OT.DOB J YEAR
15 SQUANDERED,
SAYSCOGHRAN
City Park Board Head Renews
Attack on the Construction
Department.
J. O. Cochran, president of the city
park board, declared in an Interview
today that leading members of the city
council had informed him that the de
partment of chief of construction
would squander $200,000 this year. He
said that they had also told him that
while more street work had been au
thorized by council than ever before,
less Would be done than In several
years.
Mr Cochran and the department are
at daggers drawn today following a
denunciation of the construction de
partment by Mr. Cochran at the meet
ing of the park board yesterday, when
ft was reported that the park plot in
the center of North avenue had been
mutilated by the laying of a sewer.
Cochran Denounces
Construction Department.
"It is an outrage and indefensible,”
he declared. "Not only does this de
partment waste the people’s money,
but ft wantonly destroys city property.
"It reeks with incompetency and
mismanagement
"It is not the f.ault of the city coun
cil. The department never obtained
authority from cpuncll to destroy this
attractive flower bed. It Is nothing
less than an act of vandalism.'
The other members of the board
were In accord with President Coch
ran.
Cochran'S statement went unchal
lenged today by officials of the con
struction department. Harvey Hatch
er. who as chairman of the streets
committee of council is virtually the
head of the department in the absence
of Captain R M Clayton, said fie did
not care to make a reply, adding that
he never made a statement to the
newspapers.
Reply Expected When
Captain Clayton Returns.
Captain Clayton is expected to an
swer Mr. Cochran when he returns
from a trip to his old home at Ashe
ville. N. C. It Is predicted around the
city hall that the charges will precipi
tate an investigation of the depart
ment. But in the absence of so many
of the leaders of ‘council at this time
no one has taken action.
Without knowing anything about Mr.
Cochran’s statement, however. Mayor
Winn has Instructed the department
immediately to repair the asphalt
pavement of Peachtree street»from its
beginning to the city limits. The city
forces are busy repairing the asphalt
pavements on the south side this week
and they will begin on the much needed
work on Peachtree street next week.
Numerous complaints of . the bad
condition of this street have been made
to the city officials, especially by auto
mobilists, within the past few weeks.

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 ope 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 swallowing 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 witk 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
jier 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 water will suffice
for the baby's food until the moth
er’s milk comes.
In the use 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 it with sugar.
The modification of milk must be
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 tube becomes
slimy and sour. Food should never
t>e allowed to stand In a half-empty
bottle to be used again. The bottle
should be emptied and thoroughly
cleansed before the next meal. Ev
ery effort should be made to keep
the bottle and nipple clean to pre
vent infection. Too much care can
not be used.

WOMAN NOTARY
BILL IS PASSED
House, Members Deserting, Ad
journs Until Monday—Lieut.
Governor Vote Delayed.
With members fading from their
seats and disappearing toward the rail
way stations, with Speaker Holder re
peatedly announcing "no quorum vot
ing” and sending the pages scurrying
through to round up ab
sentees, the house today finished its
final labors before the Fourth of July
vacation and took a rest until next
Monday. It passed a half dozen local
bills and several of a general nature,
including one permitting women to be
come commercial notaries public.
The passage of the “woman notary"
bill, offered by Mr. Stubbs, of Putnam,
was taken by advocates of the "wom
an lawyer” measure as an indication
that the legislature which grafted
women the right to witness official
papers would also grant them the right
to practice law. It was passed by 105
to 1. a practically unanimous vote. It
must yet reach the senate.
It was hard to put any legislation
through today, for the members were
keeping one eye on the clock and the
other on their time tables, and there
was barely a quorum remaining when
the house adjourned at noon after sev
eral motions to adjourn had been voted
down by members, with bills remaining
on the desk. Some of the lawnlakers
will go to the Crawfordville celebration
tomorrow, some to a barbecue at Ball
Ground, but most of them will leave
this afternoon for their homes.
Dozen Bills Introduced.
‘The McElreath bill, to create the of
fice of lieutenant governor, came up
for passage, but the house had so
thinned out that the author feared its
defeat through lack of a constitutional
majority and obtained its postpone
ment until next week, immediately aft
er the vote on the, Tippins bill. Mr.
Deese, of Pulaski, had his bill creatln’g
the new county of Bleckley postponed
unitll July 17 for the same reason.
Mr. Ault, of Polk, put through the
house his bill to prohibit drunkenness
In railroad trains, fair grounds and
baseball parks and other places of pub
lic assembly and providing rigorous
penalties.
More than a dozen new we>e
introduced and read. One, by Mr. Fos
ter, of Newton, known as the “white
slave" bill, prohibits any person from
inveigling a female of chaste character
into a disreputable house, and fixes the
penalty at from four to seven years im
prisonment. A bill by Mr. Beck, of
Brooks, would create a new county, to
be known as Cook county, and formed
from the western part of Berrien coun
ty. Another bill, with a dozen signers,
appropriates $7,500 to the state chemist
to increase the efficiency of the inspec
tion of fertilizers, foods and drugs.
Representatives FTohock and others
offered in the house today a bill to
authorize the Atlantic, Waycross and
Northern railroad to condemn, lease or
purchase the tracks of the Southern
railway from Fort Valley to the junc
tion point of the former Atlanta and
Florida railroad and the former East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and
the authority to condemn for joint use
the tracks of the Atlanta. Birmingham
and Atlantic road from Waycross to
Douglas. It was referred to the com
mittee on railroads.
Must Investigate Falls Case.
The senate has a second time refused
to consider a reopening of the Tallulah
Falls controversy without a commit
tee report. Senator Shaw's effort to
obtain a reconsideration of his reso
lution requesting the governor bring
suit was wasted again today. He lost
by a vote of 19 to 17.
A majority of the senators, follow
ing the leadership of Senator Felker,
insisted that the matter be thrashed
out in commimttee before coming to
the senate.
A similar fate attended Senator
Sheppard’s effort to consider the Alex
ander resolution relative to the Bris
tow amendment. Representative Alex
ander succeeded yesterday in getting a
special committee in the house to care
fully consider the Federal amendment
after asserting that the Bristow enact
ment had never passed the Federal
congress with the requisite two-thirds
vote.
The senate intimated plainly that it
did not care to vote on the question
until next Monday. The senate ad
journed until Monday after a sleepy
session.
Adjutant General Obear said today
that a bill would be sent to the legisla
ture providing a reimbursement of the
military fund with tire $7,500 appropri
ated to defray the expenses of the
Second regiment at the Confederate
veterans reunion in Macon.
As is well known, the $7,500 was ex
tracted from the annual military main,
tenance fund by Joe Hili Hall, of Bibb,
after a vigorous protest by the military
authorities. It was asserted at the time
the legislature should have made a
special levy to meet the reunion ex
penses.
As it is now, the military fund, which
never exceeds »ia.vuo annually. Is de
pleted and the authorities says that the
return of the $7,500 is necessary to
meet current expenses

