The early morning quiet of Marietta street was broken today by a sudden shriek which pierced the atmosphere from Five Points to the trolley build ing. broke up a cow auction in E’orsyth street and spoiled the gossip in the city ha‘l. It was followed by another, and then another, as though a woman were suffering all the torments of a June bug down the back of her neck. Every body dropped work and ran to the i street. I he shrieks came from a theater near the Five Points and the more they came the worse they got. The first cry of anguish deepend into a long, elastic ' wail, like a steamboat blowing for a wood yard. This was interrupted as suddenly as- though the fine Italian band of the villain had closed upon Tessie's windpipe. Horror-stricken, the ‘ mob rushed wildly toward the scene. Then the shriek sw itched into an ear : splitting note such as a 60-hOrsepower I clarinet might produce, reached its crescendo, fluttered a bit and came | dow n like a Jap acrobat doing the slide for life. The amazed listeners bad reached the door by this time. Some hesitated, but a few hardy spirits went boldly In. The man was putting a new rinky dink on the rag-time orchestrion in the lobby. And "Everybody's Doin' It” was the only victim.

Analyzing health conditions In At lanta today Dr. Claude A. Sinitli. city bi'.eteriologist. declared that one of the greatest sources of contagious diseases was the homes of negro se.iants. He urged stricter building and sanitary laws. "We hare Igno, d the home condi tions of the negro." said Dr. Smith, "when they are closer to us than the membets of our family. They do our laundry, our cooking and nu se our children. But we close out eyes to their health and living con litions. "Many of the negroes don't care how they live .Many of their home- are steeped tn disease-breeding filth. The well and personally clean ones associate with tubercular and other eotitagmus disease infected negro, s. We seem ingly don't cate if they live in holes in the ground and we ignore their asso ciates. "One remedy is more strict building and sanitary law.*," he continued. "The present building code permits the erec tion of almost any sort of a structure |in some sections of the ci;.- . r.ut th„ greatest med is to arouse even on' most intelligent people to their own apathy regarding these conditions. Fight Disease in Dark. "Every- person thinks that hi- s- 'V ants are all right. People laugh at any suggestion for bettering these condi tions as they did when campaigns were first begun against flics ami mosquitoes But until we give out negro population more attention we are fighting disease in the dark." Dr. Smith said that the campaign for better milk was showing better and better resuits. He sa'ld that a number of cases had recently been made again.-: dairymen as a result of the bacteria test and a great deal of milk that had been shipped to the city had bw n con demned for the same reason The city ordinance provides that aU milk sold in the city must be below 5.7 degrees in temperature to prevent growth of bacteria He said the ordi nance ought to be changed making it 50 degrees. And lie urged all con sumers of milk to secure a thermome ter and test the milk when 11 is deliv ered to them. Dr. Smith said that none of the milk sold in Atlanta was very bad. but that when the bacteria was not kept at a ■ minimum the milk was dangerous for , young babies. When there is an excess . of bacteria it has a general debilitating effect on the babies and often pro duces serious intestinal trouble. ANDERSON TO TAKE STUMP. SAVANNAH, GA.. Aug. 29. .1.
