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.

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.

"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.

They have been ar rested numerous times.” The hearing of the injunction which Mrs. Powell, through her at torneys.

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.
