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
lon. of thiw place, says: "I have
known of Black-Draught ever since
I can remember, and of all the
liver medicines 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 strong medicine I would be left
in a constipated condition, and would
need then to use a laxative. But
after I began to take Black-
Draught I did not have any trouble
of this kind.
I take a big dose it night and
follow -t few nights with l.ghter
doses, and I pm like a new man
until I overdo or overeat, and neg
lect to take dare of myself until
the liver gets out of fix, when I
have to go to B! ack-Draught again.
Black-Draught I have found is
all that is necessary' for the bloat
ed • feeling in ’he stomicn, sour
stomach or bad taste in the mouth
sp common in soring in tae swampy
country.”
Try Thedlo.-l s Black-Draught. At

DOROTHY DIX’S TALK ON
Being a Woman
BY DOROTHY DIX
The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer
A group of children were playing
undernearn my window.
“I am going tc be a banker,” said
another.”
“I tm gc‘ng to be a general and
have medals tn my breast, and riae
a big white horse when I grow
up,” said cne .ittle boy. “I am going
to be a doctor when I am a man.”
said another. ‘Tm going to have
a hotel, ” proclaimed another little
boy. “I’nr going to be a woman,
when I’m grown,” piped up the one
small girl whom thte boys had con
descended to permit to play with
them.
“Aw, Marjory isn’t going to be
anything but a woman when she
grows up. That’s nothing!” jeered
the little boys.
But I smiled pityingly at Marjory.
I knew that,she was slated for the
hardest job on earth, and that her
life work could comprise that of all
the careers the little boys had chosen.
And then some. For a woman has
to be a soldier, a doctor, the family
savings bank, and run a hotel that
gives food and lodging to man and
beast just as sort of side lines to
her regular business of life.
We are in the habit of speaking
of being a woman as a kind of cinch.
Especially if a woman does not have
to go out into the world and earn
her own living, she is regarded as a
darling of the Gods, and men are
forever telling her how lucky she
is, and how easy she has got things,
and how thankful she should be that
she doesn’t have to grapple with the
difficulties of a profession as they do
As a matter of fact, the profession
of beine a woman is the most com
plicated, and difficult profession on
earth, and requires the widest range
of knowledge and talents. For a
woman, even of just the common, or
garden variety, the woman we speak
of as just be.ng ordinary, and hav
ing no especial genius or gifts, must
be an expert in so many different
lines of endeavor that the wonder is
that one small head can hold all
she knows, or one pair of hands
accomplish all the labor that she
pe-forms, or that anybody could be
strong enough to endure all the
strain that she puts upon it.
To begin with, a woman must have
the bravery that does not flinch be
fore pain. The most shell-riddled
soldier on the battlefield does not
go through greater agony than the
agony every woman experiences when
she goes down into the valley of the
shadow to bring up her children.
Nor does he pass through a greater
danger than she dues.- If she had

