LOST BEAUTY
OF WOMEN
Can Be Remedied, in Many In
stances, According to State
ment of Mrs. Luciie
McElroy *
Laurel, Miss.In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Luciie McElroy says: “I was
sick for three years, with backache,
headache, pains in my stomach and
back,' low down. At times, I could not
do a thing, I was so weak.
After I was married, I thought I would
try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and after
using two or three bottles, I couldn’t tell
one day from another—felt good all the
time.
I not' only still use Cardui, but advise
every lady I think needs it, to give it
a trial, and several whom I have per
suaded, say they have obtained great re
lief.
Another good thing I have noticed
about Cardui, is that it fills out hollows
under the eyes, which are sunken as if
from a bad spell of sickness. It fleshena
up a woman’s eyes, and make them look
bright and plump. Many a woman would
be pretty if it were not for her sunken-
in eyes. \ •
I believe that Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, is the only treatment for women.”
Do you suffer from womanly trouble?
If so, give Cardui, the woman’s tonic, a
trial.
Judging from the experience of a mil
lion other women who have been bene
fited by this remedy, it should surely
do you good. •

THE NEW YEAR.
“With gratitude for past mercies,
with consecration of our lives anew to
Thy service, with the prayer that Thy
love may blot out our past sins, that
we may be solaced and sustained in all
the cases and dangers of the coming
year, even so, O Lord, we come to
Thee. Grant, we pray Thee, this New
Year’s wish and prayer.
“Who comes dancing over the snow,
His soft little feet all bare and rosy!
Open the door,'though the wild winds
blow;
Take the child in and make him cozy,
Take him in and hold him dear;
He is the wonderful New Year.
“Make him a wish, be it sad or gay,
Welcome him now and use him
kindly;
For you must carry him, yea or nay,
Carry him with shut eyes so blindly.
But whether he bring joy or fear, /
Take him! God sends him—this good
New Year.”
CHAT.
So many people are interested in
China and Japan, yet cannot help, or so
it seems, getting them mixed, that I
am going to devote my space in this
week's Journal to Japan. And I do hope
that after it is read there will not be
more than half or the readers who will
lay the paper aside and quote me as
saying thus-and-so about China. 1 have
talked to a room full of people, and
used the words Japan and Japanese all
through the talk and then had about
half of them to come to me afterward
to say, “Miss Thomas, I was so glad
to hear this, for I think the Chinese
wonderful.” It is a lack of concen
tration. When one goes to hear a
speaker, or sits down to talk to a
friend on'e’s attention should be fixed
on the subject then discussed. That is
why so much confusion is in some
neighborhoods, certain people couldn’t
tell a thing straight to save their
lives.
So please remember this is about Ja
pan.
The Japanese claim history as far
back as 660 B. C., and their story of the
creation of Japan is much like the
myths of the Norseland. Chaos reigned
and the gods sent a monster, a serpent,
to devour all the miasma. Then one of
the gods and a goddess made the
islands their abode. Their descendants
have ruled over the land ever since,
and in the hearts of the ignorant the
present emperor is considered divine.
There are a great many people over
here who call the emperor the mikado.
They get the word from an opera that
was very popular here many years ago.
When it was being written, ah educated
Japanese was employed to give the true
Ideal color to the songs and 1 scenes.
Naturally, thinking as they do that
their emperor is more than mortal, he
would not even use his title in such
a song; so he put in the word mikado,
which meahs “before the gate.”
In all my years over there, in my
association with the pupils in the school,
their parents and my Japanese helpers,
never once heard the emperor spoken
terms,
and “Prince
of heaven,” are the titles most .generally
used.
I mu6t confess that my residence in
lands ruled by hereditary princes has
made me sorry that more respect is not
shown the man who fills our presidential
chair. I wouldn’t have divine honors
paid whoever might occupy the position,
but more respect should be given him.
Jimmu was the emperor who really
founded'the empire and he established
his court in the province of Zamato,
ind until about the eighth century
A. D. it was customary to change the
place of the capital city with each
change of emperor. Wara had the good
fortune to be chosen, frofti A. D. 109 to
184, and seven reigned during that time,
ftuddhist priests came over from China
about that time and had much influence
over the people. Well for the people it
was, too, for they brought the most of
he civilizing influences.. A true wor
shipper of Buddha could not shed
>lood, and the Japanese were a terribly
varlike people. The higher classes could
to along the street and try a new
sword on the neck of any passerby, pro
vided the other man did not have a bet
ter one. There are many hanrsome
temples that even now attest the archi
tectural skill of those earlier days.
In the history of Japan, up to the
present emperor, time has been marked
by the change of ruler. Only Christian
nations date their affairs from Christ’s
birth. All of you call to mind the way
:he old Testament puts it, “In the reign
f King So and So.” Well, the Japanese
ave it that way. Each emperor gener-
lly chose some emblem or name, and
he reign of the emperor that I lived
nder was termed “Meiji,” or “age of en-.
ghtenment.”
In 782 the Emperor Kwammu marked
is accession to the throne by moving
le capital to Naga-oka, a small village
n the hills and only a few miles soutia
'f the city now known as Kyoto. He
ound that situation unsuitable and
changed to the village Uda in the same
province. These changes made work for
he people and helped build up cities
where there had been none before that.

