M£ Creary’s 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.

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. promised to divorce bis wife and mar ry her.
