"Not a single jailer or jail attache or any person acquainted with the man's condition since he has been incar cerated was willing to sign an affidavit expressing the belief that he is insane. I went to the governor without a ease because the doctors have maintained persistently that Clay was sound of mind and declared that he was sham ming insanity." Attorney Smith is consistent in his belief that the prisoner is of unsound •mind and has been so sine, the night he went to the little cottage in Lee street and shot his wife to death. Clay's indifferent demeanor tills morning, when he was moved into the death cell, last occupied by George Burge, a wife slayer, who paid for his crime on the gallows a year ago, strengthens his lawyer's belief that the man is insane. When Clay was told that he occupied the cell last used to house George Burge, he made no sign. If he heard the jail attaches in the gallows room busy with preparations he gave no sign. Except to light another cigarette and •moke it slowly, he did not stir during the morning. Sheriff Mangum announced today that the execution would be conducted in private in strict compliance witli the law. No person, excepting the author ities, will be permitted to witness Clay’s death. The sheriff sald>that he had received hundreds of requests from morbidly curious persons to see the ex ecution, but no admission tickets would be issued.

Detectives and Doctors Work along similar lines. One seeks the thief who steals money or val uables; the other is after the thing that steals health. Every doctor knows that the insidious, subtle drug, caffeine, in coffee and tea “gets away with valuables that money can not buy—clear brain, steady nerves, regular heart action, sound sleep, etc. That is why they often advise patients to quit coffee and tea. For more than 17 years POSTUM has been helping doctors put “coffee wrecks” on their feet. Made of clean, hard wheat, Postum is a true food-drink. It contains no caffeine or other harmful substance; but does contain the Phosphate of Potash (grown in the wheat) required by Nature in rebuilding brain and nerve cells. And now comes the new INSTANT POSTUM Made in the cup No boiling required Some say it has improved flavour, but it is regular Postum in concentrated form— nothing added. Simply put a level teaspoonful (more or less for strength desired) in a cup of hot water. Stir until dissolved: then add sugar to taste and enough cream to bring the color to golden brown. A fascinating beverage is ready instantly. or 5-eup trial tin mailed for grocer’s name and 2c stamp.

HUNDREDSFACE JOYLESS ® IN ATLANTA r ———— Continued From Page One. corner in Atlanta. Gus Edwards w'.l play the piano until his fingers are worn off and there’ll be room on the truck for plenty of dancing and singing. And we’ll have every girl on the Grand bill selling Georgians and turning over the cash for the kiddies.” , “Tickled to Death” to Help. "Play? Os course. I’ll play,” said Gus Edwards, who wrote "School Days" and a lot of other songs the gallery whis ties. “I'll be tickled to death to help fill empty stockings. Santa Claus isn't going to forget a child in Atlanta this season if we can help It.” The children whom Santa Claus for got will be fewer this year if other At lantans respond as liberally to The Georgian's appeal for the Empty Stock ing fund as did those whose names ap peared yesterday and today. Within 24 hours a substantial sum had been sub scribed by men constantly called upon for charities. But it will require a general response from the well-to-do folks of Atlanta to give every boy and girl a bit of rea' Christmas, for the list is a long one and the time is short. Provide Christmas Joy for These. Atlanta is not a city of slums, nor has it a great population of miserably poor. Its people are brave and proud, and even the poorest hesitate to call for public aid. But there are hundreds upon hun dreds of homes where every cent the wage earner can scrape together must be devoted to actual necessities; where the purchase of coal and food and clothing leaves nothing for the little things which children consider the great things. There can be no toys when the gro cer is calling for his money; no candies and fruit when the pantry is bare of flour. Cheerless Xmas Childhood Tragedy. It isn’t any joke to be a child on Christmas morning and find no little gift to mark the day when all the other children in the street are playing with brand-new toys. It is a pitiful tragedy of childhood, a tragedy which leaves its mark in after years. A child can understand cold and hun ger and patched or ragged garments, but a child who has been taught the universal love of Him whose birthday is celebrated on Christmas can not understand why He who loves all lit tle ones permits happiness to come to the rich and misery to the poor on the one day in the yeah most precious of all In the calendar of childhood. SECRET WORKER T he Plan Upon Which Coffee Works. Coffee is such a secret worker that it is not suspected as the cause of sick ness or disease, but there Is a very dure way to find out the truth. A lady in Memphis gives an interest ing experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that he had been using it for some time and was an invalid. The physician in charge shrewdly suspected that coffee was the "Worm at the root of the tree.” and ordered it discontinued with instructions to use Postum regularly in its place. The wife says: “We found that was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have gladly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctor’s charge when we found how wise his Judgment was. "The use of Postum instead of coffee was begun about a year ago, and it has made my husband a strong, well man. He has gained thirty-five pounds In that time and his stomach and heart trouble have all disappeared. “We never tire of telling our friends of the benefit we have received from leaving off coffee and using Postum in its place.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