her deserts every mother would wear
a hero’s medal, with palms, upon her
breast.
A woman must be a soldier. A
woman must be a fascinator. Every
woman who gets a husband must
have :. certain deftness in casting
the spells of a siren over men, and
she must do this subtly and insidU
ously, for custom does not permit
her to openly go forth and choose
her mate. In some secret way' she
must conjure to her side the man
she desires, and having gotten him
she is in for a lift-long job of vamp
ing so that he will not perceive that
she grows old, «>nd fat, and loses
her girlish figure
A woman must be a soldier. She
must be a siren. She must be a
household efficiency expert. She
must know ho.v to cook, and how
to jew down the butcher and the
baker and the corner grocer, and
keep the bills down to the last penny.
She must know how to camouflage
mutton stew into a ragout, and make
cake, with one egg that will taste
like angel’s food. She must be a
seamstress who can take an old dress
and twist and turn it until it looks
like new, and convert last spring’s
hat into a 1320 creation that even
her dearest enemy will not recognize.
A woman must be a soldier. She
must be a siren. She must be a
household efficiency expert. She
must be a thrift campaign and a
savings bank, for on the woman who
is at the head of a household depends
whether the family shall go on to
prosperity or down to the ppor house.
No man can make headway against
a wasteful and extravagant wife, for
most men are wasteful and extrava
gant themselves, and depend upon
their wives to keep the Yale lock
on the little old family pocketbook.
A woman must be a soldier. She
must be a siren. She must be a house
hold efficiency expert. She must be
a financier. She must be a doctor
and a trained nurse and a health
commission, for she’ holds the physi
cal well-being of her family in her
hands. She must understand dietetics
and give her husband and children
the right food. She must be a bac
teriologist forever on the still hunt
of the nimble and deadly microbe.
She must know what to do for minor
ailments and be able to bind up
Johnny’s cut finger and nurse Mary’s
cold, and take care of hubby when
he has a headache and thinks he is
going to die. And she must be able
to be on the job of a sick nurse more
hours out of the twenty-four than
any professional nurse would even
consider.
A woman must be a soldier.. She
must be a household efficiency ex
pert. She must be a financier. She
must be a doctor and a trained nurse.
She must be a diplomat of the first
class, who knows how to walk on
eggs without cracking a shell. She
must know how to wheedle money
out of a stingy man in the way that
maizes him think that he is generous.
She must know how to rub a cranky
man’s fur the right way. She must
be able to make a man who is a
conceited domestic tyrant think that
he originated the plan of the things
she wishes him to do. She must
be able to smooth down the quarrels
between the children, and keep the
cook and the chambermaid from pull
ing hair, and any woman who can do
these things—and millions of wom
en do do them every day-—is worthy
to be ambassador extraordinary and.
minister plenipotentiary to any court
on earth.
And these are only a few of the
stunts that belong to the job of be
ing a woman.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
KID IT A FIN a CHIDD3EN TO GET A
RANSOM
Many of our Semi-Weekly readers
have also read a late story of the
thirteen-year-old boy In the city of
Louisville, Ky., who was lured by a
well-dressed man to carry or deliver
a box of candy (with the prynise of
a dollar), and then carried to’a near
by hotel and locked in a bath room
and kept for a part of three days
without food.
As soon as the boy had been safely
locked in the kidnapers, for there
were two of them, wrote an urgent
note to the boy’s father, demanding
the sum of $25,000 as ransom money,
or he would never see the boy again.
It is hard to tell how a parent
would feel under such circumstances
unless one had suffered under such
conditions. But money would always
count small when a choice lies be
tween money and the life of an inno
cent child. Vile persons who would
make t/he child suffer such horrors
may be presumed to be vile enough
to kill when it came to a show
down, if they might not get away
with so daring a scheme.
For those of our readers who have
Tailed to see the story of the kidnap
ing it is proper to tell them that the
captors left the bath room door un
locked on the third day, and the boy
found telephone in the bed room
adjoining and he communicated with
his father, and directly the locked
door was burst inward by the police
and the child restored to the anxious
parents. It is a question as to how
severe the punishment should be
when allotted to such kidnapers. The
crime against the terror-stricken
child should call for a life sentence
in the state penitentiary. Such de
mons should never go at large any
more, for the safety or protection of
society.
Away back In the ’7os, a little boy
by the name of Charlie Ross was kid
naped and the story became nation
wide, and Charlie Ross was never
located any more. The search was
unavailing. Large rewards were of
fered, but all such methods failed.
As the story went, the broken-heart
ed parents went early to their
graves. It is one of the notable dis
appearances of the last century.
, Hanging is too £ood for such dep
redators. They wouldn’t suffer long
enough to realize their infamies. A
life term at hard toil would not meet
their deserts, either. ?
STILL 17,000 AMERICAN TROOPS
IN GERMAN Y
What does it mean?-Were will this
thing end? The armistice was signed
on November 11, 1918, and it goes
without saying that American soldier
boys should be returned to their
hoiues in the United States of Amer
ica. The boys are our boys. They
have had enough of it. Not one of
them is personally to get anything
out of this continuance of war, be
cause we hav no longer war to be
troubled about, according to our best
information and belief.
Two or three months ago I gave
part of my railroad seat to a strang
er, a young man who looked like he
was twenty-four or five. I later
found he was the son of a gentleman
I had been acquainted with forty years
ago. He was so glad to see me; had
just returned from Germany, where
he had been kept as an American
soldier for more than a year after
the signing of the armistice. He told
me of his feelings, kept over there
near the Rhine, and doing nothing
but stay there for some purpose nev
er explained to him. If those allied
troops cannot police Germany now,
I would like to know the reason
why. When I have more writing
space I’ll tell our readers more about

CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
The Armenian Fund
The more I work with these
Atlanta Journal readers the more
convinced I am of the great num
ber of liberal hearts there are
among them. If you A-ill cast your
mind over the past you will re
member that it has only bgen three
months since I asked you for con
tributions for the starving, home
less orphans and some of you will
open your eyes when you see how
much has been sent them, and these
letters tell me not to stop the fund.
Some have very naturally asked
“what have you given?” Since the
question has dome up I will tell
you that I gave the first five dol
lars and as my tenth comes in
you may be sure it will go to the
Lord’s work.
An inquisitive woman once asked
The Farmer what I gave to church
work. He was raising money for
the church, and he said, “Well, I
don’t know. I only know that of
every dollar that is paid her she
pinches off a dime before she puts
it into her own funds.” He was
too much of a gentleman to tell
her that it was none of her busi
ness. However, in this fund we are
all partners in a great enterprise,
and shall receive the “hundred
fold.”

