Attorney Gen. Napier Reverses
Opinion of Assistant Attor-

ATLANTA, Oct. 15.-Replying
to direct question propounded to
State Tax Commissioner Dozier, Az
torney General Napier has prepared
an opinion to be handed out today
row, in which he reverses the recent
opinion of Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Gress, that the new inheritance
law, passed by the last Legislature
is unsounded and unconstitutional.
Mr.. Napier. it is learned, holds in
his more elaborate opinion that the
act Of August 27, 1925, while not
by express language repeating the
old law, does so, nevertheless both
by superceeding it and by implica-
ton, in support Of his position in
this respect, he quotes from Su-
preme Court decision by Mr.. Justice
Hines directly covering the point.
This opinion by the Attorney
General will greatly clarity stu
alton which has created great deal
of comment and doubt throughout
the State, and will be the guide
which will be followed by the State
Tax Commissioner, it is said.

Thin, Pale, Tired?
Look Out For
Chronic Fatigue

One of the most insidious ailments
today is chronic fatigue. Thousands
are only half-alive, constantly suffer
ing with weakness, nervousness, pal
pitation of the heart, headaches, etc.
continually taking medicines when, in
the great majority of cases, the real
trouble is chronic fatigue.
Chronic fatigue is entirely different
from the healthy" fatigue you feel
after hard work. Chronic fatigue comes
from within. Your nerves, muscles,
organs, ETC., have become rundown
and cannot function properly.
To conquer it you must 60 to Its
cause-in the blood. For it is from the
blood that every muscle, nerve and
tissue gets its nourishment. So when
you are thin, pale, tired and rundown,
it is usually because your blood is thin
and pale, lacking in sufficient organic
iron to carry strength to the starved
tissues.
What you need, then, Is not mere
tonics, but more organic iron in your
blood, so itcan carry strength and vigor
to every part of your body.
But don't take the older mineral iron
medicines which many doctors now
say do little good. Take organic iron
-Nuxated Iron-which lie like the iron
in your blood and like that in spinach
and lentils. Unlike ordinary mineral
iron it will not injure the teeth nor dis
turb the stomach but is promptly as
simulated. Q
Take Nuxated Iron for just two weel1s
and you'll be amazed how much strong.

to your cheeks and the sparkle and
life to your eyea. Money back If not
