THE WORK OF KINDERGARTENS.
Mias Elliott’s Observations at the
International Union.
Miss Phoebe Elliott, principal of the
Phelbrlck Kindergarten has returned
from Rochester, N. Y., where she
went to represent the Kate Baldwin
Free Kindergarten Association at the
eleventh annual convention of the
International Kindergarten Union, the
largest organization of Its kind In ex
istence.
Reports were read from training
schools all over the world, and Miss
Elliott submitted the report of work
done by the Kate Baldwin Associa
tion.
Miss Elliott said that she was
most courteously received and great
interest was shown In the progress of
kindergarten work in the South.
Besides the business features of the
convention there were many dellghtfu l
social features, among which was a
coaching party to Kodak Park, the
works of the Eastman Kodak Com
pany, where pictures -were taken of
the delegates printed, and delivered
to them, while they waited.
Among the features of the meeting
was the report of the Committee of
Fifteen, composed of such prominent
educators as Miss Busan Blow, Miss
Whieelock, Miss Fisher, Dr. Jenlng
B. Merrill and Miss Hill, who are
endeavoring to work out a consoli
dation of kindergarten Interests and

the kindergarten, the Right and the
Wrong of It.

A Public Offer
To AH Persons in Savannah AVhf
Visit lo Gain Flesh. /
Some people do not need to gain
flesh, but many must before health can
be restored to a normal condition.
Are you thin? Dou you require more
flesh to be really well and strong? If
you do we want you to commence a
course of treatment now with Vinol.
and we will agree that if after you
have taken w hat we consider should be
enough lo restore your normal weight,
and it has not succeeded, we will pay
for all the medicine you have taken
ourselves.
Now you will agree that we would
ruin ourselves financially if we should
make such a bold offer on an article
of no merit, and we must know what
we are talking about, or we would not
guarantee the action of any medicine
like that.
A prominent physician recently said.
“The best way to gain good, solid,
firm flesh is to take Vinol. for In It
you get all the curative, flesh-making
and strength-creating properties con
tained in that grand old remedy, cod
liver oil. without the nauseating oil it
self, and the weakest stomach'can re
tain it. Thin people are usually weak
and ailing, and Vinol Is what they
need.”
Dr. Z. F. Highsmith of Sumter. S.
C..writes: “While taking Vinol 1 gain
ed ten pounds; It restored appetite and
strength.”
Mr. E. O. Taft of Boonton, N. J..
writes: “Vinol increased my weight
eight pounds in a short time, and made
me well.”
Mr. Henry Dickens of Nashville.
Tenn.. writes: “Vinol increased my
weight 17 pounds and cured me. I could
not take cod liver oil. as It disagreed
with me and upset my stomach.”
C. G. Johnson of Burlington. Vt..
writes: “Vinol has restored my lost
weight, and I have gained 20 pounds.
Old-fashioned cod liver oil upset my
stomach, but Vinol made me well."
So we might go on quoting from
hundreds of such letters, and It Is for
this reason we know what Vinol will
do. You see It acts first upon the
stomach, createst an appetite for good,
wholesome food, and strengthens and
tones up the digestive organs so the
food is properly assimilated. Rich, red
blood is sent coursing through every
vein; solid, firm flesh is created wher
ever it is needed, and emaciated fig
ures, hollow cheeks and sunken eyes
are soon a thing of the past. Vinol
makes firm, healthy flesh, and the
weak strong, because it strengthens ev
ery organ in the body to do its work.

DR. VAN RUYMBEKE TO
GIVE HIS TESTIMONY.
Jnriffc Cann Hnndpd Down Ills Dp
pinion in Cnp Tpntpptlnjf.
According to the ruling of Judge
Cann in the Superior Court yesterday
Dr. Joseph Van Ruymbeke must give
the testimony desired in the case
brought against him by James E. Hel
ler and others in the Cook County. 111.,
Superior Court. The testimony will
be taken, after the lapse of a reason
able length of time in which to se
cure the necessary papers, by Mr. Liv
ingston Kenan.
The details of the case are familiar
to readers of the Morning News.. A
dedimus was issued by the Superior
Court of Cook county ordering Dr,
Van Kuymbeke to give his testimony to
Mr. Kenan, in reply to oral interroga
tories A subpoena was issued by
Mr. Kenan ordering him to appear be
fore him. but this the chemist Ignored.
The matter was then taken before
Judge Cann and a writ served on the
doctor, compelling him to show causa
why h? should not give the testimony
desired. In his answer Dr. Van
Ruymbeke claimed that he was a cit
izen of Belgium, n foreign kingdom,
and hence not subject to the rule of
the Georgia court. He also objected
to oral questions, and claimed that as
all his papers and books were in Bel
gium that it was impossible to give the
testimony.
Replying to the first contention of
the Belgian. Judge Cann ruled that
any witness tnay be considered to live
where he can be served. The method
of taking the deposition depends on the
statutes of the state and the exercise
of comity by the courts of that state.
In reply to the contention that he had
no power to issue the warrant for the
doctor, the court ruled that he had the
right to exercise all necessary powers
appertaining to his Jurisdiction.
In conclusion the rule temporarily
granted is made absolute, and unless
the desired testimony is given in a
reasonable length of time, the chemist
will be imprisoned * for contempt of
court. As both parties had agreed to
abide by Judge Cann's decision, this
finally disposes of the matter.

