"Manrlrakp" is the Biblical name of
what we call May Apple. Of the May
Apple, Encyclopaedia Britannlca de

“Mandrake or May Apple Root, a pop

preparations, hence ha* been called
•‘Vegetable Calomel.’'
Our arandslres used May Apple
Root, tea or powder as a I-ivcr Regu
lator. It has survived by virtue of its
merit as a starter of Bile. Our tore
fathers said: "It makes the Elver
act”—which is true In the sense that
H releases the Bile from the Elver.

DORSEY HAS A
SECRET CONFAB
In Conference With Frank
Juror. Burns Says He'll
Convince Solicitor.
Atlanta, Ga. —The news which leak
ed from the office of Solicitor Dorsey
yesterday that Dorsey had held a se
cret conference with Marcellus Joh
enning, a Juror In the Frank case, has
created wide speculation in camps of
both the prosecution and defense.
Horsey, when asked about the se
cret conference, had nothing to say.
He seemed surprised that It ha* be
come known, .lohennlng would not
talk, saying that he had merely bad
a few words with the solicitor. He
would not divulge the nature of their
conversation and aaked the reporter
to please not prfcss questions.
Solicitor’s Force Busy.
The solicitor's forces were busy Sun
day considering the amazing develop
ments from tlie defense during the
past few days. The letters that were
published Sunday morning, as well as
the affidavits in which Conley is al
leged to have confessed to Mary Pha
gan's murder, will he invesigated this
week.
Numerous witnesses were brought
to the solicitor's of I ire Friday and
Saturday for the purpose of making
affidavits, and he has accumulated a
inaas of evidence whicr will be used
in a vigorous opposition to the new
trial movement which the defense Is
making before Judge Hill.
Mr. Dorsey plans to hold secret all
evidence until the time of Its presen
tation to Judge Hill. The evidence
which he is believed to have obtained
from Juror Johenning is being guard
ed closely. He is also carefully
guarding numerous affidavits said to
have been made by witnesses who
have also made affidavits for the de
fense.
Will Convince Solicitor.
Detective Burns said Sunday that
there was no doubt that Conley was
guilty, and that. In due tome, he
would place before Solicitor Dorsey
tarts that, would convince the prose
cution that Frank was Innocent. One
of the strongest foundations for
Burns' statement Is the series of let
lers, which as the detective stated,
were written by Jim Conley.
These letters were revealed to
newspaper men, bui were too vile for
publication They are shot through
with Conley's lust for the negro wo
man to whom they were written.
Burns says he has also come in pos j
session of numerous letters from
other sources which were written by j
the convicted accomplice.
A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
FROM SERIOUS INJURY
I i
Families of A. J. Allen and
Robt. Smith in Auto Accident
Sunday on Dean Bridge Road
A seven-passenger Thomas automo
bile occupied by Mr. and Mra. A J.
Allen, their two children, Annie, 13,
and Arthur, 3, and Mr. and Mrs.
Hubert Smith and their young son,
Robert. .Ir , left the Dean Bridge Road
late yesterlay afternoon and dashed
Into a tree near the same spot where
the accident to i>r Whitiaw's auto
mobile occurred some time ago, cost
ing a life.
The machine was running at a slow
rate of speed and as the accident
pened at the loot of a hill, the brakes
were on While all of the occupants '
were thrown out of the car except one
of the children, none was seriously
hurt. Mrs Allen and Mtb. Smith
I were probably bruised more than the
others. The machine was not badly
wrecked.
Mrs. Allen stated this morning that
she does not understand how all of
them came out with as few Injuries
a sthere were.
The account of how the accident
occurred Is that Mr. Allen attempted
to steer the car away from a gulley
and in some manner the machine
became uncontrollable. It Is not
known yet whether the steering gear
broke or not. The automobile plung
ed down the embankment on one si la
of the roadway and struck the tree,
but did not turn over.

The Nesco
Perfect Refrigerator
To keep fresh food in flood condition is a ques
tion everybody meets very frequently. Sometimes it
is the housewife, sometimes the bachelor man or
bachelor qirl; then the outinq trip in automobile or
yacht.
It is easy enough to do when there are unlimit
ed means and plenty of space available. But in
these days of intensification of effort and concentra
tion of space, other provision must be made. Hence,
the Nesco Perfect Refrigerator.
A convenient sized metal case with side handles
so that it can be easily moved from one place to
another.