and was applauded enthusiastically
when she resumed her seat.

her breath, to dance with her in a
duet. The two Jigged for five minutes
until Mrs. Dixon, though she was fresh
er than Mrs. Miller, was forced to give
up.
DOCTOR. WHO WAS PATIENT,
ELOPES WITH HIS NURSE
CLAYTON, MO., July 3.—A romance
that began last fall, when the bride was
a nur.se and the bridegroom a patient,
was happily ended when Miss Matilda
Dieckhorner, of the Rebekah hospital,
and Dr. Elbert Baker, a 1912 graduate
in medicine of St. Louis university,
eloped from St* Louis to this place and
were married.
The bride, w'ho is nineteen years old)
met Baker when he was sent from the
university to the hospital suffering from
acute tonsiiitis. The patient first won
the nurse's admiration, she afterward
admitted, when he bore the pain of his
Illness with stoical fortitude. He was
a patient for a month and during this
time the flame of love was kindled in
both.
LOVED SAME GIRL AND
FOUGHT DUEL FOR HER
PITTSTON. PA., July 3.—Frank
Foster and Samuel Trevore, of this
city, 7 loved the same girl. Both were
steady callers at her home and they
happened to arrive there at about the
same time. Angry w'ords passed and
they decided to fight it out with a test
of marksmanship.
They left the house and upon reach
ing the street stood with their backs
together and at a signal walked several
paces away and began firing Each
fired twice and both Trevore’s shots
landed. One enterd the abdomen of
Foster, the other his left hand. Tre
vore then took to his heels.
FINGER HURT; ASKS $5,000.
R. C. Dennis, a structural steel worker,
asked $5,000 damages for an injured fin
ger. in a suit filed in superior court to
day against the Virginia Iron and Bridge
Company. He asserts his finger was se
verely hurt while at work in East Point
last October, and since that time he has
beefl unable to enter any other employ
ment because of his injuries.
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. fails to help you. ,
LAWMAKERS PINE
FOO SLATON ’COE
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
ing for an invitation to another feed.
His friends believe Mr. Slaton has de
ferred Issuing the Invitations through
doubt of the propriety of playing host
to the legislature, while he is a can
didate for governor, but they believe
they can show him the error of his
position and assure him that the legis
lature, having grown used to his feast,
will not consent to missing it this year.

Send the Children, and

The cities are merciless, hard and ugly—never meant
for nurseries. It is the little ones’ misfortune that you can
not turn them out in the sweet fields and under clean skies
three seasons of the year. But now that school is over, and
the stifling, dusty days and parboiled nights have come, you
must give them a chance. They’re growing, they need
ozone and romping room. Send them to Colorado and
see them blossom into strength. You’ll be surprised how
little it costs.
Any way of going to Colorado is a good way, because it gets
you to Colorado. But the best road is the Rock Island and
the superb trains of the
Rock Island Lines
supply the things you’ll expect to find and some comforting

CHAUFFEUR 155
FOR RICH BRIDE
Declares Heiress, From Whom
He Was Separated by Her
Parents. Proposed
NEWARK, N. J., July 3.—'Til stick
till I 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 Walt.
“I loved her and she loved me,” ex
plained the witness, "but she asked me
first to enarry her, while I thought it
better to wait a while; 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?”
Rut 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 in the library. He and
Dorothy 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.
