G-oldon Text: “Love envleth not.’’—Cor. 13: 4.
There never was a more abused word
than that word “friend.” It is used and
misused until many people really forget
when its being misused. “Judge before
friendship and then confide till death.”
is what Young tells us to do and dear
Jeremy Taylor tells us that “Some
friendships are made by nature, some
by contact, some by interest, and some
by souls.” And when one stops to con
sider the strange and utterly different
natures that are loyal to each other
one can see that the old fellow was
right. On the streets in the cars, at
home, everywhere we hear the expres
sion, “A friend of mine.” Nine times
out of ten. eight anyhow, there is no
■ friendship between them, they are the
veriest acquaintances. It seems just
. as easy to say. he, or she, is an ac
quaintance of mine. It is risking much
to claim friendship after only a few
casual meetings. usuaHy it takes years,
or many close and trying hours, to
cement two lives in the bonds of real
friendship. There is a microbe called
self-interest that often spoils the work
of years, sometimes it is inserted by
an outsider or borne, on the winds of
, jealousy from- another heart and the
beautiful creature that delighted at
least two ’souls becomes a tissue of
suspicion and distrust. There are ac
quaintances that wear the cloak so
easily that one is almost tempted to
call them friends; and, alas that such
should be, there are wolves in sheeps’
clothing and so black is such a heart
one shudders at the mischief such
have done or may yet.do. “Judge before
friendship,” and remember that one
must at least summer and winter with
an acquaintance before one can even
judge.
Haven’t you' seen people whose sym
pathies wSre all yours as long as you
were in trouble, but seemed to be en
vious or at least not so cordial when
the beams of prosperity shone on you?
Then there are others to be called fair
weather friends and that set fails one
entirely when sorrow comes. So I sup
pose things get evened up. Shakes
peare says:
“He that is thy friend indeed.
He will help thee in thy need;
If thou- sorrow he will weep:
If thou wake he cannot sleep:
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee doth bear a part.”
There are people who really want to
be one’s friend,* but they do not stick
to any one person long enough to really
know what the word means.
To have a friend one must be a
friend, one is often reminded for there
are two bears that are ever present—
. bear and forbear. The giving and
taking may not be equally divided, its
far easier to give than take, literally,
as well as figuratively, and there are
> times when the tension is such that the
proverbial feather’s weight would prove-
disastrous. Then is when silence is
. golden and friendship in such a state
\ that one need not let the other know
: that any hazard has beefo run.
Most of us know the sort of man
or woman who becomes intensely in
terested in ythe latest arrival in the
community. Nothing ip too good for
the stranger and no service too ardu
ous, but soon the ardor cools and it
takes another arrival to stir up that
enthusiasm. *
Such people are useful. They are
to be appreciated, and, as I heard a
man say not many weeks ago, they
make some rough places mighty
, srrtoath. Do not discount their good
.will nor forget their kindnesses when
i they realize the fact that there are
i other strangers net far off and trans
fer their attentions.
The spasmodic sort of friendship is
.another sort that one finds as one “sails
|the main,” trudges along life’s highway,
or quietly bides in the valley that has
always been called home. The spas
modic sort is of several kinds, one must
indeed be careful of the sensitive soul
whose feelings are spread in all direc
tions and one knows only when the
light of that countenance has been with
drawn that a season of healing silence
must ensue before any more blossoms
will be seen. I heard a woman say of
another one, “I will not see her again
until she needs me, then she will come
in as if nothing had ever happened.”
Damon and Pythias, David and Jona
than are synonyms of that counstancy
and faith that usually comes to onlv a
few because the majority do not put
them to the test—some are afraid to test
friendship, and why should we? All of
us know people who flatter themselves
into thinking they have a host of friends
when in truth they only have a long list
of acquaintances. There is no necessity
for us to undeceive them. There may
never be any severe test put to them;
probably there will not, and the ac
quaintances will pass for an army of
friends.
When I was considerably younger
than I now am I read “Mr. Isaacs,” by
Marion Crawford, and was a bit indig
nant over the statement that one friend
was all that really fell to the lot of
thinking, conscientious mortals, that one
was all one could be loyal to. So many
times since then J have readjusted my
mental focus and'looked at the world
from another viewpoint, sometimes I’ve
been tempted to say he was right. For
