Since we guarantee that all testimo-

not fair to suppose that if Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has the
virtue to help these women it will help
any other woman who is suffering in q

If you are ill do not drag along until
an operation is necessary, but at once

NoN-sKID BANANA PEEL.
Burbank Crossed the Ordinary Fruit
With a Cactus Pear.

With a Cactus Pear.
San Francisco.-We have with us to-
day the ''nonskid" banana peel.
So announces Frederick Boegel Of
the Burbank experiment farm, near
Hayward, CAL, who says he has pro-
duced banana with coat like sand
paper. He explains that the new fruit
was obtained by crossing the ordinary
banana with the cactus pear. Boegle
says that the new fruit has the usual
delicious taste of banana, and the skin
may be dropped upon the sidewalk
with perfect safety to pedestrians.

Terrific Gale Is Raging on Gulf

COMMUNICATION IS CUT Off

Several Vessels Are Reported to Have

the Damage to Property Is Said to
Be Enormous.
Houston, Tex, Aug. 17.-Fears that
the terrific West Indian hurricane,
which passed through the Yucatan

tition at Galveston of the flood disas-
ter of Sept. s, 1900, were entertained
here when all communication with

with velocity ranging from sixty
five to seventy-three miles.
The storm is reported to be increas-

emily there was no indication of a
lull.
The Southern Pacific railroad sent
a train out in an effort to reach Gal.
weston. The Galveston causeway still
was standing, but the force of the
wind was such that it was almost i'm
possible to get across and the last in
terurban car took nearly an hour to
make the trip because of the high
wind.
The army wireless station at
Brownsville received a report from
the transport Buford at Galveston
that the water had risen ten feet and
that several vessels had turned over
in the harbor there. 1t was not
stated whether there was loss of life.
No casualties have been reported,

is our belief. however, that even in
these cases the great weight Of au-

A very unusal surgical case is that
of Mrs. Emma Patton Of Lewiston,
who has been at the Central Maine
General hospital since Sept. II, with
broken back and torn spinal cord, in
juries which are almost universally
supposed to be fatal. Mrs. Patton fell
from a clothes reel platform early in
September. receiving these injuries.
She was taken to the hospital a few
days later and an operation performed
by which piece Of the vertebrae was
removed. There was practically no
hope Of her recovery at the time, but
much to the surprise Of all concerned
she has gained slowly but steadily
ever since, and seems likely TO con-
tinue to do so, and while she will never
be as well as before the accident may
live for some time.

middc-age Superintendent of factory, pre-
sumng on his power over the girls hired to
him.
We could not kill Bart Cantrell and Nick
Wllburn-lcd astray by evil women-and
then find different law for the 81 year-oId
married man, led astray by his own lusts
No! by the Splcndor of God we couldn't
have two Codes in Georgia, one for the Rich
and the other for the Poor.
At the time the Atlanta Journal and other
papers jumped on the witnesses, the jurors,
the Judges and the people, Governor John
H. S}0t0n ras q member Of the firm Of
Franz:'s 7cading zomycr.
He had been SO for nearly year.
Mary Phagan's body was found Sunday
morning. and on Monday morning. ea1Zy
Rosser showed up with Haas, as Franks
lawyer.
Who hired him, and acAen?
Not Gentle tongue had wagged against
Leo Frank!
No detective, no police-ohicer, no civilian
had accused this man.
Why did his rich connections employ the
supposedly best 1a'cycrs for him, before he
tad been accused?
Do Atlanta lawyers 90 to their offices be-
fore o'clock of Monday mornings?
Rosser and Haas were at Franks side, as
his 7aryors at s o'clock Monday morning.
Had the Seligs tipped it off to Montag and
Haas, that Frank had drunk heavily the
Saturday night of the crime. and had raved
about the murder?
At any rate, Franks lawyers were on deck,
bright and early the next morning, at a time
when nobody was working up a case on him,
and when he was lndustrlOusIy working up
a case against the night-watch whom he had
accused in the notes that he placed near the
dead girl.
Mark the date: it was April %, 1918,
when Rosser publicly appeared as Franks
leading lawyer.
Not long afterwards, the papers announced
that Slaton had become Rosser's partner.
Slaton had been elected governor at the
October elections of 1912; and was to be in
augurated in June 1913. Why did he need
a new partnership?
And why did Rosser need new one?
All, there's where the shoe pinches!
There's where the lash hits the raw place
on Rosser, on Slaton, and on John W. Grant.
There are some of the Commuters who
say that the Law does not forbid COVER
nor to take law cases.
Doesn't it?
When the Law carves out an Executive
Department. separating it jealously from the
judicial and Legislative, and constituting
the Gorcrn0r as the embodiment of the
Eaecutioe poacer, with chief command of the
Army and Navy, to enforce tie Lars, does
anybody, claiming to be lawyer, deny that
the 0ery nature Of the office debars a COVER
nor from practising law?
am not aware of any law which forbids
President Wilson from teaching school, but
the very character of his Office does. Sup
pose President Taft had taken law cases
Suppose President Cleveland, or President
Harrison had done so
You can't suppose anything of the kind.
