When the baby gains three pounds
in two weeks it’s because he’s so na
turally smart; when he doesn’t it’s
the milkman’s fault, proclaims the
New York Press.
A good reputation adds to a man’s
resources, the support of all who
know him, contends the American
Cultivator. But the man of ill repute
has few and poor Jielpers.
Growing children, says a writer on
household topics, require occasional
change. Yes, indeed, agrees the Louis
ville Courier-Journal. Some of them
require it faster than pa can earn it.
Recently the London Spectator, one
of the ablest and most Influential pub
lications in the world, made the fol
lowing remarkable assertion in its
leading editorial article: ‘‘Business
men, like politicians, at heart always
dislike the press; it is so often inter
feres with their plans and profits.”
The fact seems to be overlooked,
protests the Schenectady Gazette, that
It is not alone the violations which
cause damage that need severe pun
ishment. The thing to do is to prevent
such occurences, and to this end the
man who knowingly violates the speed
limit should be punished severely for
the sake of the example.
Farmers are in the main honest, as
sarts the Epitomist. They have
learned that nature cannot be cheat
ed, and the lesson leaves them in no
mood to cheat in any other direction
—except by putting little peaches in
the bottom. Only one farmer ever
went to thoHeWl, and that was for
putting in tne bot
tom of the box.
The disbarment of one big lawyer,
propounds the New York World, would
do more to purify the bar than the
conviction of a hundred ambulance
chasers. Were the distinguished bar
association to purge its own member
ship even to the extent of two or three,
the public effect would be many times
greater than if the whole Essex Mar
ket Bar association were to be dis
barred.
' The Christian Powers, opines the
Utica Press, may hope and pray that
the hotter day that is dawning in
Turkey may mean greater enlighten
ment and liberty, greater prosperity
and security for Turkish subjects of
every race and religion. In such reali

piness of these unfortunates. Europe

The Washington Star contends: We
need not wonder that men of sub
stance and activity—the very kind
most desirable for jury service to the
public—try to shirk. The duty calls for
a heay sacrifice —now in the matter
of money, now in that of health. A
business man must withdraw his eye
from his own affairs for weeks. This
counts against him, even if his subor
dinates are competent and faithful.
No eye can take the place of the mas
ter’s eye.
In its origin “anxious” has a note
of suffering in it, defines the New
York World. It comes from a classi
cal root meaning to cause pain, to
choke. It is a cousin of “anguish” or
“extreme pain.” It is closely related
to “angina pectoris,” which, Webster
informs us, is "an extremely painful
disease, so named from a sense of suf
focating contraction or tighting of
the lower part of the chest.” It may
be said of a man on the scatfold that
he is “anxious to live.” “Eager” is a
better word, even though the diction
aries give it as one of the synonyms
of anxious, even though Macaulay, in
one of his characteristic balanced sen
tences, gives the same value to both
words, as witness: He sneers alike at
those who are anxious to preserve and
at those who are eager for reform.
THE LEGISLATURE HAS ADJOURNED
Lawmakers Finish Labors and
Leave for Their Homes.
TO BE NO BIENNIAL SESSIONS
Many Important Bill* Were Not Reach
ed, the Compulsory Education Bill
Being Among Them.
WHAT LEGISLATURE DID;
THINGS LEFT UNDONE.
Among the most important ac
tions of the legislature were the
approval of the suspension of
Railroad Commissioner S. G. Mc-
Lendon, the passage of the em
ployers’ liability bill and the ap
propriation of $65,800 to buy ter
minal property for the state road
at Chattanooga. Other general
bills passed were those providing
for the election of county school
commissioners by the people, to
prohibit the use of trading
stamps, to create a state board
of osteopathy, to make Febru
ary 12 Georgia Bay, to allow fire
men, policemen and other city
employees to accept free trans
portation from street railway
companies. A resolution was
also passed providing for the ac
ceptance of a code prepared by
Judge John L. Hopkins of Atlan
ta, on the approval of a legisla
tive committee. Under the new
tax act, provision is made for the
taxing of near beer and a reso
lution was passed making avail
able the money derived from
taxes on near beer already in the
state treasury.