years I’ve planned to reread that book
just to see how that part of it would
strike me. But “of the making of books
there is no end,” and one is fortunate if
she gets a chance to read the classics
in one’s youth and then finds time as trie
years pass to read a little of the best as
it is written. And let th$ sort that
sneer-at friendship or the cardinal vir
tues severely alone. Life is too short
for envy, malice or any uncharitable
ness and they are sure to poison the
heart if the mind is fed on putrid or
even tainted material.
It’s all very well for the very young
to question whether there is such a
lever as friendship. They will learn
later what a powerful one it is, and
as the shadows of life’s evening fall
on them they will see that there can
not be anything more cheering or sus
taining this side of heaven.
“Friendship's but a name,
A charm that lulls to sleep,”
the lyric tells us, and our dear Lady
Disdain tries to believe it, ,too, but don't
you believe it. The fact that you have
called a score of acquaintances friend
need not deter you from the comforting
thought of the friends true and tried
that the years have given you.
You haven’t any? How do you know?
Prove a friend to those needing you
and, after many years it may be that
heavenly gift will manifest itself unto
you. Do not be overly confident, nor
cynical. None of us like to be picked
up and weighed in the balance just to
be proved. Wait until the hour of need
comes and see how many pleasant sur
prises you will have. It’s a morbid mind
that dissects or vivisects a friend.
“Judge before friendship, then confide
till death.”
Faithfully yours,
LIZZIE O. THOMAS.
CONCERNING SOME ABSENTEES
Dear Miss Thojnas: I am as busy as a bee
these days, my work among the flowers fixes
them so that the bees can gather their sweet
store. When rest time tomes I embroider or
help in the house and only those who have, in
some period of their past, been sick, can really
appreciate being able to do things.
I think some of the readers of this page
will almost envy me when I tell them that
Eloise visited me several days. She is like
a sunbeam in the house and always sees when
to help others. Then Euclea visited me recent
ly. So you see what a favored mortal I hav©
been. Eucla is a girl with hosts of friends
From 40 to 50 Woman’s Critical Period.
Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot
flashes, severe headaches, melancholia, dread of impending
evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularity, constipation and
dizziness are promptly treated by intelligent women who
are approaching the period of life.
This is the most critical period of woman’s life and she
who neglects the care of her health at this time invites in
curable disease and pain. Why not be guided by the ex
perience of others and take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound ? It is an indisputable fact that this grand old
remedy has helped thousands of women to pass through
this trying period with comfort and safety. Thousands of
genuine and honest testimonials support this fact.
From Mrs. HENRY HEAVILIN, Cadiz, Ohio.
Fort Worth, Texas. — “I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound and derived great benefit from its use. It carried me
safely through the Change of Life when I was in bad health. I had
that all gone feeling most of the time, and headache constantly, I was
very nervous and the hot flashes were very bad. I had tried other
remedies and doctors, but did not improve until I began taking Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It has now been sometime since
I took the Compound and I have had no return of my old complaints.
I always praise your remedies to weak women.” — Mrs. Henry
Heavilin, R. F. I). No. 5, Cadiz, Ohio.
From Mrs. EDWARD B. HILBERT, Fleetwood, Pa.
Fleetwood, Pa.—“ During the Change of Life I was hardly able to
be around at all. I always had a headache and I was so dizzy and
nervous that I had no rest at night. The flashes of heat were so bad
sometimes that I did not know what to do.
“ One day a friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and it made me a strong, well woman. I am very
thankful that I followed my friend’s advice, and I shall recommend it
as long as I live. Before I took the Compound I- was always sickly
and now I have not had medicine from a doctor for years. You may
publish my letter.”—Mrs.. Edward B. Hilbert, Fleetwood, Pa.
From Mrs. F. P. MULLENDORE, Munford, Ala.
Munford, Ala.—“ I was so weak and nervous while passing through
the Change of Life that I could hardly live. My husband had to nail
rubber on all the gates for I could not stand to have a gate slam.
“ I also had backache and a fullness in my stomach. I noticed that
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was ad
vertised for such cases and I sent and got a bottle.
It did me so much good that I kept on taking it and
found it to be all you claim. I recommend it to
all women afflicted as I was.”—Mrs. F. P. Mullen-

