BLACK-DRAUGHT A
FAMILY MEDICINE
Some Kind of Stomach
Trouble With Cramps and
Terrible Pains Made This
Oklahoma Man’s Life
Miserable Until Black-
Draught \ Relieved
Him
Chickasha, Okla. Mrs. J. W.
Walker recently said this: “We use
Black Draught as a 1 lily medicine
and think it is the only liver medi
cine made. My husband makes it up
and uses it as a tonic as well as a
laxative. I use it for headache, sour
stomach, a full heavy feeling after
meals, which I suppose is indiges
tion, and it certainly does me a lot
of good.
My husband had some kind of
stomach trouble —we don't know
just what. It would strike him just
any time in the day and cramp or
pain him just terribly bad. Someone
told him how to make a tea of the
Black-Draught, which he did. It did
him so much good it removed the
cause and cured him. Since then
we have praised the Black-Draught
to cur friends, and gladly do so.”
Seventy years of successful use
has made Thedford's Black-Draught,
a standard household remedy. Ev
ery member of the family at times
needs the help that Black-Draught
can give in cleansing the system and
preventing or relieving the tiouble-;
that come from constipation, indi
gestion, l..zy liver, etc.
Try Black-Draught. Sold by all
druggists.—(Advt.)

NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
If people would only learn the folly
of neglecting a cough or cold, much
suffering could be averted and the
development of many fatal diseases
prevented.
The experience of Mrs. R. S. Peder
sen, 129 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn,
N. Y., merely emphasizes the neces
sity of having the proper medicine
on hind for such emergencies. She
writes:
"One winter I had a severe cold.
I doctored myself for several weeks
with various pills. Finally, I was
forced to go to bed with heavy cold
in chest and head. I had a good at
tack of Lagrippe with large lumps
in my neck. My father persuaded
me to take Pe-ru-na and I was out
of bed in two weeks. I continued
the remedy for several weeks and
feel better than ever. Pe-ru-na has
also relieved me of pains in the
back and sides. I always recom
mend Pe-ru-na and my father is a
constant user.”
Pe-ru-na. being a tonic laxative,
regulates the digestion, enriches the
blood,, tones up the nerves car
ries its soothing, healing influence
to the irritated, congested, mucous
membranes in all parts of the body.
It is very beneficial after protracted
illness or an attack of grip or Span
ish Influenza to restore strength and
vigor to the wasted body.
Do not fool with a cold or any
other catarrhal disease. It is dan
gerous. Get the right remedy in the
first place, the remedy that for fifty
years has been known as a success
ful treatment for catarrh.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
January 25, 1920.
1 am coining to you for advice. 1
am thirteen years old. weigh 103
pounds, am 5 feet 2 inches. Am I
old enough to go with the boys as
friends? If so, what age should
they be? I am liking a boy of
eighteen years of age. He seems to
like me very much. This boy I like
lives fifteen miles from me. How
old should I be before I marry, al
though I am not thinking of mar
riage now. I go to school and am
in the fifth grade. 1 live in the
country. Do you think when a girl
marries she should work in the field?
I will appreciate your advice very
much.
BLACK-EYED E. M. G.
Adairsville, Ga.
My dear litle girl, you are
only a child yet. and far too
voung to thing of marriage. So
often girls marry at sixteen and
eighteen, and realize when they
reach their twenties how very
foolish they’ve been. So many
lives have been wrecked by
youthful marriages., Marriage is
a very serious obligation, and
vou will realize when it is too
late. The romantic notions you
have now are but idle dreams.
It is all right to go With young
men, provided you know them
very well, and your parents ap
prove. Keep at school. Educa
tion is what every girl and boy
needs, and while you have the
opportunity, make the most of it.
Miss Mary Meredith,
The Semi-Weekly Journal,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Madam —I am a girl of twen
ty summers coming to you for ad
vice. I went with a fellow about
six months regular. He bought me
several nice presents. Is that any
sign he loves me. We had a quarrel
about four weeks ago and he hasn't
been back since. Why does he try to
shun my presence? He told me he
loved me dearly and I’m sure I love
him. Please tell me -what to do to
bring him back. He hasn’t been
with any other girls. Should I go
with other boys? Is it any harm to
allow a boy to kiss you after he has
made love to you and always been
t-ue? Will he come back if he
thinks-1 am to blame? Should I pay
any attention to him when I see
him? SUNSHINE.
Answer—ls the young' man
gave you such nice presents, he
evidently must think something
of you. Perhaps you were to
blame for the quarrel. If so,
then it is up to you to make up
with him, write him a note an’
ask him to call. But if he is to
blame you will simply have to be
on your dignity. If he really
cares for you, he will eventually
make up with you. If he hasn’t
been with other girls that is a
very good sign he still thinks of
you. I don’t think young girls
should form the habit of kissing
men. It is not only bad. form
but cheapens a girl more than
anything else. Wait a while and
see if he won’t come back. I
don’t believe in returning pres
ents unless it happens to. be
costly gifts after one has be
come engaged. Indian giving is
a poor way to accept presents.
But young girls should be very
careful about accepting expen
sive presents from men. A fe
male grafter is a mighty ' poor
substitute for a real woman.
Miss Mary Meredith:
Dear Friend: I ant coming' to you
for advice. I am e. girl 19 years
age. I married when I was 17 years
of age. My husband treated me very

