4 HOUSE WAITS DN FIGHTING SENATE 1 , End of Session of Congress In definitely Delayed by States Claims Dispute. WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.—A plan of campaign wa.« evolved by member* of the house early today to put the ques tion of adjournment squarely up to the senate. The plan, it is «a.ld. included an agreement bt house members that after today ho question of a quorum shall be raised and that a speaker pro tern, shall he designated to call the house to order every two or three days, permitting most of the members to leave, and to conduct business along this line until the senate gets tired of staying her«- Thls plan was unofficially circulated among the members of the sqnate. To day the senators from Virginia, Oregon. Maryland and Texas appeared to be just as firm In their determination to tight adjournment until the claims of their states are restored to the general deficiency bill as they were Saturday night. Senators I.aFollette and Pen rose were prepared to stand by their fight. No Overtures to Senate. ■ Representative t'nderwood today an nounced that no overtures would he made to the senate with regard to the deficiency appropriation bill or a set tled date of adjournment. “So far as the house is concerned," said he “the general deficiency bill Is nut of their hands and on the way to the president. If the senate insists on amendments tn this bill which have no right to be in it, the house can not be held responsible We are prepared to stand until the senate shall send word that it desires a further conference on this bill." Congressman Fitzgerald declared to day the house would never yield. Speak er Clark Is of the opinion that the house w ill meet the compromise. In this event the deficiency bill probably will be passed in February. 1913. In anticipation that the senate might recede, the general deficiency bill, minus the $600,900 state claims, which have been the cause of the fight, was en grossed today, so that within a few minutes it can be forwarded to Presi dent Taft. Taft Swelters and Waits. The first train north leav ing Washington after congress adjourns will carry President Taft toward Beverly That's all any one here knows today about the time the chief executive would leave for Massa chusetts. The adjournment of con gress was then a very much unknown quantity, and Taft felt that he could not leave while the national legislature •was in session. Washington today Is in the throes of the summer's hottest spell. To add to the president's discomfort was the fact that all of Mr. Taft's summer clothes had been sent to Beverly, and he spent yesterday and today In woolens in stead of the flannels or crash he is ac customed to wear. In addition, the knowledge that It was costing him S2OO a day for his private car held ready for immediate use and the provisions to stock it did not add to the president's comfort, FATHER'S SKIN IS GRAFTED ON SON’S BURNED LEG NEW YORK, Aug 26.

Full Information and Rates hy Telephone THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B NEVIN. A great many politicians in Georgia are taking the results of Wednesday's primary to mean, among other things, that the state of Georgia is pretty well satisfied with the measure of prohibi tion, real or imaginary, it now has, and that immediate efforts, at least, to change the status of things is going to > meet with failure. ' Whatever of rank dissatisfaction there may be with the present law and its enforcement would seem to have been well rounded up in the vote ac corded Mr. Alexander. Mr Alexander made the prohibition question the paramount issue of his campaign He based his entry Into the fight against Mr. Slaton upon the gov ernor's failure to sign the Tippins bill, ’ after that bill had passed the house and the senate by a two-thirds vote of each house. The gentleman from DeKalb made the issue plain from one end of Georgia to the other. He pictured whatever of the horrible there may be In Georgia's , present attitude with respect to the prohibition law. He said, with vehe mence, and it was heralded by the newspapers everywhere, that Georgia was “in a state of anarchy." If any man ever was qualified seem ingly to force the issue of prohibition at this particular time, Hooper Alex ander certainly was that man. And yet, on the Issue of "Georgia In a state of anarchy." because of the pro hibition law 3S it stands today, Mr Alexander was able to carry but one lonesome county—and that by the nar rowest sort of margin His popular vote was something like twenty per cent only of the total vote cast. The conclusion that Georgia is not in a state of anarchy seems, therefore, by many to be abundantly warranted. One of the most pronounced and ar dent prohibitionists In Georgia, dis cussing the question of prohibition a few days before the primary, said: "Georgia is trying out a most inter esting experiment, and I, as a prohibi tionist and temperance man. would like to see lr carried to Its logical conclu sion. "We have abolished the old-fash ioned barroom, where all sorts of heavy drinks were sold, and substituted for it a bar in which only beer Is dispensed "True, we know that real beer is sold In these places, and not ‘near-beer,’ so called. But. as a rule, nothing but bee ts sold there. “In one or two big cities the law is HILLYER TRUST CO.

Aug 26.—Emperor William. , who is confined to bis bed in Wlams hoecastle with a severe cold, is slightly improved today. The physicians scoffed at reports that file kaiser's condition is more seriou« than the public suspects TH E ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. AL G.LST 26. 1912. flagrantly violated, and the old-time bars flourish with impunity—those cities n<*ver will obey any sort of pro hibition law, perhaps. Certainly not at this time "But in Atlantal the capital of the state, and in the other cities, the law is well observed. There Is not a bar in this city that sells anything stronger than beer. "Gradually, I think, the public taste for drink in Georgia is being switched away from whisky to beer. "If that be true —and it will take time to demonstrate the truthfulness of the suggestion, to be sure I think pro hibitionists and temperance advocates may well pride themselves that much good has been accomplished." This Georgian then went on to dis cuss something of the progress of pro hibition and temperam e In Georgia, saying: “I am getting to be an old man I saw , when I was a boy. barrooms every where. "The old cross-roads bar was a com mon sight then. There was hardly a fork In tiie country byways that was not decorated with a doggery. The farmers then knew what it was to be harassed by the liquor prob'em in a manner unknown nowadays These country bars were almost devoid of po lice protectioh. and they were breeders of all sorts of lawlessness “The first step was to abolish the. cross-roads bar This was done by the enactment of law prohibiting bar.- within certain distances of churches and school houses, unless located in in corporated towns. “it was a great relief to get the bars confined to the towns, and removed from the rural sections. "Gradually, we restricted the bars to the cities We limited their number, we licensed them high, we regulated their hours. “Then w e drove them from the 'trail er towns and confined them to large towns "Then we closed all the old-time bars in the cities, and we are now weaning the public away from its former taste for strong drink, and if we can induce It to confine itself to beer and light wines for a number of years, logically we may hope eventually to get rid of the question entirely. “Certainly we have made most ex cellent progress. Certainly the experi ment we are now’ undergoing is prom ising “I think the public will reject any violent changes in the present state "of things that may be proposed in the near future."

TRAINED NURSE CURES DIABETES A letter from a trained nurse. Miss Isa belle M. Potter, of Portland, Oregon, con denses to the following: “I have care of a patient who is taking your Diabetes Compound. It has been my pleasure to have several of these eases. I say pleasure because it is quoted as in curable. but I can not see it that way. This patient was in a very despondent mood, staying in bed most of the time. Today he was out walking several times, walking nearly three miles. I am not an advocate of drugs, as a rule, but when a patient thinks he needs one thing or an other I never oppose. My’ patient is im proving fast. His sight was failing, but already shows decided improvement.” The plain fact is that Diabetes, al though supposed to be incurable, is now being cured every day in people of mid dle age and over. We marvel that phy sicians and hospitals can be content to see patients slowly succumb under code ine, arsenaurn. etc., when many of them can recover ffy the simple use of a mild infusion under which specific gravity and sugar begin to decline in most cases with in twenty days.