Peace, was to be an immense city, for

ily held the shogunate for 180 years.
There was a terrible war In 1467, the
city was the scene of plots, rebellions
and quarrels among the feudal lords.
Most of Kyoto’s old buildings were de
stroyed and of course, the ancient rec
ords went too. This was an awful time
for the emperors % for their revenues
were curtailed and sometimes they had
to depend on the good nature of their
nobles for the necessities of> life.
After a great deal of death and de
struction Toytomi Hidegosrei brought
the rebelious feudal lords into subjec
tion and the country was once more
under one government. He was a won
derful man, his life story and the
things he accomplished read more like
fiction than facts. In many respects
he was a combination of the characters
of Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte. He
strengthened the imperial authority, re
vised the laws, reconstructed the city
of Kyoto, restored the dilapidated
temples and shrines and made the impe
rial palace a permanent residence for
the emperors. His death occurred in
1598, and he was succeded by Toku-
gawalyeyaru.
For three hundred yeans peace was
maintained by the Tokugawa Shogunate
and as Tokyo had been selected for their
stronghold Kyoto was again under the
rule-of their deputies. You remember
that in all these centuries there had
been no intercourse between Japan and
any other nation, except as they warred
on Korea or China. Ther e is a huge
mound to be seen over there even now
that they claim was made of the noses
and ears of the conquered Koreans,
brought back by a victorious arnfy.
When a shipwrecked foreigner floated
ashore he was immediately killed, and
if any of the Japanese of those days
tried jto get away he too was decapita
ted.
In 1853 Commodore Perry went there
with his war vessels and demanded the
safety of , any American who should be
cast upon the shores. This question
of foreign intercourse disturbed them
very mucli. Of course there were two
parties. The Yedo government favored
the opening of the country even though
the Imperial government would not
sanction it. The Royalists flocked to
Kyoto to protect the emperor and a
fierce battle was fought in 1864. Again
was the city a scene of desolation. The
Shogun’s forces were routed and that
same year the emperor wdio recently died
ascended the throne. The imperial resi
dence was removed to Tokyo, or eastern
capital, and many ways and ideas that
his ancestors approved were laid aside.
Another time I will tell you of some
of those old customs. The preesnt em
peror and the empress have assumed
many o£ the habits of the foreigners, as
we are called over there. I see by the
papers that he contemplates a visit
around the world. His eyes will certain
ly be opened to many things during that
visit. I well remember how much
cetemony there was every time One of
the kindred even passed through our
city of Hiroshima and when he starts

