Members of Old Guard Say Cum

WASHINGTON. May ». Old line
Republicans to-day expressed in
strong terms their antagonism to tlie
Independent action of Senator Cum
mins «»f Iowa and other members of
the progressive wing of that party
t in calling a conference in Chicago to
morrow. They declined to approve
the plan and declared that the Cum
mins contingent was laying the party
open to another split.
Senator Galhnger of New Hamp
shire, minority leader of the Senate,
said:
l I think the Curmnins conference is
premature, and when the time comes
to recognize the Republican party I
shall certainly follow the men who
made the party rather than those who
helped to wreck it.”
Senator Smoot of Ctah declared
‘that neither Senator Cummins nor
'*ny other Progressive ran reorganize
tne Republican party.”
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin
was of the opinion that the Cummins
conference presaged another party
split. 'They wrecked the party,” he
said bitterly, ‘‘and now they are try
ing to damn' it.”
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
said that it would be better to post
pone the Cummins conference now
and to hold it later under the regu
lar Republican banner.
In the House the old line Repub
licans, from Minority Header Mann to
- the latest incumbent of office, viewed
the conference with disapproval.

Recreation Congress Speaker De
clares Vigorous Games Are
Character Developers.
RICHMOND, VA„ May 9.-Too
much distinction is made between
boys and girls. In their play. Their
work and their educational training.
This was the text of an address by
Mrs. Charles T. Weller, of Lawrence,
Kansas, at the morning session of
the Recreation Congress.
"Many people begin, in his baby
hood, to train the boy away from
the gentler side of life by taking
away his doll. Later they teach
him that certain home duties belong
to the girl; and since the boy's work
—such as cutting wood and drawing
water—no longer has a place in the
city household, he grows up without
sense of responsibility and devotion
toward his own home when he has
one.
“The girl, on the other hand, is
constantly repressed and. because her
faults are not dramatic like those of
her brother, her elder-! fail to realize
that she needs broad training to free
her from the narrowness and petti
ness of women, which has been the
jest of the ages.
"Vigorous sports, especially games,
are found to develop just those char
acteristics in which women are lack
ing.
"Let the girls play hard sometimes
and forget themselves. Quieter sport
—music, literature, art—have their
very important place for the girl; and
quite as much for the boy. For wdth
tins all-round training each may be
gentle and each may be strong w'hen
occasion demands it; and together
they may round out a fuller, more
wholesome life for the race.

