Grand Jury Indicted Both.
It’s a rare joke the grand jury has
played on Tom Felder and Chief Lan
ford of the detective department.
Neither Felder nor I^anford relishes
the humor, but the public does. In
stead of indicting Lanford on Felder’s
charges or indicting Felder on Lan
ford’s charges the grand jury has in
dicted them both for criminal libel,
leaving it up to them to prove which
told the truth about the other. To re
call the simile of the Kilkenny cats,
the grand jury has tied their tails to
gether and hung them over the muni
cipal clothesline to let them fight it
out with tooth and claw. The
beauty of it is that neitherofthem
can complain. Felder published
statements against Lanford accusing
Lanford of “hideous crimes.” Lan
ford publicly accused Felder of be
ing “a contemptible liar, scoundrel
and would-be briber.” Now, in the
light of the double indictments the
only thing Felder needs to do to be
acquitted of libel is to prove his
Charges against Lanford. Similarly
all Lanford has to do it to prove his
charges against Felder. If neither
can prove what he said about the oth
er, then he will stand convicted, the
grand jury believes, of the criminal
libel charge. The action of the
grand jury is so ingenious as to be
worthy of King Solomon. Neither
Felder's friends nor Lanford’s friends
can take exception to it. Both men
are impaled on the horns of the same
dilemna.
Blow Cured Cigarette Habit.
Scientists all over the United
States are watching with profound
interest the developments in the case
of W. W. Christian, the Atlanta ciga
rette fiend who was suddenly cured
of his taste for tobacco by a blow on
the head from a black-jack in the
hands of a highway robber. It has
been contended for many years that
the proper kind of surgical operation
could in many cases cure Inveterate
cigarette smokers. If the cure ac
cidentally affected in the case of
young Christian proves permanent,
the fact will be taken as a powerful
argument In favor of the theory, and
surgeons will endeavor to do with
scientific accuracy what the thug with
his sand bag did by accident. Chris
•tian was struck a hard blow direct
ly on the forehead from which he suf
fered concussion of the brain. He
recovered, however, and is now in his
normal state of mind except that he
has a horror of tobacco. Before he
was struck he was a habitual and in
veterate smoker.
Georgia Own Grandfather.
To add to the trials of suffering from
the July heat, along comes a Georgian
by the name of Colquittt who lifts his
voice to take the public into his con
fidence, bewailing the lamentable fact
that he is his own grandfather. He
blames some peculiar matrimonial
inix-ups for the position in which he
finds himself. This is the way he
says It happened: “1 married a widow
who had a daughter. My father mar
ried my stepdaughter. She become
my stepmother because she was my |
father’s wife. My stepdaughter also
had a son. He was my brother, and
at the same time my grandchild, for
he was the son of my daughter. My
wife was my grandmother because
she was my mother's mother. I was
my wife’s husband and grandchild at
the same time, and as the husband of
a person’s grandmother is his grand
father, I became my own grandfather.
Flying Squirrel Had Rabies.
Miss Hallie and Wooten Harris,
daughter and son of Rev. W. H. Har
ris of Thomasville, who are being
treated at the state pasteur institute
here for the bite of a flying squirrel
which was feared to have had rabies,
are both doing well and in no danger.
An examination of the head of the
animal, however, has revealed the
fact that “the squirrel unqustionably
did have rabies, and that the chil
dren would probably have died of
hydrophobia if prompt action had not
been taken. The flying squirrel was
a pet and the children were playing
with it when it suddenly went wild
and bit both of them deeply on their
hands and wrists. The squirrel is
the smalle.st animal ever known to
have had rabies in Georgia.
Three Policemen Suspended.
Three policemen. C. H. Bailey, R.
