know how to express myself in speak
ing of the great good that Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, did me,
I was almost dead last July when I
commenced taking Cardui. .1 was
weak and nervous; without any appe
tite, and even without courage. 1
could hardly walk from the dining
room to the kitchen without /tilting
down, and I had about given "up all
hope.
And then, I saw Cardui advertised
in a paper, and I said it was the very
thing I needed. So, [ got a bottle,
and It relieved me in less time than
a week. When I had taken three hot
ties, I felt like a new person.
Please publish this letter so that
other people may see how Cardui
helped me after I was almost dead.”
Cardui goes to the weak spots and
helps to make them strong It arts

for tired, nervous, Irritable women,
who feel us If every thing were wrong,
Hnd need something to quiet their

Daria Smirnova, a Peasant
Woman, on Trial for Swind

Who Believed in Her.
St. Petersburg Darla. Smirnova, a
pennant woman, la on trial here for

| lleved In her wild fantasies
With her are being tried two accom
plices, Peter Smirnoff, her son, and'
Denis Shemeteff. The proceedings
are secret, but remarkable details of
her operations are being published
It appears that Darla Imd since
1901, when she settled In a village
cloae to Okhta, one of St. Petersburg's
suburbs, been giving herself out as
Hod's mother, sent down to earth hy
<lod to re veil tp sinning mankind new
truth and bring them new salvation.
"Okhta God'a Mother.”
In spite or the proximity of the cap
ital. she succeeded In Imposing upon
» vast multitude of common people,
"tnl so great became the fame of the
"Okhta God’s mother," as she was
blasphcmeouslv called, that disciples
would flock to her even from distant
firm Inees.
At first her husband Was In nllanee

drove him away, and It was he who

Sit on Cushions.
With St Peter on one hand, and
King Solomon on the other, ahe would
seat herself on cushions In Ihe middle
of a room, surrounded by her folow
ers. and set out her tenets, which were
a strange mixture of common-life mo
rality, such as the godliness of sobrie
ty and of personal honesty, with the
most equivocal superstitions, remind
ful of the rites of Astarte.
She would hold forth sgalnst the
established Orthodox Church. In
which she saw the Incarnation
of the devil, and preach, In spite
of her own example to the contrary,
the virtues of ceilbacy. Many unu
unsavory details about her rites are

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GAr
Hon. I. S. Peebles Made Very Able
Memorial Day Address at Millen
Augustan Spoke to a Large Number of People and His Ad
dress Was Enthusiastically Received By the People of
Jenkins County.
Millan, Ga.—Hon. I. S. Peebles, Jr„
of the Augusta bar, on Friday last de
livered a very eloquent and able rrte
rnorial address at the .Vlillen, Ga.,
courthouse, under the auspices of the
Daughters of the Confederacy of that
place.
Quite a number of prominent Au
gustana were present upon this occa
sion. and have furnished glowing ac
counts of the hospitality of the people
of Jenkins county, of the most excel
lent barbecue that was served after
the memorial exercises, and the most
favorable Impression made by Mr.
Peebles’ forceful and Impressive ora
I tion.
| The speaker was masterful in hi 3
defense of the South s position, basing
his argument on constitutional
grounds. demonstrating that the
South did not fight for the perpetu
ation of slavery, but In defense of her
constitutional rights.
Mr. Peebles concluded his address
as follows:
"Sever was there a more inspiring
picture than was presented by the
South In 1861. Upon every village
green could be heard the sound of the
fife and the tattoo of the drum, call
ing together the manhood of the South
to hurl hack the Invaders who hail
dared place their feet upon Southern
soil. The fairest and noblest woman
hood that ever graced any people, in
any clime, gave to the youthful sol
dier some little keepsake to wear close
to his heart amid she carnage of bat
tle. Fond mothers and loving sweet
hearts whispered words of love and
cheer In their ears, and wished them
God speed upon th»ir noble mission. I
daresay there has never been a good
deed done, a beautiful thought ex
pressed, a noble Ideal realized, and
thus given form and expression, that
some noble woman did not furnish
the inspiration.
"The sons of the South were not
lucking in this respect. I have read
of the women of Carthage—of Imw
they made bow strings from their
beautiful tresses with which to repel
their Homan Invaders, but the women
of the South took their very heart
strings and wove them Into a stal
wart soldiery to battle for the south.
"The flower of the South’s manhood
were inarching to the martial strains
pf Dixie beneath the stars and bars.
Never did a more splendid set of pa
triots rush to their country’s* stand
ards. imbued with a higher concep
tion of duty or a deeper and nobler
fidelity to principle. The verdict of
posterity will be:
“’They were the knightliest of the
knightly race.
That since the days of old,
Have kept the lamp of chivalry
Alight In hearts of gold.’
"When do men, numerically inferior,
face the cafmige of Franklyn or Fred
ericksburg, Cold Harbor or Gettys

