“NOTHINB BETTER
AS A LAXATIVE”
Asheville. Lady Finds Black-
Draught an Effective Rem
edy in Her Family for Com
mon Ailments of the Di
r gestive Organs
Asheville, N. C.—Mrs. A. K. Jarvis,
44 Woodrow avenue, this city, says:
“I have used and heard of Thedford’s
Black-Drau gb t for years, and I cer
tainly have found it splendid for
headache, sour stomach, indigestion
and other ills that come from a de
ranged liver.
“My husband and I keep Black-
Draught in the house and think it is
splendid to keep off sickness. I have
used It in small doses as a laxative,
and there is nothing better.
"Black-Draught is a mild liver
medicine . . . any child can take it.
'• I have found it splendid with them
for colds.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has
benefited thousands in relieving
liver ailments. It helps to drive bile
poisons and other unhealthful mat
"ters out of the system.'
Black-Draught is a stand-by in
. thousands of family medicine chests.
It should be in yours. Its use should
help to keep the whole family well.

Release ftr Vfomenwho Suffer
The multitude of American women who suffer terribly day after day
and year after year from ills peculiar to theirsex is almostbeyond belief
—yet there is hardly a town or hamlet in the United States wherein
some woman, and often many, do not reside who have been restored
to health from some of the worst forms of female ills, and often avoided
operations by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
These Two Women Tell of Their Experience.
Carrollton, Ky.—“ I suffered almost
two years with female weakness. I
could not walk any distance, ride or
fake any exercise at all without resting.
If I swept the floor or did any kind of
work it would bring my sickness on
I was weak and languid, had no energy,
and life was a misery to me, I was
under the care of a good physician for
several months and tried other reme
dies. 1 had read of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and decided to
try it. After taking twelve bottles I
found myself much improved and I
took six more. I have never had any
more trouble in that respect since. I
have done all kinds of work and at
present am an attendant at a State
Hospital and am feeling fine. I shall
always recommend your Vegetable Com
pound.”—Lillian Tharp, 824 South 6th

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
WHAT JS_LOVE?
BY DOROTHY DIX
The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer
(Copyright, 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Ine.)
Among my acquaintances is a
woman who is a veritable household
angel. And she is adored by her
family. Anyway, they are never
Weary of telling her, and other peo
ple, how they love her, and she be
lieves them, for in His mercy God
ordaned that even the cleverest wom
an should be of an idiotic trustful
ness and credulity where her heart ’s
concerned.
Now this woman is as frail and
as delicate as a flower. She is one
of the women who must be shielded
and cared for like a hothouse plant
if she is going to live, but appar
ently these members of her own
household, who say they are so de
voted to her, have never once no
ticed how thin she has grown, how
tired she looks, how she droops in
her chair.
Her old mother, who lives with
her, blesses heaven for having be
stowed upon her such a daughter,
but she makes daughter take a thou
sand unnecessary steps a day to
gratify her senseless whims, and
she rasps daughter’s nerves to the
breaking point by her ceaseless fret
ting and complaining because she is
old, because things are not like they
used to be, because life generally is
as it is.
The husband loves his wife so well
that he will never let her go away
from home even for a wek’s end, and
simply laughs to scorn the doctor’s
order that she must go to a rest
cure for three months. Other men
may let their wives no north in sum
mer and south in winter. He is so
devoted to his wfe that he is lost
when she is away. Why, the house
is empty and nothing goes right,
and he can’t think of a thing to do.
Why, it upsets him for a whole even
ing for her not be to waiting at the
door for him when he comes home
at night. And he pats himself on
the chest, and swells out with a
sense of being the model Lover Hus
band because he is so devoted to his
wife that he keeps her nailed to her
own fireside.
And the children tell you they have
got the best mother on earth, and the
dearest mother, and the sweetest
mother, and the girls will let her
sit up half the night to make them
frilly party dresses, and urge her
on by telling her that Susy Snooks
h\d real embroidery on her frock.
Onalaska, Wis.— “Every month I
had such pains in my back and lower
fart of stomach I could not lie in bed.
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 advertise
ment of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound had done for
other women and decided to try it. It
i surely did wonders for me. I have
no pains now and can do my own
housework 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 for female weak
ness as can Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and you may use
these facts as a testimonial.” Mrs.