A. Wood, and R. T. David, have
been suspended from the force and
are in temporary disgrace on the
charge that they visited and'patroniz
ed a blind tiger operated on Auburn
avenue by a negro woman named Ola
Bradley. The woman has been ar
rested. Several gallons -of whiskey |
were found in her place. -Tt would ■
be pretty tough to convict an ignor
ant negro woman who has been ar
rested by policemen in uniform for
selling whiskey to policemen in the
same uniform,’’ said a police court
lawyer
Atlanta Sanitary Problem.

upon some fine morning and finding

FROCKS FOR SUMMER
CLEVER SHOPPER CAN FIND GOOD
BARGAINS NOW.
Reception Dress of Crepe de Chine
Combined With Chantilly Lace
Makes Charming Costume—
Smart Designs in Cotton.
The woman who has been slow
about securing her summer outfit has
a tempting array of bargains to choose
from now, and the clever shopper may
find in the tumbling prices compensa
tion for loss of the choice novelties.
The most exquisite of the season’s
laces, embroideries and other trim
mings were picked up early in the sea
son and the same is true of dress ma
terial, hats, robe patterns, but there
’ —
' — ”
Crepe de Chine and Chantilly Lace,
are enough lovely things left to satisfy
even a fastidious woman and many of
those lovely things are being offered
: at prices far below those asked two
months ago.
The coat and skirt street costumes,
usually tlie earliest items of the spring
wardrobe are conspicuous among the
sale bargains. One may be still in
need of fluffy summer frocks and will
ing to pay good prices for them; but
save in exceptional cases, the woman
who Is willing to pay well for her trot
ting frocks was long ago supplied with
USES OF CREPE DE„ CHINE
Chief Reason for the Favor It Enjoys
la Because It Drapes so
Admirably.
There ts a strong liking for crepe de
chine, and this material has made its
outdoor appearance in Paris much ear
lier in the season than usual. Prob
ably the chief reason for the favor it
enjoys is that it drapes so admirably
either in the cross-over drapery, which
may simulate a panler in front and Is ;
then caught up in the center of the j
back toward the hem of the skirt, or
in the looped-up skirt effect, which is ,
so picturesque. Crepe is no longer .
confined to g«wns; it is used to make i
up costumes also, and there are also
frocks which adapt themselves to out
side wear by simulating a cutaway
coat or basque.
Gift for Bridesmaids
One little bride, with more in
gebuity than money, made photograph
frames from material like her wed- ‘
| ding dress, placed therein her portrait j
and that of her fiance, then had the
whole thing mounted under glass :
with a small gilt rim of picture frame
molding. Her maids were delighted
with the gifts.
Identification Tag.
A very simple means of providing
this useful article is to get a disk of j
metal a little smaller than a fifty- i
cent piece. Have a hole drilled .
through it for the purpose of attaching
to a piece of ribbon or tape. A hard
: ware dealer will, for a few cents. '
i punch on the disk your name and
I address. Wear round the neck.
all such costumes needed for the sea
son.
Attractive Afternoon Gowns.
If the street frocks left upon the im
i porter’s hands are to be sold now they
must be sold by virtue of striking re
ductions in price, and values really re
markable may be found by the shop
per who is willing to make the rounds.
1 The same house showed attractive
evening and afternoon wraps, recep
tion and visiting gowns and lingerie
gowns and blouses ail marked at a fig
ure far below the original price.
"There was a stylish reception dress
1 of crepe de chine combined with chan
-1 tllly lace. The lace formed the over
bodice with peplum at back and bot
tom of the skirt There was also a
charming little afternoon frock of
green charmeuse trimmed with chiffon
embroidered with jet beads.
Smart Designs in Cotton Materials.
At another shop there were bargains
to be had in two good looking but
more simple frocks of cotton materials.
One was a crepe in a delicate shade of |
pink. It was trimmed with border
bands of the material finely tucked.