I l ' f IWIOHU BISCUIT COMPANY
PAWNBROKERS REPLY
TO MERCHANTS’ KICK.
Claim That lanrlona Interest Is Not
Charged by Them.
Since the announcement in the Morn
ing News that it Is the intention of the
retail merchants to have & bill intro
duced in the Legislature making usury
a misdemeanor, the pawnbrokers and
money lenders have been considerably
exercised.
It is admitted that if such a bill is
passed there will be a great reduction
in the number of pawnshops doing
business here. One pawnbroker made
the statement a day or two ago that
such a law would force him to close his
doors.
"The taxes which we pay to the city
and state are very .heavy, and that
alone should entitle us to some con
sideration,” said one pawnbroker. "To
begin with we pay the city JSOO and to
the state SIOO. Then for the privilege
of selling pistols, revolvers, bowie
knives, etc., we pay a tax of $25 to the
state. A specific tax is also paid the
city of S3O, making our total yearly tax
$645. Multiply this by the number of
brokers and see what a revenue It
msKcs
“What merchant, may I ask, Is play
ing a similar amount for the mere priv
ilege of doing business. As for our
charging usurious Interest, that is not
the case. Our Interest Is governed by
the size of the loan. In small loans of
50 cents and sl. we must charge a com
paratively high rate of Interest to make
anything at all. With larger loaus we
lower the interest. At present 1 have
outstanding a loan of SSO, and am
charging only 3 per cent, interest. The
common interest charge is 10 per cent.
"The law, if passed, will have only
the effect of reducing the number of
pawnshops in the city. The others will
then immediately enlarge and instead
of so many small ones we will have a
few large ones. To rid the country of
pawnshops, the evident intention of
the merchants, is impossible. Pawn
shops have existed in Europe for hun
dreds of years and they are in this
country to stay. I have heard them
called 'a necessary evil,’ Justly or un
justly, as you please.
"I do not believe that the effort to
stop selling goods that h’ave not been
bought second-hand can be carried to
success. That Is a practice which will
be hard to stop, In Pact, I do not be
lieve that It can be stopped. For in
stance, if you wish to go up the street
and buy fifty pairs of shoes, and then
come and ptewn them to me, who can
stop you?”
COTTON MEN’S VIEWS
DIFFER ON ACREAGE
Reported Ten Per Cent. Increase Occasioned
Much Comment.
The New York Journal of Commerce
reports that the Increase In the cot
ton acreage this season would not be
less than 10 pier cent., occasioned some
surprise among the members of the
Cotton Exchange yesterday. Some
were inclined to think that the in
creased acreage would be larger than
10 per cent., while others thought the
estimate excessive. That the crop will
undoubtedly be greater than last sea
son was admitted by all.
“An Increase of 10 per cent, would
mean an addition of about 2.900,000
acres,” said Mr. L. M. LeHardy, "but
I scarcely think that it will reach
such a figure. After all, everything
depends upon the weather. We al
ready have a late season, and if we
get a wet May the Increase in acreage
will ndt amount to so much after all.
“Yes, everything depends upon the
weather,” said Mr. E. A. Cutts. '"My
advices from the country are to the
effect that the farmers are planting
more uplands than they did last sea
son. This increase, of course, is
brought about by the high price of

cotton. If the weather conditions are
favorable we may look for a larger
crop.”
Mr. H. D. Stevens, in discussing the
acreage, said: "I think a 10 per cent,
increase is about fair,and I am inclined
to think that the Georgia crop will be
increased from 5 to 6 per cent. Our
correspondence shows that the country
is going to try and produce more cot
ton this year, but everything depends
upon the weather and labor. Florida,
for instance, will not add to Its crop, as
the reports are that labor is extreme
ly short in that state.”
The local fertilizer people report an
increased demand throughout Georgia
and the reports of the commissioners
of agriculture of the states of Geor
gia, Florida and South Carolina al
ready received at the Cotton Exchange,
show an increased sale of fertilizer
tags. Florida reports that during the
months of January, February and
March, 1903, fertilizer stamps for 60,-
002 tons were sold, and during the same
period in 1904, stamps were disposed of
for 56,333 tons.
The excess in Georgia this season
was 84.920 tags up to April 1. while In
South Carolina the sale of actual fer
tilizer this season is 1,736 tons in ex
cess of last year.
