Our Only Enemy
The Blood, Loaded with De
structive Germs is Cause
of Most Disease
While most of us are worrying about
the destructive pests in material life,
It would be well to consider the effect
of germs within us. People generally
realize the necessity of keeping the
blood pure. And those who have ueed
S. 8. S., our famous native blood medi
cine, speak from experience.
Our usual daily food ration is often
the cause of thick, sluggish blood that
becomes loaded with destructive germe.
These cause pellagra, malaria, blood
risings, anemia, scrofulous sores, boils,
carbuncles and many skin diseases.
And U is generally known throughout
the South that the one, genuine, speckle
antidotal remedy for all conditions of
Impure blood Is 8. 8. KT It Is prepared
from nature’s own materials, not an
ounce of drugs being used. And yet It
is more potent, more powerful, mors
searching and more productive of re
storative results than from the most
active of all the minerals employed
In medicine.
Its action by elimination of the
irritating poisons that Infect the
blood, is one of tho very Important
things to know.
You can get 8. 8. 8. at any drug
store, but take no other so-called blood
purifier.
S S. 8. Is prepared by The Swift
Specific Co.. 0-12. Swift Bldg.. Atlanta,
Ga.. and If you have any deep-seated
ut, obstinate blood trouble, write to
their Medical Dept, for free advice. It
will be worth your while to do so.

Perm Van, N. Y. John B. framer, president of the board of educa
tion, had a fine flock of chicken* he wanted to sell. He was told by a
prospective purchaser, who looked at some of the eggs, that they were not
white enough for the New York market to which he was shipping.
A friend advised him that small doses of peroxide of hydrogen fed In
water or mash would old his hens to produce eggs of the proper degree of
whiteness. He tried the experiment anil the eggs grew whiter, but not
fast enough to suit him. He then increased the doses hut Ills hens soon
stopped laying eggs of any color, and a week ago on* of them died. Today
all that was left of his flock wne one old rooster.
BECKER SAYS “A LONG
LANE WITH NO TURN”
(Continued from page 'one.)
Becker. If he eventually goes free,
will *eek re-instatement on the police
lorce. *
District Attorney Whitman, who
will determine whether Becker shall
he tried again, has thus far refused
to *ay what further action he will
take. It 1* known however that Mr.
Whitman believes a second trial
would be futile In the face of the
court of appcnla decision.
Sam Schepps.
That, In effect, stamps "Sam"
Schepps. one of the principal state
witnesses as an accomplice in the
murder plot which “Jack" Itose,
“Bridgie” Webber, and “Harry" Val
lon confessed, implicating Becker..
The decision, it is pointed out, also
leaves the district attorney in an em
barrassing position with reference to
Rose, Webber and Vallon who might
under eertaln circumstances of a new
trial be held and tried for the murder
of Rosenthal.
When Informed of the court’s action
Becker's first thought was of his
wife, whose loyalty to him has never
waned. He asked that she be noti
fied. I.ater he met newspaper men
and to them he expressed his feeling
of happiness and confidence of ulti
mate freedom.
Much Improved.
Becker’s stay of sixteen mpnth In
the death house has resulted In
chaises in his appearance. He has
improved in health and his make-up
is that oT an athlete In training.
Also he has read a great deal—the
Blb’e. Shakespeare and many works
of literature.
"I tell you. that death house is an
awful p'ace,” said Becker today.
Just think of it—l've seen twelve men
march past my cell to die since I’ve
been there. Most oT them went like
men. too. But you can believe that
things like that are hard on any one’s
nerves. I've fought to keep out those
influences from my mind and I've suc
ceeded."
Jack Rose.
lack Rose, chief state witness
against Becker, said today he was
ready to testify again If wanted. He
showed feeling when mention was
made of the suggestion that Becker
was made a victim in order that he
and others who confessed their part
in the plot might be saved.
“If It can be proved,” he said, “that
It was a frame up, I wan’t to take the
cell made vacant by Becker. I want
also to pay the penalty and I waive
immunity. We must all face the
Judgment of God. There and there
oily can I be judged upon the testi
mony 1 gave at the trial.”

