blinding headaches. My limbs would
well up and I would feel to weak I
could not stand up. I uaturally felt
discouraged for I seemed to be beyond
the help of physicians, but Wine of
Cardui came as a OoU-scnd to me. I
felt a change for the better within
week. After nineteen days treatment
I menstruntsd without suffering; the
afroniee I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain. Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish
that all ntforing women knew of its

Periodical headaches tell of fe
male weakness. Wine of Cardui
cures permanently nineteen out of
every twenty cases of irregular
menses, bearing down pains or
any female weakness. If you are
discouraged and doctors have
failed, that is the best reason in
the world you should try Wine of
Cardui now. Remember that
headaches mean female weakness.
Secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of
Cardui today.
ATLANTA'S GROWTH RAPID.
Census Bureau Gives 7,000 Population
Increase Since 1900.
Atlanta, April 9. Particularly grat
ifying to Atlantans and Georgian Is
the announcement from the census
bureau at Washington that the popu
lation of Atlanta has lncretsed 7,000
since the census of 19C0, making a
total of 96,550.
While the population of Atlanta Is
greater by several thousands than
the figures siren by the census bureau,
it is a well known fact that the bu
reau does not overestimate the popu
lation of cities, and the announcement
that there has been an increase of
7,000 is an indication of the rapid and
steady growth of the City.
This growth has not been confined
to population alone. The manufac
turing industries have increased to a
marked extent and the building sta
tistics are equally as gratifying.
The bank clearings show that an
enormous business has been done dur
lng the first few months of the pres
ent year and the need of office space
!s demonstrated In the rapid manner
in which new sky-scrapers have been
leased before completion.

Infantas Isabella, Eulalie and Marie
Her Daughters, Were at Bedside
When End Came Many Notables
Present Condolences.
Paris, April 9. Ex-Queen Isabella
of Spain, grandmother of King Alfon
so, died here at 9:45 o'clock this
morning of influenza, with complications.
The American embassy which is op
posite the Palatte castle on the Ave
nue Kleboy, the late queen's residence,
was early informed of the queen's
death, and Ambassador Porter was
among the first to call and sign the
palace register. The Infantas Isabel
la, Eulalie and Marie, daughters of the
late queen, were at the beside when
she died.
The queen had been afflicted with
the grippe for two months which
gradually affected the lungs. Last
night she became unconscious and the
death agony came at 7 o'clock this
morning. Prince Ferdinand immedi
ately telegraphed the news to the King
of Spain, to foreign minister Delcasse
and to all the European sovereigns.
M. Delcasse called during the day
and was admitted to the death cham
ber and President Loubet sent an offi
cer of his household to present his
condolences. It is understood Kins
Alfonso will not come to France for
the funeral as he did not come foi
the funeral of his grandfather, King
Francis, who died in April, 1902.
The deceased queen had been one
of the conspicuous figures of Paris
since she left Spain. After her abdi
cation in 1870. she continued to live
with queenly magnificence here, giv
ing largely to charity.
CHAIN OF BANKS TO BE STARTED
York
Banking Corporation of New
Will Operate in South.
Macon, Ga., April 3. It is report
ed in banking circles ct this city mat
overtures will be made by representa
tives of the United States Banking
corporation of New York, tor a con
trolling interest in the laatiing banks
of this city, as well as those of At-'
lanta, Savannah, Augusta, and Colum
bus.
This corporation is organized under
a charter granted m tne state ct
Maine, with a capital of ?10,000,0C0,
and with power to increase to any
amount needed by the volume of its
operations. It is stated in banking
circles in Macon that bank cfiiciais
have been aware for some time that
a plan was on foot to organize a co
poratioh for the control of a chain ol
banks throughout the country.
Those who discussed the subject
gave it as their belief that the new cor
corporation, with a chain of banks
throughout the south, could easily dis
pose of any surplus money by loaning
it through the many branch institu
tions, and in this manner make its
operations more profitable when there
was a congestion of the money mar
ket in New York. They say that u
the law is passed allowing the issue
of bank notes by state banks, the new
corporation will be prepared to issue
notes and do a large business immediately.

Dr. V. H. Podstata, superintendent,
declared after the test that the effect
produced was beneficial. The per

the 400 patients gathered in the en

alistic manner In which figures appear
ed and disappeared opened a new
channel for their thoughts and led
them away from the particular hallu

their minds. Excitable patients seem

pictures. Those suffering from chron

brooding over Imaginary wrongs and
showed an unusual interest in what