The Fuji-wara family revolted and

the founding of the feudal system. This
meant a change for Kyoto and it became

Mean their bowels are waste-

Yonr child isn’t naturally cross, ir
ritable and ifeevish, Mother! Examine
the tongue; if coated, it means the little
one’s stomach is disordered, liver in
active and its thirty feet of bowels
clogged with foul, decaying waste.
Every mother realizes after giving
delicious; “Syrup of Figs” that this is
the ideal laxative and physic for chil
dren. N9thing else regulates the little
one’s tender stomach, liver and bowels
so effectually, besides they dearly love
its delightful fig taste.
For constipated bowels, sluggish liver,
biliousness, or sour, disordered stomach,
feverishness, diarrhoea, sore throat, bad
breath or to break a cold, give one-half
to a teaspoonful of “Syrup of Figs,” and
in a few hours all the clogged up waste,
sour bile, undigested food and consti
pated matter will gently move on and
out of the system without griping or
nausea, and you will surely have a well,
happy and smiling child again shortly.
With Syrup of Figs you are not drug

ENDORSES MRS. MAHAN AND LUTIE BELL
. Dear Household:/ My son came home from
the University of Georgia with typhoid pneu
monia in November, and he is just getting able
to go about the house now, so you know why
I have been silent so long. I had very little
time, or heart, to read while he was sick, but
I think; I have read the most of our Household
pages.
Ours 'was a -sad, quiet Christmas. I missed
the loved ones who have gone before me to the
city, whose builder aud maker is God. My
husband and ray dear daughter who died in
China. Such bereavements teach us liow to
sympathize with all who are afflicted. But
for my faith lu God 1 do not think that I
could have lived through my trials, but thanks
to His holy name we can bear all things through
Christ, who strengthens us. I am hoping amf
praying to live jiearer to my blessed Lord each
day.
1 want to give Lutie Bell and Mrs. Mahan
the rfght hand of fellowship for what they said
about women’s apparel. Mark my words, if
you want to spot the hearts least occupied with
Jesus, provided of course all the shallow pates
can afford what they want, you only have to
pick out the flashy bedecked woman with the
most paint on her faoe..
If women want to know how to dress right
let them read the third chapter of Peter. The
Bible gices us directions for all pursuits or
undertakings: all we have to do is to read it
and apply the lessons to ourselves. It is a
lamp that never fails us and would show us the
traps and snares that Satan has set for us, and
the means he is using to fill the divorce court
and places of <sin.
I say, hurrah for Judge Broyles for his ver
sion of the powder and paint that .goes on the
women’s faces, and the class of women that use
the most of it. When it comes to doing things
that are really worth while the heavily painted
women have very little on the rectal. I very
much doubt if there i« a woman in Georgia
wtto won her husband by such shams as paint
and powder and such accessories can truthfully
say she has not had to apologize to him, If
he is the right sort of man himself. Now
don’t all speak at ori<;e. Remember that Miss
Thomas published a letter that a man wrote
about his nagging wife and I heard that there
were women from five states who thought
their usbands were telling tales out of school.
How sad a real honest man must be 1 to find
out that the woman he rated next to his
mother and the angels was only moths and
patches. Shallow stuff never brought solid
comfort to any one. \ In some neighborhoods
it is thought social Tor all the women to
gather together and dip snuff; in others it is
considered disgraceful. Some neighborhoods
like Mrs. Mills’ put paint .and powder under a
ban and seek higher Ideals; others see no harm
in them. Such girls usually see no harm in
promiscuous kissing. No girl can be true to
herself ami cheapen herself by receiving such
spurious attentions.
The most attractive thing God ever made Is
a fair woman who acts with discretion, and
we are told that one who does not act with
discreCIon is like a Jewel in a hog’s snout.
Now. all you good writers, take your pen
and give us some of the ideas that have been
simmering in your brain for so long. I^et’s
help Miss Thomas keep this the best House
hold of any paper, no matter where the f next
may be. Sincerely,
(Calhoun, Go. MRS. B. F. LANG.
HOME, SWEET HOME
Dear Household:
“Tls easy enough *to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song.
But the man worth while is the man who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong. ✓
For the test of , the heart Is trouble,
And It always comes with the years,
And the smile that is'worth the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.”
My friends, truer words could never be writ
ten than the above piece of poetry, and it is
the sentiment of my heart today. I have suf
fered untold misery with nervous headache, I
am not strong and have : so much sympathy
for others that a shock gives me nervous head
ache. I love my home and my children, hut do
not stop there, I try to help others as well as
my own. Home, sweet home, for me and mine,
and if it were reasonable I would want ray
children to always stay in the home. But
when they get out in the world they wilU Took
It was not long after their sin that
Adam and Eve began to realize the
L nf U 'p a f e °S it Driven fl 'om the garden
,of J ^ en tne Y found themselves, in a
new environment arid themselves uripre-
pared to meet their new conditions. It
was a bitter year for them, but they
made the most of it, laboring and earn
ing their support. The one thing that
sustained them was the promise God
had made them of a Deliverer, who
snould come from them.
One day there seemed to be a rift
m the clouds. In great agony Eve
brought forth her firstborn, a boy
whom she named Cain—“an acquisi
tion. She thought she had acquired
the one who wa/3 to be the God-given