he left and I haven’t heard of him

him leaving.
I love my husband dearly. How
can I do to get my husband to come

THE COUNTRY HOME
CONDUCTED BY MRS.W.H.FELTON
The Fireside, the Birthplace of True
Greatness
A lovely school girl, living in a
progressive South Carolina town,
writes me that the high school pupils
giv given the above-printed sentence
as a subject for essays and composi
tions for a set occasion. She wishes
the Country Home editress to write
down some of the salient points on
this subject as here mentioned. As 1
have the floor, at this writing, I can
give you my individual opinions, and
leave the subject with you.
Almost all firesides (strictly fire
sides) have families to sit around
and about them. If these folks who
find firesides comforting in cold
weather are good folks, then the
children who are raised near to these
firesides can be depended on to grow
up into patriotic and law-abiding
citizens. But there are other fire
places, where another class of folks
build fires, who are' not good citi
zens, and sometimes they are very
sorry parents and poor examples.
To get down to “brass tacks,’’ sup
pose we write the sentence a little
plainer for general comprehension:
“The honest, even humble, fireside
can furnish truly great people to the
service of our cousntry.”
Thi is the great, the essential
charm of living and serving a gov
ernment by the people, for all the
people, and the great statesmen who
have lived and died in the service of
this American republic were by a
large majority the sons of hard
working parents, with humble homes
and firesides. It was the lessons of
economy, frugality, thrift and Indus
try, taught around these hearth-