tures rose throughout this section
during the forenoon.
At Mardi Gras, Tool
New Orleans,—A light snow fell
here for the firßt time since 1903.
Although the temperature was 32 de
grees, the snow melted as fast as it
fell.
Water Pipes Freeze.
Columbia, S. C.—Hundreds of water
pipes were frozen this morning by a
sudden cold wave, which sent the
temperature to 25 degrees, as low as
recorded this winter here. In the out
lying districts as low as 22 was re
ported. Bitterly cold winds added to
the dlsagreeableness of the weather.
Snowfall Is predicted.

fall here at a little after 7 o'clock
this morning and continued for sev
eral hours, giving Charleston the first
snow in two years. The temperature,

ally the rase, many school children
deserted books for snowballing.
Fulton County Planning
For Gov’t By Commission
Atlanta, Ga. —Fulton county may
have a form of commission govern
ment instead of a supervising board
and heads of departments. If a pres
ent plan Is worked out. Several mem
ber* of the present county hoard arc
said to favor It.
A bill will he presenter! to the legis
lature providing for the change in the
cvent the people of Fulton are willing
to try it. It will provide for three
active commissioners who will receive
a salary of $5,000 a year each and who
shall do nothing but handle the coun
ty's affairs.
tinder the present county hoard
system men are elected who make
their living In Other business or pro
fession and who exercise simply a su
pervising function while subordinate

AFTER EXAMINING.
BODY TO WIDOW
(Continued from page one.)
of an investigation of the Benton
case upon his own account.
If Corpse Riddled.
Upon the character of the wounds
found rests proof of Villa’s version
of the killing If the body Is found
riddled with rifle bullets, officials
think the story of an execution after
a oourtmartial will be confirmed and
attention then will he further direct
ed to a point now carefully being In
vestigated as to whether Benton had
committed crimes, as Villa charges,
and was of a disposition to fight with
fire arms.
Status of Inquiry.
White House ofifcials made this
explanation of the status of the in
quiry for Benton’s body:
Two dispatches were received yes
terday, one from Consular Agent Ca
rothers. sa>ing Villa would not per
mit a view of the body "at this time,”
but would do so later, That message
came during the afternoon.
Hate last night ft message was re
ceived from Consular Letcher at Chi
huahua, who had been In personal
conference with Villa. He reported
Villa was willing to have the widow
and relatives of Benton see the body,
when it was exhumed, and that their
visit would be permitted In the pres
ence of representatives to be desig
nated by the American government.
Villa Changes Attitude.
The change In General Villa’s atti
tude as reflected In these two mes
sages, It was said, was the result of
representations by the United States
that his attitude was not satisfactory.
The United States will designate an
army surgeon as one of its represen
tatives as an examination of the body
will be made according to White
House officials.
While apparently satisfied that as
opportunity for medical examination
of the corpse has been made, the
latest representations to Villa request
that after the examination the body
be delivered to the widow Tor burial
wherever she may wish.

“STOP THIEF."
The message to the police is not
understood and no detective puts in
an appearance, but a real thief, who
is taken for a "fly cop” does, and
when he is told of the situation ho
kee; s up the deception, Which gives
him, as he declares, the softest op
portunity Tor "crib cracking” of IPs
career.
“Stop Thief is essentially a farce
of swift action, snappy dialogue and
climax surprises. Its funny stua
tions follow each other so rapidly
that the laughs brought forth by one,
tread on the heels of the next, with
the result that the audience is kept
In a continuous explosion of merri
ment throughout the entire perform
ance.
A consummate exhibition of the
combined art of the actor and the
stoge manager is offered in the sec
ond act of “Stop Thief,” where for
fully five minutes, there is not a word
spoken on the stage. The facial play
of the characters in this unusually
tense situation, however, continues
the thread of the story as vividly and
unctiously as woul<} the spoken dia
logue.
