But not all criticism is favorable,

For years 7 was coffee drinker

ferer from dyspepsia, constipation,

"The different kinds of medicine
tried did not cure me, and finally some
one told me to leave off coffee and
take up Postum. I was fortunate in
having the Postum made strictly &C.
cording to directions on the pkg, so
that from the start liked it.
"Gradually my condition changed.
The old troubles disappeared and
began to feel we'll again. My appetite
became good and I could digest food.
Now I am restored to strength and
health, can sleep sound all night and
awake with fresh and rested body.
80 am really a monument built by
Postum, for I was a physical wreck,
distressed in body and mind, and am
now strong, healthy man. I know
x*.ctly what made the change; it was
leaving off coffee and using Postum %

LubIin-ChoIm Railway.
London.-The Russians and Austro-
Germans are engaged on several fronts
in Russian Poland in desperate bat
ties, the result of which is likely to
play an important part on the future
of the campaign. The most important
struggle is on between the Vistula and
the Bug Rivers. The AustrO-Germans
are fighting for control of the Lublin-
Cholm Railway which would be of
great value in their efforts to advance
on Warsaw. The Teutonic Allies are
using vast numbers of men, but the
Russians are reristing stubbornly and
inf1icting heavy losses on their adversa-
ries.
To the north in the neighborhood
of PrasnysZ, Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg is conducting just as deter
mined an offensive, with Warsaw as
his objective.
Berlin is celebrating the successes
gained by Won Hindenburg, which are

tiers to be of great Importance. Mean

PRISONER ATTACKS
AND CUTSLEO FRANK
THROAT WAS SLASHED BY WILL
ING LIFE SENTENCE.
RECOVERY Is VERY DOUBTFUL
Flow of Blood From Wound is Finally
Stopped-Creen Says %]e Planned
Attack Alone.

Milledgeville, Calico M. Frank,
whose death sentence for the murder
of Mary Phagan recently was com
muted to life Imprisonment was at
tackled by another prisoner at the
state prison farm here and seriously
injured by being cut in the throat.
TIE attack on Frank was made by
William Green, who also is" serving
a life term for murder. Franks re-
covery is said to be doubtful.
The attack on Frank, which was
made shortly after eleven O'Clock, was
made from behind, file knife being
the weapon used. Franks left jugular
vein was cut, but neither the spinal
cord nor wind pipe were injured.
The attack on Frank was made in
the dormitory which the prisoners oc-
cupy in common at night. All lights
were out at the time. Green is alleg-
ed to have had the knife secreted in
his prison clothes.
Two convict physicians gave first
aid and treated the wound until Doctor
Compton, the prison physician, was
summoned from his home half a mile
away The three men took Is stitches
in Franks Neck. DR.. H. J. Rosen-
berg, the Frank family physician, ar
rived from Atlanta with nurses. He
said that while Franks condition is
precarious he has a chance for life.
Mrs. Frank was in Milledgeville at
the home of j. M. Burns. She was
not told of the attack until after the
physicians had finished their work.
She became hysterical, but later was
Gained and was taken to the prison
hospital.
The cut extends from the front of
the neck around the left side to almost
the middle of the back of the neck.
Neither the windpipe nor the spinal
cord is hurt, but the jugular vein is
party severed. The physicians great
est fear was that some of the stitches
might slip, causing more loss of blood.
Green said, when taken from soli-
tary confinement long enough to be
questioned, that he planned and exc
cuted the attack alone. He was not
communicative and gave as his only
excuse that he Thought it should be
DONE" He said, however, that he re-
GREETED his act.