The skirt front was cut away at the
bottom in pointed shape showing an
underskirt of pale cream batiste and |
lace. The V at the neck was also
filled in with batiste and lace. The
sailor collar was hand embroidered. A
narrow black and white patent leath- ;
er belt completed this dainty costume. ’
The other frock was of p’aln white
eponge and basket weave. The jacket
and lower part of the skirt were of the
coarse basket weave material edged
with heavily embroidered scallops-
There were also scallop edged revers,
hand embroidered. The girdle was of
a deep bluish purple silk,

NEW COATS FOR MIDSUMMER
Are Made Much on Same Styles as
Earlier Spring Coats Were
Fashioned After.
Wraps and coats for midsummer
are made much on the same styles
the earlier spring coats have been
fashioned after. Many of them are
trimmed with fancy collars and cuffs
of printed silk and some are trimmed
with velvet ribbon and a few have
lace collars and cuffs. The most pop
ular colors seem to be black, navy,
taupe, gold, Saxe blue and sand. Bro
caded charmeuses, crepe de chine and
other novelty brocades are all being
made up into wraps suitable for warm
weather use.
A few saucy linen coats in white,
rose, tan and Saxe blue, in the new
three-quarter length in cutaway ef
fects will be worn this summer, and
• these are sometimes trimmed with
' cluny or ratine lace, or have embroid
! ered collars and cuffs In Cubist or
Balkin designs and colorings. How
! ever, the silks seem more popular,
probably because they are newer and
prettier.
Coat Effects on Gowns.
Coat effects on gowns give a pleas- j
ing novelty in summer fashions. No
matter how unconventional one may
decide to be, few women have the
courage to go about in town without
some sort of outside wrap.
Sometimes these coat tops are very
marked and are exactly like the vari
ous bloused coat models, except that
they are a part of the dress and can
not be removed. Then again they are i
simply indicated by the manipulation ;
of the draperies and trimmings.

Something Really Serious.
He came into the president’s office,
the small black sinner, to answer to
the charge of leaving his work with
out proper permission. He tearfully ex
plained that he had been absent a
whole afternoon because his mother
was 111. The interrogator diagnosed
her illness as baseball, but the defend
ant deposed that it was “heart trou
ble.”
“Heart trouble, eh?” repeated the
president, pondering. “That sounds
serious, sonnie. Now, where and
when does she feel the pain worst?”
"At night, and in her big toe,” was
the snuffling reply.
Ouchi
One of those dear lady friends of
ours who takes a particular interest in
other people’s affairs, got on a car and
sat down beside a quiet lopking man,
whose face was badly pitted.
"Why, you poor man!" she ex
claimed. "How you must have suf
fered! How long ago did you have the
tmallpox?"
“Madam," was the seriously spoken
reply, “what evidently drew your at
j tention are not pits of smallpox. I had
| these put on by a beauty specialist to
| keep my face from skidding when I
j eat watermelon.”
Who's Got a Match?
A tow headed boy had just been in
terviewed by the manager about a job.
He seemed to fit the place and was
told to begin work. Then the mana
ger recalled that he had missed one
point.
"O, George,” he asked, “do you
smoke?”
“Not durin’ work hours.” the kid an
i swered. “But I'll take one and smoke
j it after supper if it’s all the same to
■ you.”
BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.
I The way some persons cling to cof
i fee, even after they know it is doing
i them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
! easy matter to give it up for good,
i when Postum is properly made and
, used-instead. A girl writes:
; "Mother had been suffering with
\ nervous headaches for seven weary
■ years, but kept on drinking coffee.
“One day I asked her why she did
: not give up coffee, as a cousin of mine
I had done who had taken to Postum.
; But Mother was such a slave to coffee
i she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
"Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish, I asked
for a taste.
“That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than I did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
। Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, “The
j Road to Wellville.”
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Poatum (must be boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn't require boil
i Ing, but is prepared instantly by stir-
I ring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary
; cup of hot water, which makes it right
■ for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
; people who like strong things put in a
1 heaping spoonful and temper it with a
I large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
; amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.
'There’s a Reason” for Postum.
