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.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. 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., The Tri-Weekly Journal’s Fashion Hints Ml ® ffeß w r M\ k s lX if I llWy OU r i«w I op A 0 ach IH Mfegg*.

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?

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.

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.
