AIR SERVICE IS
GIVEN BOOST BY
PRESS OF STATE
SOUTHER FIELD, March 21—The
publicity officer at Souther Field says:
“If we do not get sixty good men to
enlist here by Monday next to be as
signed to the air service with a possi
bility of taking flying instructions
when they pass examinations and fifty
per cent, increase of pay when they be
gin to fly; if we fail to have designated
landing places near every city and
•town in the state to be ready for a
great aerial service in the future, and
experimental use at present; if we do
not, in fact, set the wheels in motion ■
to establish this aerial service
throughout the United States before
July 1, and many other important’
movements bearing on this subject, it
will be no fault of the press of Georgia'
who have given unlimited space in set- 1
ting forth the merits and value of the 1
air service. I
“With the crossing of the Atlantic;
ocean by airplane within the next thir- ’
ty days, and the establishing of a gen-,
eral aerial service in the United States I
within a short period, 1919 will go into
history as a year of great aerial
achievements. The telephone was in
this position of introduction to the'
American people 42 years ago; the au-*
tomobile 19 years ago.”
The officer repeated what he has said
before, that aerial development will
exceed relatively that of the telephone
and automobile in 10 years.
“I regret to add,”he said, “that
Georgia’s automobile development has (
been retarded for want of good roads,'
but there are bright prospects ahead,
thanks to the officials who now have
the good road question in hand.”

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Best Way to Treat
Constipation
BY S. C. BABCOCK, M. D
The medical books name many drugs
that will move the bowels. The drug store
shelves are loaded down with laxatives,
purgatives and pills. The trouble with
most of them is the af'er-effects. Con- ,
stipated people know that pills work all .
right for a little while, but they soon lose ;
their effect, and a change has to be made
to something else. The constant taking of I .
pills results in a form of bowel inactivity
that is difficult to cure. The system be- ' '
comes so accustomed to laxative drugs 1 ’
that the organs just won’t work without I
them, and so the pill habit becomes as bad I
as constipation itself. Dr. Pierce, of Bus- I
falo, N. iseems to me to have the right I
idea. lie says the bowels should first be I
gfently moved with Pierce’s Pleasant Pel- |
lets, and in the meantime laxative foods
only should be eaten. Figs, prunes, olive ,
oil, spinach, bran, vegetables and fruits are
fine for constipation. Chew every bite r
thoroughly, eat little meat, and be as
active as possible Now, doesn’t that
seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets will start
?he bowels working right; then it is up to
you to keep them right by right eating.
Try Pleasant Pellets for sick headache,
coated tongue, biliousness, dizziness, tor
pid liver or to break up a cold. They
are just fine!
Dr. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment
soothes, cools and heals piles in a most
gratifying way. Perhaps there is no other
remedy for this torturing trouble that
relieves so surely and quickly. Dr. Pierce >
believes Anodyne Pile Ointment will over
come any case that can be overcome by I
medical treatment. Try it right now.
Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets are intended I
for people who suff >r from kidney dis
orders—whose back: ache, and whose
systems are overrun with uric acid. Nearly '
everybody has too much uric acid. <

BARBARA BEGS NEIL TO TELL Or’
3 HIS RELATIONS WITH BLANCHE.
CHAPTTER XLIV.
After dinner was over we played
bridge, two tables. Os course I did
; not play with Neil, and was seated
Iso I could not see him. But I knew
[ he could not talk anything save tri
t vialities during a game, so I gave
!my attention to my cards, winning
, ’ compliments upon my playing from my
11 partner—a quiet, middle-aged man
jj whom I rather liked.
) As I look back on the main crises
' of my married life, it seems to me that
1 it has nearly always been some ordi
-1 nary thing like bridge, or danving,
that has helped me over them, and that
' has enabled me to hide my feelings
' successfully.
| Foolishly, I did not wait until we
reached home to question Neil.
“What in the world were you and
, Mrs. Orton arguing so earnestly
about” I asked as soon as we were
seated in the car.
■' “We weren’t arguing”
“Oh’ yes you were! at the table. I
' saw Lorraine looking at you in such
a queer way, it attracted my atten
tion.”
I “We were talking of a little busi
ness.” His tone was cold, and did not
invite further remark.
| “But what business can you have
with her?”
■ “She owns stock in some of our
1 companies, if you must know.”
“Is it making her money?”
Neil looked at me through narrowed
Hds. Never had I seen quite that
look in his eyes. Most women, I be
lieve, wake up suddenly rather than
i slowly, to anything that savors of a
difficult situation. But invariably if
, we look back we see that it has been
| existent for sometime! that many
, events had led up to it—particualrly
if the situation is a marital one.
I I repeated the question.
| “Not lately,” he replied, then look
i ed moodily out of the wjndoy.
i “Neil.” I said slowly, “T don’t know
what it is, but there is something you
will not tell me —something connect- ,
ed with Blanche Orton,—your relations
' with her.”
“For heaven's sake, Bab, are you go- '
ing to play the part of a jealous i

wife?” I saw plainly that Neil did
not intend me to saY any more to him.
that he did not mean to tell me any
thing, yet I persisted.
"I don’t know what is wrong, Neil.
But I am sure there is something. 1
have been so wrapped up in the baby,
that I have been blind to other things.
I never have been your partner, but
I have not been shut out of every
thing as I now am lam sick to death
of not knowing things. I want you to
begin tonight. We'll start all over.
You tell me the things which I, as
your wife, should know. I feel that
our future happiness should depends
upon perfect confidence between us.”
I laid my hand on his knee, and lean
ed my head against his shoulder. We
were nearly home. It would not be
easy to take the subject up again. I
wanted an answer now.
“You tend baby. I’ll look after oth
er things,’ more gently than
he yet had spoken, but with a weari
ness in his voice. And he moved the
arm against which my head rested un
easily.
For a moment I felt helpless. I had
an impulse to carry on the conversa
tion—to insist upon knowing what the '
earnest talk with Mrs. Orton portend-'
ed, even though I precipitated a quar
rel. Then I hesitated. I would not
be so tactless, there were other ways
by which women advised themselves
of things they wished to know. I
would also find some way to satisfy I
myself.
Neither of us talked mucß when
we reached home, but Neil was cross
and nervous. He sent me off to bed,
but he sat t up late working in the li
brary. Once, when I crept near the
library door to see what he was do
ing, I heard the rustle of papers, and
went quietly back without disturbing
him.
It was long before I slept. The
