Feeding for
Egg Production
Feeds and methods of feeding have a groat
bearing on egg production.
Clean wholesome food of the right kind
and variety and proper rations must be given
if the hens are expected to lay. Exercise and
fresh water are also essential.
In fart, hens are very sensitive to their
treatment and environment from an egg-lav
ing point of view, and the poultryman who
wants profits will look carefully to this end
of his business. Read next week’s article on
the subject, appearing exclusively on Monday
in The Herald.

GREAT HELP TO
I A SICK WOMAN
This Lady Says, “I Cannot
Find Words To Express
How Thankful I Am
To Cardui.”
Jonesvllle, Va.—“l certainly appre
ciate what Cardui, the woman’s tonic,
has done for me,” writes Mrs. Owen
F. Wells, of this town. "Before I be
gan to take Cardui, 1 could hardly go
about. I had several womanly trou
bles, which caused me much suffer
ing, and were very troublesome. But
now I feel like a different person.
I had often read of Cardui, hut had
little faith In It. My husband urged
me to try It, and now 1 cannot find
words to express how thankful I am.
Cardui Is a wonderful medicine and I
feel that It w: s a greater help than
anything 1 could have taken.
I had scarcely no pain or suffering
at childbirth, and I feel I owe It all to
Cardui. I know that no woman would
make a mistake In using Cardui at
that, most critical time. It will save
them so much suffering.
It Is my sincere desire that this
statement may be seen and read by
all sufferers who suffer as I did. I
am telling all my friends and ac
quaintances of the great cure I have
received."
If you suffer from any of the ail
ments so common to women, give
Cardui a trial. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, to tell of the
great benefit that Cardui has been to
them. Why shouldn't It help you, too?

FOB IIS LIFE,
TOO,’ LEO FRANK
Another Statement Issued By
Condemned Man---Innocence
Reiterated-- Says Jim Conley
is Guilty.
Atlanta, Ga.—Lfo M. Frank, under
«pntenr*e of death for the murder here
In April, 1913, of Mary I'hagan. ha*
given out a statement to the public de
claring hi* Innocence of the crime and
reviewing the circumstances surround
ing hi* trial and the legal step* taken
to obtain for him a rehearing or the
setting aside of the verdict.
Frank * statement was issued from hi*
cell In the Fulton county Jail, whore he
ha* been confined since hi* arrest sev
eral day* following the discovery of
Mary Pliagan's body in the basement
of the pencil factory of which Frank
was superintendent. He declared he
L»«* been “prosecuted wrongfully and
grotesquely for a crime of which I have
no knowledge'* and mentioned that in all
tjne stops taken for a new trial the ques
tion of his guilt rfi Innocence has never
been reviewed by the highert courts, but
• mly the legality of the proceedings have
been considered.
The Statement,
Commenting upon the conditons and
circumstances surrounding Ms trial In
Atlanta in July and August, 1913, the
prisoner In his statement says:
“The Jurors heard the ‘demonstrations
both within and without the courtroom,
the applause when the prosecution scored
a point, the dl*aproval when the defense
won a point; they saw the chief of At
lanta police and the colonel of the mili
tia In conference with the Judge. ' Con
tinuing the statement reads:
“Ls those conditions which obtained
constitute a legal Judicial trial, If the
Issue of life and death could he rea
sonably presumed to be faithfully con
sidered in Htich an atmosphere- then Hod
help *ll of us! xxx Consider the twelve
Jurors, they were on trial too; their very
lives hung In the balance.”
On Day of Murder.
The statement relates briefly the ac
tions of Frank on the day the murder
was committed and the prisoner then
turns to a vigorous denunciation of
Janies Conley, a negro, who was em
ployed as a sweeper st the pencil fac
tory. and who was the prosecution’s
principal witness. Conley now is serv
ing a year’s prison sentence upon con
viction last February as an accessory
after the fact to the Phagan girl’s mur
der.
“It was not shown,” the statement de
clares. “that Jim Conley, who had a
long police court record had neither the
motive to conceive the crime nor the
opportunity to cimmlt it. x x x Hefore
you can take this negro's word, he must
show that he himself is innocent.”
Frank closes his statement with reit
eration of his declarations of his own
Innocence and with further charges
against the veracity of Conley.

The Fight That Never Ends
The Silent, Desperate Battle, the Broken Hearts, the
Tortured Souls, THE HELL OF WHISKEY.
Copyright, 1914, by Htar Company.
THE SILENT BATTLE
No blare of bugle, no martial music to inspire this
poor devil as he fights his long and weary battle with
whiskey three hundred and sixty-five days out of every
year. C. M.
We have printed nearly a thousand pictures of whiskey,
the liquid devil. This perhaps is the best, because it is the
simplest of them all.
This is the battle that began when man first learned to
make alcohol---the battle that some have won, that millions
have lost.
It is a battle fought under almost every roof. In each
case it is the battle of one unfortunate soul against over
whelming odds.
Cruel is the world’s attitude toward this man at the
bar.
Those that scorn him are often his inferiors. Never have
they made the desperate struggle that he has made---even
though he may have gone down to defeat.
“But for the grace of God there lies John Wesley,”
said the great preacher, pointing to the drunkard in the gut
ter.
In Lecky’s admirable history of European Morals he
points out the fact that the great trouble with those that
preach temperance is their stupid ignorance of that which
they are discussing, and especially their ignorance of whis
key’s power.
Men say to the victim of whiskey: “Why don’t you
stop? Why don’t you throw it off? Why don’t you be holy
and good like me?”
If you saw a miserable Belgian peasant with a bayonet
sticking in his throat, pinning him to the ground, would you
say to him, “Why don’t you throw it off? Why don’t you
be free?”
No, you would pity him, condole with him, help him.
And so should you deal with the victims of the long,
silent battle---men with tortured spirit and aching nerves
fighting against whiskey’s power.
Many a man has learned, as this man learns, in
trembling irresolution.
What goes on in that mind you cannot know if you are
free from the curse.
It is not for you to criticize those that are killed in
battle, by bullets or by alcohol.
But it IS your duty to fight against the brutality that
permits war on the battlefield.
And it is your duty to fight against the brutality that
permits murder by the whiskey barrel.
Blame those that caused the war, not the victims.
Blame those that make and permit the making of
whiskey, NOT THE VICTIM.

When you have made a call

The old way of shouting
“Hello” is ungraceful and is

This up-to-date way of an