The passing years brought but one
thing of note into the life of Israel. He
was a changed man. We find no more of
the crafty dealing that characterized
him before his experience at Jabbok. But
shortly afterward the greatest sorrow of
his life until then came upon him.
Rachel, whom he had loved from the
first sight of her, and for whom he *'nad
served at hard labor for fourteen years,
died. It was at the birth of her son,
Benjamin.
I think the loss of Rachel had some
thing to do with making Israel love
Joseph more than his other sons. He
may have resembled his mother in ap
pearance. and at any rate, was a most
estimable youth of seventeen at the
time of the events of our iesson to
day.
To show partiality is not a good thing
under any circumstances, but it is espe
cially undesirable in a family. It al
ways engenders bitterness in the less
favored, and makes the lot of the favor
ite harder to bear. But possibly
Rachel’s death made Israel unconscious
ly to himself, perhaps, transfer the love
he had always had to her to her first
born. And he made the mistake of
manifesting it by giving Joseph better
clothes than the other boys. The gift
to him of a coat richly embroidered with
many colored silk and gold threads crys
tallized their bitterness toward him.
TALKED TOO MUCH.
Then Joseph, like many another
young man of his age, talked too much.
Every one knows the sense of impor
tance that is experienced by a young
person of the. teen age. You remember
when you were that age how you really
pitied the older folks because they were
so far inferior to you in wisdom and
judgment. You may have forgotten,
but you did it nevertheless, how posi
tively you expressed your opinions, and
wondered why other people did not re
alize that the last word had been spoken
by you on the subject. You were climb
ing fool’s hill, and that was but one
stage of the journey.
Now' Joseph was on the same road.
He was not a tattler, nor was he any
thing more than a boy who had been
loved and petted by his father, and who,
therefore, at this period of his psycho
logical development had ,an undue sense
of his own importance, and talked too
much. He told his father of the evil
doings of his half brothers, the sons
of the concubines—and I have no doubt
but that the reports were true and that
for their own good Israel should have
known it; but for Joseph to have been
the informant was not conducive to his
popularity with them. Then he told
them most naively of his dreams in
which his self consciousness was as
serting itself most strongly. It is not
certain that these were prophetic, and
certainly the last was not. for his moth
er had died long before he came into
power in Egypt when it might have been
realized
But these dreams which showed his
developing self consciousness were no
more conducive to his popularity with
his brethren than the report he had
given to his afther. They treasured up
bitterness and hatred in their hearts
to him; they were murderous already
in heart and only lacked opportunity to
be such in fact.
It is interesting to note the entirely
different attitude which Israel assumed
in the matter. He observed these things,
made careful note of them in his mind;
and I think he rather enjoyed the sight
of the developing qualities of leadership
in the young man, for he was old
nough to know that after Joseph had
reached the top of fool’s hill, there were
qualities in him that would be most
\ aluable.
A CRUEL PLOT.
An occasion arose that gave the broth
ers an opportunity to wreak their ven
geance. They had gone some twenty
miles north of Bethel seeking pastur
age fo r the large flocks of their father.
They had been gone so long that Israel
became uneasy about them, especially
as he did not have the utmost confi
dence in their integrity of character,
so he sent Joseph, as being the only one
at home (Benjamin was too small to
go), to learn their whereabouts and to
inform him of their welfare.
When Joseph reached Shecham they
were nowhere to be found, but learn
ing that they had been seen going
northerly he proceeded that way, and
finally found them some twenty more
miles further north at Dothan.
As he hove vn sight they recognized
him by his richly embroidered robe,
and determined to put him to death that
they might be bothered with him no
longer. They determined to cast him in
to a pit to starve to death and then
concocted a story about his having been
slain by some wild beast.
Be it said to their credit that this
plot was not shared by all the breth
ren. I think it was only the sons of
the concubines. Dan and Naphthali. Gad
and Assher Certainly Reuben didn’t
enter into it, and was very much
grieved when he found what the others
had done. In fact it was because of
his intervention that Joseph’s life was
spared at that time, and he seemed
greatly grieved when he returned to
find that the others had sold Joseph into
Egypt.
I have never been able to reconcile
this attitude on his part with his silence
when his brothers told his father that
outrageous falsehood. It does seem that
he would have informed his father of
the truth of the affair ,and not allowed
him to mourn as he did, thinking Joseph
dead. The only explanation I can make
is that Reuben was in ignorance of
what had happened himself.
But the great truth that stands out
over all in this story is the overruling
providence of God. God had told Abra
ham nearly 200 years before this that
his seed would sojourn in Egypt for a
time because of Abraham’s failure to be
lieve Him implicitly, and now in this
way God is making the wrath of men
to prove him. Should I be called upon
to select one great truth to impress
more than any other in this story I
would express it in four words, “The
fact of God.” You cah’t get away from
Him. He is ever present, and He rules
over all, and all is right that seems
most wrong if it be His sweet will.

