WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—In com
pliance with the request of Mrs. Luls
d'Antin, widow of the former Ameri
can diplomat whose recent death iln
Mexico was surrounded with circum
stantial evidence pointing to foul
play, the State Department today
started an offictal inquiry.
State Department agents in Mexico
City and San Luis Potosi were wired
instructions to collect all evidence
possible and forward it as fast as
possible to the United States.
One of the most suspicious circum
stances surrounding the case is that
some official of the Carranza regime
requested that Dr. d'Antin accompa
ny Mr, Arredondo to Mexico. He
served here principally as an Inter
preter when it was necessary for Eli
seo Arredondo, former Ambassador '
Designate of Mexico in Washington,
to deal verbally with Secretary Lan
sing or other State Department ofi
clals,
. State Department officials did not
‘share the feeling expressed today by
Mrs. d'Antin, in New York, that pos
sibly her husband had not yet been
killed. The latest animosity toward
d’Antin by Mexicans, it was said here
today, probably was due to the erro
neous impression that he had ne
formed the American press when Mr
Arredondo was to de withiérawn
While proving to bde true Mr Arre.
dondo saw fit at the time to mee: the
published reports with a food of de
nials.

Picket
(By International News Bervice.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—President
Wilson won the first two rounds today
in the battle waged against him by
the “silent sentinels” who are picket
ing the White House in an effort to
change his views on natlon-wide suf
frage. He slipped out of the executive
mansion grounds in an automobile
before the pickets, in squads of four,
were on duty, and upon his return
flashed by the sentinels before they
recognized him. He did not even
glance at the banners they bore,
which carried this device:
“Mr. President, what are you going
to do for woman suffrage?”
The squads of pickets, divided into
groups of four, took positions at each
entrance to the White House. They
were to be followed after three hours
on duty by another squad of twelve,
'who in turn were to serve three hours.
' The pickets were on duty with pos
itive instructions from the leaders to
remain silent in their patrol work.
The first squad on duty consisted of
Mrs. B. H. Papandre, of San Fran
cisco; Misses Gertrude and Augusta
Crooker, of Chicago; Miss Vivian
Plerce and Miss Mildred Gilbert, of
California; Miss Bertha Croues, of
Colorado, all of whom are registered
voters. The remaining women, who
are nonvoters, were Misses Mary Fen
dell, of Baltimore; Elizabeth Smith
and Winifred Francis, of Washing

This information came today from
District Attorney Rotan, who sald it
was the gist of a letter received from
a man well known in the city as a

District Attorney . Rotan couldn’t
remember who the writer of the let

borne by the writer.
Coming as a climax of a long se

You're Talking Through A
Megaphone When You Use A
Georgian-American Want Ad
In a certain Eastern town where there is no
daily newspaper to supply the means for advertising
for Kelp, a man with a megaphone is sent about the
town calling the number of men wanted and the name
of the empfoyer needing them.
In Atlanta, a Georgian-American Want Ad
is 2 megaphone which reaches the listening ears of
thousands upon thousands of responsive ple more
effectively than a man could reach figey? It's the
modern method for making your wants known and
getting them filled promptly and properly.
No matter what it is—whether you want to
buy a horse or sell one, to rent an apartment or pur
chase a house to give or to get employment, to find a
capable dressmaker or rent a room, to buy a good used
automobile, a piano or office and store fixtures, to in
vest money in a reliable business opportunity or to
find a partner—you can reach the ears of the right peo
ple through The Georgian-American.
If you have a want to be supplied now, take
advantage of the big op rtunity which the great Sun
day circulation of 'l‘he K?nerican offers you, and put
your want where it will reach practically every worth
while person in Atlanta.
Leave your ad with the main office, 20 East
Alabama Street, or telephone it to Main 100 or At
lanta Main 8000, with instructions to run it three or
more times beginning with tomorrow’s issue.

We Eat Too Much Meat, Which

the Back Hurts.
Most folks forget that the kid

and clogged and need a flushing
occasionally, else we have back
ache and dull misery in the kidney
region, severe headaches, rheu
matic twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys actlve and clean, and the
moment you feel an ache or ga.in
in the kidney region, get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
good drug store here, take a table
spoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and i{s harm
less to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to normal activity.
It also neutralizes the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpen
sive; makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink which
everybody should take now and
then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complica

A well-known local druggist
says he sells lots of Jad Salts to