Lester E. Warner, K. 1, Box 69,
Onalaska, Wis.
and won’t she put a little more on
theirs? And the boyfe scatter their
clothes and belongings all over the
house, and call for mother to hunt
their caps and balls and bats and
double her work by needless clutter.
And the curious part of it all is
that these people really believe they
love the women they are murder
ing. and when they have got in
their deadly work and she. lies at
rest in her coffin, they will weep
above her and say, selt'-righteously,
that thank Goodness, they gave all
the affection and appreciation she
craved.
And they would be furious if you
told them that none of them ever
really truly loved her, that all they
ever loved was themselves, and that
their feeling for the woman was
measured in terms of their own
selfishness and what she did to make
life pleasant for them, but you
would tell them the truth, neverthe
less.
If the mother loved her daughter
she would spare her all the extra
work she puts on her, and her
whines of self-pity for things no
human being can help. If the hus
band loved his wife, he would deny
himself the comfort of her pres
ence for the sake of saving her life.
If the children loved their mother,
the girls would make their own
clothes rather than see her tired
hands laboring over them, and the
boys save her every possible step
by keeping their own things in or
der as they do in camp.
In reality, words are no test of
love. And they are pretty poor and
cheap things compared with deeds.
It is idle to protest our affection
when we do nothing to show it.
Real love is not selfishness. It is
sacrifice. It does not seek its own,
but the happiness of another.
'The man who does nothing to
make his wife happy, who gives her
no little treats, who never pays her
a compliment, who does not even no
tice whetehr she locoes ill or well,
does not love her, no matter now
much he misses her when she is
away from home. He thinks he loves
her, but he only loves the comfort
with which she surorunds him.
The woman who nags at her hus
band, who hen-pecks and tryranniz
es' over him, and who makes his life
hard and burdensome, may think she
loves her husband, but she doesn’t.
She loves only her sense of power
and the creature comforts he brings
in.
The parents who sacrifice their
children's lives to themselves, who
keep a daughter bound like a slave
to them because they do not want
to be waited on by hired hands, or
prevent a son following a career be
cause they cannot bear to be part
ed from him, only love themselves.
They do not love their children.
It is no excuse to say that people
■do not think, that a man neglects
his wife, that a.- wife is cross and
hateful to her htisband, that children
rob their parents and parents sacri
fice their children unconsciously.
Real love never forgets. It is nev
er blind. It is always Sister-Anne
on-the,-House-Top looking out for
the welfare of its beloved.
There is just one test of love. It
is nreferring another before your
self. It’s thinking of that other
Ono first, last and all the time.
HICKORY SHORTAGE
Most of us recall what happened
“all for the want of a horseshoe
nail." Perhaps that’s the trouble
with American Industry, if produc
tion is as low and the outlook as
bad as some prophets of evil would
have us believe. There’s a lack of
hickory for ax handles. The chain
of events is inevitable—no hickory,
no handle; no handle, no ax; no ax,
no lumber; no lumber, no boxcars;
no boxcars, no transportation, Or if
you prefer you can follow the missing
ax handle into any other line of pro
duction.—-The Nation’s Business.,

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am very lonely. Will you help
me with your good advice, for I am
in trouble? I am a girl seventeen
years of age, five feet high, weigh
125 pounds, have dark curly hair,
medium complexion and blue eyes.
Here is the point I want you to ad
vise me on. About three years ago
I met a boy that I loved very much.
We were warm friends, and at last
we moved away a long distance, and
I met and made new friends, but
still loved that boy. We wrote each
other often, but he never came for a
long while. Then at last he came,
and I loved him more than ever. He
seemed to love me, and proved it in
many ways. He asked me several
times to marry him, but I would al
ways tell him I was too young. He
would say that I was not, that we
could never change towards each
other. Then at last we became en
gaged, and he seemed to love me
and always treated me nice. We had
the wedding set for September. As
he had to come a long ways, he
could not come often. He would
beg me to kiss him, and at last I
did, and he seemed to love me more,
and said it was not any harm, as
we were sure to marry. He said
for me not to worry, that he would
never give me up after that. But
here Is where I need your advice.
