®5 SMOKE Li
IS MONEL SAVER
Inspector Charges Men Who
Fight the Observance With
i Shortsightedness.
"Every owner of a steam plant in
Atlanta who is violating the smoke or
dinance could comply with the ordi
nance and at the same time make his
power cheaper,” said Smoke Inspector
Paul McMichael today.
-AU the opposition to the smoke cru
sade is nothing less than short-sight
edness. Manufacturers and other own
ers of steam nlants will not only render
B ztMx «-rp».'e to their fellow citizens
by stopping the smoke, but they will
fH ve money for themselves.
“Smoke Is simply incomplete combus
tion Perfect combustion means more
powei for the same money, and no
nmoke.
"There are a number of concerns
which will put in smoke consumers and
guarantee that they will pay for them
telves in decreased coal bills or the in
(,ettM'd efficiency of plants in periods
of time varying from six months to
three years.
Crusade Helps Consumers.
•Instead of thinking the war against
smoke a hardship on them, owners of
eteam plants will come to realize that
It is a blessing to themselves, as well
as the people at large.”
The duties of Inspector McMichael
have more than quadrupled since a
number of cases were made in the re
corder’s court against violators of the
smoke law. and newspaper publicity
has .-l -'vn that public sentiment -de
mands an abatement of the smoke nui
sance.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the
hour when he is in his office at the
ity hall to give advice to persons who
~u ll! to comply with the law, he is daily
l r god with questioners. The scene
ny afternoon reminds one of a class
room, with many students listening to
a lecture.
All classes of owners of steam plants
have gone seriously to the task of
Earning how to stop smoke.
"I am now convinced that we will
produce nome gratifying results." said
Inspector McMichael.
Based on a detailed study of the sit
uation. Inspector McMichael has esti
mated that smoke costs Atlanta more
than $1,000,000 a year. Os this amount.
126.1,060 is fuel value lost to the-manu

million dollars comply vdtth the
smoke ordinance properly.
Seventy-five per cent of the boilers jn
the city are tubular boilers. Inspector

S2OO to SBOO each.
Twenty-five per cent of the boilers
are water tube boilers. These are all
in very large plants. They can be
made to comply at a cost of from SBOO
to $3,000 each. 9
It will be an easy matter to build
new plants so that they will comply
with the law.
Inspector McMichael said emphati
cally that the owners of the plants
could figure a dividend on these in
vestments, and that every citizen of
Atlanta would also be able to figure a
direct dividend, for he estimates that
the soot damage in this city amounts
to $5 per capita.

docket more cases in Hie recorder’s

Granted Insurance
After Lung Trouble
There are so many cases of consump
tion reported where the details show the I
disease started with a cold or a cough
that it is really surprising that people are
not more anxious to immediately stop
these apparently minor troubles. Our ad
vice is "stop the cough or cold, If pos
sible, without delay." Otherwise more
serious troubles are likely to follow. If
the medicines you are now taking do nyt
bring relief, try Eckman's Alterative, as
this man did:
237 Dean Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
"Gentlemen: I am giving you below a
brief history of my case, which I trust
you will use for the benefit of those suf
fering from any similar troubles.
“About a year and a half ago I noticed
that my health was rapidly falling, until
at the end of six months my weight had
fallen to 129 pounds. I was troubled with
night sweats, a severe cough and was very
weak, having in fact absolutely no ambi
tion whatever. About this time I consult
ed" a physician, who told me my lungs
were affected. Not satisfied, I went to
another doctor, who, after examining me,
said that I was in the first stages of
consumption. At this point 1 started to
take Eckman’s Alterative. The night
sweats stopped almost immediately, ray
cough became looser and gradually dls
appeared. My weight 1s now 142 pounds
and my physician has pronounced me per
fectly sound -which, together with the
fact that I have been accepted by two dif
ferent insurance companies for insurance,
makes me sure of my entire recovery by
Eckman’s Alterative. I should be very
glad to communicate with any’ one who
would be interested in my case."
1 Sworn affidavit) W. E. GEE.
Eckman’s Alterative Is effective In bron
chitis, asthma, hay fever, throat and lung
troubles, and in upbuilding the system.
Does not contain poisons, opiates ar hab
it-forming drugs. For sale by all of Ja

If you’ll go down to the police station
today you may find some of 'that lead
pipe missing from your bath room on your
return from your vacation. The detec
tives’ office has a ton or so of It, of all

charged you S9B for putting in is worth
about 98 cents as junk.

plumbing supplies was made by Mounted
officer Charles Brannan today. He was
riding down Peters street when he saw a
negro In a junk shop near Hilfs alley cut
ting open a sack with a big knife.
Brannan dismounted and grabbed the
negro, who made a slash at tbe officer
with the knife aiqj then ran away. The
officer brought the contents of the sack,
battered lead pipe, to the station.
Mny complaints have reached the po
lice that houses left empty for the sum
mer have been entered and the pipe amt
plumbing fixtures removed. In several
instances the bath tub has been carried
away in a wagon in broad daylight.