school; she has the sort of smile one likes
to see, the sort that tells us that her heart
is filled with good will to all, and j malice to

many writers for our page? I>et's hear from
them, for all of us like to keep in touch with
our members. Addie Ivan, whose letters have
been such a pleasure, and who commenced
writing for our page among the first, has re
cently lost her brother. While we know that
our loved ones who go before us are free from
all sorrow aud care, our hearts ache in lone
liness and many a time we long for the
touch of the vanished hand and to hear the
loved tones now stilled. Our own family re
union, if we have one this year, ^ill have a
vacant chair. Hearts will tie saddened and
laughter not so hearty as it was a year ago,
but we know his joy is great and his bur
dens are forever laid aside. Life is so un
certain, and death so sure that it is well for
all of us to be ready when the summons
comes. And how great the joy one must feel
to hear the words. “Well done, thou good
and faithful servant.” There are lonely hearts

with hope, there are bowed heads all about us,
are we doing our part in helping the world?

ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS TO
MAKE BIG CAMPAIGN
WASHINGTON, April 24.—After a
strenuous campaign against the suf
fragists the leaders of the national as
sociation opposed to woman’s suffrage
will leave today to carry the crusade
into the country. Mrs. A. J. George,
organizing secretary of the Massachu
setts branch of the organization, al
ready has left for Boston.
Miss Lucy J. Price, the organization’s
field worker, leaves on a speaking tour
today and Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, na
tional president of the association, will
return to headquarters in New York
tomorrow. <
More than 100 anti-suffragettes met
today for a final conference on the con
tinuation of work before congress. The
meeting was executive, admission being
by card only, and the situation was
thoroughly canvassed. The anti-suf
fragists expressed their complete sat
isfaction with the impression they felt
they had made on the senate woman
suffrage committee at the hearing Sat
urday.
POPE CONTINUALLY
GROWING STRONGER
HAWTHORNE MUST STAY
IN PRISON TILL JULY
Department of Justice- Decides
•He Must Serve One-Third
of Sentence
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Julian
Hawthorne and Dr. William J. Morton,
con\*icted of misuse of the mails, and
now in the Atlanta penitentiary await
ing parole, will not be eligible for re
lease until they actually have served
one-third of their sentences in prison,
which will be the latter part of July.
This decision was reached today by the
department of justice.
In sentencing Hawthorne and Morton
to one year and a day last March the
trial judge made the sentence date
from the beginning of their trials, No
vember 25? They entered the peniten
tiary on March 24 under the belief that
they w’ould be eligible for parole on
March 25, as one-third of the sentence
had then expired. The department of
justice holds that a prisoner must
actually serve one-third of his sen
tence.
When advised by The Journal of the
ruling of the department of justice in
Washington relative to the application
for parole by the famous prisoners,
Julian Hawthorne and Dr. W. K. Mor
ton, Warden Moyer, of the United
States penitentiary, said that he had
heard nothing of it. He seemed to
think that the ruling was a very radi
cal one. He said that he had never
known the parole law to be interpreted
that way before, and expressed the
opinion that it was meant to be ap
plicable particularly in the case of
these two prisoners.

‘DOES’’ AND “D0NT’S”*0N i SUFFRAGETTES APPEAR
DOW TO CARE FOR INFANTS
State Health Board Advises
Mothers - Feeding and
Clothing Discussed
A list of “do’s” and “don’ts” on baby
feeding and baby care has been prepared
by the state board of health for the
information of mothers and the benefit
of babies. These rules are worthy of
observance, at all times, but are espe
cially applicable to the summer season.
Following is the advice on the care
of infants, as furnished by the state
board of health:
Feed your baby, if you can, from
your own milk.
If the child is well and healthy, and
the mother can not feed it, the best
obtainable food is modified cow’s milk
—modified and prepared under the
physician’s directions to suit the age
and condition of the child.
Don’t overfeed the child. The amount
of food should always be reduced in
hot weather.
Don’t give your child under twelve
or thirteen months of age any solid
food. The child should be weaned at
the end of the first year.
Cleanliness and purity in the food
can not be too greatly emphasized.
Keep the bottles clean. Boil them
after each feeding. When filled with
fresh, modified milk, stop them with
cotton and keep in a cool place until
needed.
Keep the nipples clean. Wash after
using and place them in a solution of
boracic acid until needed.
Don’t “dose” the baby. If the baby
is sick, if it has a bowel complaint or
fever, stop its food at once and g^t a
doctor as quickly as possible. Many
babies are killed every year by too
much home “dosing.”
Don’t overheat the child with flan
nels and heavy clothing. The clothing
should be light particularly in hot
weather. k
Give the baby its daily bath, at all
titties.
Don’t keep the child in a hot, stuffy
room.
It is well to allow young children
the utmost freedom compatible with
their safety. Let them do those things
that nature and instinct demand. Let
them sleep as much and as long as
they will.
In a word, keep the child clean, and
keep its food pure and clean.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Advocates
of “votes for women” were ready for
their inning when ,the senate woman's
suffrage committee met today. The
anti-suffragists were given two hours
Saturday to explain their opposition to
the proposal that an amendment call

