EAT WHAT YOU WANT
WHEN YOUWANT IT
Give Tour Stomach a Good
Eat Without Fear of
Indigestion.
As ttaers Is often some one In rout
family nho suffers an attack of Indi
gestion or some form of Btpmach trou
ble. why don't you keep a case of Dfa-
pepsln In the house handy?
This harmless blessing will direst
anythlnr you can eat without the
slightest discomfort and regulate a
sour Stomach live minutes after. •
Tell your pharmacist to let you* read
the formula plainly printed on these
KO-oent cases of Papers Dlapepaln. then
vou will readily see why they cure In
digestion, Sour Stomach. Heartburn
and prevent at once such miseries as
Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour,
undigested food. Nausea, Headaches.
Disslness, Constipation and other
Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion with the com
mon every-day* cures advertised that
they have about made up their minds
that they have something else wrong, or
believe theirs Is a case of Nervousness,
Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomaoh or
Cancer.
This Is a serious mistake. Tour real
trouble Is, what you eat does not di
gest! Instead. It ferments and sours,
turns to add. Gas and Stomach poison,
which will putrefy In the entire diges
tive tract and Intestines, and. besides,
poison the breath with nauseous odors.

DIVORCE DAY IN COURT
LOOKS LIKE A MATINEE
V- I
By R. H. ROWE.
On Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday
of the week a group-of women can be
seen In the first division of the superior
court. They occupy seats outside the
bar In the rear of the room and sit
very still. It may be wonderlngly ob
served that they do not talk. They are
too Interested In what Is happening
before them or what Is going to hnppen
to even whisper among themselves.
The first three days of the week aro
divorce days and the women are peti
tioners waiting for their cases to be
heard. The bright color* of their hats
and gowns contrast nueerly with the
dingy solemnness of the court room,
and their attire la thus rendered the
more noticeable. Nevertheless It may
be affirmed from observation at the
superior court that whether or not
women are married In white they are
always divorced In colors.
The gentle litigants—they are all
gentle while In court—have come early.)
They have been notified by their at
torneys on what day their canes will bn
reached, anil whatever pains those
toilets which ait to adorn the witness
stand have cost, care haa been taken
that the court be not delayed on that
account.
They have already been In their
places a long time when the Judge
finally enters, from a aide door. The
bailiff raps with his gavel, the bar
rises to greet the Judge, the Judg* re
turns the greeting, and then all are
seated.
Nothing Matters Now.
The women In the corner now seem
to be huddled together, like fright
ened Iambi They are puzzled by
these proceedings and their big hats
nod about as they try better to see
what Is being done. Puzzled they are
nnd puzaled they will be with the en
tire progress of the ense. They have
that dazed look which zeemz to say,
"Nothing theft can' happen now will

