What kills so many babies of the poor before they haw; passed their first summer? Bad milk. Where can the poor, who have no re frigerators, who must buy from wagons as they pass, obtain milk pure anti healthful for the baby? From the free baby clinic of the Jew ish Alliance, in Capitol avenue. The alliance is trying to do for the poor of Atlanta what Nathan Straus (lid for the teeming' thousands of New York's East Side. It is supplying, free of all charge, pure, sterilized milk for the babies whose mothers call or send. The milk depot has been in operation hardly more than a month, but already it has saved a dozen babies' lives. Every morning, every evening, the mothers and children may be seen at the alliance, the litth ones contentedly draining the wide-mouthed bottles of milk rendered chemically pure; the mothers taking home milk In bottles carefully sterilized by the woman in charge of the dispensary. "You should have seen some of these babies when they fust came." said oim of the attendants “Then you could see them now and know what this work has accomplished." But the alliance is doing somethin;; more It offers free medic;) inspection and care to all babies brought to the building. The be-1 physicians in Atlan ta. tendering flteir services for chari ty's sake, will remove the adenoids, which render children stunted ami dull witted; perform minor operations when necessarx. give advice to mothers on the cane of children. There is none too poor to have a dm tor for her biibx now. Thu clinic is open to all alike. The father and mother may labor hard for a livelihood; their food may be coarse and far front plentiful, but the babies, through the work of tin- alliance, ire l>eing given their chance to grow up into healthy, virile Americans.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Rich land owners whose properties lie in the ten derloin were in a panic today over the threat of Police Commissioner Waldo to make a public list of gambling houses, together with a list of the owners of the buildings. Later in the week he said he would probably publish a list of disorderly houses. He tried to have both lists ready at the same time, but there has been a great deal of work verifying the data. Appeals have been made to Mayor Gaynor to head off Commission er Waldo. According to police headquarters, • ommissioner Waldo has taken pains to acquire the history of each resort, showing that after being raided the places were invariably reopened. Mr. Waldo designed by this to show that the owners of necessity must have known the character of business car ried on within their property. The proposed publication of disor derly houses aroused more of a com motion than that of gambling details. Big Names in List. Many of the disreputable places are owned by persons whose reputations and social positions are above reproach. Trinity Corporation, a company con trolling properties owned by Trinity church, and William AValdorf Astor arc holders of considerable property which is included in the district which Dis trict Attorney Whitman wants to ask a few questions about. There is a possibility that owners or lawyers representing land-holding cor porations or estates will be called be fore the grand jury next month to ex plain why they allowed law violations. Lieutenant Charles A. Becker made ready to be arraigned today to plead to the indictment charging him with the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Becker was the only one of the five alleged murderers in custody who did not plead when the indictments were returned"by the grand jury last week. Attorney John F. Mclntyre, counsel for the ac cused police officer, said that he would have a startling statement to make when Becker was arraigned. Missing Gunmen Believed Caught NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Two men sus pected of being '"Gyp tlie Blood” and "Lefty Louie,” the missing gunmen un der indictment for the murder of Gam bler Herman Rosenthal, are today in custody at Fonda, Montgomery county. New York, where they were arrested last night. The arrest has brought about a con troversy between two detectives em ployed by William Burns and the au thorities of Fonda, according to a dis patch today. The two Burns opera tives aYrested the men, after trailing them from Albany. County Sheriff Er nest Kulbaum said over the phone that the sifSpects were not the missing gun fighters for whom District Attorney Whitman has offered a reward of $5,000, but were two street vendors xVho were locked up by Deputy Sheriff McLaugh lin for violating a village ordinance for peddling without a license. The two suspects were arrested at a Fonda hotel, where they had registered as "L. L. Goldenberg, of Brooklyn," and "H. H. Kueger, of Paterson, N. J." Com plaint had been made against them, the sheriff said, for selling clothing from house to house. When arrested, their baggage was searched by the private de tectives, but they reported to Burns that they had found nothing incrimi nating. Burns Thinks He Has Them, Burns admitted without hesitation that Ills operatives had made arrests al Fonda, and from descriptions of the men he said that he felt sure the much wanted gunmen bad at last been run to earth. The dispatch made a play on the sug gestiveness in the initials of the two suspects, pointingout that Goldenberg's initials stood for "Lefty Louie" and Kueger's for 'Harry Horowitz." which is "Gyp's" real name. Clews fastening suspicion upon the two men were obtained first in Albany. From that city the Burns men trailed the two suspects to Fonda. In their telephoned report the Burns defectives said that the two prisoners were indignant at being arrested. They claimed to be traveling men.

