'RAILWAYS OF SOUTH

ATLANTA, Ga. —Of striking signif

STATE’S EVIDENCE MAY
SAVE MRS. KABER
CLEVELAND Facte Introduced to
convict Mrs Eva Catherine Kaber of
the murder of her husband, may save
her.
Mrs Kaber ts the first to go on
trial for the murder of Dan Kab*r,
wealthy Lakewood publisher. In 1919.
He was found In his bed, stabbed
twenty-four timer; and died soon
after. Later developments showed he
also had been fed poison.
For two years the crime remained
a mystery. Then, through the efforts
••f Mdses Kaber. father of the slain
man, Mrs Kaber, her mother, Mrs.
Mary BrickeJ; her daughter. Marian
McArdlt; Mrs. Emma Colavito, alleg
ed "go-between"; and two men, Vit
toria Piaaelll and Salvatore Gala ac
cused of doing the actual stabbing,
were indicted.
The horriblenra* of the crime- -that
is why counsel for the state and for
tne accused woman watch keenly the
faces of the Jurors as the brutal story
is unto Med.
That Is why. occasionally, there
seems to be a slight radiation of hope
from Mrs. Kaber, even when the most
gruesome details of the crime are be
ing related from the witness stand.
"Insane from birth, Mra. Kaber was
men;illy Incompetent to distinguish
between a right and wrong at the

stated at the opening of the trial.
And soon the Jury must decide her
sanity
Will they believe the murder too
brutal, too foreign to woman’s gen
t • n'-ss to have been conceived and
perpetrated by any woman whose
mind was not unbalanced?
Will the testimony tending to show
that Mrs Kaber fed her husband
poison, and complacently watched
him suffering and dying before her
eyes, be the factor that will make the
Jury say "insane"?
Will the tale of the knife gashes In
her husband’s body, while he lay a
helpless invalid In bed, make the Jur
ors say, "A crazed woman only could
have been responsible for so brutal
a tragedy" ?
Many believe so. But there Is one
who watches and waits, unswayed by
claims of Insanity. He is Moses Ka
ber. father of the slain man and
Nemesis of Mrs. Kaber.
Through the two years when every
one else despaired of apprehending
the guilty parties, Kaber spent time
and fortune In the effort. And It was
through him that Mrs. Kaber and tl*e
others were arrested. 9
Now he sees justice near fruition

MONEY TODAY
Men Who Lack Bodily and Mental
Vigor, Who Are NERVOUS, Irrit
able and Easily Fatigued, Should
Not Fail to Read This—lt’s Not
the Smartest Man Who Al
ways Makes the Most Money.
A New York newspaper in a very
able editorial, says that it isn't the
gold case, the fancy chain or the
Jewels in a watch that make it go,
but that it is the MAIN SPRING.
With man It is the same as with a
watch —without the MAIN SPRING
you cannot go ahead. With it nothing
tan keep you back. It Is plenty of
iron in th*- blood that helps put the
iron will, the iron determination, the
"go ahead"—the main spring of suc
cess and money-making in man. "Men
of blood and Iron" have been the rul
ers of the world and captains of in
dustry of every age. Without iron,
your blood loses its power to change
food Into living cells and tissue and
nothing you eat does you the proper
amount of good—you do not get the
strength out of it, and therefore you
become weakened both in body and
mind. There are 30,000.000,000.000 red
blood corpuscles in your blood and
each one must have iron.
When you find yourself nervous,
weak, irritable and easily upset, do
not wait until you go all to pieces and
collapse in a state of nervous prostra
tion but take some organic iron like
Nuxated Iron at once to help enrich
your blood and revitalize your worn
out. exhausted nerves. Nuxated Iron
i» like the iron in your blood and like
the iron in spinach, lentils and ap
ples. It is so prepared that it is ready
for almost Immediate absorption and
assimilation by the blood, while some
physicians claim that metallic Iron,
which people usually take, is not ab
sorbed at all. Nuxafed Iron often in-

YOUR HELPLESSNESS HURTS
THE MOTHER AND BABY—
She is out of bed before the break of day.
She split* wood and draws water then
fires the stove and gets breakfast for the
farm.
Having milked and driven the cows to
pasture, she feeds the chickens and draws
more water (she lifts and carries a ton of
water a day) then strains and puts the
milk away.
, After washing <the dishes, sweeping the
house, filling the lamps and making the
beds, she gathers the eggs, churns, salts
the butter and puts it avay.
The churn cleaned, she gods to the fields
a while, to return to cook more food and
aerve another meal. The dishes washed
again, she makes, mends, washes and
Irons the clothes until time to see to the
cows and calves again.
After another milking, she fixes supper.
The dishes washed once more, she sews
beneath the reeking lamp, until sodden
with toil she goes to bed, to nurse through
the night the last of her babies, whose
fretful cries have added to the heartache
of the day.
She must neglect her children.
Your Legislature Should Have
the Power
To Help This Woman
She is on our farms.
Her head bows, her shoulders bend, her
back crooks and strains to produce great
Georgia’s agricultural wealth. When
this wife and mother breaks and falls be
neath her burdens, all Georgia suffers, as
well as the woman’s orphaned babies.
Your Constitution prevents your putting
your wate. powers to helping her.
Our undeveloped waterpowers, equal to
the labor of 25,834,200 men, thrown
away annually unused, is enough to lift
the load from every home and mother in
Georgia.
For less than SI.OO a day, $350 a year,
the Ontario farmar will get from the State
electricity enough to do the work of 240
men on his farm. For less than 31 cents
a day, sll2 a year, he may get enough to
do the work of 60 men.
Why light and power for the farm and
home in Ontario while darkness and drud
ery crushes the wives of farmers in
Georgia ?
$
Ontario’s Constitution, like that of many
States, enables her legislators to put her
water powers to work.
Your Constitution makes it impossible for
you to pass such laws, tharefore we do
not ask it.
We ask our Legislators only to let out
people go to the polls and vote whether or
not to amend the Constitution.
