1 4 HKAKST’S SUNDAY AMMH'AW, ATIjAMTA, HA., SUNDAY, Al GUST 17, 1»13. 9 A * Georgia Association Encouraged Over Bill Providing for Adult Probation. SCANS LEGISLATURE’S WORK act Establishing Home for Way ward Girls Comes In for Praise. Now that the Legislature has ad journed and the bills passed have been submitted to Governor Slaton for signature, the'Georgia Prison Asso ciation has figured out definitely Just how much was accomplished in the way of reforming Georgia s criminal procedure by this year’s Legislature. The -bill which will have more ef fect than any is the one providing for adult probation and suspension of sentence in misdemeanor eases. This will become effective in every Criminal Court in Georgia as soon as Governor Slaton signs it. The oper ations of the law are exceedingly simple and are thoroughly safeguard ed, to prtvent the habitual criminal benefiting from them. They provide that in first offenses and other cases where there are suf ficiently mitigating circumstances, the adult convicted of misdemeanor may be freed on probation to report back to the court or probation officer at stated times. This means, for in stance, that a- man convicted of de serting his • wife can be sentenced, and instead ;of being put on chain- gang work, where he will do no good to his family, can be sent back home and forced to work for his family un der court .supervision. All Judges Approve Law. This measure received the endorse ment of practically every Criminal Court Judge! n Georgia, and of the Prison Board. It applies not Su perior Courts alone, but in all courts in which misdemeanor cases are tried The second reform measure passed is the blil- establishing a home for wayward girls in Georgia, and pro viding $20,000 toward its establish ment. At present Georgia has no re formatory to which it may send its wayward girls. It has the alternative of sending them to the prison farm with hardened offenders, or having them sent to institutions outside of Georgia. Under the pew law Governor Sla ton will appoint a board of five mem hers of whom' two will be women, to put the work of establishing this home immediately under way. One of their first duties will be to select a sfte.^' Sites Have Been Offered. The bill provides that if no site is given the home shall be established at Milledgeville. but already two or three tentative offers of a site have been made- and there is no likeli hood of it being necessary to put the new home at Milledgeville, a location which..!he friends of Ihe measure, be lieve would- be ill-advised. These are the only 'two measures which were passed a. :.his session, but one other notable thing was accom- )li*hed. A. .bill w as flamed providing ’or indeterminate sentences. It re ceived the formal indorsement of the Prison Board. Was parsed by the Senate and recommended for passage by the'House committee. It has no opposition and is in such shape that it will almost certainly be one of the first general measure a to pass the 1914 session The Prison-Association of Georgia, which framed the original measures, and the association’s friends in the Legislature, were largely responsible for the enactment of these measures.

The new rates affect only the local, 1 first and second zones.

Could Hardl) Sleep for Burning and Itching, Caused Disfigurement. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Entirely Cured, 214 Brevard St., Tarapa, Fla.—"Some three years ago I commenced to suffer from a rash on my face and back. Before the pimples came on my face there were a lot of black heads. It looked as if the blackheads turned into pim ples because after a little while all of them were gone and my face was covered with \ pimples. They were small at first but gradually grew and right at the end of each pirn pit it was all white. I carelessly picked them with my finger nails, which made them spread, and I soon discovered them on my back. My back was covered with pimples and my face the same way. At night I could hardly sleep on account of the burn ing and itching sensation they caused. I felt like a lot of small-sized crabs biting at my back. I did not like to go out because the pimples caused disfigurement. “Seeing the advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment in one of the magazines I sent for a sample. At night I would put the Cuticura Ointment on my face and back and I was pleased with the result. I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and 1 am glad to be able to say that I am entirely cured of pimples.” (Signed) Jno. O. Dar lington, Jan. 25, 1913.
