THE ATLANTA SEMI- WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913. 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. • N.

THQMf h by l 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. This new capital, Heian-jo, or City of Peace, was to be an immense city, for those days.

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.

Fraternally yours, . LIZZIE O. THOMAS. 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? FARMER’S WIFE ALMOST AWRECK Restored to Health by Lydia E.
