MRS. VICTOR INNES HAS HAD
BEST MEDICAL TREATMENT

ATLANTA, Ca. Dec. S.-For the first
time since her husband, Victor E. In.
mes was tried and convicted in this
city several months ago on a charge
of larceny after trust in connection
with the famous disappearance of the
helms sisters, Mrs. Ida May Innes yes.
terday saw the outside of the walls 81
Fulton county Tower, when she was
removed from her cell and taken to the
Office of physician for diagnosis OF
an ailment which has baffled the
county physician.
At first it was thought that the fam
GUS prisoner had tuberculosis, but
thorough tests showed a negative re-
suit, and Judge Ben H. Hill of Fulton
superior court gave orders that she
should have the best medical attention.
Her trial on charge of larceny after
trust, for which she was jointly in
dicted with Victor E. Innes, has never
been held, pending the outcome of the
appeal by Innes's lawyers for a new
trial.

AS we grow older and at last are left
Without the love that seemed so much
part
OF each days life that never had we
thought
OF it as love, but simply life itself.
What is it that comes back to her we
miss
With tears more bitter because shed
so late?
Us it the loving counsels that throng
back,
The wisdom doubly priced as daily
proven?
Is it her beauty and her graciousness
That haunts me while l wake, and
comes in dreams
No, no. All day and many nights and
days
MY mind is filled with myriad little
things:
The way she kissed me when she tied
my hood
And sent me off to school, little girl !;
The infinite pains she took to dress my
dolls
And make me parties with real
things to eat;
And how she'd come dozen times at
night
To bring a drink, or comfort me,
afraid.
My grown-up years seem suddenly
blotted out
And all the day and in my dreams at
night
I see her doing all the little things
That she, when we were children, used
to do.
/ hear her doing all the little things
That she, when we we're children, used
to do.
/ hear the little words she used to say
When | had hurt myself, or some one
made me cry.
But now l weep; she cannot comfort
me.
And bitterest are my tears that it's too
late
To say. 81 do know now, how wonder
full you were!"

and hold the fire overnight, to last generation
all demand the highest type of stove building.
Examine blosely the Round Oak Double Burner
and you will discover why it burns smoke"-why
it will hold the fire night, not only the first
year, but for generation the ashes do not
drop out onto the floor when the ash pan is removed
why, with its improved crate construction it will
burn all fuels successfully.
Consider the After Years
Bear in mind you not buying heating stove
for few months or possibly year, but for many
years. and it is after the first year two, that
cheaper stoves play out
The stove that will last generation-that will re-

All we ask is that you examine this stove and give
the opportunity of explaining why it serves
you best.
