DON’T OVERDO
OR OVER-EAT
But If You Do a Few Doses
of Black-Draught May
Prevent Serious Trouble
NOWATA, Okla.—Mr. W. B. Daw
son, ©f this place, says: "I have
known of ever since
I can remember. and of all the
liver m<dicJr*s I ever used, Black-
Draught is without doubt the best.
We would not be without it In the
house.
I used to take pills and different
things, but after taking a course
of alrong medicine I would be left
fn a constipated condition, and wouM
neel then to use a laxative. But
after I begun to take Black-
Draught I did not have any trouble
of this kind.
I take a big dose it night and
follow a few nights with 1 ght.er
doses, and I em like a new man
until I overdo or overeat, and neg
lect to take care of myself until
the liver gets out of fix, when I
. have to go to Black-Draught again.
Black-Draught I have found is
all that is necessary for the bloat

so common *n soring in the swampy
country.”

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am going- to ask you. my
friends, to please make your let
ters shorter and more to the
point. Also write on one side of
the page. I have so many let
ters to answer, and it consumes
a great deal of time to answer
such lengthy ones. Just state
what you want, in as few words
as possible. I will give you the
information desired.
Sincerely yours,
MARY MKREDITH.
I am a happy girl coming to you
for advice. I am a girl of eighteen
years and going with a boy of the
same age. I am engaged to marry
him. I love him very dearly and he
seems to think a great deal of me.
Comes to see me every Sunday and
never goes with any other girl, and
neither do I go with other boys. My
parents do not object to his coming
to see me, nor do they object to my
marrying him. I have a very dear
father and mother, and both seem to
think a great deal of me. This boy
is going to ask for me when I get
ready to marry, but I am not hardly
ready yet. I think we will wait un
til we are nineteen. Do you con
sider that we should marry? I know
I love him. I have been going with
him two years and never had a cross
word with each other. He seems
to be very kind to me and he loves
me very much. Will describe myself.
I am eighteen years old, blue eyes,
black hair, dark complexion, five
feet five inches tall and weigh 106
pounds. Is my weight correct? Do
you think white is the color to marry
in? How should I wear my hair?
HAPPY GIRLIE.
Any advice I may want to
give you would be superfluous
as you seem tp have your af
fairs well in hand. If you do
decide to venture on the "high
seas of matrimony,” I hope your
life will be very happy. White
is pretty for a fancy dress, and
a coat suit is very good and
practical for a jfcl of limited
means. Dark material is the
wisest kind to pifrchase. I can’t
tell you how to wear your hair,
but don’t have the “tootsie
rolls” on each side of your head
too extreme. Puffs over the
ears are not pretty when stuck
out so far.
I am a lonely girl coming to you
for advice. I am eighteen years
old and engaged to a boy twenty. He
is very dear to me and I believe he
loves me. Do you think I could