Among the measures which at
tracted great attention, but
which failed to get through -were
the biennial sessions bill, the
game law, the compulsory edu
cation bill and the service pen
sion bill.
Atlanta, Ga. —At midnight Wednes
day the first session of the general
assembly of 1909-1910 was officially
at an end, in accordance with the re
quirements of the state constitution,
which limits sessions to fifty days.
However, as usual, the session ran
on, and adjournment came at one
o'clock. The legislature never com
pletes its work is time to adjourn by
midnight of the last day of the ses
sion and tne present genera) assem
bly was not breaking precedent In
that respect.
Before midnight the usual scenes
of merriment began in both houses.
At times each stood adjourned wait
ing for the other. Moon sessions were
organized to help while away the time
and what some senators and represen
tatives appeared to consider music was
also introduced for the delectation of
the pariicipants. The throwing of pa
per wads, one of the invariable fea
tures of last nights in the legislature,
was introduced in the house even be
fore the near beer tax had been set
tled. Even the watchful eye of Speak
er Holder, who has proved one of the
best disciplinarians the house has
ever had in the chair, was not sharp
enough to prevent such outbursts of
playfulness.
The last two hours of the session
were spent in settling differences be
tween the houses on the general tax
act. The main fight came over the
near beer section, the house finally ac
ceptip.£ the substitute offered by the
senate.
After the near beer tax had been
settled, the main contention came over
the tax on soda fountain sirups, which
was finally placed at one-fourth of 1
per cent on gross receipts.
The session of the general assem
bly which has just closed will prob
ablv be remembered more for the
things it did not do than for the
things accomplished. While a great
many measures have been passed,
comparatively few of these are of
such a nature as to be of any tinusual
interest throughout the state.
The injection of the McLendon sus
pension and the near beer legislation
into the proceedings of the body ab
sorbed so much time that the mem
bers found themselves unable to enact
many measures of general interest for
which it is declared there were sub
stantial majorities.
The biennial sessions bill which
was passed by the senate was never
reached by the house, although its
friends assert positively that a ma
jority of the house favor the bill. The
same fate came to the bill for the
better protection of the game, which
was very strongly urged by the sports
men of the state. No definite action
was ever taken on the compulsory
education bill, for which a strong fight
was made by a number of organiza
tions.
Among the bills of general interest
which have succeeded in getting
through both houses are those to
make cousty school commissioners
elected by the‘people, to prohibit the
use of trading stamps; to create a
state board of osteopathy, and to
make February 12, Georgia Day.
The passage of resolutions sustain
ing the suspension cf Railroad Com
missioner S. G. McLendon came after
days of parliamentary maneuvering
and debate, which consumed the
greater part of the session.
In the senate much time was con
sumed in an effort to secure the pass
age of a resolution aprpoving an
amendment to the federal constitution
for an income tax. but the movement
was without success.
The general appropriation bill, as
finally passed by the house and sen
ate, carriea a total of $4,968,860 for
the year 1910, and an addition of $250,-
000 to that for the common school
fund for 1911. Special appropriations
carry the amount to considerably
over $5,000,000. The appropriation
for the Georgia Tech is increased from
$60,000 to $70,000. The School for the
Deaf gets $50,000 iinstead of $42,500.
Tills was an increase of $7,500 over
the amounts originaly recommended.
The Uni vers*' • of Georgia gets 837.-
500 instead ..f $32,500. The State
Normal School gets an increase from
$30,000 to $42,000. The State College
of Agriculture gets $60,000, of which
SIO,OOO is to be used for extension
work, which wil bring its benefits
closer to the people in their own
homes. There was no change in the
appropriation for the common schools
of the state. That ‘ appropriation re
mains at $2,250 for 1910 and $2,500,-
000 for 1911.
