Several of the Deputies protested
ngainst the action of the Chamber be-
r'ause of the affront It gives to the
1’nlted States Government, but they
vpre shouted down.
A committee was appointed to call
n General Huerta at the National
palace to-day and inform him of the
nation taken by the Chamber.
General Huerta is allowed to sell
Government property at bis own dis-
retion, as the result of the sweeping
, rh ileges conferred upon hirn.

electoral law calling for another Pres-
ientlal election next July, and grant
ed a concession to a British group of

banks and that it will be used for
the payment of the troops.

Child Welfare Experts Tell Why
Dyed Goodies Are Poisonous

■Ware that brightly-rolored Christ-

Not wishing to cast the slightest
shadow on the happiness of the chil

women in charge of the Child \\ el-
fare Show nevertheless were Impelled
to issue this solemn warning to the
fathers and mothers of Atlanta Fri
day.
Candy—if it is in judicious quanti
ties—is not the worst thing that can
be given to the little folks, the Child
Welfare experts will admit grudg
ingly.
But one must be sure that It does
not contain any of the poisonous col

warning home.
There are candles of the most bril
liant carmine, blue candies, green
candies, and candles of every color of
the rainbow. They are attractive. It
is no wonder they hypnotize the
youngsters.
But along with the candies are
pieces of cloth and whole garments
that have been dyed deeply with the
poisonous coloring matter taken from
small quantities of the candy. Coal
tar dyes, for the most part, are used
in the cheaper candies.
How Does It Look Inside?
• How do you suppose your chiid
looks on the inside after eating this
candy?” is one of the pertinent que
ries on one of the placards near a
can of green confections.
"Buy candy for the children, if you
wish," said one of the women Friday,
"but when you do so. he sure it Is of
high grade and is without deleterious
dyes It Is not unusual for children
to come to their death from the cheap,
highly-colored Christmas candies.”
The show will be turned over to the
colored population of Atlanta Friday.

free clinics and negro nurses will be
in charge. The "explainers" also will
