THE EARLY PIE FRUIT.
The common species of rhubarb. var.
iously known as pie-plant, wine-plant
and monk rhubarb, Is used as a fruit,
though in reality it is a vegetable, or
rather the stalk or petiole of the leaf
The particular value of this common
variety is not, as many suppose, on ac-
count of its medical properties. The
root of the rheum palmatum, called
turkey rhubarb is the variety used for
medical purposes, this is procured by
the Russians at Kiachita, from the
Chinese. ~.
The chief recommendation for the
common garden varieties, is the very
early appearance in the Spring even in
the northern latitudes. 1t comes long
before any other native fruits and at
a time when there is a desire for
something sour" which seems the
natural outcome of the diet of rich
meats. heavy sweets and general feast.
| ing which is the common order of the
winter season.
| The sour ,aste of the rhubarb is due
to oNalic acid, or rather to acid oxalate
of potash. This is found in sorrel and
to a slight extent in tomatoes. This
acid is less wholesome than other fruit
acids, and the rhubarb like the sorrel.
should not be eaten alone on account
of this strong acid.

happy mother, watching her children grow
into manhood and womanhood A mother
lives as many lives as she has children
their joys and sorows are hers. as are
their ambitions, triumphs and defeats.
So highly is the honor Of motherhood
cherished that sometimes noble women are
called upon 10 give their lives in its attain
ment. The women who suffer in child
birth and from the effects Of miscarriage
are tho real martyrs. It takes more forti-
tude to suffer in this way than to meet
a violent death in the rush and roar Of a
battle. But such suffering is almost en-
tirely unnecessary at this age Of the world,
when Wine Of Cardui, the medicine that
cured Mrs. Unrath, Of Benton Harbor,
Mich, can be secured.
Healthy women do not suffer miscarriage
nor does woman who is healthy suffer
tortures at childbirth It is the woman
who is ailing-who has female weakness
who fears the ordeal Of becoming a mother.
Wine Of Cardui builds up the womanly in
the woman. 1t stops all unnatural drains
and strains-irregularities which are re-
sponsible for barrenness and miscarriage.
1t makes woman strong and healthy and

birth with little suffering. After the
ordeal is passed the Wine prepares a wo-
man for speedy recovery TO health and

Mrs. G. r. Wooding. Of indianapolis,

by using Wine Of Cardui. She writes,
"I have received great benefit from taking

ones. think 1t makes the babies healthier
for me to take 1t. ! seem to get through
childbirth better by Using 1t too"
With these facts that Mrs. Unrath and
Mrs. Wooding lay before the women Of
America no one who is about TO become
mother can afford to fail to take the Wine
Of Cardui treatment. Wine Of Cardui, in
reinforcing the organs of generation, has
made mothers of women who had given
up hope of ever becoming mothers. Wins
Of Cardui will cure almost any case Of bar
renness except those cases Of organic trou-
bic which no doctor or medicine can pos
sibly cure. How can you refuse TO take
such remedy that promises such relief
from suffering Wine Of Cardui simply
makes you strong woman, and strong,
healthy women do not suffer. They look
forward to motherhood with Joy.

M'ALp1NE PRELIMINARY TRIAL
Adjournment Taken After Three
 Witnesses Were Examined.

Will McAlpine was arraigned before Justice R. H. Jones yesterday afternoon on the charge of murder for the part he took in the killing of Henry Cotton: the latter part of December. After three witnesses had been examined the trial was adjourned until next Tuesday.
 The evidence secured from the three witnesses who were examined was to the effect that Will McAlpine. Charles Washington and Henry Candler. all negroes. were playing dominoes in the rear of Newstel's bar on Monroe Street. Henry Cotton was keeping the score. Cotton made a remark to McAipine and fight started. Cotton seized bottle and threw it at McAlpine who dodsed. the bottle striking him on ths shoulder. In throwing the bottle Gotten fell to the floor and McAipine sprang upon him with an open knife in his hand and stabbed him repeatedly. After this McAlpine ran through the door and escaped Cotton attempted to follow, but after staggering a few steps he fell from weakness. He died a few hours later. McAlpine left Montgomery and went to Birmingham. where he was arrested four months after the death of Cotton.
