FAMILY MEDICINE
Some Kind of Stomach
Trouble With Cramps and
Terrible Pains Made This
Oklahoma Man’s Life
Miserable Until Black-
Draught Relieved
Him
nickasha, Okla. Mrs. J. W.
Walker recently said this: "We use
Black Draught as a illy medicine
and think it is the only liver medi
cine made. My husband makes it up
ana uses it as a tonic as well as a
laxative. I use it for headache, sour
stauMM>2?, a full heavy feeling after
meals, which I suppose is indiges
tion, and it certainly does <ne 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 i tea of the
Black-Draught, which he did. it did
him so much good it removed the
cause and cured him. t.nce 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 troubles
that come from constipation, indi
gestion, I.: liver, etc.
Try Black-Draught. Sold by all

LADY IN BROOKLYN, N. Y.
NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
If people would only learn the folly
of neglecting a cough or cold, much
Buffering could be averted and the
development of many fatal diseases
prevented.
The experience of Mrs. R. S. Peder
sen, 129 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn,
K. Y., merely emphasizes the neces
sity of having the proper medicine
on hand 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 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 and 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 ry>t 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- I
ful treatment for catarrh.

DOROTHY DECS TALKS
Which Is Worth More, a Wife's or a
Husband's Love?
BY~ DOROTHY DIX
The Highest Paid Woman Writer in the World
THE other day a newspaper con
tained accounts of two suits
that had been brought for
alienation of the affections.
In one, a vise sued another wom
an for stealing her husband’s love
away from her. and the jury award
ed the plaintiff $2,500 damages.
In the other case a husband sued
a man for robbihg him of his wife’s
heart, and the jury assessed the hus
band’s damages at SIO,OOO.
From this it would appear that
what is sentimental sauce for the
goose is not rich enough sauce for
the gander: that a wife’s love for
her husband is four times as val
uable as his love for her. and that
when he loses her affection he has
sustained four times as great a mis
fortune as a wife does when she
loses her husband’s love.
The jury’s appraisement of the
relative value of masculine and femi
nine love gives us pause for thought.
Yet when we consider the difference
between the quantity of woman’s
love and man’s love, we can but
agree that it was nothing more than
just what the penalty for the theft
of one was rated as mere petty
larceny, while the other constituted
high robbery and misdemeanor and
was punished as such.
Reflect upon the manner in which
man loves, and the way in which
woman loves. “Man’s love is of his
life a thing apart, ’tis woman’s whole
existence. Men have died, and worms
have eaten them, but not for love.”
Thus declare the poets, and nobody
has ever disproved the assertion. A
man gives to his wife the fragment
of his heart that is not set upon
himself: the fraction of his inter
est that is not devoted to his work
in his career: the portion of his time
that is not taken up by business or
golf, or his other pursuits.
Man’s affection is a bit of chiffon
that he drapes about a woman when

