Turnipseed Pleads
For Bill’s Passage.
Mr. Turnipseed, of flay, In support
ing the bill, particularly addressed him
self to the "locker club” feature of the
Tippins-Alexander substitute. He said
he thought the quasi-legalizing of the
locker club had destroyed the prohibi
tion law and that he believed the en
actment of the Tippins bill, with the
locker club amendment, would cure al!
defects in the present law. and he
therefore favored it. Mr. Turnipseed
referred dramatically to evil wrought
in his immediate family by wfilsky, and
asked that the Tippins bill be passed
that others might not suffer what he
had suffered.
Mr Converse, of Lowndes, opposed
the Tippins bill. He argued that it is
opposed to the fundamental principles
of personal liberty and would never,
therefore, bo enforced In localities op
posed to it

Picture shows how baby's bed should be protected by net

House Should Be Screened and
Netting Placed Over Bed of
Little One.
This is the sixth of Miss Berta
Thomson’s articles on the care of ba
bies tji hot- weather.
By MISS BERTA THOMSON.
(Nurse in charge of the children's ward
at Grady hospital.)
In planning the care and comfort of
the baby in the summer season, moth
ers should look well to protection from
the fly peril.
The danger from flies is great—
much greater than many people realize
—and for this reason the ,pesky things
should not be allowed to come in con
tact with baby. The mother who fails
to properly protect het baby from flies
is literally endangering its life —inno-
cently, of course. bu.t nevertheless the
result is the same.
The fact that flies carry germs of
disease by the wholesale should be
sufficient warning to all mothers.
Disturb Childs Rest.
It is this carrying of disease by flies
and the dangei of infection that makes
protection of the baby imperative. The
greatest caution, as we all know, is
essential for the welfare of the child,
and this protection I regard of the
highest importance. When we realize
that the baby can not resist disease
like the strong man and woman, and
also that it is unable to fight off flies
as are the grown-ups. we at once see
just how important it is.
In addition to the danger of disease,

third birthday, which he celebrated yesterday. Tad says ho
thinks everyone should help the poor little chap, as he onh 7 has
$960,000,000.
there is also another reason —a strong
one, too.
It. is the fact that flies disturb the
rest and slumber of the baby, and con
sequently cause it to become irritable
and nervous. The crawling of flies
over the face, arms and legs of a
sleeping babe will quickly make it
fretful. Frequently we see flies crawl
ing over the lips and eyes of a sleeping
child, tormenting the little one, and
probably spreading the germs of some
dread disease. Such a sight is enough
to make us cringe.
House Should Be Screened.
As to the remedy for this peril, I
would say that every house in which
there is a baby should have carefully
scieened doors and windows, to shut
out the flies as much as possible. But
this alone is not sufficient. Even in
the best of screened houses flies will
manage to sneak in. the baby
takes its nap it should, be covered with
netting, which will prevent flies from
getting to its face, arms and legs. Baby
should not be left alone without being
protected by this net.
And when the mother, or any one
else, is carrying the baby about In
their arms, care should be used to keep
off flies.
Shoo away every one that conies
about.
It was back in the olden times that they
had to have a person go crying it out if
any one had anything to sell or wanted
to buy. or to notify the people that.so and
so had lost this and that. The way was
the only "lie available. It's different now.

from the delegates. The tribute was
by Miss Adelaide Steel Baylor, assistar

"The idea advocated by Governor Wi'.

Charges of bopk trust coercion and

The bonk trust charges were hinted
in connection with an attempt to swing
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young and the Chi

fact brought out to support the allega
tion that outside influences were being
brought into the fight was the fact that

APPEALS COURT
Bill in Legislature Provides the
Supreme Tribunal Have Civil
and Criminal Branches.
Representatives Lovejoy, of Troup;
Fullbrlght, of Burk; Jones, of Meri
wether. and Turnipseed, of Clay, to
day introduced in the house a bill pro
viding for a constitutional amend
ment abolishing the Georgia court of
appeals.
The bill provides for the usual legis
lative and elective machinery neces
sary to the accomplishment of consti
tutional amendments, and provides for
the abolition of the court immediately
upon ratification of the proposed
amendment.
This bill may have no connection
with the late . special gubernatorial
campaign, but it is a fact that during
ithat campaign numerous threats to
(Start this movement against the court
of appeals were made.
It is not the general impression that
this bill will pass.
To relieve possible congestion in
the supreme court because of th’
abolition of the court of appeals, th?
same gentlemen presented a compan
ion bill providing for three additional
justices of the supreme court, and a
division of that court in civil and
criminal branches.
