a Help Your Baby
Fight the
Summer Heat
TT isn’t the heat—it’s the food
that takes our babies from
us in summer. More babies
die from summer complaint
than any other single thing,
and summer complaint comes
1 times one cow in three, even in
jreat state as New York, is con
re. At all times your babies can
get consumption trom such cow’s milk. This is bad
enough in winter. In the summer all this is worse because
your baby cannot fight the heat and dangers, too.
If your baby has just the rijght food, his summer days will he sunny
and his nights just smiling sleep. If you can’t mirse your baby give him
Nestles Fooci
the light food that can take the place
of mother's milk because it gives
the baby the same body-building as
mother’s milk itself.
NESTLft’S Food is made from
the purified milk of inspected cows
in sanitary dairies. To it are added
the things your baby needs and that
are not in cow’s milk. It comes to
you in a dry powder. The addition
of cold water and one minute’s boil
ing makes it ready for the baby a
safe, well-balanced food on which
babies have thrived for three gen
erations.

Eye Glasses Should Go
Says New York Physician
Here Is His Free Prescription.
"Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care Is
necessary. The eyes of old and young
should be properly bathed night and
morning. This is more important than
cleansing teeth.’’ says he and then he
goes on to say:
"The following treatment is worthy of
fullest confidence. It Is scientific. Im
mediately effective and positively harm
less to the weakest of eyes. Go to any
drug store, get a tube of Optona tablets,
dissolve one in a two-ounce bottle of
pore water and bathe the eyes two to
four times dally. What Is generally
known as eye strain will soon be banish
ed while the muscles and nerves are
permitted to perform th*ir normal func
tions. It helps diseased eyes and It
keeps good eyes healthy; tt is absolutely
harmless in every way; docs not smart
or burn has a wonderful effect on gran
ulated lids and Is especially recommend
ed for dull, bleary or glassy eyes. It
helps all eves and should ho In every
home for use in emergency."
The following extracts are from letters
received from users of this prescription:
"I used Optona one week for a cold
tn my pyes; It did me a great deal
of good."
"My eyes have been falling for
years. I am sure Optona Is doing
them good and shall continue its
use.”
"Have only been using Optona a
short time. My eyes are improv.ng
wonderfully."
"I find Optona very satisfactory
end recommend It wherever I find an
opportunity. I find It very sooth
ing.”
•‘l’ve been benefited by Optopi and
Intend to follow the treatment."
• Have been using Optona for about
three months and tt has greatly Im

”Mv eye* have been sore for sev

IN EXPLOSION
Riverside Mill Scene of Disas
trous Accident This Morning.
Furnace Explodes Severely
Injuring Hugh Seymour.
A negro named Hugh Seymour,
working at tile Riverside Mill, waft
severely injured this morning by an
explosion which occurred at about
11:50 o’clock.
lie was standing beside a sort of
furnace which is used to burn the
cotton off second-hand bale-ties when
the explosion occurred. His log wart
crushed and he was seriously shaken
up by the concussion.
The furnace is, or rather was, a
square piece of masonry with a con
crete top, about six or eight, feet
square by ten high. Iron trucks were
run into this, loaded with ties, and
a 300-pound sheet iron door let down
behind them.
The heat was applied by ignited
kerosene spray, forced into the place
liy compressed air, which raised the
interior to red heat, burning off all
cotton and trash trom tlie ties.
Hugh Seymour was manipulating
the machine, letting on the kerosene
spray, when the whole tiling exploded.
Tile force was so great that it blew
tlie 300-pound iron door through tile
air and hurled It against a building
twenty-five yards away. The door
struck the building at a point thirty
or forty feet above the ground, making
a great dent in the corrugated iron
side.
Tlie walls of (he furnace Itself were
demolished. Tlie negro was cuught
under the masonry which fell on ids
side. To give an idea of the strength
of the explosion, one of the 16-inch
thick brick sides of the furnace was
shlftect bodily over to one side about
18 inches, where it was stopped by
the side of a warehouse.
Workers in the mill stated to tlie
reporters that they thought tlie explo
sion was a dynamite blast. It shook
the mill, they said, like an earth
quake. '
The Injured man was taken to the
Lamar Hospital, which, at this time,
is unable to report on Ills condition.
EXTERMINATION

