Soldiers’ Women Folk
Barred by Department
From Going to France
WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.—Women and
warfare don’t mix. the war department
ha* decided. Hence, it has instituted
the policy of sending home any Amer l *
can officer who permits his wife or
mother to go to France to be near him.
This rule today is working better than
the former restriction simply refusing
the wives permission to go to the front.
They then used to make application to
the Red Cross to be sent to Europe as
nurses or aids.
General Pershing holds that the pres
ence of such near and dear relatives de
moralizes single-minded devotion to
duty.
59 YEARS OLD
HALE AND HARDY
And Praises Cardui, Which
f She Says Pulled Her
Through a Most Dan
gerous Period
.MERCER. Ky.—"About 15 years ago.”
writes Mrs. W T. Ball, of this place.
"I began suffering with change of life,
and was suffering very much. . . T “be
gan taking Cardu* after having suffer
ed for 3 years, and I was dreadfully
nervous. Hardly felt like doing my
work. Couldn’t sleep well at nights.
However, after several doses of Cardui
f saw an improvement and in a few
■ days I could do my work with ease
.and in two weeks I was able to walk
six miles and went to the street fair
at Central City and enjoyed myself.
After using two bottles. I got my natu
ral health and strength and ft pulled
* me through that most dangerous of
periods in a woman’s life with no
: rouble or suffering.
I am now hale and hardy, and was
•'.y years old the 11th of this month. . I
will rever cease praising Cardui. which
did me so much good It also saved my
daughters life when she had such a
dreadful spell . .
Over 4<» years in use. Cardui has
proven its efficacy as "the woman's
tonic." If you are weak, and rundown,
and suffer from symptoms of troubles
peculiar to aromen. give Cardui a trial.

* A Stubborn Cough
Loosens Right Up
i This home-made remedy Is a
? wonder for quick results. Ea»-
. lly and cheaply made.
i -...
The prompt and positive action of this
simple, inexpensive home-made remedy
in quickly healing the inflamed or swoll
en membranes of the throat, chest or
bronchial tubes and breaking up tight
coughs, has caused it to be used in more
homes than any other cough remedy.
I'nder its healing, soothing influence,
chest soreness goes, phlegm loosens,
breathing becomes easier, tickling in
throat stops and you get a good night’s
restful sleep. The usual throat and
chest colds are conquered by It in 24
hours or less. Nothing better for bron
chitis. hoarseness. croup. whooping
cowgh. bronchial asthma or winter
coughs.
To make this splendid cough syrup,
pour 2 1-2 ounces of Pinex »6ft cents
worth), into a pint bottle and fill the
bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup
and shake thoroughly. You then have
a full p at—a family supply—of a much
better cough syrup than you could buy
ready-made for 32.50. Keeps perfectly
and children love its pleasant taste.
Pinex Is a special and highly concen
\ traced compound of genuine Norway
pipe extract, and is known the world
over for its promptness, ease and cer
tainty in overcoming stubborn coughs
and chest cold*.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for “J 1-2 ounces of Pinex" with
full directions, and don’t accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to rive absolute
satisfaction oc money promptly refunded.

Pear Children: I hope by the time this is printed 1 will be able to
say I have met some of my nieces and nephews at the Southeastern Fair.
The letter of Lillian Milners which we are printing today is tilled
with such loving, generous thoughts that 1 want to thank her again here.
Now my dear children, it was a misprint if the paper read that 1 was born
in September, for the day I started on the road to being the “Aunt” to so
many loving nieces and nephews was November the 1 Ith, and if on that
day I receive a picture and a card of good wishes from you, or even a
card if vou haven’t the photograph you can spare. I will be a very happy
Aunt, and you know how much I will appreciate the thought that prompts
the sending.
The next states to have a letter contest will be Mississippi and Louis
iana. it will begin on the 16th of October and close on the 25th.
With much love.
AUNT JULIA.
p 3—Please children, write carefully; some of the letters even my
loving eyes could not read, so how could I expect the printer to read them.

