    TWO WOMEN
SAVED FROM
OPERATIONS
By Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound—Their
Own Stories Here Told.
Beatrice, Neb. — “ Just after my mar
riage my left side began to pain me and
the pain got so aevere at times that I
Buffered terribly with it I visited three
doctors and each one wanted to operate
on me but I would not consent to an op
eration. I heard of the good Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was
doing for others and I used several bot
tles of it with the result that I haven’t
been bothered with my side since then.
I am in good health and I have two little
girls. ”-Mrs. R. B. Child, Beatrice, Neb.
The Other Case.
Cary, Maine. - “ I feel it a duty I owe
to all suffering women to tell what Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did
for me. One year ago I found myself a
terrible sufferer. I had pains in both
aides and such a soreness I could scarcely
straighten up at times. My back ached,
I had no appetite and was so nervous I
could not sleep, then I would be so tired
mornings that I could scarcely get
around. It seemed almost impossible
to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would be any better
until I submitted to an operation, but
my husband thought I had better write
to you and I did so, stating my symp
toms. I commenced taking Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
soon felt like a new woman. I had no
pains, slept well, had good appetite and
could do almost all my own work for a
family of four. I shall always feel that
I owe my good health to your Vegetable
Compound.”—Mrs. Hayward Sowers,

The Reign of Woman.
Women will serve as public porters
and dining car waiters on the special
train which is to carry the Illinois
suffragists to the Washington parade,
and except for the train crew and sol
itary man to shine shoes it will be an
example of feminized railway trans
portation. The male shoeblack
prompts masculine reflections on the
new dispensation. But mere man
may take heart. The time is still re
mote when there will be women at lo
comotive throttles or in the more re
sponsible posts in railroad operation.

STRENGTH
Without Overloading The Stomach.
The business man, especially, needs
food in the morning that will not over
load the stomach, but give mental
vigor for the day.
Much depends on the start a man
gets each day, as to how he may ex
pect to accomplish the work on hand.
He can't be alert, with a heavy,
friod-meat-and-potatoes breakfast re
♦ quiring a lot of vital energy in di
gesting it.
A Calif, business man tried to find
some food combination that would not
overload the stomach in the morning,
jbut that would produce energy.
He writes:
"For years I was unable to And a
breakfast food that had nutrition
enough to sustain a business man with
out overloading his stomach, causing
indigestion and kindred ailments.
"Being a very busy and also a very
nervous man, I decided to give up
breakfast altogether. But luckily I
•was induced to try Grape-Nuts.
"Since that morning I have been a
new man; can work without tiring,
my head is clear and my nerves strong
and quiet.
“I find four teaspoonfuls of Grape-
Nuts with one of sugar and a small
quantity of cold milk, is delicious as
the cereal part of the morning meal,

MS OF GEORGIA
IN BAD CONDITION
GEORGIA BADLY NEEDS A STATE
OFFICIAL TO INSPECT
HER JAILS.
JAIL INSPECTOR ADVOCATED
Complaint Filed With the Governor
and Prison Commission in Re
gard to Their Condition.
—Atlanta.
That Georgia is seriously in need of
an inspector of jails is the opinion
of people who have traveled about
over the state and have observed
conditions in many of the county jails.
Complaints come to the governor
and the prison department from time
tq time about the conditions in this
or that county jail. Revelations are
often a bit horrifying, but there is no
law authorizing either the governor
or the commission to interfere in any
way with the local or county jails.
The question of a state jail inspec
tor, working under direction of either
the governor or the prison commis
sion, has been advocated for the past
few years by members of the com
mission and some others who know of
conditions.
The condemnation of the way many
jails are Tun is not sweeping or in
tended as an indictment of all of
them, for in quite a number of coun
ties the jails are clean, well kept and
prisoners are treated with humane
consideration.
But unfortunately It. is true that
some jails arc foul, ill-kept and al
most bestial In their conditions. 'Good
and true men testify to this fact, and
the complaints of prisoners are not
altogether relied on for evidence
along this line.
