GOVERNOR AGAIN
REFUSES TO
RESPITE
Continued From Page One.
a commission is to be named. I have
been unable to make such a showing.
"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 tlie governor without a case
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 since the night
he went to the little cottage in Lee
, street and shot his wife to death.
Clay’s indifferent demeanor this
morning, when he was moved Into the
death cell, last occupied by George
Burge, a wife slayer, who paid for ills
crime on the gallows a year ago,
strengthens his lawyer's belief that the
man is insane.
When Clay was told that he occupied
tlie ceil last used to house George
Purge, he made no sign. If he heard
tlie jail’ attaches in the gallows room
busy with preparations he gave no sign.
Except to light another cigarette and
smoke it slowly, lie did not stir during
the morning.
Sheriff Mangum announced today
that the execution would be conducted
in private in strict compliance with the
lavt. No person, excepting the author
ities, will be permitted to witness
t'lay's death. The sheriff said 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 vears
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
Shine 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.

FAILURE TO KISS WIFE
NO REASON FOR DIVORCE
MACON, GA., Dec. 12.—Because a
husband does not kiss his wife and even
refuses to speak to her for days at a
time is no reason why she should
have a divorce, in the opinion of a jury
here today. Mrs. S. D. Roquenmre told
the jury that her husband was "an ice
box,” which lie denied, and that lie did
not demonstrate any affection for her.
The jury refused to give her a divorce.
HUNDREDS UK
JOYLESS ■
IN Mil
Continued Fro m p Jge Or)f
and Gus Edward’s company, whic. ,
resting in Atlanta this week. It
ises to reap a harvest of sliver from tJ
Saturday afternoon throngs u, A”
down Peachtree.
"We’ll give a regular Vaudeville
formance at Five Points," said Mr. c a "
doza today. “Get us the biggest aE (
truck you can and drive it to the bu« ‘ J
corner in Atlanta. Gus Edwards w*
play the piano until his fingers are worn
off and there’ll be room on the truck fc>
plenty of dancing and singing, juf
we’ll have every girl on the Grand'bir
selling Georgians and turning over th
cash for the kiddies.”
“Tickled to Death” to Help.
"Play? Os course, I’ll play," said Gn
Edwards, who wrote "School bays'' Z
a lot of other songs the gallery \vh(.
ties. "I’ll be tickled to death to help
fill empty stockings. Santa Claus isf
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 Try
Georgian’s appeal for the Empty Stock
ing fund as did those whose names ap
peared yesterday and today. Within tt
hours a substantial sum had been sab- J
scribed by men constantly called upon 1
for charities.
But It will require a general response!
from the well-to-do folks of Atlanta tel
give every boy and girl a bit of res' I
Christmas, for the list is a long one!
and the time is short.
Provide Christmas Joy for Those,
Atlanta is not a city of slums, nor
lias' it a great population of miserably I
poor. Its people are brave and proud,
and even the poorest hesitate to car. tor
public aid.
But there are hundreds upon ;.j r .. ■
dreds of homes where every cent the
wage earner can scrape together mus.
be devoted to actual necessities; where
the purchase of coal and food and
clothing leaves nothing for the Utt:
things which children consider the
great things.
There can be no toys when tne gro
cer is calling for his money: no eandie
and fruit when the pantry is bare o'
flour.
Cheerless Xmas Childhood Tragedy.
It isn’t any joke to be a child u n
Christmas morning and lind no link
gift to mark the day when ail the uliif
children in the street are playing with
brand-new toys. It is a pitiful trageii
of childhood, a tragedy which leave*
its mark in after years.
w SECRET WORKEE
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Works.
Coffee !s such a secret worker ti ro .t
Is not suspected as the cause of s\ ~
ness or disease, but there is a very su
way to find out the truth.
A/JSldy in Memphis gives an interest
ing experience her husband had with
coffee. It seems that he had been usirg
It for some time and was an invalid.
The physician in charge shrew,.
suspected that coffee was the "World
at the root of the tree,” and ordered it
discontinued with instructions to u
Postum regularly in Its place.
The wife says: “We found that Vf:i’
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have gladly
paid a hundred times the amount of t
doctor’s charge when we found he 1
wise his judgment was.
“The use of Postum instead of cofh ■
was begun about a year ago, and it ha •
made my husband a strong, well mar
He has gained thirty-five pounds in
that time and his stomach and hear*
trouble have all disappeared.
"We never tire of telling our friend
of the benefit we have received from
leaving off coffee and using Postum Jn
Its place.” Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich.
