Do You Drink lt7

A minister's wife had quite tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty,
l became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep there was little to 90 except
make the rounds. and it was quite
natural that l should want hot cup
of coffee about that time. / could
keep awake better.
After three of four years Of cof-
fee drinking, became nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for q
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack. of the coffee drug,
but | liked the taste of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev-
erage all right.
Finally / began to feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. Aft
er a years use of Postum | now feel
like a new woman-have not had any
bilious attacks since left off coffee"

Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well

BELIEVES FRANK INNOCENT
Attorney For conIey The Negro
Sweeper, Changes His Mind

Attorney For conIey, The Negro
Sweeper, Changes His Mind
Atlanta--Attorney William M. Smith,
counsel for Jim Conley, who stat
ed that he believed Leo M. Frank
innocent of the murder of Mary Phagan,
created the newest Frank case sensa-
ton, has issued a public statement
in which he explains his change of
opinion.
He attributes it to constant and ex-
haustive study of the case, in which
he catalogued, card-indexed and filed
for research purposes huge volumes of
Frank evidence. In this he was aided
by his wife, who had never fixed a
definite belief in the famous case, and
who was instrumental in influencing
her husband to the changed attitude.
In his latest card, Mr.. Smith de-
clares that he had always felt a GER
tain amount of suspicion toward his
client, and that there were many mys-
terious angles of the negroes connec-
ton with the crime which are still I'M
explained to his personal satisfaction.
He explains his delay in making pub
lie his opinion because Of the short
length of time that has lapsed since he
severed all connection with Conley as
legal counsel.

MUST REDUCE COTTON CROP
GOVERNORS AND coN6REssMEN
FROM COTTON STATES HOLD
MEETING fS WASHINGTON
But Nothing Definite Accomplished.
All Agree, However, Crop Must
Be Reduced

Washington, D. C-Southern COVER
nors and members of congress decid-
&c that the Southern cotton crop must
be materially reduced next year.
How this is to be brought about was
not decided, but those attending the
conference pledged themselves to use
every legitimate means to bring this
about and thus steady the cotton mar
ket. Members of congress wanted the
states to act. The state executives said
the question was one for congress to
handle.
No tax measure of any sort was
raised. Southern senators and repre-
sentatives said it would be most diff
cult to get tax bill through congress,
as the representatives from other sec
tions would oppose the bill; New Eng
land because it might mean greatly in
creased prices for cotton, and the West
because the South would not only
cease to buy grain from the West,
but would compete with 1t in new mar
kets.
States Laws Will Be impossible
The governors demurred and ex-
planned that special sessions of their
state legislatures and possibly consti-
tutional conventions must be held to
enable the states to levy such tax.
The delays thus effected would make
the relief come too late to be of prac-
teal help, they said.
Federal legislation, to enable cotton
producers to secure loans of public
money at reasonable rates of interest,
was also raised. The Henry bill,
which provides for an issue of $780,
100000 currency to buy cotton, was
not Endorsed.
Remedies That Were Suggested
Here are the remedies urged by the
joint conference;
A reduction Of cotton acreage next
year.
Federal legislation to enable farmers
to secure loans at reasonable interest
rates.
A government commission to look
into the extension of the consumption.
and making Of cotton goods.
Passage by the house of the bill to
admit state banks to membership in
national currency associations under
the Vreeland-Aldrich bill, without pay
ing the 10 per cent tax on state bank
note issues.
An inquiry by the department of
justice into the alleged conspiracy to
depress the price of cotton seed.
Passage by the house of the senate
cotton warehouse bill.

German Women Give Gold

Rome-The women of Germany,
according to reports received here,
are busily at work preparing wooden
garments for the soldiers in the battle
line. The reports also state that a
committee of women has been formed
for the purpose of inducing the wom-
en- of Germany to give up their gold
ornaments with the idea of transform
ing them into money with which to
buy arms. Each woman receives in
exchange for her gold ornaments an
iron ring inscribed with the words Il

To-day, when a number of nations,
all our friends, have been drawn into
the vortex of war" said Secretary Bry-
an, "our first duty is to use such in

return of peace. There will be ample
time afterward to discuss ways and
means for preventing future appeals

Our interests are so entwined with

London.-A picture of the sufferings
of the German troops, cramped in I'M

the Aisne river, is given by the Paris
correspondent of the Daily Mail. He
says that the autumnal weather with
its damp nights and bitterly cold
dawns, is extremely trying. If the
men step from their trenches to the
level ground they do SO at the risk
of their lives. At night every German
soldier must be at his post in the
narrow ditch, sleeping as best he may,
with his rife at his side.

London-The Daily Mails CORE
spondent in France reports fighting in
and around Douval, department of
Nord, eighteen miles south of Lille,
and considers that if the French have
reached Douval in force, the situation
of the German general, Won Kluck,
must be desperate.
General Won Kluck," the correspond
ent adds, has had all the reinforce
ments which can be spared him and
yet finds himself outnumbered at ev-
cry point. There are many indications
from German prisoners, from French
officers and from members of the Brit
is htransport service, the combined
testimony of whom it is difficult to dis
believe, that the German army is be-
coming demoralized.
"The German prisoners are dirty and
hungry and suffering from the effects
of bad food, bad atmosphere and bad
sanitation. Their trenches are too
deep to make the lifting out of the
dead an easy matter and in some cases
no attempt has been made to remove
bodies. ..