ONE WOMAN’S By Carolyn
I STORY 1 Beecher
CHAPTER CH.
ROBERT left the room., but was
gone only a few minutes when
he returned with his bag in his
i hand.
"Good-by, Margaret. Take good care
of yourself.” and be kissed me. “I see
I the children are in the yard. I’ll say
! good-by to them out there. I'll prob
; ably be back some time tomorrow.”
As usual, he hadn’t mentioned where
ihe was going. If I wanted him I
would have to get that information at
i his office.
“Good-by. Mr. Carleton, I am sorry
;to be obliged to rush away," and he
Iw as gone.
I can’t explain just why, but for the
remainder of Harper’s call I was un
comfortable. I had an impression that
in some way Robert disapproved of his
being with me. although he had never
in any way criticized our friendship or
objected to Harper’s visits.
The next day on his return it was
proved I was right. And for a few mo
ments I was happier in Robert’s disap
proval than I had been in a long time.
He had at last shown jealousy of me.
“I don’t mean to criticize you, Mar
garet, nor to find fault with your
j friends. But ft would be well to remem
ber that it takes very little to start
unpleasant gossip. The servants may
talk, if no one else does, if you allow
Mr. Carleton to call so often, or to keep
you so well supplied with flowers. I
am able now to pay for all the flowers
you desire, and should much prefer do
ing so.”
“I don’t find fault with your friends;
nor when or where you see them,” I
answered perversely, although my heart
was beating happily at the thought that
lat last he was jealous, and so he must
.care for me a little. \I had the mis
taken idea that there no love be
' tween man and woman kithout jeal
iousy.
“I am not finding fault, neither do I
, care personally how often you see him,
[or any other gentlemen whom you care
to receive. It Isn’t anything like that.
You are my wife and I trust you im
[plicitly; but I hate to see you doing
I anything that ma,y cause you regret.
lor set foolish tongues to wagging.
However, you are the judge of what
you want to do. I shall say nothing
more.”
“Because you dare not,” I felt like
screaming, “you know you are in love
with Phyllis Lawson, and perhaps with
that blond girl in your office. You
would not dare find fault with me for
allowing a good friend to call upon me
and bring me a nosegay,” but instead
I turned away without answering.
The disapointment when he told me
that "personally” he did not care, and
I I realized that it was not any jealousy
'of me that had caused him to speak.
I filled my eyes with tears and I turned
away that he might not see them.
How gladly I should have told Har
per to remain away, how happily I
should have done all he wished, had
■ he put his' request on the ground ut
• his own feeling for me. the hurt that
would have been his. But now I would
in my pet phrase ’show him’ and I at
once proceeded to do so by saying:
“I care as little about what people
say of Harper Carleton or any other
gentleman calling on me, as you do of
what may be said when you take
Phyllis Lawson, or any other attract
ive woman client to dine with you.
Fortunately we both are above such
petty ideas. Mr. Carleton admires me,
strange as it may seem to you. He en
joys my society; I do his. It would be
ridiculous for two good friends to allow
a little gossip to interfere with their
friendship."
“As I said, you must do as you think
best,” Robert returned a trifle wearily
i I thought, then he left me, left me to
spend a long, lonely evening in which to
wish for Harper Carleton’s society.
As I sat on the piazza after the chil
dren had gone to bed, I thought of our
conversation anent Harper Carleton, and
smiled as I recalled the simple friend
ship we had each for the other. Could
Robert know this he would certainly
be even mure willing to trust me. J
couldn't help a little thrill of pride as J
remembered that he had said he trusted,
yet why should he? He gave me no
reason to be true to him. My own pride,
my babies—more than all my love for
him had made it easy to repulse Harper
But suppose I ceased to love him —
what then?
Once more there flittered through my
mind the desire to do something, be
something of account in the world, and
so busy myself that I should have
neither time nop inclination to grieve
because my husband neglected me. But
then Bruce’s pale face came before me,
and I knew that until he had whollj’
regained his health, which had begun
to be doubtful, my place was with him.
Yet I would not let it deter me from a
thorough preparation. Sometime I
felt 1 should need it. Sometime I
should be unable to endure Robert’s
coldness, and still remain quietly ,at
home.
For hours I sat bathed in the moon
light, trying to plan some way to make
: Robert feel that I was worth caring
i for, worth keeping now that I was his.
' But alyays there obtruded Phyllis Law
i son’s beautiful face, thoughts of her
■ cleverness, and his interest in her, and
what she did.
But finally when I at last went to
I bed it was the face of the blond ste
nographer that I saw between me and
Robert. Phyllis Lawson had faded
away, and Pearl Bailey had taken her
place.

