; A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.

Hines, AIa.--"l must confess, SAYS
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of This place, that
Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me
great deal Of good.
Before | commenced using Cardui,
would spit up everything | ate. had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
Irregular. could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con-
inuousiy.
Since taking Cardui, have entirely
quit splitting up what | eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and have
gained 10 pounds in weight"
II you are victim of any of the numer-
ous ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half century, Cardui has been re-
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands OF letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because 1t is COM
posed ofingredients which act specifically
on the woSf15nly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.

NOT So MUCH
MYSTERY COVERS
FRANK AT FAIR
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Especial to Times Recorder,)
ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 19.-The lynch
ing of Leo M. Frank has not ended
the Frank case. 1t is a bigger issue
today than it was day before yester-
day. Contrary to all expectations, the
men who lynched Frank have talked,
instead of maintaining the eternal ST.
lenee which many believed they were
pledged to.
1t is learned on positive authority,
according to Atlanta papers, that the
party which took Leo M. Frank from
the state farm and hung him to the
limb Of tree was a party of promi-
nent Glib county citizens.
1t is learned on the same authority
that the plans were carefully laid in
advance
1t is learned that Leo M. Frank did
not make any confession, and that the
only request he made was that he al
lowed to write to his wife.
From the same quoted source comes
the statement, published here, that:
eve would not advise inquisitive
authorities or persons to try to reveal
the identity of the twenty-five men"
The man who made that statement
is known to the newspapers, accord
ing to the papers, and the name of one
other Cobb county citizen who knows
all about the affair is said to be equal
ly well known. 1t is not known
whether either of these men actually
participated in the affair itself, but
both admit full prior knowledge of it.
So much for one aspect of the case
The other aspect is that Governor
| Nat E. Harris has announced that he
and the state authorities will relent-
lessly probe the lynching to the bot
tom, and that newspapers here and
in the north and east are editorially
urging that the men who lynched
Frank be brought to justice.
1t was believed for a short time at
ter the affair occurred that the mys-
terry which surrounded it would re.
main a mystery forever, and that any
effort to achieve any other result
would be fruitless. Today wide
range of possibilities are opened up
and the end of the Frank case, in thu
opinion of some. may prove to be as
terrible as was its beginnink.

Sacred Union of Parties
Suruiue Year of War

was supposed to be to put the gov
eminent into the position of refusing
parliament the right of supervision
and, thus, apparently exercising a sort
of a ministerial dictation.
The campaign started with eriticismss
of the censorship of articles of a poll
itical nature, and it developed later
into an assault upon the sanitary SER
vice and upon the general staff of the
army. The Socialist organ La Guerre
Sociale, edited by Gustav Herve, ths
former anti-militarist who had adher-
ed to the Sacred Union" at the begin
ming of the war; published several
articles in which it spoke plainly Of
the great losses sustained by the
French army at Scissors, in Cham
payne. in the Vosges and north of
Arras, while st the same time minin-
izing the value of the results obtain
ed. In these articles he plainly init
ated that change in the general staff
was desired, that younger generals
were required to make the necessary
effort, and that by reason of the apathy
OF the sanitary department Paris was
threatened with cholera. Most of the
paper containing these articles were
seized by the police and the effect
upon the public was almost negligible.
At the same time no secret was made
in parliamentary circles of the desire
of the Radicals and Socialists to get
rid of Millerand and Joffre. The
chances of different candidates to sue
coed the were even discussed. the
name mentioned most often for min
lister of war being that of Paul Doumer
former president of the Chamber of
Deputies General Carrail, already a
candidate for the chief command of
the army before the war, was put for
ward for Joffre's place.
This campaign had no press support
further than L'Homme Enchaine, of
former Premier Georges Clemenceau.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Aug. 19.--The In
dustrial Index says in its issue for this
week:
with the near approach of the
opening of the fall business season,
there is steady construction activity
and in some sections notable expan
sion in industrial payrolls. War or
ders and contracts are becoming a
more important factor in the Southeas.
but aside from this there has been
such general resumption of operation
of plants which had been idle that but
few inactive ones remain, and in a
great many instances establishments
are operating overtime.
"The belief that the fall business
season will be satisfactory, if no more.
has become fixed. There is no longer
dread that because of the war il
Europe something still more democrat
izing is to enter into the industrial
and general business conditions in
this country. On the contrary, there
is widespread feeling of substantial
hopefulness. if not of confidence.
"The awarding of contracts for the
erection of school buildings and build
ing of good roads constitute features
of the construction news of the week,
which reflects a wide range of &C .
tivity.

work to be done, as reported this week,

In any event the permanent value
of the kindergarten has little if any

kindergarten's concern is with the
content of the years rather than with
their number; with the fullness of

the mere economy of tie. Power to

An investigation about to be under

study in several different cities of one
set of children who entered kindergar-

the same school who did not attend
kindergarten. The records of these
children will be examined with refer

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 10
The value of the kindergarten as tested
by its results is discussed by Miss
"a. NJ. Winchester in an annual review
of kindergarten work just issued b!
the Commissioner of Education.
For several years Investigations
have been undertaken in different cit
les" says the review, "for the purposz
of ascertaining the advantage game
by children with kindergarten train
ing over non-kindergarten children
The emphasis in these Investigations
has been placed usually upon the rate
of speed with which the children
make the successive grades"
"The fallacity of drawing conclus
ions from such surveys" says Miss
Winchester, "is manifest at once. I
is well-nigh impossible to gauge thu
speed correctly, because in the frs
grade both kindergarten and non
kindergarten children are placed to
gether, and by the rule of uniformity
which seems necessary in school sys