Now, do lets get the twenty need

two, as the case may be. I shall
print the answer to the letter that
comes with this. Up to this time
only a receipt has come, and re
grets that affaJrs over are
so unsettled that we could not
know the name of the one we are
helping. I am free to confess that
my meals taste sweeter to me singe
I know that there is some food go
ing across the water that we have
paid for.
Remember, when you send twen
ty-five cents that you are feeding
one child almost two days. The
ravens fed Elijah, and when a
doubt surges over you as to the
size of your gift just bear in mind
the fact that you have done what
you could, and the Lord will bless
you.
I sincerely thank you for your
appreciative words,
LIZZIE O. THOMAS.

I would appreciate it so much if
you would write me a short note.
I think if I could read your let
ters to the society it would prob
ably encourage us to try harder to
help the needy and do more for our
fellow men. As I said, I enjoy all
your letters and find them a great
help and inspiration. I am very
much interested in chickens. Hope
I can raise some fine ones. Wish
ing you a long life and much suc
cess in your good work.
I am yours truly,
MRS. R. C. DICK.

Dear Mrs. Thomas: I am sending

orphan, children.

I have been reading yotir letters
for a number of years and do en
joy them so much. I get so much
information, as I live on a farm.
May you live a long ti,me to c'arry
on your good work.
Very respectfully.

Dear Mrs. Thomas: Have read
your letters in The Journal from
time to time with much interest
and especially so as relates to your
work sor 6 the suffering Armenians..
Have been wanting to contribute
sofnething toward food or clothing
and was glad when I read in The
Journal that you were collecting
funds for them, so am sending you
herewith check for ten ($10.00) dol
lars contributed by myself and my
husband.
I hope I will be able to send more
later and hope you will continue to
solicit aid for those dear people and
others.
May the good Lord abundantly
bless you in your work.
Yours,

My Dear Mrs. Thomas: I am
sending you a dollar in this letter
to use any way you think best for
the Armenians. It’s a strange thing
to me all the nations raised their
hands in horror when the Germans
overran Belgium and northern
France and carried off women, etc.,
and let the Turks strangle the
poor Armenians whenever they got
goqd and ready and It’s gone on for
I generations. Why do They want to
, give Constantinople back when its
; the first time in hundreds of years
its been under Christian rule? Af
ter all I don’t think any better of
England and France for the way
tliey let things go in Serbia and
Armenia. Our president did as much
as any human being could do, and
’now there’s nothing too mean for
them to say about him, right how
when he is broken in health, all
brought on by his work to help
them.
As to Turkey, we never declared
war on her, so we can’t do any
thing, but the allies are an ungrate
ful lot.
As to knowing the little Armenian
child’s name, that doesn’t mean
anything. I know that if you get
your hands on the money the Ar
menians will get it, and that’s
enough. I am glad I have a dol
lar to send and I shall send some
every time you make a call in the
paper.
Youngster Begins Life
Joy Riding 60 Miles Hour
OAKLAND, Cal. —The youngest son
of Mrs. Ferdinand Nelson, of this
city, came into the world at 1 a. m.
while traveling in an automobile at
a speed of sixty miles an hour. Not
only did the little fellow start tak
ing j’oy rides early, but now he is
the center of a controversy. Is he
a native of San Leandro or Oakland?
The ambulance rushing Mrs. Nel
son to the Alameda county hospital
was going so fast that there is no
way of determining just at what
geographical point the happy event
occurred.

What Lydia E. Pinkham’s >
Vegetable Compound Did z Z
for Mrs. Warner.
Onalaska, Wis.—'“Every month I
had such pains in my back and lower
Fart of stomach
could not lie in
bed. I suffered
so it seemed as
though I would
die and I was not
regular either. I
suffered for a
year and was
unfit to do my
housework, could
only wash dishes
once in a while. I
read an adver-
'H 41
tisement of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound had done for
other women and decided to try it. It
surely did wonders for me. I have no
pains now and I can do my house
work without any trouble at all. I
will always praise your medicine as I
do not believe there is a doctor that
can do as much good in female weak
ness. and you may use these facts as a
testimonial.”—Mrs. Lester E. War
ner. R. 1, Box 69, Onalaska, Wis.
The reason women write such letters
to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine- Co.
and tell their friends how they are help
ed is that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has brought health
and happiness into their lives. Freed
from their illness they want to pass
the good news along to other suffering
' women that they also may be relieved.
