YOUR HEAD AND STOMACH

Headache caused by disturbed diges-
ton is nearly always accompanied by
pain in the stomach, belching of gas,
vomiting and often by constipation. This
sort of headache is generally located in
the forehead and is not constant but
comes and goes.
1t does not come on Immediately after
eating but after the food has had time to
ferment which it does because the digcs-
tive fluids that should take care of it are
insufficient, because the glands that Sc
crete these fluids arc weak, because the
blood is failing to nourish these glands
properly.
Rich, red blood is the first essential to
proper digestion and the digestive pro-
cess cannot go on without it. When lack
OF nourishing blood cau>cs fermentation
and poisons arc absorbed from the diges-
tive trart, the pain in your head advises
you of the fact. Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
give the blood just the elements they
need to correct this condition and, with
a laxative, when required, form a perfect
treatment for tic headaches Of indiges-
ton.

TRUST OWNED SHIPS
Not Barred From Panama Canal, Says
Gregory.

Washington, April 23.-Attorney
General Gregory has rendered an
opinion to the war department con-
corning the closing of the Panama
canal to trust" owned ships, which
virtually holds to be imperative that
section of the canal act forbiddlng
passage to such vessels.
The attorney generals opinion
points out that it is necessary for a
court to establish violation OF the law
before passage can be refused, and
that a finding OF a violation of the
antitrust act usually is accompanied
by decree designed to prevent such
violation in the future. If the guilty
corporation is dissolved or enjoined,
Mr.. Gregory says, 1t is presumed that
it is not any longer a trust and
therefore its vessels could not be re-
fused passage.

SEVEN MILLION POLES
REPORTED STARVING
Refugees Arriving I'm London From
Poland Tell Terrible Stories OF Suf-
ferings i'm Devastated Country.

London. April 23.-Seven million
Poles, OF whom two millions are Jews
are in dire need of food. This state
ment was made yesterday by Her.
mann LANDAU, a prominent Jewish
philahtsropist' associated with various
Jewish charities in London.
"Of these sufferers 5.5O0.oQ0 are
east of the Vistula river and 10000
west Of the river" Mr. LANDAU said
The Jews are even poorer than tho
gentiles, because Of the boycott against
the Jewish race in parts of Poland
before the beginning of the war, which
impoverished thousands who other
wise would have been able to provide
for their families.
Several hundred refugees from Po-
land who are we'll to do made their
way to London by way OF Petrograd,
Finland, Sweden and Norway. They
brought terrible stories of the suffer-
ings of Poles in the ruined cities and
devastated country.
II hear that Americans are rallying
to aid the Poles, and know that their
needs will be supplied when the world
realyizes how terrible is their plight
Communication with Poland and Cali
cia is so difficult that IL is impossible
for the world to learn Immediately Of
the awful suffering there. But a good
cause never lacks supporters and I
feel sure the word will ray to the aid
of the Polish sufferers, as you Ameri-
cans did to the cry of the Belgians"

LIFE Term SOUGHT
FOR LEO. N. FRANK
Communication Of Death Sentence
Asked b. His Attorneys.

Atlanta, Ga, April 23.-Attorneys
for Leo M. Frank yesterday filed a Pc
tition with Governor slaton and the
Georgia Prison committee, asking that
the sentence of death imposed upon
Frank for the murder of Mary Pha-
gan be committed to life imprison-
ment. The district attorney, in a
statement, announces he will not op-
pose such Communication of sentence.
Among the grounds set forth by
Frank in his appeal are that he is in
nocent and that the principal evidence
upon which he was convicted was of
"a questionable and unreliable char
acter." His application, he states,
does not undertake to set out in full
the reasons for his appeal, but he asks
permission to do so at the hearing
before the prison commission.
Text of Appeal.
The text of Franks application,
which is brief, follows in part:
ION August 26, 1913, I was con-
victed in the Superior Court of Fulton
county Of murder, and I am now UNI
der sentence of death pronounced on
said verdict. l ask that this sentence
be committed to life imprisonment up
on the following grounds:
II am absolutely innocent of the
crime of which ! was convicted. My
death would neither avenge it nor
punish the real perpetrator. 1 have
no personal knowledge of the crime
other than the facts related by me in
my statement at the trial.
THE main evidence on which I was
convicted was of a questionable and
unreliable character. My alleged guilt
has not been established beyond
reasonable doubt"
Asks Factory Inspection.
The attorneys presented copies of
the evidence at Franks trial, and re-
quested the prison commission to
make personal inspection of the
pencil factory, where the Phagan girl
was murdered, before beginning an
examination of the record.
Members of the commission stated
that a hearing could not be given be-
fore May 5, and that 1t was not I'M
likely that the hearing might be de-
ferred until the meeting beginning
the first Monday in June.
According to the procedure in such
cases, the prison commission first
acts upon the applications for execu-
tive clemency, and transmits it's rec
concentrations, to the governor for
final action.

GERMANY GUARDING
HER YOUNG TROOPS
Planning for Nucleus Of New Army
When Peace is DieIned

Hanover Germany. April 23.-All
German men attached to the Land
sturm or last reserve of the army,
whether they had previous training or
not, were called out by decree on
January 2S
The order applied to all men who
had not completed their forty-fifth
year by August IA, 1914. in the case of
those who had been trained, or by
December. in the case of unframed
men. The service of the men is to
continue till the end Of the war.
Eyes Open to Future.
The German war department in
calling on the elderly men at the pres
crt time is keeping its eyes open to
the future. The announcement mas
made by the minister of war in a
recent interview that the. recruits due
to come up this year in the ordinary
course would not be called before the
normal date in the fall.
This apparent holding back from
active service of good material in the
shape of young men was decided on
as a precaution for the future. The
recruits of this year will be needed TO
form the basis of the new army when
III

H., declared, will certainly be found
tC. have been depleted by casualties to
Z large extent.
To Retain Young Men.
To this depletion must also be added
the large number of men who will be
entitled to return to civil life before
the expiring of their full term of SER
will give them the right to claim their
discharge before they otherwise would
have been able to do so under con-
ditions of peace. AS this will leave
the army much below its proper
strength, the war Office has resolved
to retain the younger men to build
the nucleus of the standing army at
the conclusion of peace.
On the other hand, the youths from
sixteen to twenty years old who have
volunteered to serve in the army be-
fore reaching thte regulation age for
military service, as we'll as the regu-
la1 contingent of recruits called up
last fall, are being assidiously trained
III depots in all parts of the country
in preparation for ransportation to
the firing line, either In the east or
the west.
Display Great Enthusiasm.
The young soldiers display great
er thusiasm for the field work in which
they are undergoing instructions under
the care Of experienced non-commis-
stoned officers, some of whom have
returned from the front, suffering
from slight wounds, which do not
hinder them in their work.
Much of the usual stiff drill of the
German army has been done away
with in order that the youths may
devote more time to and make rapid
progress in the useful warlike arts of
shooting and intrenching. Many Of
them were at first exercised in their
civilian clothes or in old uniforms in
of the lack of sufficient
stores to supply them, but the gray
field uniform for all was soon pro-
vided.
