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.

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. Cliapter CUI. I RECALL that one day when I was feeling particularly depressed Mrs. Mulhany called. At first I was I tempted to send down word that 1 was “not at home," but she had been so 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.” Farmers’ Union Holds Annual Meeting At Macon, Nov. 13-14 Announcement was made Friday that the annual meeting of the Farmers’ un ion of Georgia will be held in the city auditorium at Macon November 13 and 14, instead of the previously announced dates of November 1 and 2, which con flicted with thes state fair.

LAAvtU KONE Topics Con ducied Bv 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. Roopville, Ga„ Route 1. 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 AVERTED 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 female trouble and would not get any relief until I would be operated on. I had suffered for four years before thia time, but I kept get ting worse the more 0: t I 1 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 know of my cure.”—Mrs.THOS.McGoN IGAL, 3432 Hartville Street, Phila., Pa. -f 6 ELEGANT Ji I LACE CURTAINS I FREE TO LADIES if Send do money - amply art *e d addrm.