It is .probable that a bill will be in
troduced this summer to either pro
vide for a regular inspection of jails,
with power to make reports and rec
ommendations for improving condi
tions, or else authority will be vest
ed I nthe convict inspectors now em
ployed under the prison commission.
It is understood that all of the com
missioners favor state supervision of
jails, and Governor Brown himself
has said It. might prove desirable.
Condition of State’s Finances.
Legislators In Atlanta on business
and looking forward to the summer
session of the assembly, seem to be
unanimously agreed that the bis prob
lem facing that body and the Slaton
administration will be one of finances.
They realize that the assembly must
either authorize an Issue of over $3,-
000,000 in bonds to refund the bonded
indebtedness that becomes due in
1015, or must provide for a special
tax to retire that indebtedness. State
Treasurer W, J. Speer is now engaged
in preparing his annual report. This
document will simply state the situa
tion and will make no recommenda
tions one way of the other. While
making no recommendations, the
treasurer will put the situation
squarely up to the legislature. It will
show that the bonds, which will be
come due in 1915, will amount to ex
actly $3,679,000. Os this total $287,-
000 will come due in May 1915, and
$3,382,000 wilt become due in July of
that year. Mr. Speer's report will
also show that collections by the
state treasury are very poor, and that
as a result of these slow payments,
the distribution of pension money,
amounting to about $500,000, will be
seriously delayed. It is known that
Gov. Jno. M. Slaton is already devot
ing a large part of his time to a study
of the state s finances, and his mes
sage to the legislature, It is said, will
deal with the financial problems as
Ahe most serious that the state will
have to confront during his adminis
tration.
Railways Have Grieveance.
To increase the volume of the
mails nearly 30 per cent, by the par
cels post, and then to increase the
pay given the railroads for hauling it
by a paltry five per cent, would be
humorous if were not tragic, accord
ing to the expression of leading rail
road men here. The lower branch of
congress has adopted the conference
report on the postoffice appropriation
bill, accepting the senate provision
for five per cent. Increase in railway
man pay. The railroad men are ab
solutely dissatisfied with the arrange
ment. The five per cent., they say,
would not have been nearly enough
to cover the present deficiency even
if there had been no parcels post and
with the 25 to 30 per cent, parrels
post business piled on top of the bur
den the roads were already suffering
under, they are insisting even more
vigorously on some more adequate
relief. They feel that congress can
not eventually afford to offer them
anything less, and they insist that
the relief has got to come soon.
Valuable Relics In State Capitol,
The Georgia State Capitol like -the
national building at Washington, is
becoming more and more of a historic
museum. Its halls and corridors are
being gradually enriched with relics
and -trophies that make it a ’chief
point of interest to all who know the
history of the south. One of the
most recent additions to the front
niche, located in the southern end of
the capitol corridor, consists of five
flags carried by Georgia soldiers in
the Spanish-American was. These
flags are put there by Quartermaster
W. G. Obear, in compliance with a
legislative resolution. Two of these
flags were carried by the First Geor
gia Regiment, two by Second Regi
ment and one by the Third Regiment.
These are the first Spanish -American
flags to take their place along with
Georgia s battle torn banners of the
lost cause. Another valuable aquaisl
tion that will shortly adorn the walls
of the capitol corridors will be the
handsome painting of the late Howell
Cebb of Georgia, who was speaker of
the third congress during the years
1849-51. This portrait is donated to
the state by a special resolution of
the United States congress. Another
treasure at the capitol recently rescu
ed from oblivion, is the ancleht seal
of King George third, which was re
cently dug out of a musty con.er of
the secretary of state's office. When
found it looked more like an ancient
cake of butter or bees wax than any
thing else. It was a great round disk
an inch or more In thickness and
ponderous with Latin acclaims of God
and the king. This seal was placed
on an act of the general assembly in
colonial times. It bears the date of
1775.
Dignified South Georgia Judge.