ROB’S GIRL.
Being engaged and marrying
seems to be the greatest idea
any girl ever had. I’ll admit
it is very sweet, but somehow,
when a boy is only twenty and
inexperienced it seems a pit;
to see him shoulder the respon
sibility of a wife. That is why
so many men at thirty figur ■
out “what’s the use.” All the
ambition and energy has been
taken out of them because the
burden of making a living for
two has been greater than they
realized. The man should be
old enough to understand what
110 is doing. And I don’t think
a boy twenty does. Girls can
marry at that age because their
minds are more developed than
the man’s. And they should
marry a man at least four or five
years older. However, if you
desire to marry and think you
will be happy, I wish you good
luck. Patent leather pumps are
very stylish, also pumps with
bows tied across the instep also.
Dear Madam: I am a girl of eight
een summers coming to you for
advice, for I have no one to tell
me. I am going with a boy of eight
een. I have been knowing this
young man for about seven years.
He is a nice boy. My father does
not care if I talk to him. Do you
think that I am too young to marry?
If so advise me for I have no
mother to ask. She died when I
was seven years’ old. I have blue
eyes and brown hair and weigh one
hundred and four pounds. Please ad
vise me what to do, marry or stay
with my father and brother; if
this is worth an answer please let
me hear from you. I know this
young man and he says he loves
me. BLUE EYES NORA.
You have been going with the
young man quite a while, and
you ought to know something
about him. If he has waited
this long for you, I dare say he
can wait a while longer. If you
have a good home and are con
tented and reasonably happy 1
don’t see why you should be in
a hurry to leave it. Remember
when you marry you are taking
a big chance. My advice is to
wait awhile longer.
I am a bachelor coming to you for
advice. I am thirty-two years old;
I love a girl twenty-four years old
very much; I called on her years
ago when she and I were young, but
she treated me a little wrong and
I quit calling; that has been about
seven years ago; I met her several
times since and she treated me very
nicely, so I called on her about two
weeks ago and she treated me real
nicely, and when I started to leave
I asked her If I could come to see
her and she said she would think it
over, and would not tell me anything.
Should I go back or should I not?
What do you think best? I thank
you for any advice you might give
me. I will close hoping to see this
in print. J. R.
Perhaps the young lady cares
for you only as a friend and does
not wish you for "steady com
pany.” But to ease your mind,
you might write her a note and
ask her if she has considered the
request you made in regard to
calling on her. You might tell
her of your admiration for her,
and how much pleasure it would
give you. In that way you might
kindle a little real interest in
her heart for yourself.
DOROTHY DIX’S TALKS
rhe Indifferent Sweetheart
BY DOROTHY DIX
i he Highest Paid Woman Writer in the World
I HAVE a letter from a young
woman who asks me what she
shall do with an indifferent
The best and simplest way to dea’
with such a one is to break off all
diplomatic relations with him, and
look about for a new Romeo, who
puts tror« pep and ginger into his
wooing. Indifference is a disease
that a man is all too apt to d .-clop
after marriage, anyway, and to de
liberately marry a man who is al
ready afflicted with a chronic case
of it before marriage seems like go
ing out of one’s way to coir ’ dis
aster.
Perhaps, however, the indifferent
sweetheart may have other quali
ties about him that atone for his
lack of ardor, and that makes !
seem worth while to the woman to
try to speed him up a little- —which
sometimes can be done, and some
times can’t, for the way of a man
with a maid belongs to the category
of mysteries that human ingenuity
cannot fathom.
Generally speaking, when a man
treats a woman he is fond of with
indifference it the woman’s fault.
It is because she has made a door
mat with WELCOME on it of her
self, and there is nothing in a door
mat to raise a thrill in a man’s
breast, or pique his interest.
It is a part of the eternal dif
ference betwen the sexes that a man
wants to always be chasing the
woman he loves, while the woman
always wants to stand still and be
caught. Men value most highly
the thing that they haven’t got.
Women gloat over the thing they
possess. A man wants another man’s
job, another man’s house, and de
spises his own. The mere fact that
a job, or a house is her own glori
fies it to a woman.
This temperamental difference be
tween man and woman is especial
ly marked in the way in which they
regard each other. The mere fact
that a woman is beyond his reach,
that she does not love him and
flouts him, is her greyest attrac
tion to a man, and makes him de
te...lined to win her.
is no uncommon thing ‘or a
man to marry a woman who tells
him frankly that she does not love
him, and is marrying him merelv
for a support, whereas a man rare
ly marries the women who has
dumbly worshiped him and prayed
God for ten years to send him to
her for a husband, and whom h-»
knows he could marry any minute
he says the word.
On the other hand, patient devo
tion nearly always captures a wom
an’s heart, and if her husband only
loves her enough it camouflages
every other fault and defect in her
eyes.
It is because the woman wants
the man who wants her and con
siders that the best bait with which
she can go afishing is to dangle her
heart before him, and because a
man desires most the woma- who
doesn’t desire him, and is most
allured by soma tld-bit whose flavor
he has not tasted, that woman han
dle the problem of the indifferent
man so badly.
Os course this is no new view ot
the subject. From time imme
morial women have been told that
no man chases a street car after he
has caught it, and that if they
throw themselves at men’s heads,
the men will duck, but if they run
away from men the men will fol
low, if they have any interest in
them at all.
It also falls under their dally ob
servation that it is the girls who are
the craziest for attention from men
who get the least of it, that the
maidens who are anxious to marry
remain old maids, that it is the slave
wives who are most neglected by
their husbands, and that in the great
majority of cases the worse a woman
treats a man the more he appears to
esteem her, and the more anxious he
is to please her.
The French have a proverb to the
effect that in love one kisses, and
the other permits himself, or her
self to be kissed. Nothing Is truer,
and wise is the woman who assumes
the role of the kissee. It is the only
