PAGE FOUR OX’S TAX ON INHERITANCE Attorney Gen. Napier Reverses Opinion of Assistant Attor ney General Gress ATLANTA, Oct. 15.—Replying to a direct question propounded to State Tax Commissioner Dozier, At torney General Napier has prepared an opinion to be handed out today row. in which he reverses the recent opinion of Assistant Attorney Gen eral Gress, that the new inheritance law, passed by the last Legislature is unsounded and unconstitutional.. Mr. Napier, it is learned, holds in his more elaborate opinion that the act of August 27, 1925, while not by express language repealing the old law, does so, neverthless both by superceeding it and by implica tion, in support of his position in this respect, he quotes from a Su preme Court decision by Mr. Justice Hines directly covering th e point. This opinion by the Attorney General will greatly clarify a situ ation which has created a great deal of comment and doubt throughout the State, and will be the guide which will be followed by the State Tax Commissioner, it is said. HARD TO SECURE JURY IN STEPHENSON CASE NOBLESVILLE, Ind.. Ovt. 15. Preconceived opinions and opposi tions to capital punishment again prevented a jury being obtained in Hamilton circuit court to try D. C. Stephenson, former Ku Klux Klan leader and two associates charged with murder in connection with the death of Madge Oberholtzer, of Indianapolis. The prospect of actually putting It’s Cruel to “Physic” a Child < 1 i i DR CALDWELL AT AGE S 3 was the cause of nearly all children’s little ills, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” every little while was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which regulates the bowels. A single dose will estab lish natural, healthy bow-el movement for weeks at a time, even if the child was chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel move ment but. best of all, it is often months before another dose is neces sary. Besides, it is absolutely harm less, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bilious, sick child gladly takes it.

Thousands! are only half-alive, constantly suffer-] ing with weakness, nervousness, pal-i pitation of the heart, headaches, etc.— continually taking medicines—when, in the great majority of cases, the real trouble is chronic fatigue. Chronic fatigue is entirely different from the “healthy” fatigue you feel after hard work. Chronic fatigue comes from within. Your nerves, muscles, organs, etc., have become run-down and cannot function properly. To conquer it you must go to its cause—in the blood. For it is from the blood that every muscle, nerve and tissue gets its nourishment So when you are thin, pale, tired and run-down, it is usually because your blood is thin and pale, lacking in sufficient organic iron to carry strength to the starved tissues. • What you need, then, is not mere tonics, but more organic iron in your blood, so it can carry strength and vigor to every part of your body. But don’t take the older mineral iron medicines which many doctors now say do little good. Take organic iron —Nuxated Iron—which is like the iron in your blood and like that in spinach and lentils. Unlike ordinary mineral iron it will not injure the teeth nor dis turb the stomach, but is promptly as similated. • Take Nuxated Iron for just two weeks and you’ll be amazed how much strong er you feel—how the color comes back: to your cheeks and the sparkle and life to your eyes. Money back if not improved. At all good druggists. THURSDAY AFTERNOON. OCTOBER 15. 1925 .the negro school $5,000.
