Girls ! Beware of Men Who Are
Married !
Dorothy Dlx, in Atlanta Georgian.
I hope that every in the len^lh
•ml breadth of the land has been read-
np the sad and terrible story of Hazel
Herdman, who murdered the wife of
ner lover and then took her own miser
able life, because the wife would not
pet a divorce from her husband and
leave him free to marry her.
The stark trapedy of such a story
preaches a sermon more powerful than
any printed or uttered words upon the
wickedness and the folly of younp wo
men carryinp on love affairs with
married men.
Many pirls indulge in these shady
romances. Many girls are proud of
their abdity to attract married rnen,
•nd boast of such conquests. Let them
all be warneil by the fate of this poor
girl, for in some degree every one of
them sooner or later will share in the
agony she suffered; for while not every
Jove affair with a married man ends in
tiloody murder, every one ends in a
(deeding heart for the woman.
The girl who permits herself to be
drawn into a love affair with a married
man is not only a Binner, but she is a
fool. She is playing a game in which
the dice are loaded.
All the odds are against her. She
is giving all, risking all, while the man
risks nothing. He does not even take
the chances of a bachelor on having to
marry her if he compromises her or be
ing Bucd for breach of promise if he is
faithless. His marriage certilicate
protects him from the consequences of
his wrongdoing and leaves the girl to
hear the burden alone.
It ia useless for her to claim that he is
more guilty than she because he has
been a traitor to the wife that he had
sworn at the altar to bo true to, while
she is free to give her love where she
pleases. Society will draw its skirts
away from the woman and snoer at her
with acorn, while it digs the married
Iyothario in the ribs, winks at hint, and
tells him that he’s a very devil of a
fellow among the girls.
The woman who ehooseH the primrose
path takes enough risk, God knows,
Out she who elects to tread it with a
married man is freedomed to walk only
upon thorns She does not have even u
sporting chance at happiness!
That a married man should be fasci
nating to an inexporinced and silly girl
m not surprising. For one thing, he
represents to her forbidden fruit, and
the very knowledge that he belongs to
another is a certain fillip to a llirtation
with him. It fills her with a delicious
sense of wickedness to have clandestine
meetings with him and little dinners
and suppers that are spiced by the
thought of what would happen if his
wife should suddenly walk into the
restaurant.
Also, in many women, there is a
streak of mischievous cruelty. It
gives them pleasure to think of bow
they are torturing some fat and middle-
aged wife with jealousy, and of how
she is cutting down on the grocery bills
to pay for the champagne they are
wasting.
Hut the chief fascination of the
married man is that he plays the game
of love with the sure hand of a profes
sional. The very fact that he ts mar
ried has made him wise to the psychol
ogy of woman, and taught him u hun
dred little ways to touch a woman’s
magination nnd emotion that the bach
elor does not know. He plays with a
girl s heart as a cut docs with a mouse
and she has just as little chance of
escaping us the mouse hus, once she
(•ermits herself to get within his claws.
The great majority of married men
w’ho make love to girls ure dasturds,
without one ray of conscience or honor,
To amuse themselves they ruthlessly
offer up a young woman on the altHr
of their pleasures; for they know, even
if she does not, what a love affair with
a married man means to a girl and the
price she must pay.
She may be idiot enough to think
that a girl can go automobiling with a
married man, or be seen at the theatre
with him, or out dining with him, with
out comment being made upon it,
other thun a kindly and friendly at
tention. Hut the man knows that even
if he is as chaste as ice and pure as
snow that you could never convince a
censorious and scandal-loving world of
it.
Such a man will deliberately win a
girl's heart for the sop to his vanity
that it is, knowing that it can bring
her nothing hut misery. Tnen when
anxiety and battled desire have won the
freshness from her beauty and the
gladness from her spirit he will gladly
take shelter behind his wedding ring
and tell her that she has no right
to reproach him, that Hhe knew all the
time that he was bound to another.
Sometimes a married man does fall
honestly in love with a girl, hut how
selfish is the love that drags a woman
into the slough of a hopeless entangle
ment! The man knows that he can
make no return to the woman that he
hinds to him that will not compromise
her.
He can only keep her from marrying
and establishing a home of her own. He
can only till her heart so full of love
for him that there is no place in it for
another. He can only give her a love
that, is the most blighting curse on
earth to her.
The girl who indulges in a love affair
with » married man comforts herself
with the hope that he will divorce his
wife and marry her. This is a weak
reed upon which to lean. Divorce is
not to be had for the wishing, nor does
the man always wish for it. Often the
very married man who is befooling a
girl and leading her to perdition gives
whatever of honor and respect he is
capable to his wife, and would not
think of bestowing his name upon the
frail creature with whom he amuses
himself.
And always, for the girl who falls in
love with a married man, is that terri
ble, frantic jealousy of the wife who
hears his name, who has a right to be
at his side, who is recognized by so
ciety. No belief that the man loves
her the better can even quench this
jealousy in the heart of the other wo
man. It is a canker that eats into her
very soul, until it poisons her spring of
life and blights every joy.
No happiness endures that is built on
the misery of another. You cannot
sin without paying the price! That is
the moral that the story of Hazel Herd-
man teacheB to every girl who is fol
lowing along the devious path she trod.
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.
“My attention was first called to
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy aB much as twelve
years ago. At that time 1 was seri
ously ill with summer complaint. One
dose of this remedy checked the trou

