Why 1 Lost My Wife
n> DBHOTHY I>IX
"I lost my wife." said the seventh j
man. "through drink. Believe me.
Cleopatra was not the only sinner who
has dissolved a priceless pearl in the
wine cup, and quaffed it down.
"We hear a great deal about the
•frunVard's wife, whose love never
ers, no matter how low the man
sinks, and who can still see her mis
band as the hero of her girlish
dreams, even when he wallows in the
gutter, but I wonder if that isn't a
fairy tale that men have invented for
their own consolation. I wonder if
any woman's love ever survives the
disillusionment of meeting the man
she is married to turned by drink into;
a maudlin, besotted beast
"Certainly my wife's affection was
not of the kind that can drape the
pink chiffon of imagination about a
reeling, senseless, speechless drunk
ard and see in him a figure of ro
mance. She was a delicate, refined,
sensitive woman, and when I was in
my cups every fiber in her revolted
from me. I was to her a thing un
clean and abhorrent, and while she
pitied my weakness, she had at the
same time a contempt for me, and
contempt is the death of love.
"When we were married I was a
young lawyer, had already begun to
make my way in the world, and had
every prospect of success. We set up
a charming little home. My wife was
a capital manager, and anxious to,
help me in evcrj way, and no young
couple could have looked forward ]
with more assurance to a happy life i
together.
"I had always been a little too foud
of drink. The habit had not 'got me'
at the time of my marriage, but 1 had
got the habit if 1 may make the dis
tinction. I didn't get drunk, but I
took just enough to get what Jack
London calls "joyfully spitflicated.'
just enough to make me see the world
all rosy, as one sees it through the
bottom of a wine glass.
His Wife SjH'aks About It
"Soon after our marriage my wife
spoke to me about this, but I as
sured her with fatuous self-confi
dence that I knew just when to stop. ;
and that I could break off whenever,
1 wanted to. and that to drink a
certain amount and be a good fellow
helped me along with my business, j
because it brought me in close con- |
tact with certain men who controlled (
big interests. She looked the doubt i
she felt, but said nothing more.
••When our first baby came my
wife went down into the Valley of the
Shadow, and when she came back she <
brought with her a tiny, frail little;
creature, in whose frame the spark of j
life glimmered so feebly that only t
mother's incessant devotion could
keep it alight.
"I was passionately In love with
my wife and frantic with, anxiety
about her. and, like many another
man under such circumstances. I
tried to drown my fears and anguish

TUESDAY EVENING,
jin drink. The night that my wife
: was fighting with deßth I was pour
ing drink after drink down my
throat, and when with her first con
scious breath she asked for me I.
who should have been standing by
her side, was lying in a drunken
stupor in the back room of a saloon.
1 had failed her at the great crisis
of our lives.
"I don't know what they told her.
I don't know what she thought. I
suppose she suspected the truth, and
in her woman-wise way made allow
ances for me. but her face, when I
was sober enoush to be admitted ta
her presence, wore for the first time
the look of sorrow that I was never
:to see out of her eyes again. It WHS
The look that every drunkard's v.-ifo
wears.
The Downward Path
"My wife had to give most of her
time and attention to the care of our
sickly little baby, and I got into the
way of spending my evenings at the
club and in saloons, and before I real
ized it I had passed from being a
moderate drinker into being a hard
drinker, and the habit that I had
boasted that 1 could control con
trolled me.
"What followed is the old story. I
became a drunkard. I lost my prac
tice. I lost all of my friends whi
were worth while. The money that
should have gone to the support -.f
my family went over the bar. We
i moved and moved and moved, each
time to a cheaper and poorer place.
' Our furniture and clothes became
■ shabbier and shabbier. We became
j the typical drunkard's family.
"At first 1 was ashamed to come
home drunk, and would sleep off my 1
carouse in my office, or at some hotel.
Then I lost all shame, and my Wife
saw me reeling, tottering, maudlin,
my eyes bleary, my mouth dribbling,
my clothes filthy, surely the most dis
gusting sight on earth to a woman of
delicacy and refinement.
"She knew what it was to watch ]
• and wait through long nights for the j
coining of a shambling step. She
knew what it was to open the da>ri
for a man whose fumbling hand could j
, not even find the latch. She knew
what it was to help a big. strong thing ]
in the shape of a man—who had los" j
. all manhood —to bed. there to slum- :
! her in a doped sleep, with open mouth
| and stertorous breathing until his al
| coliolized brain awoke to life again.
"My wife stood all of this with the
I patience of an angel for a few years.
I She stood it until her every effort to
' reform me had failed, and her every
| hope was dead, and then she left me.
; The shock of her going sobered me so
| that I have never taken a drink since,
but my reformation came too late. 1
had killed her respect and her love
for me. and I could no more bring
them back to life than you can
breathe life into a corpse.
"I had had home and happiness,
wife and child, and I lost them .ill
through drink."

Besides beautifying the hair, one
j application of Danderine dissolves
; every particle of dandruff: invigorates
: the scalp, stopping itching and fall
ing hair. •
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. It goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro

grow long, strong and beautiful.
You can surely have pretty, soft
lustrous hair, and lots of it. if you will

Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter and try it as directed.

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
iSays Wc Must Keep Feel Dry,,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat
Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex
posure, keep feet dry. eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all. j
take a spoonful of salts occasionally I
to keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gener- i
ated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of tli» skin are also a means ot
treeing the bh.od of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elimi
nate this uric acid which keeps accu- ,
ululating and circulating through the
system, eventually settling in the j
joints and muscles, causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism I
At the first twinge of rheumatism j
get from any pharmacy about foul :
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- i
ful in a glass of water and drink be-'
fore breakfast each morning for a !
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the bloud
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with iithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to ihfumatisin. Here you have :«

trink which overcomes uric aHd and :
is beneficial to your kidneys as well. I

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
I for a number of years. When you see
him doini; the promenading act, or
busy on a "ease." he does not impress
you as btjing of the Sherlock Holmes
type. Detective White is short and
stout. Neither does he smoke a pipe,
like the mythical Sherlock • Holmes.
Cigars are his hobby, and whenever
you see him chewing on the end of a
eißar. it Is a s;».fe bet he is working
out a difficult turn of some mystery.
Later 011 if he offers you a cigar, it is
proof it is solved.
Worked Many Cases
As a detective. Harry C. White is
considered one of the best in the
State. He has handled many impor
tant cases, and has recovered hun
dreds of dollars' worth of stolen
soods. He was prominent in cleaning
up several bis: shoplifting cases sc\ -
cral years ago. Picking out sliek-flng
, ered sentry in crowds is a feature
I of "Whitey's."
j In towns throughout the State, the
ability of Harry White is recognized.
He has done special duty at Bradford,
I Pittsburgh. Lancaster. Reading, Allen
town and other cities. He comes from
ja family of detectives, his brother,
1 Charley White, being another promi
nent sleuth.
Horn in York
[ Harry White was born in York dur
ing the year 186tJ, and moved to Har
irisburg June 27. 1894. With his
| lather, T. Kirk White, he introduced
the popcorn business on the streets,
and had an army of boys selling I'resli
j corn sticks daily. Later, he engaged
tin the cigar business on South Second

vate detective license in 189H and was
! appointed a city detective by Mayor