she is young and pretty. It is a
I lovely thing, but it lacks wearing
I qualities, for the most part. As a
I general thing, a husband’s love for
I his jvife depends on her age, her
i looks, her high spirits. If he is de-
I voted t oher, and faithful to her
I still after she gets .old, and fat, and
grizzled-headed, or becomes a peev-
I ish invalid, every one marvels at his
I constancy, and it is the consensus
j of public opinion that he should be
I given the croix de guerre of mat-
I rimony.
In view of the evanescent quality
■ of masculine affection it is easy to
. see why the wives who sue sirens
for vamping their husbands nevei
j get big damages. ’ Jurys do not hold
| that they are entitled to them, or
j consider that they have lost anything
I very valuable that may have been
I useful in holding things together,
I but is no priceless jewel.
On the other hand, a wife’s affec
tion is the most indestructable ob
ject on earth. Her's is the love that
1 is all wool and a yard wide, and
I that is guaranteed not to run, nor
' shrink, nor fade in the wash, and to
1 stand the wear and tear of life.
She can love the unlovable. She
' can be faithful to the faithless. She
can fish a man out of the gutter,
wash him clean with her tears, and
set him up on a pedestal and make
a little tin God of him. So he who
possesses a woman’s heart has not
only a source of daily comfort, and
strength and sustaining, but he has
also a piece of bric-a-brac that is a
constant curiosity and wonder to all
who observe it, and. that is valuable
beyond all reckoning.
I More than that, a man's wife is
! his caterer, his laundress, his valet,
■ his conscience, his saving bank, his
j safety valve, his salve spreader, his
I sparring partner, his standing ex
| case for everything he does and
' omits to do, and for him to be rob
bed of a’l of that aggregation of con
veniences is to leave him poor and
desolate indeed.
In estimating how much a man
loses when he has his wife’s affec
tions purloined from him, we must
-Iso take into account the fact that
it diminishes his earning capacity
, and reduces his chances of success.
1 because it removes his strongest in
‘ eentive to effort.
In the old romantic days a man in
i love proved his devotion by putting
I on his armor, mounting his battle
| steed and faring forth to do deeds
l of valor for his lady love. In these
, times the man in love proves his de
votion by hustling out and making
' moriey, or getting somewhere, to
i prove his affection for the woman
i he loves.
! Comparative few men ever achieve
success, or save money, or hold down
a big job until after they get mar
ried. It is when a man has a wife
whom he loves and for whom he
wants limousines and diamonds and
fine houses that he rolls up his
s’.eeve and does the work that counts.
There is a direct ratio between a
man's earning ability and what he
thinks of his wife, for men cash in
their affections in dollars and cents.
And, curiously enough, just as a
j man’s love for his wife leads him on
j to, prosperity, an unlawful love near
i ly always spells disaster to him, and
! many a man’s bankruptcy and ruin
has begun in his flirtations.
It is because domestic affections
j mean peace, and happiness, and a
I calm mind, and ambition, and pros
: perity that a wife's love is so val
; viable, and the man who is robbed of
i it has lost this chief worldly pos-
I session, and is entitled to such com
} pensation as the courts can give him.
But, as a matter of cold fact, not
i many men or women are really rob
' bed of their wive’s or husband’s af
fection. They lose them through
their own carelessness, and if they
: had been attending to business,
I watching and guarding the precious
thing entrusted to their care, It
would have been safe from the de
predations of sneak thieves.