burg, unless they possess the highest
degree of physical courage and the
deepest realization of the justness of
their position upon the moral Issues
Involved? When do they charge up
Cemetery Ridge or hurl themselves
into the Bloody Angle, unless imbued
with the highest sense of duty and
the deepest possible devotion to prin
ciple? Such valor requires a degree
of patriotism that Is unexcelled in the
annals of warfare, and was made pos
sible only because ’Thrice armed is
he who had his quarrel just.’
"The winsome and noble womanhood
of the South, true patriots that they
were, gladly, yet sorrowfully, placed
upon the altar of their country their
husbands and their sweethearts. The
buckling on the knight’s armor by
his lady's hand was not a mere ca
price of romantic fashion, for, as Rus
kin says: ‘lt Is the type of an eternal
truth; that the soul's armor is never
well set to the heart unless a woman's
hand has braced it; and it is only
when she braces it loosely that the
honor of manhood falls.’ It was be
cause the fairest and noblest woman
hood of song or story braced your
soul's armor to your hearts most
firmly that you were enabled to dis
play during those four long years a
courage that won for the South the
greatest possible renown for Us valor,
and for yourselves imperishable names
upon the scroll of fame! And it is
because this same fair womanhood
realizes so fully that you wore your
soul’s armor most worthily, even
though through fearful odds, all seem
ed lost, save honor, that she delights
to show her unchangliTß faith in your
fidelity and valor by decorating you
with the Southern Cross of Honor,
symbolic In Its Imperishable bronze of
your unfaltering courage, and of her
undying reverence and love.
"It is a glorious privilege to have
followed Johnson and Jackson, Gordon
and Uep. Never did a cause develop
greater leaders or graver soldiers of
the line. And never was an army
dominated by such a love for Its lead
ers as characterized your devotion to
Uee. It Is related that a surgeon was
upon one occasion performing an op
eration near the heart upon a member
of the Imperial guard. His assistant
remarked: 'Doctor, If you will cut a
little deeper you will find Napoleon.’
There was not a heart in the Confede
rate army that did not worship the
beauty and the grandeur and splendor
of the character of Lee. And so im
plicitly did you trust him, that you
would, at his command, go Into the
very jaws of death. As has been truly
said: 'Many a man is great In victory;
greater In death; few are greatest in
defeat.' Of that few was Lee.
"Heroes of the sixties, 1 sometimes
think If the nineteenth century had
produced nothing of lasting benefit to
humanity other than the life and char
acter of your peerless chieftain, .Rob-
ert E. Lee, that that period would
stand out most conspicuously upon
the cycles of time! Couple your deeds
and those of your comrades to his
achievements, and no century record
ed upon the pages of man’s history
can excel in noble endeavor and pa
triotic excellence! Were you to elimi
nate these from the annals of time,
it would be like removing the warp
from some beautiful fabric.
“The carnage of battle was over,
the last tattoo of the drum was heard.
The Stars and which the Con
federate soldier had followed so gal
lantly over so many sanguinary fields
and implanted upon seemingly im
pregnable ramparts, was furled for
ever at Appomattox. But the princi
ples for which you fought will live
on forever. For
“’I know that the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space,
A prize for that spent runner,
Who barely lost the race;
For the plan would be imperfect,
Unless it held some sphere,
To pay for the toil and talent
And love that are wasted here.’
"Some of the soldiers of the Confed
eracy had enlisted from magnificent
mansions, situated among beautiful
oaks and sweet scented magnolias:
others from little log huts, with noth
ing to shield them from the rays of
the scorching sun. But they all re
turned to find for theJr roofs nothing
but the canopies of heaven; their pil
lows upon which to rest their weary
heads, nothing but stones fashioned
by the ages; for bread with which
to appease their hunger, nothing but
the proverbial husks of the prodigal
son; but amid all of this, these men
of heroic mould were undaunted, and
turned their swords into plowshares
and soon made a desert to blossom
as the rose.
And when, during the gloomy days
of reconstruction, Angle-Saxon domi
nation was threatened and govern
ment from without, supported by fede
ral bayonets, was attempted to be
thrust upon you, you hurled back the
aggressors and, through your determi
nation and valor, preserved to poster
ity local self government.
"The remnant of your gallant batid
is now looking upon the sunset side
of life, and it will be but a few years
at most until you will ‘cross over
the river and rest under the shade of
the trees,’ with Jackson and with Lee.
But when your duty is done, when
your work of life Is finished here,
when the gold of evening meets the
dusk of night, beneath the silent stars,
you and your comrades shall not be
fo;-gotten;
“ ‘Nor shall your glory be forgot,
While fame her record keeps.
For honor points the hallowed spot,
Where valor proudly sleeps.’ ’’

How to Save
Your Eyes
Try This Free Prescription.
Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of people wear these
“windows" who m*ght easily dispense
with them. You may be one of these,
and it is your duty to save your eyes
before it is too late. The eyes are neg
lected more than any other organ of the
entire body. After you day’s
work you sit flown and rest your mus
cles. but how about your eyes? Do you
rest them? You know you do not. You
read or do something else that keeps
your eyes busy; you work your eyes un
til you go to bed. That is why so many
have strained eyes and finally other eyo
troubles that threaten partial or total
blindness. Eyeglasses are merely
crutches; they never cure. This free pre
scription, which has benefited the eyes of
so manv, may work equal wonders for
you. Use it a short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as if
by magic? Trv this prescription. Go
to the nearest wideaw’ake drug store and
get a bottle of Optona tablets; fill a
two-ounce bottle with warm water, drop
in one tablet and abow it to thorough
ly dissolve. With this liquid bathe ths
eyes two to four times daily. Just note
how quickly your eyes clear up and how
soon the inflammation will disappear.
Don’t .be afraid to use it; it is abso
lutely harmless. Many who are now blind
might have saved their eves had thev
started to care for them in time. This
is a simple treatment, but marvelously
effective in multitudes of cases. Now
that you have been warned don’t delay
a day, but do what you can to save your
*>ves and you are likely to thank us as
long ns you live for publishing this pre
scription.