way in which she has any assurance
of getting kisses that are flavored
with romance and warm with senti
ment instead of being the lukewarm
flabby kisses of duty.
The greatest mistake that a wom
an can make in love is to let a man
find out that she is on the anxious
seat waiting for him to come along
and throw the handkerchief to her.
The knowledge that he can take her
up, or put her down, as he pleases
makes him leave her where she is.
She has cheapened herself to him,
and nobody is wild over a bargain
Probably the telephone has done
more than any other one thing to
blight love’s young dream, and is
more responsible for the increase in
the, number of spinsters, because no
man wants to marry the girl who
calls him up at his business and
hounds him over the wire about com
ing to see her, and making dates with
him. It gives him a trapped feeling
that makes him hang on to his bach
elor freedom with a death grip.
The second great mistake women
make in love is making a habit of
themselves. The men they love can
always depend on them being Sally
on-the-spot. They are ready to for
give everything, to overlook every
thing, and consequently a man takes
no pains to consider their pleasure
or convenience.
Why keep an appointment with
Mary if it is inconvenient? Her wel
come will be just as warm the next
time. Why bother to send Sally
flowers, or remember her birthday?
She knows you are busy and don’t
like to go shopping anyway, and she
doesn’t say anything, but you have
to be on your p’s and q’s with Maud,
who will go off with somebody else
if you do not show up, and with
Gladys who expects the homage due
a queen.
My advice to the girl with an in
different sweetheart is to beat him at
his own game of indifference. Don’t
be at home when he comes. Show
him that you can have a perfectly
good time when he is not about. Let
him wait for you when you have ap
pointments together. Let him watch
for the letter that never comes.
Indifference is a malady that is
best treated on the homeopathic prin
ciple that like cures like.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON’
extravagance ibt dress and
automobiles,
With shoes anywhere from five to
twenty dollars, and everything else
in proportion, it looks like we should
try to be economical as to Spending
money on such things, but the stores
are packed full of these expensive
things and the folks buy the highest
priced, with the excuse that the
cheap ones don’t look good, and the
high-priced should be the cheapest
in the end.
Granting that the high-priced
should be the best, which does not
always happen, we are wondering
why somebody does not rise up to
say: “Try to put a little of the
money in a savings bank for a rainy
day.” The merchants understand
the people they deal with. They are
in the market, to sell, not to preach
economy. In the prevailing hyste
ria that is affecting state and na
tional affairs, where tax money is
flung around like the "sower went
forth to sow,” in the days of our
forefathers, and the seed went flying
in the air, before it fell to the
ground. Our people are not looking
out for the reaction that is bound
to come one of these days. It has
never failed to come, and history is
all the time repeating itself.
And the craze for automobiles Is a
marvel. Our. people will buy them
Colored people, without a foot of
farm land—tenants—-hired hands, are
crazy for an auto car. The prices
does not hinder at all. They will
purcha.se on instalments and buy
new tires and pay for repairs, like
the people did in old Noah’s time—
(before the flood)—spent money and
made merry, without a thought of
the morrow.
The people seem to be walking on
stilts, with such amazing extrav
agance, for things they can do with
out, and do as well as they have
done for a past decade, as to getting
around the country. 1
Sunday is automobile day. The
preachers hold forth to empty
benches, and the joy-riders are put
ting on high-gear and flying over
the roads, just to be going fast—
and nothing else.
A Difficult Season for Tarniers.
A good many farmers are some
what discouraged because of the con
tinuous rainy weather which has pre
vailed during 1920 through January,
February and so far In March. There
are sections of country in the United
States where plowing can go on right
after a heavy downfall of rain, but
not in the section where I live. If
our farmers plow the land wet, we
will get clods to deal with all the
year—something like the clay in a
brickyard. But I remember one year
along in the early 90’s, when our
folks did not run a plow furrow un
til the Bth day of April.
It looked pretty much like we
could not make a crop because we
couldn’t get the cotton seed in the
ground early enough to make a crop.
We had some hired hands, and we
were feeding others, or supplying
them from the stores, by liberal or
ders to the merchants, and for which
we were bound to secure the pay
ment. They sat by a good fire and
looked out at the falling rain. It
was a happy-go-lucky time for the
hired folks, but it was a time of anx
iety and waiting for the landlord
and owner.
The ground was not any too dry,
when the plows got started on the
Sth of April. There was no time to
break the soil and prepare for a well
ordered year’s crop. We ran a mid
dle furrow, slapped down the fer
tilizer, and put the cotton seed in as
quickly as possible. Then we plant
ed some corn, and afterwards we
broke up the land between the new
rows, where the cotton was coming
out of the ground.
Providence smiles on the farmers.
We had sufficient rain to keep the
stuff growing, but not enough to
stop work. Then we had a late fall,
and nearly every boll on the cotton
stalk materialized into a handful of
seed cotton. The price, as I remem
ber, was around eight and ten cents
a pound, but we got enough money
out of the crop to pay taxes and the
big supply accounts at the stores.
AUNT JULIA’S
LETTER BOX
Dear Children:
Here is some more of your Honor Roll—not all, for you must
have some space for letters, too; and I have been unable to get to the
bank this week, so will not be able to give you an accurate statement
of our balance until next week, and will save the rest of our honor roll
until then.
You know while it takes many nickels and dimes to make the
dollars, it only takes the sending of one to express a splendid generous
spirit on your part, and I am surely proud of your record in benevo
lence.
Yvonne’s grandmother has acknowledged the receipt of the five
dollars we sent for Christmas, and as my letter asking about the
clothes crossed the one in which she told us how lovely she thought
they were, she again tells us of her deep appreciation and of Yvonne s
affection for her little American friends.