THE COUNTRY HOME
CONDUCTED BY MRS.W.H.FELTON
A Word to Youthful Married Folks
The Semi-Weekly readers have had
advice to lonely girls—ad seriatem.
Very good advice too, considering
these lonely girls are usually on the
lookout for marriageable connections.
But the lonely girls do get married,
as a rule, and they generally marry
young men (some marry widowers
and bachelors) —and then they begin
to manage or mismanage their life
affairs very shortly.
As a rule young married folks are
very little acquainted with the real
nature of their affianced. They are
never apt to see the sunny side of
anything until they are yoked to
gether. Where they match up all
right they can pull a steady oar for
life's duties and opportunities, but
it is entirely dependent on their mu
tual understandings and desires —
whether they ever agree upon the
mutual obedience to their own part
nership contracts —as individual
partners.
No two families are ever conducted
in the identical same plan. There
fore experience is the only teachet
to be relied upon. Experience means
doing it yourself and not another.
Some folks are born “bossy”—it is
in their nature to rule or ruin. Other
folks are born lazy. It is in their
nature to be waited on, and let the
other one do the work—the plan
ning and the paying.
The only way possible to keep such
a household together, is to bear with
the boss, and put up with the lazy
one. Some of the children will be
bossy and some of them will be
waited on. and they will hand down
their own individual inheritances to
those who come after them.
It is not always that the man is
the boss—or the woman the lazy
member of the family—but the trend
is in that direction. When two-high
strung ones get to gether, the chances
are that something will break. And
when two lazy ones are mated they
must be born rich or go to the poor
house. Nevertheless it is an estab
lished fact that one half of the world
ij supported by the toil and self
sacrifice of the other half.
There is plenty of tyranny and
laziness in the land to make the most
of households, more or less, unhappy
There should be a happy medium
somewhere. The ideal home is where
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I get so marly letters from
girls getween the ages of thir
teen and eighteen, who’s one de
sire, it seems, is to want to
marry. Married life is not play.
It is a serious obligation, and
many trials and heartaches ac
company it. The divorce courts
are full of couples who married
so young they knew or cared for
nothing, except each other—for a
few weeks. When they awakened
to the realization that marriage
meant more than having each
other—then the trouble began. A
girl under twenty is too young to
take the responsibilities of mar
ried life upon her. By the time
she’s thirty she will look arid
feel like an old, old woman. So
many girls have an idea that
marriage means getting away
from 'work and trouble. They are
perfectly willing to saddle them
selves to a man in order to shirk
some duty at home. Such girls
ruin men instead of helping them.
Miss Mary Meredith: I trust you
will advise this lonesome girl. I’m
nearly eighteen. I’m always sad.
Folks say I haven’t any sense. I
have tried with all my heart to be
like other girls, but it’s in vain. Is
there any book or anything you know'
of would help me? If so I w’ould
thank you a thousand times to tell
me. I have always heard said a per
son born on Thursday would be sour
and sad. I believe it, for I was born
on Thursday.
I never have any boy friends. My
girl friends have them every Sunday.
I always spend Sunday afternoon
with my parents. Is it all right for
two or three boys to go where there
is just one girl? I know of some who
do. Don’t like boys, only as friends,
but I don’t have those. My parents
say I haven't got any sense and when
any one comes they are going to keep
me out of the parlor. If we couldn’t
stay in the other room we could stay
outdoors. They are always mad;
hardly ever speak a good word to me.
I’m the only girl they have. They
are mad when any one comes. Please
tell me how I can be sociable.
I thank you for advice.
A TROUBLED LITTLE GIRL.
P. S.—Some one has been writing
boys letters and signing my name. I
never see the boys to tell them I
didn’t write. What can I do?
ANSWER.—You are too young
to be so sad, and I think what
you need is “out-of-door life,”
sunshine and the society of cheer
ful companions. You stay too
much alone, and It is very un
wholesome for one so young.
Forget yourself—try to think
things out. Cultivate your mind
by reading good books. I will
send you a list of those I think
will benefit you, and don’t let
your mind dw’ell on what people
say about you. It is not right
for your parents to tell you, you
haven’t any sense. And it’s per
fectly proper for you to have
boy friends. They will not only
get you out of your self-con
sciousness, but be the means of
helping your mental state.
Mary Meredith:
I am coming to you for some ad
vice. I had a girl friend and I got
to loving her dearly, and she said

mutual forbearance and patience can
be seen and felt, and where there is
mutual respect and affection on the
part of both man and -wife. Some
of the happiest married people I
ever knew were plain and hard-work
ing folks, but these attributes of
patience and forbearance were al
ways in evidence and they under
stood each other and could bear what
ever came to them, weal or woe,
because their minds were in unison
and their respect undiminished.
A great many newlyweds are af
flicted with a selfish sort of jeal
ousy. The man thinks the woman is
in error if she proves fascinating
to the boys she had known before
matrimony interrupted. If he is a
shallow- pate he talks too much of
his rights to govern his own house
hold. And a good many young mar
ried W’omen do not relish attentions
given to the girls he used to run
with in bachelor days. It does not
require very much of this sort of
thing to upset the “pail of milk”
“that Webster’s blue-backed spelling
book used to illustrate vain expecta
tions and unforseen disappointments.
The poor man thinks his wife is
his own property, and she thinks she
has a right to please herself in
choosing her company. Too often
they run to a divorce court to set
tle the difficulty. If there are no
children the damage is serious. It
is a well established fact that it
requires the best there is in both
mother and father to give what the
offspring needs beyond anything else,
a happy home where everybody be
haves themselves and tries to do
their duty.
One of the saddles things is
where a young woman trades off her
youth and pretty face for an old
man’s money and what money can
buy. I have seen some qf such
matches, and the result is not what
either expected to get. There are
hundreds w’ho get tangled up in
matrimony because they expected to
realize what was not possible in the
partnership. Better a scanty meal
and constant effort to make a liv
ing than an idle woman or a jealous
man in the house; if the marriage is
not based on mutual confidence and
respect the house is built on shift
ing sands.

don’t believe she cares anything for
me, and she fell out with me and
went -to going with other boys. Can
you advise me how to gain her
again? If so, advise me how, and

girl whenever I want to mfeet one.
LIGHT HAIR.
Light Hair:
Perhaps you let your girl
friend impose upon your love for
her. Kven with "girl friends”
one loves dearly, one can’t get
too intimate. When you see her,
be kind to her, treat her as if
i you didn’t know she had turned
against you. You will heap coals
of fire upon her head, and if she
has any conscience she will make
up with you. When you wish to
meet a strange girl, get some one
who knows both you and she, to
introduce you. And if you do
not know anyone, call upon her
and be sociable and natural. She
will return your call, and friend
ship will naturally be the out
come of your visit, if you try to
make yourself likable.