kind through all our trouble 1 couldn’t
bear to send her away. Then. too. 1
really loved Katherine Mulhany, and so
I braced up and went down.
"When you are busy, or for any rea
son prefer to be alone, do not hesi
tate to say so when I run in, for I
can come again,” she said after I had
greeted her. I knew that with her
usual perspicuity she had detected
something wrong, and feared she was
intruding.
“I was not busy, neither did I en
joy my own company so much that I
cared to be alone," I assured her. "I
am horribly depressed today, but for
no special reason. Your being with me
will do me good. Take off your things
and have luncheon with me. I feel
better already.”
At first she demuxes, but when I
let her see that 1 really desired it. she
laughingly agreed.
I always believed, always shell be
i lieve. although I had not been fool.sh
enough to give her my confidence to
comnlain about Robert’s neglect, that
she knew that I was unhappy.
I As we talked the conversation veered
I around to men and women who were
i unhappily married. We spoke of the
great love most people have, or think
they have, for each otjier when they
; marry, and how. with many, it soon
| dwindled and died.
; “Do you know. Margaret, that I be
lieve there arc tides in love as there
are in the ocean,” Mrs. Mulhany re
marked after a short silence. “There
are times in married life when the
tides are low, and again times when
the waves return toward the shore and
the tides are high. Some of us have
temperments that are like certain
shores at low tide, with all the flot
sam and jetsam washed upon our
shores. If we do anything rash at such
times, try to launch our boats of hap
piness or unhappiness, we are sure to
regret we hadn't waited until the tides
flowed strong and high again. We think
love is gone, when it lias only receded
for a time. If we had patience to wait
it would surely flow back again, per
haps stronger than ever, and wash
away the flotsam of mistrust and error.
“If when we had fears.” she went
on, “we would only share them with
the loved one, it would give identity
of interest. But if we keep all our
thoughts, our aspirations, our fears to
ourselves there is no bond between us.
Only the bare walls of convention. But
children are always isles of safety.”
“Indeed they are,” I exclaimed, re
membering how my babies held me.
“And, my dear, there is little or no
happiness in married life without trust.
We must trust, and if slips are made,
why we must treat the men as children
—they are really nothing more—and
take tight hold of their hands and stand
them upright again. We must encour
age Instead of finding fault, trust in
stead of question. The happiest woman
I have ever known was one whose early
married life was one long agon}' because
of her distrust of her husband.”
“But—did she have cause to distrust
him?” I asked.
“Great cause,” she answered so so
berly that I wondered if she could be
talking of herself. I had heard that
Tim Mulhany was rather wild when
younger. “She knew him unfaithful for
over two years. The woman who en
chained him was a beautiful, attrac
tive, highly accomplished woman in his
own walk of life. Afterward there was
another. But his wife loved him. She
would not give him up.”
“But how?” I broke in.
“How did she do it?” you want to
know. “It was hard, but she never al
lowed her husband to know she sus
pected him. Had she, of course, she
would have been obliged to take cogni
zance. But as I said, she loved him,
and forgave him in her thoughts even
when he did not realize that she knew
she had anything to forgive.
“I couldn’t do it!” I declared impul
sively. “I know I couldn’t!”
“Let us hope you may never know
the need,” she smiled at me in an im
personal way that gave me the idea
she was not talking with a purpose, and
so made me more comfortable. I could
not be more interested. “But if you
loved enough,” she continued, “and the<
need arose. I imagine you would be ful
ly as brave as this other woman who
really was not brave at all, but whose
love was greater than her pride.”
“But—” again I tried to interrupt.
“Be sure to keep your husband’s con
fidence, Margaret. Be interested in all
that he tells you. Regard it as the
greatest compliment he can pay you
when he talks of his business affairs
with you; and keep such confidences in
violate. Because, my dear, if men do
not find that interest at home, they are
bound to find it elsewhere, perhaps, like
my friend’s husband, with some other
woman.”
“Why always a woman?” I asked care
lessly.
“Women, my dear, are more sympa
thetic than men, more apt to flatter a
man by praising his superior intelli
gence, and his business sagacity. And
you know the sterner sex all like that.
Even my dear old Tim is not impervious
to a little flattery.”