of boys and girls. Well, what are you
cousins doing these fine days? Going to

self. stepping behind a pair of pessalls. You
city kids don’t know what I mean, but you
farm boys and girls do. Say, cousins, don’t
you think Aunt Julia is a grand aunt to
be engaged in such a good work as helping
a poor orphan child? I know what it is
to give up our dear parents, for I had to
give up my papa last August. Say, cous
ins, hadn’t you rather help some poor Amer
ican child? I believe I had. for one. Well,
as it is the rule to describe our looks I
will trv it. Now. don’t get scared out of
your wits: Dark hair, blue eyes, fair com
plexion, height, 5 feet 10 inches; weight,
130 lbs.; age, 16 years. Now laugh, I am
through. If any of you pretty girts and
boys want to write to a lonely farmer lad,
let your letters fly (and mail and see if
you don’t get an answer) to

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
a new cousin to join your happy circle.
Papa takes The Journal and I enjoy read
ing the cousins’ letters. I live on a farm
of 125 acres; I like it fine. I go to school
and am in the fifth grade. Well, I will
describe myself if you all won’t run: I am
eleven years old. medium complexion, dark
hair, blue eyes. Well, did anyone faint?
I guess you all had a merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year. I did. Well, if this
escapes the wastebasket I will come again.

Hello, Aunt Julia: I wonder what you
are all doing this cold, rainy day? I have
been reading the letters in Aunt Julia’s Let
ter Box. and thought I would write. Daddy
takes The Journal and I surely do enjoy
reading the letters. I live on a farm and
like farm life fine. Guess you all are won
dering what I look like, so I will describe
myself: I am five feet five inches tall,
weigh 118 lbs.; have blue eyes, dark brown
curly hair and fair complexion. You bet I
am some bird. What do you cousins do for
pastime? I read, play the organ and like
to crochet, but my eyes are so weak I don’t
crochet much. Why don’t more of you Geor
gia kids write? 1 enjoy reading your let
ters fine, although I live in Alabama. I
moved from Georgia last fall, and can nev
er forget the dear “old state.” Guess I had
better hang up, before Mr. Wastebasket
comes along. If some of you cousins would
write me, I would be more than glad to
answer. Your new niece and cousin,

please let a North Carolina girl join your

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; Will you
please admit a west Florida girl into your
happy band of boys and girls? I live In
the country on a farm and like country life
fine. Aunt Julia, I think it was grand of
you to adopt the little French orphan. How
many of you cousins can “parlez vous
Francais?”
I guess most of you cousins are going to
school now. I sure like to go to school,
but am not going now; my school was out
in November.
For pastime I read, write, crochet and
help mama keep house.
Come on, Florida cousins, and don’t let the
other states get ahead of us.
As a rule, I will describe myself; don’t
get scared nnd run: Brown hair, blue eyes,
medium light complexion, 5 feet 4% inches
high, weigh 105 pounds, age fifteen years.
Say! come back, it’s all over now. My let
ter is getting lengthy, so I will ring off.
Cousins, write to me, especially Elbia
Kitchen and Elma C. Hall. Let your let
