2 TOT. ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 23, 191: How a Rich Girl Gave Up all for Suffrage The Life Sto ry of Miss Zelie P. Emerson by Remarkable Operation by New York Doctor. WASHINGTON. April 23 A re- markable surgical operation by which La Foul* Raymond, 22 years old. the son of Dr. J. U. Raymond, of Wash ington, is recovering the use of a withered left hand, has been per formed by Dr. Robert H. M. Daw- harn. of 105 West Seventy-fourth Street. New York. “My son burned his hands in in fancy," said his father, describing the operation. “The right hand fully re covered its usefulness, but the left was badly deformed, with all the fin gers evcept the index and middle ones seriously contracted. At three years an operation on the hand part ly restored its usefulness, but in time the contractions returned. Six oper ations brought no relief, as the palm of the hand and some of the tendons had been destroyed by the burning. Decide to Take Flap of Flesh. “Jt was finally determined that skin grafting could not. remedy the condi tion. Then it was decided that a ‘flap* of flesh from the body could be taken to form a new palm. “Dr. Dawbarn dissected the scar tissue from the palm and lingers and placed the thumb and fingers ip a natural position. The tendons were lengthened by inserting new tissues in tlie palm. Then a strip of flesh on the back, slightly above the hip, was raised, anti the hand was slip ped under it. This ‘flap' was sewed to the paint, after which the hand, arm and trunk were covered with a plaster of paris jacket. Carried Behind Back a Month. “In this way the hand was carried behind the hack for four weeks. Then the upper end of the flesh ‘flap’ was cut loose and stitched to the border of the hand. One week later the hand and ‘flap’ were released entirely from the hack and the ‘flap’ was fashioned to the hand. “The hand now remains open with out any tendency to contraction. The extension and flexion of the fingers and thumb are excellent, the grasp is strong, and the new palm is all right. The success of the opera tion is remarkable, and, moreover, the hand is daily improving In strength and usefulness. In a year there probably will be very little evi dence of the scars and irregularities.” Rye Bread and Skim Milk 9 Cents a Day Professor Finds That This Diet Helps to Solve High Cost of Living.

In his speech at the dinner of the George Washington University Law School, Vice President Marshall laid down rules for the moral and professional guidance of the young lawyer—legal ten commandments. Here they are in a condensed paraphrase: 1. Don't put n fee before a just cause. 2. Don't worship money to the ex tent of being willing to write a dis honest contract in order to get a large fee. 3. Be a peacemaker; that is the lawyer's business. 4. Don't chase ambulances. 5. Honor your profession as your own sacred honor: therefore: do not seek or confound litigation. (». Don’t accept contingent fees. 7. Use your influence against the system of allowing attorneys’ fees in advance of divorce cases. Therein lies the evil of the divorce laws; when that has been abolished half the di vorce cases will be stopped. 8. Use your influence to compel a person charged with crime to testify in the . iuse; the innocent man can not be harmed thereby. 9. Tak* the part of the known ci iminal, but only to see that justice is tempered with mercy. 10. Don’t inquire as to your client's pocket book before fixing your fee. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MALTA, April 23.—The fourteenth International Eucharist Congress was inaugurated to-day at Valetto, on the Island of Malta. The congress was opened with an address by Mgr. Hey- len. Bishop of Namur. Following tin.* address of Mgr. Heylen, a letter from the Maltese people to the Pope was read publicly to Cardinal Ferrata. The Cardinal in turn addressed tlie as semblage and Marquis Alfred Mattel spoke in the name of the Maltese peo ple Several other addresses followed and the business session closed with an explanation of the work of the congress by the Very Rev. Father Snmmut, S. J. The program for the following days of the congress is practically the same as that of to-day. The Island of Malta is particularly appropriate for the holding of the Eu charist Congress, for it has occupied a prominent part in the history of tlu* Catholic Church for centuries. It is said that St. Paul, the Apostle, was ship wrecked on the island with his captors, when on his way to Rome to be tried before the Roman tribunal. It was also on this little island that the Knights of St. John, the fore runners .of the present Knights* Tem plars, accomplished their greatest work. The city and island were held by the knights until the time of Napo leon. when they were conquered by the French. However, in 1814. with the aid of George III of England, the people of Malta succeeded in ridding themselves of both the French and the knights and gave their allegiance to the British crown and have since remained British subjects. Sonspicuous among the historical buildings is the Church of St. John, built In Valetta in 1573, under the rule of Grand Master Jean Levesque de la Cassiere. In this church are many notable works of art from the brushes of Caravaggio and Calebrese and many other painteVs. BONDS AUTHORIZED FOR TENNESSEE INTERURBAN CHATTANOOGA.