Aug 27. —President Taft is a Unitarian and attends regu larly All Souls Unitarian chnrch in Washington. .Mrs. Taft is and always has been an Episcopalian. She is a member and a reguar attendant of St. Johns Episcopal church in Washing ton. popularly known as "The Church of the Presidents" because so many of the nation’s .chief executives have at tended it. It seems almost trite to state such well known facts as these, but it also seems necessary-to do so because of an underhanded campaign against the president which is being carried on in certain parts of the coun try, some going so far in their perver sion of the facts as to assert that Mrs. Taft'is'a Roman Catholic. In this same connection, I wish to brand as absolutely false the state ment being circulated in the same quar ters that President Taft sent Major Butt to the Vatican to procure from the pope the .support of the Catholics in this country, the statement that Mr. Taft has attended Catholic services for political purposes, and the further statement that the president has been unduly favorable to Catholics. Every one of these statements is not only false, but wholly without foundation. It is a sad reflection on the president's op ponents that they stoop to such unworthy methods —although it indi cates how seriously they fear that Pres ident Taft will defeat them. Just to All the Creeds. President Taft is a just man, and, being a just man. he has been perfect ly just to Catholics, precisely as he has been to every other denomination. He is irrevocably opposed to any union of church and state, and never hesitates to say so, and nothing he has ever done has tended in that direction. These facts are well known to all who come in close touch with the president, who have an opportunity to learn his views at first hand and to observe his acts at close range. It is somewhat remark able that in these days of free and rap id communication between al! parts of the country it should be possible to mislead any one regarding such obvious facts. But unfortunately it is. and oven Masons have boon hoard to assert that the president is a Catholic, ap parently ignorant of the fact that the president, in addition to being a Unita rian. is himself a Mason. President Taft’h whole course in the white house in the cabinet and in the Philipitines has been guided by an in tense desire to live up to his concep tion of a just man and in the white house to be president of all the people, North and South, East and Wo-t. Prot estant and Catholic, religious and non religious. In the Philippines he was called upon to conduct many negotia tions with the Catholic church, begin ning with the time he was sent to Rome by President' McKinley to induce the pope to compel the friars, or monks, in the Philippines to part with their im mense land holdings at a reasonable price. Splendid Bargain Made. There are probably few Americans who realize the magnitude of the un dertaking which President McKinley confided to Mr. Taft. But President Taft achieved it with such infinite tact that he made no ene mies in Rome and yet perfected a bar gain which, even from the standpoints of Yankee shrewdness, must be pro nounced a good one. These lands ag gregated 400, nop acres of the best lands in tlie Philippines. They were occu pied by fiO.OOO people, the heads of the families being tenant farmers. The know but what he's right.

The purchase of these lands accom plished even more. The friars were al most entirely Spaniards. Their civil loyalty was all to Spain, and they were * not in sympathy with the United States or with American ideals of government. In 1898 there were 1,008 of these friars in the islands. Immediately after the purchase of their lands 762 left the Philippines. Os the remaining 246. 50 were aged and infirm and unable to do any work, and S 3, Dominicans, had re nounced the right to go into any par ishes, leaving only 113 active men, a large percentage of whom were engager! in teaching in the Catholic schools and colleges. In the opinion of those com petent to judge, the friar lands nego tiations constituted a diplomatic triumph for the United States and for ( Mr. Taft which has rarely been sur passed int heh istory of diplomacy. Exact Justice and No More. President Taft has treated the Cath olics with exact justice and no more. He has done the same for every de nomination with w hich he has come in contact. If there is any sect for which he has done exceptional favors-it is the Jews, but even in their case he has done only justice and he has done It for them as a race, rather than as mem bers of any religion. He won their un failing gratitude when he abrogated the treaty with Rus si t because that coun try persisted in its refusal to recognize the rights of American Jews. He won their admiration and respect when he interfered in behalf of Private Frank Bloom and censured the army officer who Sought to prevent Bloom's being admitted to examination for a commis sion as an officer because of the young man's race and social status. Through President Taft's interference Bloom was examined, passed and is now a commis- « sinned officer of the army. But in these cases, as in all others, President Taft was merely living up tc his determination to be just to all men CARE OF THETEETH IMPORTANT TO HEALTH Without perfect teeth one can not enjoy perfect health.