Leaders of the “cause” had attended
the anti-suffragist hearing and declared
they were ready to answer the argu
ments made at that hearing, both gen
erally and specifically.
The suffragists began their hearing by
calling upon several members . of con
gress for their views. Senator Warren
indorsed woman suffrage in a letter;
Senators Chamberlain and Lane and
Representative French made brief
speeches, and Senator Ashurst, a mem
ber of the committee, declared himself
in favor of the movement.
Today s hearing was given up to the

NANCY, France April 24—Another in
ternational military aviation incident oc
curred on the France-German frontier
this morning, when a German army
aeroplane alighted on French territory at
Nord Arraeourt. Two German officers
in uniform were on board. These were
Captain Devail, chief inspector of avia

The local military police and French
customs officers hastened to the spot

yon of the German government to the
repeated landings of German military
air-craft in-France and to the serious in

currences.
M. Cambon was directed to ask Ger
many to take measures to avoid the re
currences of such incidents and, discuss
with Franoe the drafting of rules for set
tling further happenings of this kind.

out into the gulf. Young Abbott alone
of those on shore could swim, and he
struck out bravely to save his friend.
Grinton was only semi-conscious when
Abbott reached him.
Those who witnessed the deed have
already taken steps to secure a Car
negie medal for the boy.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Whether
lithia water bottling concerns may bot
tle and label their products “lithia
water” when the lithium is present only
in small quantities is to be decided
in the district supreme court today in
a case which the government has
brought against a water bottling com
pany of Buffalo Lithia Springs,
Va. It is the first test case
under the pure food and drugs
act and the decision will have an im
portant bearing on the labelling of all
bottled mineral waters in the future.
Government experts contend that the
waters of the Atlantic ocean contain
practically thirty times more of the
mineral than the average bottled lithia
water and that Potomac and Mississippi
river water yields much more lithium
than the bottled samples they have ex
amined.
Officials of the bureau of chemistry
assert that it would take twenty-four
barrets of the average brand of so-
called lithia water to produce a me
dicinal dose of/lithium.
Dr. Carl L. Alsberg, chief of the bu
reau of chemistry will appear in court
as a government Witness for the first
time since he accepted that office.

MOTHER IDENTIFIES
LITTLE ROBERT DUNBAR
COLUMBIA. Miss., April 22.—The
boy taken from an Itinerant peddler
here several days ago suspected of be
ing the Dunbar boy, missing from his
home in Opelousas, La.. since last
August, was identified by Mrs. 0. P
Dunbar, the child’s mother, today.
Fearing that announcement of the
identification of the child by its mother
might lead to an attempt to lynch W. C.
Walters, the/itinerant peddler, in whose
lianas the child was found, a strong
guard was placed around the jail where
Walters is being held.
Mrs. Dunbar on arriving here from
New Orleans last night was taken to
the home of a deputy sheriff, where
the child lias been kept and remained
there until it awoke this morning. A pa
thetic scene was enacted when the little
long missing child opened its eyes and
recognized its mother.
“Mother," he cried as he reached up
and stretched out his arms to her. The
mother convulsively embraced the boy
and then fainted. She was soon re
vived, however. The father of the stol
en boy yesterday had partially identified
him as his son by the marke on the
body. Owing to his unkempt condi
tion and change caused by exposure, the
father awaited the arrival of Mrs. Dun
bar before making a complete Identi
fication.
The parents, accompanied by their
long-hunted son, will probably leave
here Monday for Opelasis, La. A cease
less search has been kept up for the
missing boy and thousands of dollars
have been expended running down clews
in widely separated parts of the coun
try.