Judge Thomas of Valdosta, who Is
holding superior court in Fulton couu
ty’s criminal division in place of
Judge L. S. Roan, is teaching Atlanta
lawyers manners as well as law. He
is very much opposed to a certain
free and easy atmosphere that has
prevailed in the local superior courts.
He Insists on the stiff dignity, such
as is usually preserved in federal
courts only. A prominent young At
lanta lawyer was strongly taken to
(ask a day or two ago for slitting on
he table while cross-questioning a
witness; ail lawyers who appear be
fore him must maintain the utmost
dignity of demeanor, and to laugh or
giggle in his court lays one liable to
be cited for contempt.
His Wife in the Mouth.
Whether a wife can obtain a di
vorce from her husband because he
knocked one of her teeth out will
soon be tested in the local court in
a suit of Mrs. Estelle Cobb against
Calhoun C. Cobb, a railway postal
clerk. Mrs. Cobb declares that her
husband knocked the tooth out with
his fist.
To Take the Lid Off.
Is Atlanta going to have a wide
open Sunday in the near future? The
question is one of the most important
new facing the city council. What
is meant, of course, is wide open so
far as Intrinsically harmless amuse
ments are concerned, such as motion
picture shows, theatres, base ball
and other outdoor sports, paid con
certs and the like. The liquor ques
tion does not enter into the proposi
tion at all. Nobody is in favor of
having beer saloons open on Sunday.
But there are several councilmen and
a number of leading citizens who
have been outspoken recently in ex
pression of the belief that Atlanta has
become too large and too cosmopoli
tan to have a Sunday that is absolu
tely "dead,'' so far as amusements
for the masses are concerned. They
point to the fact that the well-to-do
classes have their own clubs, tennis,
golf, antomobiling and other amuse
ments, while the great mass of peo
ple, working people particularly, have
absolutely no clean amusements on
Sunday.
Gentry Builds Beautiful Home,
Ths unique distinction of having
the largest front yard in Georgia, and
possibly in the whole United Slates,
will soon belong to W. T. Gentry, the
genial president of the Southern Bell
Telephone company. Himself a golf
enthusiast, Mr. Gentry has bought by
way of a building lot a magnificent
ten acre tract of land facing directly
on the golf links of the East Lake
Country Club. Mr. Gentry will not
only have his ten acre lawn, but the
whole five miles of sodded links in
addition. His home will be one of the
handsomest la the beautiful East
Lake section. It will be reached from
Atlanta through the wonderful drive
way that winds through Atlanta's
millionaire colony in Druid Hills. Mr.
Gentry is one of the number of rich
and prominent Atlantians who are
building this spring and summer in
that section.
Wife's Face No Place for Shoe.
It's ail right to throw old shoes at
a bride, but not at a wife, according
to the local divorce court. Mrs. Kate
Etheridge is about to obtain a separa
tion on the ground that her husband
biffed her on the side of the face with
one of his old hob-nailed No. Bs.
HER PUNISHMENT
VERY SEVERE
Mn. Chappell Says That Her Pun*
uhment for Five Tears Was
More than Anyone Could
Ever Tell.
Mt. Airy, N. C.—4n a letter from
this place, Mrs. Sarah M. Chappell
says: “I suffered for about 5 years
with womanly trouble, also stomach
trouble, and my punishment was more
than any one could ever tell.
Several doctors had treated me, and
I had tried most every kind of medi
cine I could think of, but none did me
any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the
woman's tonic, and I decided to try it.
I had not taken but about six bottles
until I was almost cured. It did me
more good than all the other medi
cines I had tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and I told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it."
Are you a woman? Do you suffer
i from any of the ailments due to worn- i
। anly trouble, such as sleeplessness. ,
nervousness, weakness, and that ever
! lastingly tired feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Car
i dui a trial. You have everything to
! gain, if it helps you, and we feel con- .
fldent it will help you. just as it has
i more than a million other women, in
! the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui today.