Repairing of Dolls
Quite a Business.
"Dolls Repaired Quickly and Cheap
ly."
That sign prominently displayed at
a point on Peachtree Street, by whi:h
thousands of people pass daily, Is one
likely to attract the attention of little
folks—girls, of course—whose dollies
are in need of such necessaries is
eyes, hair, hands and feet.
"You'd be surprised." said the old
gentleman who answers whpn anyor >
makes inquiry concerning tha. sign,
“the number of dolls that we repair
every day. M.v whole family is en
gaged in the business. It is a queer
thing about child nature, but girls-
the little ones, you know—become so
attached to their dolls that when they
wear out the children are almost in
consolable. They like a new doll, of
course, but nothing can take the placa
of the old one in their childish affec
tions. That's where our business
comes in. We take the old doll, put
new feet and hands on it, insert an
eye if one is needed and. In fact, li*
Miss Dollie up so that she looks like u
new one. But to its little 'mother' it
is still the same old Polly Hopkins,
or Susan or Mary, as the case may he.
It reallv does my heart good to see the
little folks when their mothers bring
them to my place to get the 1 ejuve ■
nated dollie. They eo into raptures
over the made-over toy, and their
outbursts are evidences of genuine
affection. 'Mother-love.’ I suppose vdu
newspaper fellows call it."
How Window Dressers
Keep Track of Pins.
•Tli bet,” said one of two men who
had paused before the display window
of a Whitehall Street department
store while the window dresser was at
work “that it was a woman who in
vented the thing that chap has fas
tened to his left arm."
His attention having been called 10
it, the other man took a squint at the
object. It was a pincushion about
three inches square fastened to a
wide elastic band—like a garter—
which was passed around the arm just
above the elbow. The cushion was
filled with all sorts of pins—small
ones and large ones: some plain and j
some black.
As lie worked, arranging pieces cifj
cloth here and there to give the d?-|
sired fold effect, the dresser had occa
sion to use countless pins. They were j
always right at his hand.
"When I was a young man," re
marked one of the oplookers, "1 used
to dress windows and T carried a
mouthful of pins all the time. The
danger of swallowing them, however,
was great, and I never cared mu?h
for the job. This fellow has the prob
lem solved, but if he's married. I’ll bet
his vlife invented it. No mere man
would ever think of that pincushion
affair."
The Story of Two Boys
And What They Have Done.
"T was reading in The Georgian the
other day,” said the doctor, “when iti.v
attention was attracted by an article
concerning some bequests made to
education by Mrs'. G. P. Dodd. In
stantly I remembered two young fel
lows who used to live in Atlanta an.l |
with whom 1 attended the Boys’ High |
School. They were Phil and Earl j
Ackerman, sons of Mrs. Fannie Ack- i
erman, who was a sister of Mrs. Dod 1,4
and to whom Mrs. Dodd left a be
quest. The Ackerman boys lived wLhil
their uncle on Whitehall Street
tween Cooper and Windsor. Both were
real geniuses, and both were en
amored of the stage—not as actors
mind you, but a9 managers and pro
ducers. In the basement <of the Do 1.1
home they had fitted up a scenic stu
dio and there in 1891 they built the
scenery for ‘Xouia, or the Fairy
Queen.' a spectacular play which they
presented at Concordia Hall, then on
Marietta Street.
“The cast was made up of local
young folks and the play was put on
in admirable style. There was no end
of trick scenery, all designed, built
■tnd painted by the Ackerman boys.
Phil played the part of an Irishman,
Earl was a ‘demon’ and the part of i
clown was played by Cliff Saul, broth
er of Milt Raul, who is publicity man
ager for the Georgia Railway and
Power Company. Another member of
the company was Henry Franklin,
now a staid Atlanta business man,
an officer of a big hardware concern.
Artisticaly. ‘Xonia’ was a success. I
am not certain about its financial sue..
•'Sum after this Mrs. Ackerman an I
her sons removed to New York, and j
the boys evidently kept in touch with I
things theatrical, because ‘Bob’ Good- j
man, another Atlanta boy who h-is I
risen to heights in stage affairs, to!d I
mo not long ago that Phil and Earl |
Ackerman are the owners of one of'
the largest secnic studios in Brook- j
iyn.”
U
Kirk Declares Statement That He
Made Raided House His
Headquarters Is False.
Policeman James Kirk, a member
of Chief Beavers' “vice squad,” Fri
day morning emphatically denied the
charges of improper conduct made
against him by Mrs. N. P. Powell.
Mrs. Lena Bernard and Mrs. John
Bryant, whom Kirk, with a squad of
police, arrested last week on a charge
of running a disorderly house at 95
spring Street.
“The charges have no foundation."
he said. '1 went to Mrs. Powell and
hut' husband, and tola them if they
didn’t get rid of the women they had
staying there and shut up their place,
v c would arrest them. Both the wom
an and Powell told me they would
tiiakv ine women leavv anu quit run
ning* the kind of a house that Chief
Leavers has ordered out of the city.
We watched the place for several
nights, and saw from five to fifteen
men going in and out of the place
every night.
“When we saw that they continued
to run the house we raided them.
There were four men there at the
time, but they escaped by Jumping
out of the windows. The women have
been held to the Grand Jury.
“The statement that l made the
place my headquarters is a falsehood,
pure and simple. Mrs. Powell. Mrs.
Bernard and Mrs. Bryant are known
to the police. They have been ar
rested numerous times.”
The hearing of the injunction
which Mrs. Powell, through her at
torneys. Gober & Jackson, got from
Judge Bell to restrain the police from
evicting her, will be held Saturday
morning.

Are You Subject
To Constipation
Here is a Simple Way of Cor
recting It Instantly Before
It Becomes Chronic
j Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salt mineral
waters, pills and similar things.
They have temporary value in some
cases, it is true, but the good ef
fect la soon lo9t, and the more one
takes of them the less effective
they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and
more permanent results can be ob
tained by using a scientific remedy
like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin.
It does not hide behind a high
sounding name, but is what it is
represented to be, a mild laxative
medicine. It is so mild that thou
sands of mothers give It to tiny
infants, and yet it is so compound
ed, and contains such definite in
gredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic
constipation. In fact, among the
greatest indorsers of Syrup Pep
sin are elderly people who have
suffered for years and found noth
ing to benefit them until they took
Syr#p Pepsin.
it Is a fact that millions of fam
ilies have Syrup Pepsin constant
ly in the house, homes like those
of Mrs. G. B. Pruitt, Berea, Ky.,
who used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin as a laxative tonic. Mrs.
Pruitt writes that it so strength
ened and cleansed her system that
she was quickly relieved of a severe
cough which had troubled her for
months. The special value of this
MRS. G. B. PRUITT,
grand laxative tonic is that it is
suited to the needs of every mem
ber of the family. It is pleasant
tasting, mild and non-griping. Un
like harsh physics, it works grad
ually and in a very t brief time the
stomach and bowel muscles'" are
trained to do their work naturally
again, when all medicines can be
dispensed with. •
You can obtain a bottle at any
drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar. The latter size is usually
bought by families who already
know its value. Results are always
guaranteed or money will be re
funded.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make a personal trial
of it before buying it in the reg
ular way of a druggist, send your
address—a postal will do—to Dr.
W. B. CalAwell, 417 Washington St.,
Monticello. Ill., and a free sample
bottle will be mailed you.