In view of the sensational charges
against the management of the Geor
gia State Sanitarium at Milledgeville,
contained in the official report of the
investigating committee recently giv
en out by Governor Brown, the house
passed a resolution by Mr. Henderson
of Irwin, calling for an investigation
by a joint committee of the general
assembly to further look into these
alleged irregularities. The senate
passed the resolution without debate,
thus making investigation sure. Fol
lowing the action of the house and
senate in passing the resolution for
a legislative investigation of the state
sanitarium for the insane at Milledge
ville, the following committee was
named by President Slaton and by
Speaker Holder: /Senators McLean,
Longley, Conley and Griffith; Repre
. entatives Henderson of Irwin, McCro
ry of Schley, Brown of Fulton, Cars
well of Wiikinson, Tuggle of Troup,
Baker of Lumpkin and Brown of Mur
ray.
Taxes on the manufacture and sale
of near beer in Georgia are to be lev
ied for the next two years in accord
ance with the Price substitute for the
Alexander section of the general tax
act. The Price substitute, which, undei
the action of house, becomes tne i
for near beer taxes, provides a tax of
SI,OOO on manufacturers and S3OO on
retailers of near beer. It also con
tains stringent regulations, the most
important of which is that no near
beer shall be sold except in towns
of over 2,500 inhabitants.
It was finally agreed by both bouses
to fix the tax on all soda fountain
sirups at one-fourth of one per cent
on gross receipts. This was consider
ed a victory by both sides, by one be
cause it was a material reduction ip
the tax,! and by thgjother because At
is claimed it the principle
of a gross receipt tax.
The senate, by a vote of 35 to 0,
passed the employers’ liability Dill by
Mr. White of Screven, just as it came
from the house. The bill gives em
ployees engaged in hazardous occu
pations the right to recover for injury
and relatives the right to recover for
such employees’ death, even in cases
where they are guilty of contributory
negligence, provided they exercise oi
4inary care.
The bill to increase the governor’s
staff from thirty to fifty, as fixed by
the senate, was tabled.
The senate passed without opposi
tion the bill by Mr. Upshaw of Doug
las, already passed by the house, pro
viding that where a confederate vet
eran drawing a pension, dies after
such pension has accrued or become
due and before payment is made by
the state, such pension shall be paid
by the pension commissioner to the
widow of said deceased veteran. An
amendment by Senator Cates, provid
ing for payment of pensions to widows
in similar cases of death pirior to the
passage of the bill, w’as adopted by
the senate.
The senate concurred in the house
amendment to the joint resolution pro
viding for the appointment of a com
mission to investigate and report a
bill to revise and amend the tax laws
of the state. The senate further
amended the resolution so as to pro
vide for payment of per diems and
expenses of the members
The senate passed the house bill
by Mr. Johnston of Batrow, which for
feits the license and right to do busi
ness in the state of any foreign in
surance company which removes a
suit brought against it in the state
courts to the United States courts.
The bill was amended so as not to in
terfere with suits which may be
brought by the insurance companies
to protect their loan contracts or oth
er debts due them in Georgia.
The senate, by a vote of 24 to 1,
concurred in the house amendment
providing for election of county school
commissioners by the people. The
amendment is such as to require all
those who wish to become candidates
to stand the prescribed examination.
The original senate bill exempted from
examination those with diplomas and
certificates from higher educational
institutions.
The senate passed, by a vote of 32
to 3, the house resolution by Mr. Al
exander of DeKalb, appropriating $65,-
800 for the purchase of approximately
87 1-2 acres of land near the city
of Chattanooga, Tenn., to be used as
terminal property for the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, belonging to
the state.
Both house and senate pas-.-rd 1 V ’
bill to buy the code for the state of
Georgia, offered by Judge John L.
Hopkins. It was agreed that thd
state should pay $6,000 for this code,
provided that after an examination by
a commission the code should be
found satiaSactory.
A V/lde Difference
A long-winded, prosy counselor was
arguing a technical case recently be
fore one of the Judges of the Superior
Court. He had drifted along in soch
a desultory way that it was 'hard to
keep track c<f w-hat he was trying to
present, and the Judge hard just vent
ed a very suggestive yawn.
”1 sincerely trust that I am not
unduly trepassing on the tlm-e of this
court," said the lawyer, -with a sus
picion of sarcasm in his voioe.
