NEW YORK. July 9. —Despite a re

leading to the arrest and conviction of
the "Ripper” who mutilated and killed
twelve-year-old Julia Connors, the po

How toKeep Infanta Well in Hot Weather
6-KEEP FLIES OFF THE BABY
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 in hot weather.
By MISS BERTA THOMSON.
(Nurse in charge ot 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 flics
is literally endangering its life —inno-
cently, of course, but nevertheless the
result is the same.
T'he fact that flies carry germs of
disease by the wholesale should be
sufficient warning to all mothers.
Disturb Child s Rest.
It is this carrying of disease by flies,
and the danger 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, air
also that it is unable to fight off flies
as are the grown-ups. we at once sec
just how important it Is.
In addition to the danger of disease,
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 o*f 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. ami
probably spreading the germs of some
dread disease. Such a sight is enougn
to make us cringe.
House Should Be Screened.
As to the remedy for this peril. I
would say that house in which
there is a baby should have carefully
screened 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. When 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 comes
about.
HEAT WAVE AGAIN
HITS CHICAGO; FOUR

CHICAGO, July 9. —With high tem
peratures predicted for today and to
morrow and with occasional showers
the only possible relief, according to
the weather bureau, Chicago this morn

GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN
GO TO AID OF YOUTH
SCORING NEGRO POLICE
WASHINGTON. Jul- 9. Senator
Hoke Smith, accompanied by Repre
sentatives Bartlett and Hughes, of
Georgia, appeared in a police court
here yesterday as counsel for Grover
Kelly, a young Macon (Ga.i boy. who
had been arrested by a colored police
man for making remarks derogatory to
negro blue coats.
Kelly came to Washington as chauf
feur for H. C. Wadsworth, of Atlanta,
and wandered down by the Potomac
river and watched the fishermen. See
ing a colored policeman, he remarked
that such a sight would not be toler
ated in the South, and that if one
should attempt to arrest a white man
It would start a street riot. The guard
ian of the law applied boot and night
stick to the young man. and took him
to the nearest precinct, whence he was
released on cash bond.
When the three Georgia congress
men walked into the police station they
were told that no case had been dock
eted and that the cash collateral had
been returned to Kelly.
They then went into executive ses
sion with the district attorney and ex
pressed their opinion of negro polu e
' men in general.

CECELIA LOFTUS
ffITS DIVORCE
English Actress Makes Home
in Milwaukee to Sue Chicago
Physician,
MILWAUKEE. WIS., July 9.—Cecilia
Loftus, the famus English singer and
star of the London music halls, has
become a resident of Milwaukee.
Miss Loftus, who in private life is
Mrs. A. H. Waterman, has engaged an
apartment in a select East side apart
ment building, and made it her home
until she sailed for England, where she
is resting.
Miss Loftus was accompanied by a
companion and a maid, who nude up
her household. It is said that her pur
pose in engaging the apartment was to
establish a residence in Milwaukee with
a view to to a divorce next year. Miss
Loftus appeared at thq Majestic thea
ter during the holidays. That was her
first visit for several years.
Miss Loftus and Dr, Alonzo H. Wat
erman were secretly married in Lon
don June 9. 1909. He was in charge of
the London hospital at the time, go
ing there from Chicago. It was fully
a month after the ceremony had been
performed at the Kensington registry
office that friends learned of the union.
It .was said he proposed by phone.
Dr. Waterman is now resident physi
cian at the New Hotel Sherman. Chi
cago. He returned to Chicago and re
sumed his practice.
When ’Peter Pan." Miss Loftus’ nine
pound baby, was born to her in Lon
don. December 2. 1910. the news was
cabled all over the world, and when she
brought the child to Chicago in 1911
her reception on the part of her friends
was in the nature of an ovation.
Mrs. Waterman’s first marriage was
with Justin Huntley McCarthy, dramat
ist. poet and historian, with whom she
eloped in 1896. Four years later she
obtained a Hivoree in Philadfelphia.
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 money, and that he does not have to
work makes him a fit subject for the
stkte sanitarium. W. C. Jenkins, of At
lanta. who was recently arrested, charged
with the larceny of a trunk from Alex
W. Smith, ex-president of the Georgia
Bar Association, at Tybee. has been de
clared insane by a jury. The criminal
prosecution had been previously nol
pressed 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 of
their annual picnic.
FRENCH AVIATOR KILLED

MEN ADVISED TO
RETURN TO KILTS
Englishman Says Modern Attire
of Male Sex Has Reached
Acme of Ugliness.
LONDON. July 9. —Modern fashions
were criticised by J. Grant Ramsay in
a lecture at the Institute of Hygiene,
on "Dress and Clothing in Summer.”
Men's attire, he said, had reached
the acme of ugliness, and the only ex
cuse for it was that It was meant to be
useful rather than ornamental. There
were indications, however, that a re
action toward adornment and color had
begun. Thei e were bright blue ties
and pale pink socks as well as Ham
burg- and Tyrolese hats. Even the
feather had appeared and although it
was a tiny one, no one knew to what
length it might grow.
Man. however, required a more sci
entific garment than that now worn.
This might be secured by the adoption
of the kilt. They would find it nol
only an attraction, but the best invest
ment they ever had to deal with.
Ciiticising “the mountainous con
glomeration of every conceivable form
of eccentricity” which women now
wear as a head dress, he said there]
might be some advantage in having i
the sunshade and hat in partnership,
but the weight was often a real danger
to health. "If,” he said, “such a bur
den were placed on the head of the
lower animals, it is not at all itnp'nb-l
able that we should soon find some hu- |
mane society taking drastic measures
to put a stop to it.”