6 Months to Exterminate
40,000.
New Orleans.—The bubonic plague
situation in New Orleans today was
practically unchanged. No new cases
had developed and Dr. Rupert Blue,
surgeon general of the public health
service, who took full charge today Of
the eradication work, declured there
was no cause for alarm.
The surgeon general estimated the
rat population of New Orleans at four
hundred thousand. To exterminate
these a minimum of six months will
be required.
Dr. Blue expects to leave here the
latter part of this week. Dr. Wm. C
Rucker, assistant surgeon general, who
is expected to arrive tomorrow, will
be in active charge of the work.

called attention to the presence of
bubonic plague in New Orleans and
declared that while there was no im
mediate prospect of an epidemic in
Charleston there was a possibility
of the disease reaching here through
rats on river boats. Many rat-hunt
ing parties are being organized
throughout the city.
IFSMILY OF FOUR
XIFFFD WITH AX
Chicago.—A family of four was
wiped out by blows from an axe in
their home in the German settlement
of Blue Island, a suburb, last night.
*fhe victims were .laeoli Nesla, a
German laborer, aged 72: his wife,
their daughter, Mrs. Martha Mans- ;
field, 22, and the latter's two-year-old
daughter. The stiffened bodies and
tlie blood-stained axe alone remained
to outline tlie story when the crime
was discovered by neighbors.
Tlie young mother of tlie infant had
been living away from her husband
for some time and efforts to find him
were begun. There was nothing in
the house to show his name.
The murderer, according to Benja
min Nnirseh, chief of jolice of Blue
lijjand, proceeded witli great delibera
tions. Each swing of the axe appar
ently carried death with it—death
without even a groan to arouse others
sleeping in the house. Each of tlie ]
slain was struck in the head.
Nesla slept in a front bedroom
on the first floor of the little frame
dwelling, in the attic the two women
ami the infant had their beds. Tlie
axe was round near these beds. Noth
ing was taken from the house.
The crime was discovered by Jacob
Nesla, Jr„ a son of the old couple,
living in another part of Bine island.
He said that his sister's husband's
name was Hamilton. Hamilton, ho
said, left her a year ago.
Photo Finger Prints.
Bloody linger prints on the axe hnn
dlc were photographed. Search was
Instituted for Win. Mansfield, husband
of Martha, who is alleged to have de
serted her a year ago, and for
Michael Cherewinki. The latter was
compelled to vacate the Nesla
house three weeks ago by the land
lord in order to make way for the ten
ants. He is said to have uttered
threats against the landlord and Nesla.
Twenty-nino persons have been
mysteriously murdered in the last
three years in Misostirl, Kansas, Colo
rado, lowa and Illinois by axe blows.
The details of almost all of the mur
ders are similar and in most of the
cases the murderer's axe lias wiped
out entire families. The crimes were
committed at night while the victims
lay asleep. In each Instance the mur
derer left tint slight elues. A list 0/

A MAN WHO DOES THINGS
There are no live issues which would
warrant a strong factional alignment
at this time. On the other hand, there
are strong and important reasons why
Senator lloke Smith should not he
recalled He is a man who "does
things." Ills work in the United
States senate commends itself to ’ill
right-thinking men. He is a states
man of exceptional ability, with a na
tional reputation for meritorious per
formance. By his long connection
with the national government, as sec
retary of the interior under a former
president and as United States sena
tor, lie Is in a position to he of serv
ice to his state to a. far greater de
gree than a new man who would have
to "learn the ropes" before he could
hope to represent Georgia as effective
ly as he should. What good reason
could the voters of this state find to
justify them in removing Senator
Smith? To illustrate plainly: If a hus
lne*ss concern has in its employ a
thoroughly efficient and faithful em
ploye, one who l.s loyal to the con
cern’s Interests, and working Intelll
gently and continuously therefor,
would that business establishment dis
play such a lack of good business
sense as to do away with this capable
employe and install as his successor
:i man who is not as well pqulpped
lor the position in every way? The
answer will suggest itself to the hum
blest man.