"There is some difference, the
Judge quietly observed, “between
trespassing on time and encroaching
on eternity.”—New York Times. __
Considerate.
Four old Scotchmen, the remnant
of a club formed some fifty years
ego, were seated round the table in
the chib roam. It was 5 a. m., and
Dougal looked across at Donald and
said In a thick, sleepy voice:
“Donald, d’ye notice what an a-wfu’
peculiar expression there is on Jock s
face?”
“Aye,” eayß Donald, “I notice that;
he’s deead! He’s been deead these
tour hours.”
“What? Defad! Why did ye no tell
me ”
“Ah, no—no —no,” said Donald,
“A’m no that kind o’ man to disturb
a convivial evening.”—Tit-Bits.
TO KEEP EGGS FRESH.
CTmple Method of Preserving Them
for at Least Eight Months.
Fre&h eggs in cold storage at 34
degrees Fahrenheit undergo little it
any change, for this temperature is
sufficient to limit the activities and
prevent the growth of the more com
mon bacteria.
The problem of preserving eggs by
excluding air has brought forth num
erous methods. Acording to Ameri
can Medicine, German investigators
several years ago conducted a series
of tests, keeping the eggs for about
eight months in some twenty differ
ent ways, and found that
Immersed in brine, all were unfit
for us.
Wrapped In paper, 80 per cent. bad.
Packed in bran or coated with par
affine, 70 ipe.r cent. bad.
dmmersed in sol. salicylic acid, 60
per cent. toad.
Coated with shellac or collodion,
40 per cent. bad.
Packed in wood ashes, 20 peT cent,
toad.
Coated with vaseline or immersed
In a solution of water glass or lime
water, none toad.
From theee experiments, as well as
many others. It has toeen found that
a solution of water glass offers about
the best method of preserving eggs,
aside from cold storage. Water
glass is the common name for potas
sium or sodium silicate, and is ob
tained In the shops in the form of a
thiok liquid something like glycerine.
One part of this to nine of sterile
water ma-feea a preserving fluid of the
prooer strength.
The eggs should be packed in a
clean, sweet vessel, and the solution
poured over tlngn until thtoy are well
covered. Preserved in this way In
a cool place, they will keep for
months and often cannot be distin
guished In appearance from the fresh
article. It Is generally conceded that
they lack the flavor of new laid
eggs, tout are In no way inferior In
nutritive value.
BAD DREAMS
Caused by Coffee.
“I have been a coffee drinker, more
or less, ever Bines I can remember,
until a few months ago I became
more and more nervous and irritable,
and finally I could not sleep at night,
for I was horribly disturbed by
dreams of all sorts and a species of
distressing nightmare,
f “Finally, after hearing the exper
ience of numbers of friends who had
quit coffee and were drinking Pos
tum, and learning of the great bon-i
eflts they had derived, I concluded
coffee must be the cause of my trou
ble, so I got some Postum and had it
made strictly according to directions.
“I was astonished at the flavour:
and taste. It entirely took the place
of coffee, and to my very great satis
faction I began to sleep peacefully
and enwetly. My nerves improved,
and I wish I could wean every man,
woman and child from the unwhole
some drug—ordinary coffee.
“People really do not appreciate or
realize what a powerful drug it is and
what terrible effect it has on the hu
man system. If they did, hardly a
pound of It would be sold. I would
never think of going back to coffee
again. I would almost as soon think
of putting my hand in a Are alter I
had once been burned.
“A young lady friend of ours had
stomach trouble for a long time, and
could net get well as long as she
used coffee. She finally quit coffes
and began the use of Postum, and is
now perfectly well. Yours for
health."

If you think you have a natural de
tective instinct, if you are fond of
ferreting' out mysteries which have
puzzled every one else, if you don't
always believe in circumstantial evi
dence, if, in short, you are inteiested
in the motive rather than the act, you
can become lost to the world in read

did the miscreant mistake the rich

and one other. Perhaps you can solve
the puzzle. Real mysteries are rare
