WOMAN’S DRESS IS SHOCK TO WOMAN BLIND FOUR YEARS COLUMBUS, OHIO, Nov. 6.—"1 had no Idea of the changes taking place in wom en's styles.” said Mrs. W. K. Liggett, who has regained her sight after four years of total blindness due to cataracts, of which she has been cured by an oper ation. "I had no idea what frights women were making of themselves, though my club friends had given me the best word descriptions they could of the changing styles. I was shocked the first time I saw a lady fashionably attired after I re covered my sight, and, in fact, I have not yet become used to the change. “In everything there has been improve ment, It seems to me, except women’s dress. I can not get used to that. The scantiness of the dresses is almost shock ing.” Mrs. Liggett is a club woman and prominent in local society. A Serious Joke on The Rabbit The U. S. Gov’t has been experimenting to dis cover the poisonous quality of Caffeine (found in coffee). 57 healthy rabbits were given an average dose of 5 1-10 grains. —They all died. See Gov’t Bulletin No. 1 48, Bureau of Chemistry. A cup of coffee contains over 2 i-2 grains of Caffeine', enough in two cups to kill a rabbit. Os course this joke was on the rabbits. A goodly number of humorous Americans play the same joke on themselves and keep it up until some fixed form of disease sets in, as a result of the daily dose of Caffeine, in quantity enough to kill a rabbit, but only enough to Cripple a Man Not at one blow, but by little blows repeated daily. Os course some systems are strong enough to stand all kinds of abuse, but when a man or woman observes a growing nervousness, or heart trouble, stomach, bowel or eye disturbances, it is time to quit the daily dose of coffee and see if Nature will begin to heal. It is easy to shift from coffee to Postum. The food beverage has the deep, seal-brown color which turns to a golden-brown when cream is added. The flavour has the crisp tang so winning to the palate and the cup is made instanter by one struck spoonful of the powder, Instant Postum stirred in a cup of hot water, and there you are. The change from coffee to Postum works wonders. Grocers sell Instant Postum ---ioo-cup tins at 50c. 50-cup tins at 30c. If your grocer doesn’t have Instant Postum send his name with 2c stamp for postage and we will send you a 5-cup sample free. “There’s a Reason for Postum Made bv Postum Cereal Co., Ltd..

ND FIGHT AGAINST OUSTING SMOKE BOARD SEEN ‘Councilman Smith’s Act Abol ishing Commission Will Be Considered Nov. 17. Councilman Charles W. Smith, who Is leading the fight to abolish the smoke commission, said today he did not be lieve there would be any opposition to his ordinance abolishing the commis sion. It will be considered at the meet ing of council on November 17. "The members of council and the cit izens of Atlanta generally realize that I the smoke commission must be abolish ed if we are ever to make any progress in abating the smoke commission,” he declared. "A majority of the commis sion is clearly blocking the crusade to reduce the smoke evil. We will have to abolish the board to get rid of that undesirable majority." Mr. Smith said that he had received assurance of support of his ordinance from a number of officials. He said he had not heard a single councilman or alderman express himself as approving . the action of the smoke commission. Broyle* Finos Four Offenders. Recorder Nash Broyles stated from the bench yesterday afternoon that the smoke ordinance was a good law, and should be enforced against all who are violating it. He fined four offenders — Frank Harrell, of the Aragon , hotel; J. L. DeGive, of the Grand building; J. B. Whitney, of the Atlanta Milling Company, and W. F. Wlnecoff, of the Austell building—..2s.7s each. Smoke Inspector McMichael inform ed the recorder that 90 per cent of smoestacka in the city were violating the law. There were more than twen ty-five owners of stationary steam plants in the court to hear the position taken by the recorder. Judge Broyles declared: "These four men should not be made the 'goats’ of this situation. Cases should be made against all the violat ors.” Councilman Smith's first move will be to request Wilmer L. Moore, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and J. M. VanHarlingen, chairman of the smoke committee of the Chamber of Com merce, to hold a meeting of the com mittee of the chamber to discuss the matter. Would Give Chamber a Voice. Mr. Smith said the attitude of the commission made some Immediate ac tion imperative. Four well known men have been fined, wihle the commission virtually has Instructed the Inspector not to make any more cases against the numbers of others woh are violating the law. He said as the Chamber of Com merce had begun the agitation for a smoke commlssiori, he thought it should have a voice in solving the present problem. R. M. Harwell, chairman of the smoke commission, and who has insisted all along that the smoke ordnlnance should be enforced, said that he had received many letters from citizens thanking him for his stand and urging that At lanta be relieved from the smoke evil. Mr. Harwell showed this letter as typical of the sort he was receiving, which, he said, indicated very clearly the attitude of the public on the mat ter: Sample Smoke Complaint. Mr. R. M. Harwell, Chairman of the Smoke Commission: Dear Sir —I have noticed of your action requiring people to comply with the smoke law. My porch is covered two or three times a day with soot from the North avenue railroad yards. It Is a continual nuisance and every thing in the house is ruined by soot where there is a chance for it to get in. The apartment houses all over the city are about as bad as the factories. They should be looked after also. I hope you will get right behind everybody and enforce the law to the letter. The loss from sot in houses of private families, to say nothing of the outside loss and the danger to health, is enormous. I am sure the whole city will back you in every thing you do to get rid of smoke. I am a citizen and a taxpayer of Atlanta and have been here for nearly 30 years. Yours very truly, A. A. SMITH, 198 West Peachtree Street. WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC ON INCREASE IN FRANCE PARIS, Nov. 6.—The white slave traffic is making alarming progress in French cities. The secret police are actively at work, and numerous arrests have been made In Paris and Lyons. Vigilance societies are also on the track of a clandestine organization that ap- i pears to be very widely spread. News from Quebec states that the police of that city made a raid on two houses, and out of the seventeen women they found there fifteen were respectable young French girls, who had been en ticed out on fictitious engagements as school teachers and dressmakers. Once in they were entrapped; they were kept prisoners until they accepted the re volting career. Mexico and Argentina are the favorite markets, It appears.