Deliverer! But when in a few moments
the other twin was born, she realized
the vanity of her thought and so named
him Abel.
WITHOUT FAITH.
All went well for about 128 years.
Sons and daughters were born to
Adam and Eve, and these intermarry
ing, others were born to them. It lias
been estimated conservatively that
there were in the world at this time
(that of Abel’s death) a few more than
two million people. Since the day that
God drove Adam and Eve out of the
garden they had known how to wor
ship God, and to be reconciled to Him.
He had clothed their nakedness with
the skins of the animals sacrificed to
atone for their sin. He had taught
them that He loved them but hated
their sin.
As the years progressed these had
taught their children and they in turn
theirs. ’ Cain and Abel knew how to
worship God acceptably. Cain had be
come a farmer, and Abel a shepherd. At
this time they came to make an offer
ing to God. Cain brought a thank of
fering of the first fruits of the grourid.
There is no doubt in my mind but that
he brought the best that he had. He
did not select fruit that was worm-
eaten or decayed or bruised—I believe
that he brought the very best corn and
wheat and potatoes and fruit that he
could find on all his farm. He was
grateful to God for the success that he
had had during the year, and wanted to
show it by the gift that he made.
Then Abel brought a thank offering,
but Abel did more than Cain, he
brought a sin of offering, too. Not only
did he recognize God’s goodness., to him
by blessing him during ‘the year, by in
creasing his flock, but he also recog
nized that he himself had sinned and
needed to get in clooe fellowship with
God, that his sin might be wiped away
and atoned for. So in addition to his
thank offering he brought a sin offering
out of the firstlings of his flock; poured
out its life blood that he might make
an atonement for his sin and come intp
closer communion with God. I think
I can see the picture now of Abel pros
trate on the ground before the altar im
provised, on which was the dripping
fle*3h of the*animal which had been giv
en in his stead. I see the fire from
heaven as it consumed the offering,
showing God’s acceptance of it. Then
I see Abel rise from the ground with
a new light on his face; the light that
never shone on sea or land—as he real
izes that his iniquity ie forgiven, his
sin is covered.
But I see also on the other hand Cain:
grateful? ^ Yes, appreciative? Yes, but
haughty and proud and sinful and un
repentant. I see him standing there
before his gift with his head up and hi*s
arms folded on his breast waiting for
the token of God’s acceptance, which
never came. Then I see him walk an
gry, when glancing over his shoulder
he sees the fire conssuming the sacrifice
of Abel, and his untouched.
You can see the difference between
these two offerings; you can see why
God accepts one, and not the other.
Without faith it is impossible to please
God—the gifts of an unregenerate and
unrepentant man, no matter how large
they may be, or how grateful the giver
may be for the success he has had, are
not acceptable to God; because who
soever comes to Him must believe that
He is the rewarder of them that dili
gently tseek Him.
You can almost hear Cain snort with
anger as he realized the truth. He has
the first born, had the birthright with
all that that meant. He was jealotis of
Abel—he wa.s afraid that now the birth
right would be taken away from him
and be given to his brother, But notice
just here the infinity tenderness . and
grace of God, who came to Cain to
check him in his sin and to give him
another chance. What are you mad
about? said He to Cain; you have an
other chance, if you do well I will ac
cept you, and if you do not well there i*s
a sin offering lying at the door which
you might offer and find pardon even
now, and still retain the benefits of the
birthright.
WAGES OF SIN DEATH.
Cain, however, was unrepentant; he
neglected to take the chance which God
gave him and shortly after there arose
hatred in his heart against his brother.
He simply wanted an opportunity when
he might put into execution the mur
derous thoughts of his heart. Making
occasion of being alone with his brother
in the field, he rose up against him and
slew’ • him. His sin was just as great
in the sight of God before the actual
crime was committed, for God says that
whosoever hateth his brother is a mur
derer.
But God is even more tender—He is
not willing that any should perish. He
comes to Cain to/ give him another
chance—He asks him, wnere is. Abel, thy
brother? giving him an opportunity to
confess his sin and be brought into
fellowship. But Cain’s heart was unre
pentant that he added to the sin of
murder the sin of lying.
There was no alternative left to God
now; He had done all He could to bring
Cain to repentance, but in the exercise
of his own free will he had steeled his
heart against God, and there was noth
ing left for God to do but to leave Cain
to his sin. He had turned his back
on God, and God simply allowed him to
go his own way, farther and farther
away from Him.
Cain was readfully concerned about
his punishment, but not so much about
his sin. Dwelling in the midst of the
blood relations of Abel, who are the
avengers of blood, he feared for his
life. But tender evei now. God gave
him » Sign to assure him that his life
wohld be protected. Just what this
sign jvas we 'dd not know—some of the
most curious and fanciful things have
been suggested; one of which was that
he had a horn- growing out of his fore
head. There was probably no mark on
him at all; he looked just as he had
always looked, unless the lines of sin
deepened in his face. At any rate he
had the assurance that God would pro
tect his life.
Oh! how merciful and gracious Is God,
exhausting every resource to bring the
sinner to repentance, even in mercy not
destroying him, but leaving him to his
own sin. God has been pleading with
you every day of your life. Will you
be like Cain and refuse to repent?