RADIUM GRANGES
COLOR (IF GEMS
Sapphires Bought for 40 Cents
a Carat Made to Look Like
Valuable Stones.
LONDON. July 9.—Still another won
derful property of radium has been
placed on record —the property of be
ing able to change the colors of pre
cious and semi-precious stones.
The change is effected merely by
continued exposure to radium salts, and
the stone which gives the best results
are sapphires.
A young Geifnan chemist is raid to
have obtained the most wonderful re
sults from this remarkable discovery.
He recently purchased several va
rieties of sapphires, and placed them in
a box with a small quantity of radium
bromide. The astonishing transforma
tion of the stones after only about one
month's exposure to the radium are
described as follows:
Original Co*°r. New Color,
White or uncolored. Topaz like yellow.
Blue emerald green.
Violet Sapphire blue.
Wine colored Beautiful ruby.
Inferior dark col-
ored S.Deep violet.
Scarcely daring to credit the evidence
of his eyes, the chemist visited a jew
eler from whom he bought the stones
at an average price of 40 cents per
carat, and asked what the jeweler
would offer for the ' new' parcel. The
jeweler, suspecting nothing even after
a close examination, offered $lO per
carat- for all the stones, with the ex
ception of the small but exquisite ruby
colored one. for which he said he was
willing to give no less than SIOO a
carat.
A reporter who visited the Salisbury
house officials of the British Radium
I Corporation, Inc., the owners of the
pitchblend ore rights of the Trenwith

corundums of various colors which

according to reports received here to
day. The shock occurred Saturday night
and lasted for forty seconds. It is the
most violent ever known here. Chimneys
were knocked down and the quake caused

was caught under a slide and suffocated.
SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Speaker John N. Holder took advan
tage of the recess of the legislatute in
cident to the Fourth of July to open
formally his campaign for congress in
the Ninth district.
He addressed a crowd of some 3.000
persons at Ball Ground, Cherokee coun
ty. Thursday afternoon, a large part of
which was made up of citizens of Pick
ens, Gilmer. Fannin and Forsyth, neigh
boring counties, all in the Ninth dis
trict.
The speaker declared himself in fa
vor of a parcels post, an extended
public school system, with free text
books eventually, state and Federal
sanitary regulations, state agricultural
farms, with Federal aid, a graduated
income tax, extension of the powers of
the interstate commerce commission,
limited terms for all Federal judges,
amplified and better immigration laws,
reclamation and development of waste
land, particularly in the South, and oth
er reforms.
Because, of his legislative duties,
Speaker Holder will not be able, until
after adjournment, to devote a great
deal of time and attention to his cam
paign. So far as speech-making is
concerned, he will be able to do little
if any of that for the next 40 days.
Nevertheless, the speaker is very con
fident that his fences are in excellent
shape, and he believes he will win out.
Mr. Holder's only announced oppo
nent for congressional honors in the
Nintli at present is William A. Charters,
of Gainesville, an able and well-known
attorney and former solicitor general
of the Northeastern circuit. It is said,
upon excellent authority, however, that
the present congressman from the
Ninth. Thomas M. Bell, surely will be
in the race to succeed himself, in which
event it may be accepted as a certain
ty that victory, wherever it may rest
finally, will be welt earned.
An optimist is a person who does
not believe all the mean things the
weekly press says aboqt the Georgia
legislature.
There is considerable desire and not a
small measure of anxiety among Geor
gians generally to know why and when
Clark Howel) shaved his moustache.
He left Baltimore the Saturday of con
vention week with his moustache intact
and as graceful as of yore; he landed in
Atlanta moustacheless and almost un
recognizable. None of the oldest inhab
itants hereabouts remember a moustache
less Clark Howell of the past; but they
are up against one today.

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

mum.
All anybody knows, or seems destined
to know, is that the moustache isn’t
there any more.
Senator William H. Ennis was an In
terested onlooker while the state Demo
cratic executive committee was in ses
sion Saturday.
Senator Ennis, in all probability, will
be a candidate for solicitor general ot
the Rome circuit against the present hold
er of the office, John W. Bale, of Wal
ker.
Mr. Ennis was solicitor befere Mr. Bala,
and was defeated by that gentleman four
years ago in one of the warmest fights
ever waged in north Georgia. Mr. Ennis
carried Floyd county, but was over
whelmed by Mr. Bale in Chattooga and
Walker, the other two counties In the
Rome judicial circuit.
When the proposition was pending in
the sub-committee of the state commit
tee Saturday as to whether solicitors
and judges should be nominated in the
forthcoming primary under the unit or
the plurality rule, Mr. Ennis was asked
for an opinion, and immediately said that
he thought the plurality system would be
fairer in his circuit, and for that reason
he hoped it would be adopted. He real
ized. of course, that the unit system
.probably would have worked to his ben
efit, inasmuch as he is conceded to be
very strong in his home county of Floyd,
but he said he would consider such a
victory questionable in the end, and he
would prefer the other manner of nomi
nating.
Mr. Ennis’ outspoken attitude in this
matter doubtless had something to do
with shaping the committee’s final action.
The Tippins bill was framed “to
abolish the sale of near-beer in Geor
gia,” so a contemporary says; and
that is rather curious, since nobody
sells near-beer in this state.