make any difference." until they come
to tell how their liuxbanda have treat
ed them, and (he look changes—but
that la another part of the story.
They do realize, however, that the
mysterious machinery of t/ie law has
been started nnd that soon they will
be called on to Sell their pitiful little
stories to those twelve formidable
Jurymen nnd right before a whole
roomful of other men, too. Poor
frightened things; It might be some
comfort to them .to know that /hose
Jurors are ordinary citizens who Just
then are entirely occupied with won
dering If they might not have been
discharged /ronf Jury service had they
given the Judge some other excuse.
And those other men? They are law
yers who are moving nbout, slapping
each other on the back and telling
Jokes. Or, two or three of them will
be earnestly asserting to each other
that they will Insist on the Immediate
trial of a certain cane, end yet when
the case Is finally called, both sides
will ask that It be put off. None of
them, unless they are counsel, are pay
ing the slightest attention.to the case
on trial.
Want to Ask the Judge.
Some flf these feminine petitioners
get very nervous over their case* and
cun not wait for the day of the trial,
but mu*t go down to the court‘house
to talk over the whole affair with the
Judge before-hand. When they are
told that it would be highly Improper
for the Judge to discus* pending cases,
they go away disappointed, thinking
that worthy endeavor' has faffed of
reward.
The Judge on one occasion was told
that a lady wished to see him. Duping
a lull In the trial before him he left
the bench and asked of what service
he could be to her.
"Oh, Judge. I have been so anxious
to see you.” she said. "I wanted so
to tell you about my suit for divorce.”
"Why, my dear madam, a lawyer is
what you want." replied the Judge.
"Oh. I’ve got a lawyer," said she,
"but I thought It best not to put too
much dependence In him."
In the Spotlight.
When one of the petitioners Is Anal
ly called, she rises from her place,
straightens her hat and walks grlmly
and composedly to the wltneed stand
and seats herself. Whatever flutters of
trepidation there may have been, they*
are all gone now. The eyes of all those
men arc upon her, she thinks, and she
is resolved at apy cost to be calm and
collected. After taking her seat In the
witness chair, she louks up at the court
and Jury as If to say, "Now, do your
worst."
Then the witness begins to tell how
Inhumanly cruel her husband haw been
to her. Fully 76 per cent of the wom
en who bring divorces allege cruelty.
This Is the most frequent of all di
vorce grounds, and one would be aston
ished at the number of husbands who
want divorces from their wives because
they have been cruelly treated, not
cruel In a mental or eslhetlcal sense,
but aetual personal violence. Wives,
however, are the most mtmerous com
plainants In all cases. There are twice
us many wives,as husbands who bring
suits for divorce.
\ "Got Drunk and Beat Me."
Closely associated w ith cruelty Is an
other ground, that of'habitual drunk
enness. Both of them are frequently
alleged In the same petition. They seem
to hnve a casual connection like this:
"lie got drunk and beat me."
When telling of their wedded unhap
piness. the petitioners speak very low—
oh, so low. Neither the judge nor Jury
cun hear them. The Judge frequently
has to say: • •
I will charge the Jury that If they
■In not heur w hat the Witness Is saying
they shall bring In u verdict denying
the divorce.”
This always brings about the desired
result and the witness then speaks out
In what may be properly termed -no
uncertain tones.
The- Judge's admonition, however. Is
needed In no case when the witness
has warmed up to her work, and the
erring husband's conduct Is In review.
They testify emphatically enough then,
nnd that meek look Is nowhere In evi
dence.
“The Whole Truth?"
Rut It must not be understood that
they generally Indulge in a tirade of
abuse of their absent husbands. No,
they are far too worldly wlee for that.
In this comprehensive exhibit are the several styles of gas water heaters, including the famous Ruud Auto
matic Heater, which supplies hot water for the entire pure food exposition. It is worth a trip to the show just to
see this marvelous invention at work. The gas range shown in the picture is similar lo those in use in every
booth at the exposition where demonstrations in cooking arc made.
They assume a manner which says: ”1
am telling thin more In Hoffow than In
anger, ami as a last resort for my.own
protection.” And It works, too. She
can tell with this manner how her hus
band slapped her, slapped her thru no
fault on her pact, until the blood of the
Jury .will boll jn righteous indignation,
and if the defendant waa at hand the$*
would lynch him before he could ex
plain that, what really caused the trou
ble was that hls^lfe had first, swatted
him over the lieutr with a pleye of rail
road Iron. t
After the case Is over, then the"peti
tioners don't want-anything said about
It In the ne wspapers. Their lingers
see the reporters. ‘’’Don't say anymlng
about that little case Just now,” they
urge. “My client Is a very sensitive
sort of woman and doesn’t want it
mentioned.” /
Not all women, however, shrink from
publicity. One otme to nee the deputy
clerk of the divorce division.
“Why didn’t you put In the paper
that I liad got a # divorce from my hus
band?” she said'to him.
“Why, that’s none of my business,”
he replied.
, Wants It in the Paper.
•AVell. whose business In'" It? I see
other divorce cases In the papers and I
didn't see mine. Everybody knew*
when I married my husband and now
I want everybody to know that I’ve got
rid of him.” /
Sometimes n hti*bnnd wants to keep out
of print also. one such petitioner. n“