BASH AUTOMOBfLUG.
Today’s paper tells of two auto
wrecks in Atlanta, on ewhere a friend
of mine has been seriously injured, and
the other where eleven persons, mostlj’
negroes, were perhaps fatally hurt. In
Loth cases there were colliding auto
cars, one rash driver running into the
other car.
When such things happen there
should be sufficient penalty to make
other auto drivers take notice, and they
will take notice if they must pay
enough in fines to hurt the packet
nerve.
It looks to me as if the majority of
these rush drivers are racing about to
show smart, and to impress themselves
upon bystanders, as something extra.
The law of the road is always to drive
to the right, and the roads are generally
wide enough to give a good margin,
and there is no sort of excuse for those
who quit their own side of the road to
run down other cars who are minding
their own business in a proper way.
It is hazardous to allow small bovs
to run cars in crowded places. They
are lacking in judgment as well as
physical strength. I know it happens
that these youngsters do escape acci
dents very often but the-risk is great,
and there should be a street law to
compel careful drivers, because the
peril and danger is great, that you may
be as easily killed by being run into
as if you had run your own machine
over an embankment or against a tele
phone pole by your driving.
There is a great deal of leniency
shown to careless drivers, who plead
innocence when a car is demolished
and other people are the victims.
It is like firing a pistol—in an aim
less way—into a crowd of moving peo
ple. A stray shot can easily kill un
fevspectmg people, and careless auto
drivers can run down and slaughter
excellent people wbo suspect no danger.
WAB AND CUTTD
There seems to be a rush to matri
mony as well as war—in these autuminal
days. I have been trying to investigate
the why and wherefore. Perhaps the
girls prefer to be war widows to war
spinisters, and perhaps the soldiers want
to leave what they own or expect to
own to their sweethearts.
An old father, whose son was con
scripted and had gone to the cantonment,
came to see me a few days ago. His
eyes filled with tears as he spoke of his
desolation—and he continued, “he is a
good boy—he left with us his savings
account, well over S7O0 —and told us—
his mother and myself—“that will be
yours if I never come back.”
Somehow. I think that was a good ex
ample for other soldier boys; but there
are scores of them who get married and
leave next to nothing for the girl he
leaves behind him. Unless I had some
thing in cash or something to leave in
the young wife's hands, I would dislike
just to marry and then leave her for
somebody else to support in my absence.
That old father’s eyes glistened with
tears, but he was all the same a proud
parent to have such a thoughtful son.
War is a hard master on youthful anti
cipations and human passions. There is
a desperateness that goes with any
service which gets in the blood of young
sters.
If the marrying will hold the soldier
true to his manhood and his absent wife,
then the marrying will play a good part.
In the other war of the sixties a good
many men strayed clear off—and there
was much confusion and some compli
cation. Nevertheless Cupid and war
work in some homes.
THE LEMON REMEDY.
As chilly weather comes on I get calls
for a republication of what is known
as the lemon remedy! Ever since I could
remember a hot lemonade has been used
and recommended to “break up" an in
cipient cold. I found what was known
as a “lemon remedj’” some years ago.
and my attention was awakened to the
curative property in lemons for colds
and lung troubles.
I will copy it here as I recollect It:
“Boil a dozen lemons until they are
soft enough to squeeze the juice from
pulp and rind. Sweeten according to
taste, but the sugar is likewise heal
ing. Boil down the juice and sugar
until it is well mixed and thickened.
“Let the patient drink a half teacup
ful after every coughing spell, until re
lieved.”
It is so simple and lemons are in
such common use that it would seem
to be nature’s remedy to relieve the
paroxysms of coughing I fancy it will
be much easier to give to children than
strong drugs in weakend stomachs.
There are hacking coughs that are of
tentimes the result of indigestion. Then
the remedy must be something differ
ent. especially if lemons are too acid
to become a curative agent.
CAN TOV SUPFLY THE POEM?
Dear Mrs. Felton: Will you have the
poem “There Is No Death" published
in The Semi-Weekly Journal? This is
one verse:
“There is no death, the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore:
And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown
They shine forever more.”
I have lost the poem and am anxious
to get it again. Your friend,
MRS. D. J. ALMON.

Does Hoover Practice
What He Preaches? He
Does; Read the Proof
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—What does
Herbert Hoover eat?
Does he observe meatless days? Does
he conserve wheat and sugar? Does he
attend banquets?
“Does he practice what he preaches?”
The country is entitled to know.
Red meat —beef —is found on the
Hoover table not more than once each
v eek. Fresh meats of all kinds—beef,
pork and mutton—are served not to ex
ceed three or four times in a week, ap
proximately every other day. The meat
menu is supplemented by using more
fowl and fish.
As to wheat, pure white bread never
is found on Hoover’s table. Corn bread
and corn muffins are consumed in great
quantities and graJiam bread and breads
of mix4sd flours are the order. Hooker’s
table, in fact, has been the testing
ground for a great many experimental
bieads.
Practically the Only sugar used is for
sweetening coffee and tea. and this re
duced to a minimum. There are no
cakes heavily iced, no sweet desserts.
Unsweetened rice cakes are a favorite.
Fresh fruits are used for desserts. The
only sweet he uses in any quantity is
honey.
Vegetables and fruits in season form
the backbone of the Hoover menu.
Hoover himself has eaten more water
melon than anything else this summer.
As to banquets—Hoover hates them
He never goes if he can escape. But
the few he has attended this year have
been primarily food conservation lay
outs.
Yes, Madam Housewife! Herbert
Hoover is the sort of leader you can
follow.
AN OPERATION

Philadelphia, Pa.—“ One year ago I
was very sick and I suffered with pains
in my side and back
until I nearly went
crazy. I went to
different doctors and
they all said I he 4

would not get any
relief until I would
be operated on. I
had suffered for four
years before thia
time, but I kept get

medicine I took. Every month since I
was a young girl I had suffered with
cramps in my sides at periods and was
never regular. I saw your advertise
ment in the newspaper and the picture
of a woman who had been saved from
an operation and this picture was im
pressed on my mind. The doctor had
given me only two more days to make
up my mind so I sent my husband to the
drug store at once for a bottle of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and
believe me, I soon noticed a change and
when I had finished the third bottle I
was cured and never felt better. I grant
you the privilege to publish my letter
and am only too glad to let other women