Waycross, Ga., Feb. 25, 1920.
Route 2, Box 71.
Miss Mary Meredith: We are two
girls coming to you for advice.
Should a girl when she is engaged,
go with other boys and is it right
for her to let her sweetheart kiss
her good-by? Is it proper for two
girls and two boys to go car riding
alone on Sunday afternoons? Should
a girl correspond with a boy whom
she has never seen? How often
should young men call and how late
should they stay at night? How can
a girl who does not go to dances
keep her sweetheart from going?
How can a girl overcome jealousy?
TWO LONELY GIRLS.
When a girl has become en
gaged to a man—the man of her
choice—she really cares very
little for the society of other
men. It is not right for her to
make engagements with other
men, unless it happens to be an
•unusual case. Sometimes old
friends from out-of-town would
like to call for a short while,
if there is true understanding be
tween the girl and her future
husband, such a call from a gen
tleman will be proper.
There isn’t any harm for two
Couples to go car riding in the
afternoon. A girl should not
correspond with a boy she has
never seen. A young man may
call once or twice a week, and
10 o’clock to 10:30 is the usual
hour for leave-taking.
If your sweetheart loves you
he will refrain from going to
many dances for your sake. Per
haps if you would go some time
it may have a tendency to keep
him from wanting to indulge too
often.
Jealousy is selfishness and
vanity combinad—make yourself
attractive to other boys and try
to overcome such a fault.
I am coming to you for advice.
Is there any harm for a girl to sit
with . nees erersed before her fel
low'? Is there any harm for a girl
to laugh if she is with a boy Is
there any harm in passing letters
by hand? Is there any harm for
a girl to go with two boys at one
time? Is there any harm for girls
to powder and comb their hair be
fore boys? Is it any harm to ask
the boy does he love you? When a
boy asks you to marry him and yov
don't want to, what do you say?
ise give me your advice.
1 guess I am classed as old
fashioned in some of my ideas
and I think when a young girl
is sitting in the presence of a
man, whether father, brother or
sweetheart, she should at ail
times remember that she is a
lady and must keep her feet un
der her skirts and not attract at
tention by any act to lead them to
speak ill of her, or to criticize her
in any way.
It is the height of bad man
ners for a young girl to make
her toilet, such as combing her
hair and primping, before the
young men who call upon her.
Kissing is a dangerous nastime
and not to be indulged in. When
a girl bestows.a v iss on a boy,
she has given him something
sacred, and if he does not really
love her, she has lost, some of
her self-respect and in her own
as well as his eyes is cheapened.
stones, that have made the United
States the most wonderful govern
ment in the known world. With .Eu
ropean royalties the circumstance of
birth controls the ambition of royal
ty. The divine right of kings has
been the preachment of autocrats,
the. world over, and the late world
war was the natural disagreement of
ambitious kings seeking other worlds
to conquer.
In our American republic we elect
new national ruler once in four years,
and eight years has been the hitherto
limit. A third term, is or has been,
an unpopular theme, since George
Washington, the first of our presi
dents, declined a third term and
penned one of the very few superior
documents that were ever writ
ten at any time, in any place, or
under any other conditions, in the
world’s history. It is also an as
sured fact that any youth who has
the mind and the will can make up
his mind to be a president if he is a
native “to the manner born.”
To be a really great man, requires
goodness to be a component part of
his makeup. No hall mark can be
placed on the American baby in his
cradle to foretell what he is going
to make of himself, and there must
be real genius of greatness, latent in
the cradled baby, and the chances
for a great name in American his
tory, have in the great majority
of cases, been as freely given to
the poor boy as the rich one, in our
own republic. As a rule great wealth
seems to be a drawback to superior
excelleripe in all the lines of endeav
or known to science, literature, re
ligion or invention. The temptation
to live easy has weakened the en
deavors of many a child of proniis
Ing genius. The desire to be sorqe
thing, to live tor something, and to
overcome difficulties seems to need
the prod of necessity.
To get back to the fireside, as the
hope of the nation, it simply means
that every man in the United States
is'born free and equal, as to birth
right, and what he makes of himself
depends largely on the home he is
lorn in and those who give him nis
earliest lessons in human life. Good
blood counts. It counts for health,
also for physical and mental vigor.
A sound mind in a sound body can
be inherited by the boy in the work
man’s cottage or the ’miner’s camp,
if his parents are clean-living and
upright progenitors, and evidence
their responsibility by rearing their
offspring in ways of justice and
righteousness.
Pruned of all the unnecessary ver
biage that can be piled around an
augment the basic start for greatness
begins in the home and the lessons
taught tlie American youth when the
youth’s mind is unworn and tender,
easy to receive and always to re
member the '-ounsels, the encourag -
ments, and the warnings that are
given by good parents to their ch'i
di-en in the privacy of the home.
DOROTHY DIX’S TALKS
The Wife and Her Money
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Highest Paid Woman Writer in the World
SHOULD a woman who has
property of her own turn it
over to her husband when she
gets married?
Ninety husbands out of a hundred
will answer this question in the af
firmative. No idea is more thor
oughly fixed in the average mascu
line consciousness than the belief
that when there is any money in a
family it belongs by devine right in
the breeches pocket instead of the
handbag. It seems an almost im
pious thing to most men for a wom
an to have financial independence,
and especially does it seem an im
pious thing to a husband for *his
wife to have money that she can
spend as she pleases without giving
an account to him.
Men found out long ago that the
hand that holds the pocketbook is
the hand that rules, and that there
is no slavery more complete than
that which is comprised in one hu
man being depending upon another
for food, and clothes, and shelter.
The wife who must look to her hus
band for every mouthful she eats
and every rag on her b'ack, and the
shelter over her head, is in a very
different relation to him than she
would be if she had her own bank ac
count. /
That is one phase of the matter.
Another is that practically every man
can use a little more money in his
business, still another phase is that
every man is perfectly certain that
he knows more about handling money
than a woman does, and can invest
it to better advantage. Still another
phase of the matter is that he rea
sons that the money is all in the
family, anyhow, so why shouldn't he
have the prestige of using it, and
signing the checks, and having the
property all in his name?
Wherefore he reaches out and
grabs wife's roll unless her fathei
has held different views concern
ing the rights of a husband to his
wife’s property, and has tied the
money up in trust so that hubby
cannot get his hands upon it. What
husbands think about their rights to
their wives’ property is abundant
ly proven by the fact that it has
taken years and years of bitter strug
gle to get laws passed giving women
any property rights at all. ’
Os course, there have been, and
are, many men who want their wives
to keep their own. Nor is every man
who feels that his wife should turn
over her property to a grafter, and
a scoundrel who means to cheat her
out of her money. It is mostly a
survival of the old theory that a
wife is a chattel who belongs to a
man and that what she has is his,
but no matter what the man’s mo
tives in taking his wife’s money from
her. the effect on her is the same.
She loses out. She is left de
pendent on his bounty and must ask
of him as a favor the money that
belongs to her by rights. She has
given away her birth right, and while
one may admire her generosity one
can but deplore her judgment.
If the husband Is all that he
should be —generous, kind, and faith
ful, it may make no difference to
the wife who holds the purse strings.
But suppose the reverse of this is
true, and the husband is niggard
ly, and withholds even her own
money from the wife, or worse still,
he Is a gay philanderer and the wife
sees him spending her money on oth
er women? Could any drop in the
cup of jealousy be bitterer than that
for a wife to drink?
Nor need a man be guilty of any
crime to dissipate his wife's for
tune. Many of the best men in the
world, many of the most lovable
many of the men who are the most
devoted husbands are poor business
men. They have no financial acu
men. The very gentleless, the very
sunny optimism that make them so
delightful to live with unfit them
for stern, hard, practical, unsenti
mental grappling with commercial
problems.
It is always a temptation to a
Rabbits Killed in Drives
Idaho has conducted rabbit drives,
ln recent weeks, on as big a scale as
• Ul en the country was new. Because
the cold weather brought the rabbits
by the thousands to feed in the ir
rigated lands, they threatened to
do extraordinary damage in some
sections. One drive netted over 8.-
000 rabbits and another 3.503. Tn
Minidoka county, Idaho, 29,000 jack
rabbits have been killed this winter
in organized drives and 60.000 addi
tional by poisoning campaigns. Once
school was dismissed to permit the
boys to take part. Four hundred peo
ple participated. Six rabbit drives
in Lincoln county, Idaho, resulted
in killing 1,800 bunnies. Each event
took on the character of communi
ty gathering. Sandwiches and cof
fee were Served.
CurlruFOnions in the Field
Onions are sometimes allowed to
cure in windrows in the field, anl
if the weather is clear, yellow and
red varieties can be handled suc
cessfully in this manner. It is
preferable, however, to place them tn
slatted crates soon after topping
and pile in open sheds or in stacks
in the field. In the latter case the
piles should be covered with tem
porary roofs for protection from
rain. Exposure of white varieties
to damp weather in the field will al
most invariably prove fatal, an!
they should be placed in a curing
shed, where advantage can be taken
of clear weather and protection can
be given during rainy periods.

