Atlanta public schools, which returned
.in aggregate of $370 or an average of

Governor Asks All
Georgia to Buy Seals
Declaring that every person who does
not aid in the campaign to check the
inroads of tuberculosis .now being
waged, through the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals, is almost, guilty of
negative murder, Governor Joseph M.
Brown has issued the following appeal
i.i behalf of the work:
"Such inroads upon life are made by
tuberculosis that in the United States
200.000 -deaths annually are caused by
it—one every three minutes. • Experts
say one-half of all who die between the
ages of 18 and 45 are victims of tuber
culosis, but no repetition of figures, no
emphasis of speech, no words of warn
ing can add to the hotror and terror
and responsibility which, in the public
mind, attach to the gruesome devas
tations of this disease. People, public
and private, who do not perform every
act within their power to check this
scourge are almost guilty of negative
murder.
"It is not enough to segregate vic
tims. to be cleanly, to prevent infection
by sanitary methods in the destruction
of sputum and otherwise. Tuberculosis
will not be arrested until -the race is
built stronger, until the reserve force
that resists attacks of disease is great
er and more potent. The cause of tu
berculosis, as well as its prevention,
must be studied. The conditions that
make for the weakening of the race
must be remedied. As long as there
are lowly and congested quarters in cit
ies, as long as people are badly fed and
overworked, as long as the working
classes are improperly housed, both dur
ing their working and resting hours; as
!"ng as avarice drives the individual or
employers’ selfishness overdrives the
eiqployee, as long as there Is excessive
alcoholism and use of other poisons, the
human race will continue to weaken.
Hie vital energies of mankind must not
dissipated. When these things are
■necked by moral and legal rules of
discipline, the greatest blow will be
given to tuberculosis and kindred ene
mies of life.

Was there ever a truer description of a “Rent Payer” than as

Suppose you have been paying rent for years, where is the
honey (rent) you’ve been toiling fort Have YOU got it! Is it stored
away for your family to use? No; the landlord has taken it from the
hive and enjoyed it himself, and he will continue to do so as long as
you occupy his hive.
The Owner of the Hive Always Gets the Honey
Re has the right to it. The OWNER is wise, but the RENT PAYER who stores up honey

CHICAGO. Dec. 21. —Bailiffs in Judge
Owens’ court have been forced into the

out today with and court
orders directed against husbands and
intended to hurry up alimony payments

Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, made a
speech in which he intimated he might

been defeated before," he said, sudden
ly turning from jest, “and that was 24
years ago. I came back two years later
and I have been here ever since.”
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
has provided a means of raising money,
through the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals, thus enabling every person
in Georgia to contribute to this great
work in accordance with his means.
"The situation calls for such grave
consideration that I deem it my public
duty to officially emphasize the value
of united effort in this direction,
"I therefore urge the people of Geor

great work by buying Red Cross Christ

every reasonable way.

TAXICAB ROBBERY
REPEATED IN N.I.
Daylight Bandit Gang Attack
Two Paymasters, But Pro
cure Only $1,200.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—1 n broad day
light four auto bandits today beat into
unconsciousness two paymasters of the
Silk Finishing Company of America at
Bethune and Greenwich streets and
robbed them of a bag containing the
weekly pay roll of mill 35. The robbers
then leaped into a big car at the curb,
drove furiously up Greenwich street to
Vansevort, turned east and disap
peared. They secured $1,200.
The paymasters usually carry over
$7,000, but part of the force was paid
off yesterday. The hold-up was one
of the most daring in the criminal his
tory of the city, ranking with the great
taxicab robbery of February last, when
$25,000 of the East River National bank
funds was stolen downtown.
The men attacked were Charles Web
ber, paymaster of the company for the
past six years, and Edward Wyger, as
sistant paymaster and son of the gen
eral manager of the company.
It was nearly a half-hour after the
robbery occurred before a policeman ar
rived at the scene, although the Charles
street station is but a few blocks away.
In the meantime the injured men
were carried into a drug store, where it
was found that Wyger had a deep gash
in his head, caused by a blow from a
blackjack, and Webber’s throat was
black and blue from the effects of a
choking.