Beef From the South.
New York Mnil.
If nature, in a generous mood, were
to offer to America a land of 2b4,OOU,-
000 acres, in which cattle could be
pastured from early March to late
November, Uncle Sam would probably
throw up his hat with joy, finding the
beef problem solved.
Yet America has such a region with
less than a third of its area in improved
farm land, with a population varying
' from 1-1 to 57 to the square mile, with
l room to raise enough beef to supply
the. entire Unied States.
I This is the gist of an informing dis
patch from Baltimore setting forth the
possibility of the nine Southeastern
States off-setting the decrease in beef
production in the West.
Cattle-breeding has proven success
ful in these States, with their climate
highly favorable. Room there is, with
out crowding industry or population.
Across to the great markets of the
congested Northeastern States, and to
foreign markets, is better than in the
care of the Western products. At
lanta, lia,, is 500 miles nearer New
York than is < On a ha, and cattle and
beef can be shipped from the South by
water us well as by rail.
Why, after all, should we be looking
so hungrily to Argentina, overlooking
the while the nearer possibilities of the
great South, which has only begun to
develop?

A Parable on Boys.
Verily, in this day and generation the
father raiseth up his son to strut on the
streets and sidewalks. He hangeth
around the soda fountain. He groweth
in knowledge of nothing save cigar
ettes and cuss-words. After he at-
taineth the age of lti he weareth trous
ers turned up two furlongs above hiB
feet and displayeth a noisy sock with
purple background and violets to the
front. He weareth low-cut tan shoes,
also a green tie. He looketh like a ba
nana merchant on the streets of Cairo.
The inside Of his head resembleth the
inside of a pumpkin. He falleth in love
with a spindle-shanked girl with pink
ribbons in her hair, and craveth for an
automobile that he may ride her forth
in the springtime. He scattereth his
pin money like a cyclone scattereth a
rail fence. He sitteth up at night to
write poetry, and giveth no thought to
the multiplication table. His mind
turneth to the varieties of life, and not
to the high cost of corn bread. Verily,
he needeth a board applied to the base
of his anatomy. He thinketh his father
a plodder and his mother a back num
ber. He pictureth to himself great
riches suddenly acquired. He dreameth
of steam yachts and private cars, and
thinketh himself the real stuff. He
I butteth in where he is not wanted. He
I critieizeth his elders. He purchaseth
| cheap perfume, and smelleth louder
than a billy goat. When he groweth
up he getteth a job in a store at $1 a
dav, and swipeth extra change from his
boss until he is caught.
Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and

One of the newest and perhaps oddest
uses for aluminum is its employment
in making the soles of shoes to be used
by workmen employed in wet and damp
places. The aluminum-soled shoe lasts
much longer than an ordinary shoe, and
is said to be impervious to damp.
Purifies Blood
With Telling Effect
Gives Conscious Evidence of
Its Direct Action.
S. S. S.. the famous blood purifier, almost
talks as it sweeps its way through the cir
culation. Its action is so direct that very
often in some forms of skin affliction the
appearance of the eruptions changes over
night, the itch and redness are gone and
recovery begins immediately.
As a matter of fact, there is one ingredi
ent In S. S. S. which serves the active pur
pose of stimulating each cellular part of
the body to the healthy and judicious selec
tion of its own essential nutriment. That
Is why it regenerates the blood supply ; why
it has such a tremendous influence in over
coming eczema, rash, pimples, and all skin
afflictions.
And in regenerating the tissues S. S. S.
has a rapid and positive antidotal effect
upon all those irritating influences that
cause rheumatism, sore throat, weak eyes,
loss of 'slight, thin, pale cheeks, and that
weariness of muscle and nerve that is gen
erally experienced as spring fever. Get a
hottl»? of S. S. S. at any drug store, and in
a few days you will not only feel bright and
energetic, but you will be the picture of
new lif«*. S. S. S. is prepared only in the
laboratory of The Swift Specific Co.. 534
Swift Bldg.. Atlanta, Ga., who maintain a
very efficient Medical Department, where ail
who have any blood disorder of a stubborn
nature may write freely for advice and a
special book of instruction. S. S. S. is sold
everywhere by drug stores, department and
general stores, but beware of all substitute*.
