSm BaH W\ 3 &.' ■ 3k\\ ■I r ' I Ml aM I \t\ ~ / 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 ITiJi ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1912. 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. MISSING GIRL RETURNS AFTER VISITING FRIEND MACON, GA..

July 3 —-City coun cil has been asked by the Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants and Manu facturers association and the Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade to ap propriate $50,000 as a donation to bring the Brinson railroad to Augusta. This sum, It is said, will induce George M. Brinson, president and principal owner 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 not be used. 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.

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.

MAKERS PINE FOR SESTON 'CHE Fear President of Senate Is 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. I His friends believe Mr. Slaton has de- I ferred issuing the invitations through I doubt of the propriety of playing host ‘ to the legislature, while he is a ean -1 didate for governor, but they believe : they can show him the error of his I ' position and assure him that the legis -1 lature, having grown used to his feast, j will not consent to missing it this year.

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.
