We cannot all start life with the advantages of money, but every child born is entitled to the heritage of good health. Through unfortunate ignorance or carelessness in the feed ing of a baby its tiny stomach may become deranged. The disorder spreads to the bowels and before the mother realizes it the two chief or gans on which the infant’s comfort and health depend are causing it great suffering. If the condition is allowed to continue grave ailments often re sult. There is, however, no occasion for alarm, and the sensible thing to do— but it should be done instantly—is to give baby a small dose of a mild laxative-tonic. In the opinion of a great many people, among them such well-known persons as the parents of Ber>' | Lee Woodard, 3 years old, of MouKvfc, Ga., the proper remedy is Dr. C»» well’s Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. I. N. Woodard says that little Bertha was troubled with constipation for over a year, and that after trying several different kinds of remedies she found her relief in Syrup Pepsin. It is a ndld, pleasant-tasting laxative, which every person likes, does not gripe nor cramp, and contains that most excel lent of all digestants, pepsin. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is espe cially intended for infants, children, women, old people and all others to whom harsh cathartics, salt waters, pills, etc., are distressing.

Atlanta, Ga.—At the continuation of the extraordinary motion for new trial for Loo M. Frank before .lud&'o Benjamin H. Mill Monday, Solicitor Dorsey made a sensational counter showing against the granting of the motion. The solicitor attacked the Frank motion at many points. Ho read to the court an affidavit from Ruth Rob inson. charging that the affidavit sub mitted by the defense as coming from her and supposed to have been wit nessed by C. Y\. Burke, special inves tigator, was a forgery. Suniiel A. Par dee und W. B. Green offered affida vits declaring the testimony given by them to the defense, in which they claimed to have seen Frank at the corner of Whitehall and Alabama streets between 1:03 and 1:05 on the day of the tragedy, whs a mistake. They declared they wor at Walton and Broad streets at 12:30 o’clock, and that, they had come to this point from Whitehall and Alabama. Mary Rich, colored, declared in an affidavit that she had never given any testimony to the effect that she had seen Conley come out of the alley be hind the pencil factory at 2:15 o’clock on the day of the tragedy and that the first she heard of any such claim was when she read a story about it in tlie newspapers. Offered Money to Leave. Helen Ferguson declared in an af fidavit read by the solicitor that she had been offered one hundred dollars to leave town and that repeated ef forts had been made by .Jimmie Wrenn, masquerading as a Mr. How ard, to get her to repudiate her tes timony given during the Frank trial. She told a detailed story of how Wrenn, alias Howard, had made love to her and offered to marry her but always insisted that she make an af fidavit in the Frank case. C. B. Dalton, who returned to the city Monday, gave a sensationalv affi davit which was submitted to' the court, in which he swore hi? had made his repudiation of his testimony at Frank's trial in Fort Myers, Fla., at the suggestion of C. \\ . Burke, and on the promise of Burke that he would be paid SIOO and given railroad fare back to Atlanta. He alleged that af ter he had made his repudiating state ment, Burke failed to pay him. Dal ton, in his latest affidavits, reaffirms the testimony which he gave against Frank at his trial and . dels many new details to his story. He declares he did see Frank in his office with girls; that he had frequently seen Frank go back into the factory with women; that he, Dalton, had bought beer for Frank and his companions and that Frank was the first person to tell him about a cot in the basement. Order Blank Claim. The defense's claim that the order blanks on which the murder notes were written must have come from the basement was attacked by the solicitor through the affidavit of Philip Chambers, of 18 Warner avenue, a former office hoy of Frank. Cham bers swore that he worked at the fac tory when H. F. Becker was master mechanic there and had an office on the top floor. He swore that when Becker left the factory his desk was brought to Frank’s office and that Frank l.lmself took the desk and gave his own desk to Darley. He swore that all of the papers, hooks, order blanks and car bon copies of blanks that had been in Becker’s possession were placed in the supply room adjoining Frank’s office; that none of these papers were carried to the basement; that, in fact, no trash was allowed to remain in the basement, hut was immediately burned. Made Photos. R. M. Devore, a photographer, gave an affidavit to the effect that lie had made photographs of the murder notes and that in his opinion the sericl num ber on the order blanks on which one of the notes was written was 1818 and not 1018, as claimed by the defense. A sensational affidavit was read trom (\ B. Ragsdale in which the min ister told a detailed story of how. as hr claimed, he had made the afft davit which he gave to Frank’s de fense at the suggestion of Arthur Fwm'.'waßßßrr i* iiKiinrili n ■ n - fEEMIii Teethina (Teething Powders) is tha orifffna! prescription of Dr. C. .1.

Ragsdale repudiated the affidavit he gave to the defense and declared that It was false and a frame-up. * Judge Hill took an order during the morning, that unless Annie Maude Carter, to whom Jim Conley is al leged to have written a large number of letters, which Detective Burns claims prove him to he a pervert, was produced within five days her evidence would not b * considered tiy the court.