woman to turn her money over to
such a husband because she loves
him so, and because he’s always
about to make a million on some
chimerical scheme, but money runs
through such a man’s fingers like
water through a sieve, and the end
of the family is in bankruptcy and
want that could so easily have been
prevented if only the woman had
had enough sense and firmness to
hold on to her fortune.
The woman who turns her property
over to her husband robs her chil
dren of just so much in case of her
death, for it is notorious that sec
ond wives, and the second set of
children, almost invariably come into
the bulk of the property in a man’s
will, no matter from what source
the money came. There is not one
of us who does not know of some
case in which the children of the
first wife have been denied the edu
cation they should have had, and
have had to get out and scuffle for
themselves, and live a poor, hard
existence, while the children of the
second wife have gone to fashion
able schools, t and lolled around in
automobiles on the money that came
through the first wife.
This is not to say that a woman
who has property should not help
her husband. She should. She should
,be generous witn him. She should
use her income tor the upkeep of
the family, but she is a foolish wom
an who turns over her property to
him, and takes the control of it
out of her own hands.
For one thing is. certain. If a
man is the right sort of a man he
will be glad to feel that his wife is
protected from the horrors of pov
erty, independent of all that he can
do to save her from it. And if he
is not the right sort of a man, then
she will need nwe ’♦han ever the
protection that money gives a woman.

TELLS SECRET
A Beauty Specialist Gives Home-
Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair.
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
beauty specialist of Kansas City, re
cently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
“Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will darken
gray hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To a half-pint of water add
1 ounce of bay rum, a small box
of Earbo Compound and 1-4 ounce
of glycerine.
These ingredients can, be pur
chased at any drug store at very
little cost. Apply to the hair twice
a week until the desired shade is
obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. It does not color the
scalp, is not sticky or greasy and
does not rub off.” —(Advt.)