Here lately he has grown cold to
wards me He wrote me once about
going with the girls near his home,
and to get even with him I wrote
him about my boy friends. He got
mad and would not answer my let
ter for a long while. But at last
he did write and bid me good-by.
He said that I had not been true.
At last we wrote again, but he still
does not write like he use to. He
said he would always love me above
all on earth, but we could never
marry, as he wasn’t going to marry
any one. So what will I do? He is
eighteen. Do you think I should
worry about kissing him, as I only
loved him and did not mean any
harm? Also, a friend of his told me
he was engaged to a girl near his
home, and I don’t know whether it
is so or not. Do you think he has
given me up and doesn’t love me any
more? I know he loved me once.
How can I live without him, as he
is the only boy I can ever love?
Give me your best advice on this,
and forgive me for writing so much,
but try to answer them. May God
bless your good work, helping those
ivho cannot help themselves. Please
print this. I have written before,
but did not hear from you.
Your young man friend is like
many others at his age. He
thought he loved you above every
thing and everybody, until he
chanced to meet another girl who
appealed to his fancy, and im
mediately his ardor cooled toward
you. A boy at eighteen is ir
responsible and not to be taken
seriously. I am sorry for you,
but the best thing you can do
is to profit by experience, and
when you meet another man
whom you are apt to fall in love
with, do not let him see how
much you care for him.
Dear Madam: Will you please an
wer a few questions for an eighteen
year-old boy? i am a Carolina lad.
My mother is dead and I live with
my sister and brother on a farm.
I quit school in the eighth grade,
two years ago. Would you advise
me to start again?
When a boy goes off to a church
where he doesn’t knoy anybody, how
should he act? If he sees a girl he
would like to meet what is the prop
er way to make himself known to
her?
Is it proper to ask a girl If he
can call to see her the first time
you are with her? And what should
be th© proper words in asking her?

FAIR LAD.
An education is a treasure
that no one can rob you of. If
you could return to school you
would realize in later years
what a benefit it was to you.
When you go to a church, and
you do not know anyone and
you want to keep on going, just
find a seat for yourself, and sit
down. When the people about
you see you in church several
Sundays in succession, they will
make themselves known to you
and if you have any turn at
making friends you will even
tually know many people. Try
to get some one who knows you
and the young lady to introduce
you. That’s the best way. It
is perfectly proper to ask a
young lady the first time you
meet her, 'if you may call. If
she likes you well enough she
will ask you then to call again.
Or you may ask her the question
if you like her sufficiently.
I haye been reading your advice
for a long time. I think you give
the best I have ever heard. I am
married, have four children one of
them is so head-long, just destroys
everything as he goes. I may whip
him, it does no good, it is the same
old thing. He sems to be good
hearted and has not got anything too
good for anybody. Says anything he
thinks of. Will you please tell me
how to treat him. I have tried ev
erything I can think of. He will be
seven years old October 14. Please
answer in the next Journal.
BROWN EYES.
P. S.—Can you tell me where I
could sell crocheted yokes, lace of
any kind? Thanking you for your
advice. •
You must manage your son
for if you do not control him
now “he” will suffer later, and
will fill “your” head full of
gray hairs. Do not scold him
too much as that is worse than
anything. He is old enough to
realize now the things you say.
Take him off in a room by your
self, sit down calmly without
anger, and tell him his faults
and that you will punish him the
next naughty thing he does.
And be firm. Do not bawl at
him and tell him you are going
to kill him, or burn him alive
with a switch. That sort of
talk lessens a child’s respect for
its parent. Shut him up to him
self, take away his choice play
things. Let him see by your
quiet, determined manner you
mean business, his respect for
you will gradually increase and
when you say you are going to
punish him, do so, and . ewarJ
him for his good behavior. Let ,
your son see that you are kind,-
and when he realizes he will be
treated better when he is a good
boy, he will be more obedient.
But never put off a punishment
when you tell him you are going
to do it.
Crochet is not used much now
and I do not know f anyone
who buys it.
