I hadn't caught my breath and

there was a green one. with white legs

like a rainbow- having the cramps.
Two little girls, their white dresses
“pattered with aint, came round the
corner in pursuit of the pups.
" 'Say. kiddoes, what's the matter
with those dogs?’ I asked.
" 'The man's putting paint on our
walls.' they explained. ‘And we thought
it would be fun to dip the puppies in
his buckets and have >m three colors.
The man says It’ll wash out in cold
water.’
" 'Maybe so.' I said. 'But if your

use that water cure before he sees
those pups, or he'll leave you for a

Policeman Discovers
The Secret of Love.
"Believe me, it’s the hot weather and
not the moon that makes the sentiment
bubble out in the young heart this time
of year." The speaker was a police
man-philosopher. He patrols Peach
tree and considers all persons between
sixteen and twenty-one his special
charges.
"Out of the wealth of mv experience
I tell you this: The moon shines as

good to walk abroad at this season.
'Most any night you can hear soft

of a piano with the sound of a voice
singing ‘I Want No Stars in Heaven to
Guide Me.’ This particular young wom

repertoire of songs was chosen quite at

course, never see them. I don’t see that
it really matters if this summer's en

for the time, whether it takes'or peels.
I for one am glad that there is more
or less insincerity, in it, because if it
wasn’t, there certainly would he some
direful things happen. It would he aw

who declared a positive hankering to
cut off one or two fingers Just to show
the girl from Louisville that he was
capable of suffering Mr her sake, would
really make good. Why, in a little while
he wouldn't have any more fingers and

The Oldest Blood Disease
The most ancient history furnishes evidence that mankind suffered
with Contagious Blood Poison. The disease has come down through all
the ages and is to-day, as it has ever been, a scourge and blight upon hu
manity. The symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison are the same as in its
earliest history, but its cure has now become an accomplished fact, where
as, it was once considered an incurable infection. S. S; S. is an antidote
for the virus of Contagious Blood Poison, and cures
it in all its forms and stages. S. ,S. S. possessing
both purifying and tonic properties routs out all the
poison, and at the same time builds up the general
\ health. A person who has been -cured of Conta
-1 gious Blood Poison by the use of ,S. S. S. need not
/ fear a return of its symptoms at any future time.
This great medicine checks the progress of the
yj H| jF poison and gradually but surely all sotes and erup
tions heal, ulcerated mouth and throat pass .away,
the hair stops falling out, copper-colored splotches
fade away, and when the blood is thoroughly purified no sign of the disease
is left. Home Treatment book and any medical advice free.

EXPLOSION WRECKS
ENGLISH COAL PIT;
FORTY MINERS DEAD
!
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENG
LAND. July 9.—An explosion wrecked
a section of the Gadeby coal pit dt
Conlsborough. Yorkshire, today. Mine
.officials said several hours after the
explosion that the death list would be
more than 40, while others were miss
ing and were believed to be dead in
the shaft.
A squa'd of relief workers entered
the mouth of the mine, But could make
little headway because of the presence
of noxious gases. Scenes of pathos
and excitement attended the disaster
while the families of the penned up
miners clustered about the pit mouth
imploring that their relatives be res
cued.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon 30 bodies
had been recovered. Many of the
corpses taken out w ere burned so badly
they could not be identified.
One hundred and fifty miners were
at work in th" mine when the explo
sion took place.
Conisborough is the seat of the
Yorkshire mining district in West Rid
ing.
King George visited the colliery yes
terday and was shown through the
plant. The king is the guest of the
Earl of Fitzwllliam at his estate in
Yorkshire.
W. C. JENKINS, WHO
STOLE ALEX SMITH’S
TRUNK,HELD INSANE
SAVANNAH. GA., July 9.—On the the
ory that his hallucinations of having plen
ty of moniy, and that he does not have to
work makes him a fit subject for the
state sanitarium, W. C. Jenkins, of At
lanta, who was recently arrested, charged
with the larceny ?ofs a trunk from Alex
W. Smith, ex-president of the Georgia
Bar Association, at Ty.bee, has been de
clared insane by a jury. The criminal
prosecution had been previously nol
prossed by the solicitor general. The
evidence tended to show that Jenkins'
trouble Is the result .of overstudy as a
child. He was recently in trouble in
Jacksonville, but the matter was settled.
He represented himself then as being
a lieutenant in the United States army
and a graduate of West Point. Dress
suits from Smith's trunk were loaned to
Savannah police, who had a big time in
them at the beach on the occasion ot
their annual picnic.

