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 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.

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.

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 BEADED UPON IT 20 JEMS Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound Has Been This Woman’s Safeguard All That Time.

A67 INDIANAPOLIS, «Nt>, z 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. (Copyright. 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) 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 dlmmdTeis mSHION Old, Faded Apparel Can Be Recolored and Made Over, Stylish, New Don’t worry about perfect results. Use "Diamond Dyes,” guaranteed to give a new, rich, fadeless color to any fabric, whether it be wool, silk, linen, cotton or mixed goods,— dresses, blouses, stockings, skirts, children’s coats, feathers, draperies, coverings. The Direction Book with each package tells so plainly how to dia mond dye over any color that you can not make a mistake. To match any material, have drug gist show you "Diamond Dye” Color Card.— (Advt.) 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. that she liked me all right, but I 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 advise me how to meet a strange 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. SHULLS MILLS, N. C„ February 10, 1920.

The 15-year old girl has golden brown hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, and wears glasses, height 5 feet 6 inches weight 132 pounds. Do I w-eigh enough for my height? I have a lot of boy friends. I like the boys as friends, but I am not wanting any sweethearts. Don’t you think I am right? lam in the eighth grade in school. I like to go to school and like all my studies. I am real fond of music, although I do not know very much about it. Will you please advise me what to do? Complete my education, or take music? The 18-year-old girl has chestnut brown hair, blue eyes, real fair som plexlon, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weight 132 pounds. Do I weigh enough for my height? I am talking to a boy, aged 24. Is he too old for me to talk to? What colors do you think would suit me best? How long must I wear my skirts? What will be the leading colors this spring and sum mer? Does it look nice to wear Havana brown shoes with any kind of a dress? Please give us advice in the Semi-Weekly Journal. Please advise us. Thankfully, we are. S-—K- V., the 15-year-old, am crazy to be a nurse. Fifteen-year-old: You weigh enough for your height. I ad mire your sensible mind; if oth er girls at your age would keep their minds from boys and pay more attention to getting an ed ucation they would be best off, in the years to come. If you wish to become a nurse, there are plenty of splendid hospitals where you can get thorough training and it is an excellent field for a young, strong, healthy girl. If will -take a strong girl, • because the work is very stren uous. 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.

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.