Eighteen-year-old: The young
man is plenty old for you. Dif
ferent shades of blue, and bur
gundy, also rich greens would
suit your hair, eyes and com
plexion very well. Taffeta is the
leading silk, then wool jersey,
and tricoluette. For general
wear a dark satin is more prac
tical and many are shown in the
shops. Dark brown shoes can
be worn with most any color.
1 am coming to you for a bit of
advice. I am a girl eighteen years
oi age. I am going with a boy
twenty-nine years old and I love
him dearly. He tells me he loves me
better than any other girl he has
ever seen, and has asked me to marry
him. I told him I would. I love
him as I have never loved another.
We are to be married in about two
months. He wants me to kiss him.
Will it be all right? Do you think
he is too old for me? And do you
think he really means to marry me;
Hoping to see this in the paper, as
I have written once before for ad
vice but it never was printed.
“RED HEAD.”
If you love the gentleman and
he loves you, eleven years is not
too big a difference in your ages.
If he has asked you to marry
him, I really believe he means
what he says. Os course, you
must know that familiarity
breeds contempt, so do not allow
him too many privileges before
marriage. Men have more re
spect for women who are a little
reserved in their nature. Am
sorry your first letter went un
answered.
AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER BOX
Gee, Aunt Julia and cousins, I am dis
charged from the navy and you all ought
to have been with me yesterday. I receiv
ed 203 letters in one mail from the cousins.
Gee! Children and girls, if I could send
you all a box of candy I would be the hap
piest boy in the world. I can’t hardly write
to you all, but I will, though it will be
some time when some of you hear from me,
but just sit still until I can get them all
answered. I am not taking any chances.
I just shut my eyes and grab, and answer
the ones I grab. Some of you were asking
where I lived. I live at Resaca, Ga., but
I am in Macon, Ga., now. I will leave
soon for home to stay. I live on a farm
and like it fine. Some of you cousins were
asking for Aunt Julia’s address. It is,
Aunt Julia’s Letter Box, care Semi-Weekly
Journal, Atlanta, Ga. When I bet home I
will send you all one of my picture. I
thank you all very much for your kindness
and wish you all the best of luck and health,
and hope to receive 203 more letters soon.
I will answer them as soon as I get time.
Good-by. Lots and lots of love to Aunt
Julia and the cousin.

On Drifting Ice Floe for
Months, Men Relate Voyage
Scientific data of considerable value
were obtained by a party of fifteen
men who returned to civilization re
cently after spending about five
months on a drifting ice floe in the
Arctic ocean, according to Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Special atten
tion was given to the currents in
eßaufort sea, that part of the ocean
which stretches north of Alaska and
Canada as far as Banks Land, and
numerous soundings were made in
the cold water. Teh floe on which
the strange voyage was made was
seven miles wide and fifteen long.
Many seals, polar bears, ducks and
land birds made their homes on the
floating block of ice.

How I Cured
Rheumatism
by PETER SAVALA
I threw away my crutches fl
in seven days, in two months, H
I was a well man—and I have |
never had a twinge from rheu- R
matism since. This is what the !]
remedy, which I obtained from
my uncle in Greece, did for me
I went home to Greece crippled,
broken in spirit—sick. I returned to
this country in two months, abso-
I lately free of every trace of rheu«
matism.
The whole story of my life in t,
America —how I became crippled I
with rheumatism and how I found »
the treatment which uprooted the j
disease and drove it out of my body
—I will gladly tell you FREE. i
It makes no difference how swol« I
len or distorted your joints may be; I
how severe the pain; or how discour
aged you are; I feel sure that I have
the means of helping you to find
relief in a few days and a lasting
oure in just a few weeks.
Just write me personally. Sayt— 'Tell me