Quick Window Washing
A professional house cleaner once
told me how to wash my windows
easily and rapidly. Use a piece of
chamois skin about fifteen to eight
een inches square. Use warm water,
wring out the chamois lightly and
wash over the window. Then wring
the chamois out of the water until
as dry as possible, and rub over
the window. This will take off all
moisture and there will be no lint
left. The windows will shine, and
once tried, you will never wash your
windows by the old way.—Good
Housekeeping.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. I ELTON
The Bloody Disorder in Foreign
Countries
If the news from European coun
tries is reliable we certainly have
nothing very hopeful to expect for
a long time to come as to peace and
good order.
Poland and Russia are engaged in
pitched battles, and the issue is
doubtful. Poland began the fight,
says Premier Lloyd George, of Eng
land, and has lost sympathy by
such aggression.
Russia is very much like France
was at the time of what is known
as the “French revolution.”
The extravagance of royalty and
the pinching taxes that were placed
on the small farmers and shop
keepers to continue such extrav
agance had worked the people up
to frantic conditions. King Louis
XVI. was known and recognized
to be one of the fairest men that
had occupied the French throne
for more than half a century. But
he was “the victim of the preced
ing despotisms, which had made serfs
of the common people, and the sins
of the father were visited on his
unfortunate head.
He and his queen were beheaded
by the guillotine and his immediate
family were wiped out. There were
thousands of worthy people whose
only crime consisted in being born
rich that perished in the same way.
This French revolution followed di
rectly after , the American Revolu
tion, which begun in 1776. It has
often been said that the French were
first led by Marquis Lafayette, who
had great fondness for General
Washington, and who had said so
much about American independence
qn his return to France after the
Revolutionary war had ended that
the common people had caught the
idea and attempted to set up a
French republic.
After the king and the nobles
had been guillotined the Jacobins
assumed control. They imprisoned
Lafayette, flung him into Olmutz
prison. His wife narrowly escaped
the guillotine, but her mother and
grandmother did not fare so well
Both were guillotined.
It was called the reign of terror
and the longing for blood made
France far worse than a common,
bloody battlefield.
Russia now is in terror. When tha
United States allied itself to Eng
land. France and Italy they also
joined with Czar Nicholas in Rus
sia. The assassination of all the
czar’s family and their faithful at
tendants has been made known, and
Russia seems to be In the same sort
of reign of terror as prevailed in
France in 1793.
How Is it going to end? What
will will come ovi: of it no man or
woman knows today.
While Russia was ruled by the
czar this country—United States—
loaned vast sums of our tax money
to Russia to fight' against Germany
Unless the present government is
overthrown that loaned money will
be .Totally lost, lost irrevocably. It
was a risky proposition' at the start,
and the chances for repayment are
now fading out. Perhaps, the forces
in Europe will be fighting worse
than ever inside of a year.
Ireland is in throes of revolution.
What will finally prevail in the
Green Ts'e of Erin? What can tell’
The world seems to he determined
to kill and the sacrifice of human
life will oenfinue to Re enormous.
Suffrage for Women
As there are thirty-five states tn
the Union where women can vote in
everv election and will vote in No
vember. 1920. just as men vote, the
ouestion naturally arises as to the
women of the remaining thirteen
states which denv the hallot to the
women of their sections.
Their inabilitv to participate will
give a very superior advantage to
those who can vote, giving an addi
tional electorate, and representation
in congress. Our congressional rep
resentation is based unon popula
tion. it 1s true, but when a few are
onh' allowed to vote in comparison
with those who have liberty to dou
ble their vote, th® discrepancy and
the injustice will he ohviou-s.
There is another obvious fact„that
our Anglo-Saxon men annea>- to have
overlooked, namely, the additional
congressmen that will represent the
states where women vote. The state
of Delaware has only on® congress
man, while the state of Pennsylvan
ia has upwards of thirtv and the
state of Delaware can only retain
one until the pom’lation gets very
much larger. The Increase goes
along with extra power in govern
mental affairs.
It looks to me, that our male
voters are like the dog in ttie man
ger. They can’t eat the hay, but
thev are so opposed to the cows
that the hay does nothing good for
the stock or the dog either.
she is a nice-looking little girl. I wish I
could see her and her grandmother. I will
close now. Your new cousin,
OLIVE BEST.