HELEN GOULD BECOMES
WIFE OF FINLEY SHEPARD
back and see home just as I do. Ask the man
of three score years, who has traveled far and
wide and he will tell you that tho home of his
childhood and the years spent, there are the
happiest memories he lias. As the years have
passed be has, forgotten unpleasant things, he
remembers it was a home of contentment where
each one tried to help the ./roers carry the
burdens that must fall on all the shoulders of
home makers. ITe will tell you that the truest
place for any young man or girl to anchor to
is home, sweet home. /
The vision of n real home never fades from
the soul. That .vision of morn*-r and loved ones
around the home fireside will never die. My
dear reader, tell me, if you please, where is
the golden home in this, the twentieth cen
tury? Tell me of a home that stands upon
a hill and cannot be hid. florae, sweet home.
There the fountain fuinishes waters, sweet
or bitter, for the good of the people. On
the other hand, an ill ordered home sends forth
characters that make other |jomes miserable,
the duties of home are to teach one how to act
on his own responsibility. The burdens of home
are often increased that we may acquire
strength to endure them without being over
tasked. and the duties of man daily performed
make home a fine world.
Home, sweet home, think of it, young man
and young girl, before you leave the family
fireside, there is no place like home, sweet
home. I’ll leav.e the subject with you.
Let’s hear from some one else. Thanksgiv
ing Day brought my wandering boy back to
mother and home, sweet home, no more to
wander in the forld alone. So you can Imagine
why I talk as I do. Let’s make our house
hold a “home, sweet home.”