WOULD BE GOOD JOKE
THOUGHT JOHNSON,
AMATEUR BLACKHAND
Continued from Page Three.
that the boy was contemplating matri
mony or «that he might have wanted
money f». this purpose.
It Is known that young Johnson has
been In love With a girl In Gainesville,
where he has been attending the River
side Academy, but he Insists he that he
was not evan thinking of marrying this
girl.
Friends of Johnson, however, say he
was madly In love wl|h the girl, who
waa herself attending nchool— Brenau
College—an<T say It Is* generally under
stood the young man gave up his
studies and left school on her account.
He came home from school March 15.
It has twice been reported that he had
been secretly married. In speaking of
his sweetheart Wednesday morning, the
prisoner smiled and the. thought of the
girl seemed to bolster Ills spirits con
siderably.
Would Try Experiment.
Johnson admits that he* read dime
novele and detective * stories a good
deal while off at school, but denies that
he got his idea of threatening Mr. Can
dler from any «rt these stories. He says
he. formed his plan about a week ago.
after talking with thri»e strange men.
whom he dods not Unity. These strang
ers. lie said,. suggested that such a
scheme would be an pasy .way to get
money and senre some.rlch man, and he
deckled he would try It, Just as an ex-
perlment—-to see If it would realty work
auccessfuily.
Young Johnson has, never . worked
anywhere except on his home place, his
father having kept him In school for a
number of years. The boy first attend
ed MariSt College, apd later the Uni
versity school at Stone Mountain. He
was next sent to the Riverside Acad
emy at Gainesville, where he is said to
have made a*splendid■-record, until he
fell In love.
.When Johnson was arrested by De
tectives Lockhart nnd Coker he was at
tired In his working elotlies. which he
wore about his home out In the country
near Decatur. These clothes—an old
slouch hat and blue overalls—he Ntlll
had on In the police station Wednesday.
Ordinarily. However, he Is a stylish
dresser. He chatted frankly and freely
of his gigantic scheme, seemed to take
the situation philosophically and. In
fact, didn’t seem to fully comprehend
Just what he had done or the sensation
he had really-created.
I "I’m Certainly Sorry.”
When asked for a statement, he said:
“f don’t know hardly what mad** me
do this. I can't explain'It. It seemed
that 1 panted excitement and I Just felt
like 1 wanted to create a big sensation
and ms^ke the people talk. I guess I

even If he had given It to me. and I
suppose I must have simply wanted to

written the.threatening letters and that
I had meant no harm. Mr. Candler has
always been a good friend to me; he Is
my Sunday school teacher, and I would
not have taken his money for anything.

Boy’a Father Talk*.
Mr. Johnson, the father, called at the .
prison to sec hts boy Wednesday and drujjlit.
hn.d a lengthy talk wfth him.
Johnson Is greatly distressed over thi
act tif his son nfid says ho Is unable to
understand It.
”The‘ boy didn’t need any money; ho
was getting along all right, and I cant
figure out for the life of me what mad#
him do such a thing,” said the father,
“It. must have been some wild notion.
,1. really don’t believe he was responsi
ble for It, for there was no excuse. He
has been acting rafher strangely of J are
anyway, alnce his return from school,
and It seemed that there was some
thing on-hla mind. He would sit about
and study and would talk very little. I
had noticed (his and would frequently
ask him'why he did not talk more. Ht
would reply that he had nothing to talk
about. .1 think that the stories of the
Whltla. kidnaping case must have had
some Influence over him In framing up
such a-rfCheme.
”1 uofl’t. mind his punishment —
much as 1 do the fact that he ha*
ruined hlli reputation. I have worked
hard and sent him to school In an ef
fort to educate him and make a man of
him, and noV to think that he should
make a break like this. It Is simply
awful. His-mother Is prostrate ami it
Is a shock to us all. Mr. Candler and
myself are close friends and I wouldn’t
have had this to happen for anything."
Was on-fhe Jury.
A coincidence In connection with thi
affair Js the fact that Mr. Johnson «m
on the jury last week In the United
States court and passed on a similar
case, where the defendant was charged
with using the malls for fraudulent
purposes. Mr. Johnson voted to find
the defendant guilty.
“I would find my own son guilty un
der such circumstances as these, sera
1 on the Jury,” he remarked.
Another coincidence Is the fact that
young Johnson and William Candler,
son of Mr. Candler, have been chum*
for some time and were almost in
stantly • together. When he heard ef
Johnson’s act Tuesday night, young
Candler broke down.and wept, and for