Men and Religion Bulletin No. 5
THE HOUSES IN OUR MIDST
A CONFESSION
Corruption, Political and Otherwise
FIVE FACTS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
First. SEDUCTION of girls is made certain, frequent and
profitable by the houses in our midst.
The houses must have inmates.
The inmates can be only prostitutes. .
A prostitute is a fallen woman.
A fallen woman cars be obtained only by seduction.
They die in five to seven years from being bought and sold.
Hence the .sign of “girls wanted” must be frequently given the trade.
Over $700,000 per annum is the volume of trade in our houses
You, through your officials, who have sworn to enforce the law, and do it
not, are responsible for this.
Second. DISEASES, the most malignant and deadly, are
spread among the innocent by the houses.
. One of these maladies was formerly regarded as-no worse that a “bad cold.”
.Some doctors estimate that 50 per cent, others 90 per cent, of men have it.
Once regarded as a joke, it is now known to be a source of disease of the prostate
gland among men. blind eyes for their children, and suffering and death to their wives
and babies.
Twenty per cent of Americans, according to a .medical authority, are now suffering
from the other malady, which, beginning with ar. eruption, like a slow fire devours
the bones, muscles, arteries and viscera.
Sometimes the features are eaten away.
Doctors say that in three years all prostitutes are infected with both diseases.
Both may be transmitted to the innocent by towels, furniture, drinking cups, and
door knobs.
The first, second, third and fourth generation of children bear the blight.
You help to scatter it by the failure of your officials to keep their oaths of
office.
Third. PROSTITUTION has never been confined or
segregated in a district of Atlanta.
The evil was not scattered by the attack on Collins street, the former so-called
segregated district.
It was already scattered, as is ever the ease where segregation is supposed to be in
force.
When good men dared do no more than ask that the houses be moved from the
neighborhood of the churches and the Boys’ and Giris’ High Schools, the solemn
faree of Selecting another segregated district was enacted.
An injunction then was required to move the evil from the doors of our schools
and churches, so zealous were our officials in the non-enforeement of law.
You. through your officials, who broke the laws of God and of man, refused to
disturb our official market for seduced girls and the municipal source
, of foul diseases until a new site had been sanctioned and prepared for
these desirable interests.
Fourth. SEGREGATION is an unbearable pretense, mak
ing a few rich and enriching all with corruption.
The evil has been found in hotels and assignation houses.
More than thirty-three of the houses are scattered.
Only eleven are in the segregated district.
But seven of these in the district pay their owners $43,074.00 per annum rent.
The thirty-three pay their owners only $19,317.60 per annum rent.
The advertisement of the city’s approval and protection produces large returns to
the favored few.
Your share of the reward may be the blighted blood and bones of sons now near
ing manhood and the blind eyes of the children of these growing sons, who are being
falsely taughl by your actions that it is necessary and right for a man to gratify his ’
lusts, and that he may do so with the approval, protection vnd participation of At
lanta in this district.
You. through your officials, who are disregarding the law, are enriching the
few and smearing yourself and all with this slime of corruption.
Filth. OUR MAYOR, when asked to appoint disinterest
ed citizens to investigate with a view to suppressing
this evil in Atlanta, appoints a mm financially interest
ed in a house of ill fame a member of the Vice Com
mission.
I nquestionably. many of our officials and Mayor Winn have been conscientious.
Most probably the mayor did not know of the property interest of the man ap
pointed.
Possibly the man is not conscious of wrongdoing.
This would only better illustrate the persistent and insidious course of the poison.
One who has studied this problem in cities says: ' e> Prostitution, protected by a thick
hedge of secrecy, imperceptibly renewing itself through changing administrations, is
the one fixed point of maladministration. The corruption spreads until the brothel,
the saloon and the gambling hall are the trio literally at the base of the administra
tion of our cities.” \
You and we, through these officials, who are setting at naught our laws,
which they have sworn to enfoi*ce, are helping to maintain publie
places for the sale of seduced girls, and for spreading disease and moral
and political corruption.
Atlanta, when her shame is realized, will not endure it
longer. '
The coming dawn of the day of reckoning is even now sending shafts of
light above the horizon.
In Christ’s name awake! '
