KILLS CATARRH
GERMS IN Three
MINUTES
Wonderful French Discovery Sue.
ceeds After Everything Else
Has Failed.

Thousands who have suffered from
tatarrh, head noises, difficult breathing,
hawking, etc, and who have tried every
thing without success, say that the ia
nous new scientific discovery, Lavex, rid
them of their troubles in a few days.
Many say they had no further trouble
after the first three minutes of treatment.
LaVeX is a French discovery, easily used
by simply inhaling a pleasant, harmless
powder, which tends to kill the catarrh
germs almost instantly. Lavex reaches
every part OF the brea thing passages,
which cannot be done with ordinary
saNes, ointments. sprays, etc. The re-
suits are astonishing in their rapidity.
For instance, Rev. ]. F. Stephens,
widely known preacher, says, II had suf-
fercd from catarrh for years and my
doctor said there was no cure. Had to
quit preaching as a Methodist Minister.
After using Lavex I can sleep and eat
we'll, voice is clear, can walk or run or
work as we'll as I could twenty years
So confident is w. r. Smith, 500
Lavex Bldg, Kansas City, Mo, American
distributor of LaveX, that it will rid you
of all your catarrh troubles, in no time
at all. that he generously offers to send
treatment on free trial. No obligation
no COST comes to you in plain wrapper,
postpaid. If it cures you, you can re-
pay the favor by telling your friends,
if not the loss is Mr.. Smiths. therefore
you should accent this liberal offer to-
day by simply sending your name and
address To Nj. Smith aud prove you can
he rid of catarrh.-( Advertisement.)

WOODWARD S WIFE
AND DAUGHTER WIN;
WILL IS SET ASIDE

Mrs. Mamie Woodward Renfroe,
daughter, AMI Mrs. Violet Woodward,
wife, of the late Mr.. James C. Wood
ward, four times mayor OF Atlanta,
won their fight to break the will of
Mr.. woodward Tuesday afternoon
when Thomas H. Jeffries, ordinary of
Fulton county, ordered the last will
and testament of the former mayor
set aside.
The ordinary's action followed a
hearing on caveats fled by Mrs. Rem
froe and Mrs. Woodward after it
had been learned that Mrs. Renfroe
had been cut off without a penny
and Mrs. Woodward received only
the homestead and SIS a month, the
remainder of the estate having been
bequeathed to the Union Printers
home, Colorado Springs, Col.
Ordinary Jeffries did not state
what the next step in the proceed
ings would be, but it was understood
that he would Immediately initiate
plans for administration of the esf
tate. His decision, it was said, would
probably give Mrs. Renfroe half the
estate, since she and her step-mother,
said to be the only heirs at law, are
each entitled to an equal share.
Mr.. Woodward's widow, under the
will, was bequeathed the home at
351 East Hunter street, together with
the household goods therein, and a
monthly allowance of SIS. Setting
aside the will also nullifies her leg
acy.
The bequest of the remainder of
the estate, valued at between $4,000
and $4,000, to the Union Printers
Home at Colorado Springs, Col, was
also nullified.
At the hearing testimony was in
troduced to show that Mr.. Wood
ward was mentally unbalanced dur
ing the latter years of his life, par
ticularlv in regard to his attitude to-
ward his daughtre and her husband,
j. n. Rc'-"r0e.
Early in the hearing, Attorney
Renfroe, splaced in evidence d note
Woodward TO his daughter, which
inclosed a newspaper clipping with
the headline, Arsenic Murder Laid
to Women"
On Il sheet of paper inclosed with
the clipping was the sentence pur-
porting to be in MIR. Woodward S
handwriting: "It was in fear of such
things as this that [ stopped eating
at home"
Says He Feared Daughter
Testimony was then introduced to
show that for some time prior to his
second marriage to Mrs. Violet Wood
ward, he had not taken any of his
meals at his home for fear of his
daughter.
Mrs. Renfroe's testimony was di-
reCted in support of her contention
that her father was not mentally
responsible for some time prior to
his death.
He accused me of. practically
everything except actual murder"
she asserted, land the things he
never could have said or done if he
had not been mentally deranged."
Mr.. WoodWard's will, understood
to have been written in its entirety
by his own hand. cut his daughter
off without penny, with the sole
proYiso that if she should ever be in
actual want she should receive $50
a month from his estate.
Attorney James l.. Key was coun-
sci for Mrs. Renfroe, Attorney
George Spence was counsel for Mrs.
Violet Woodward and Attorney John
Hynds appeared for the Fourth Ma
tional bank, named as executor of
the estate.
