7 Life's Problems Are Discussed By MRS. WILSON WOODROW One must be bold indeed who would attempt to render infallible counsel to either husband or wife in any ease of matrimonial disagree ment. It is pre-eminently ground where angels fear to tread. There are so many elements that enter in, so many little incidents that go to make up the record —incidents so trivial, perhaps, that they have been forgotten by both sides, yet which have left their ineffaceable scars — the whole question is so blended of the deepest emotions and the qual ity of the breakfast coffe, so con fused between billing and bills, so narrowly divided between tiff and tragedy, that Omniscience alone could fairly sift out the rights from the wrongs in any given instance. Such a rlood of letters as has avalanched upon me within the last few weeks, telling of quarrels, mis understandings, disaffection between husbands and wives! I sometimes wonder if this lons, cold winter, which has kept people more closely indoors than usual, in terfered with our usual outside di versions, and with its heatless Mon days and other discomforts' has managed generally to get on our nerves may not be in large measure responsible; just as men off on a polar expedition, or who spend long seasons unvßsited in some lonely lighthouse, or at some isolated sta tion, invariably grow surly and ill tempered and fall out with their as sociates. That east wind to which Mr. Jarnt}yce of Bleak House ascribed all the unpleasant and distressing things of life may have more to do with the "divorce evil" than we imagine. May it not be, too, that with the return of spring and apple blossom time, charged to each of us with romantic memories, there will en sue a *season of reconciliation, and that many of the differences which now loom so ominous and insur mountable will disapear like ice bergs in a summer sea? Happy thought! Why not put all husbands upon a sort of saving day light schedule, and intern them from October to April of each year. I submit it as a novel idea to my correspondent in the Bronx who has written a play on "Is Marriage a. Failure?" • And, by the way, his problem is not so irrelevant to the question at issue but that I may spare a mo- I3EMJ3I3i2I3ISJ3®OM3ISrSEiCiJEIHMSJD!I3IDU3 Dr. Howard always recommenced Oxidaze for Coughs, Colds, Br.

Bringing Up Father /■' Copyright, 1917, International News Service *-* *-* . * By McManus TTTI [1 II ( DON'T TOO THINK I DON'T k T~ "YOU Tf I KNOW- OUT M WELL-I IT't) TIME TH'NK. VHERE /"vtSTTHINCi I HE. cwnni p* A f ! THAT rW)6HTER't> > uc DOV/IS THERE <.o\N* OFFENDED KNOW HOW TO 'AV up f ' W nMJ ment for its discussion. Stated briefly, it simply amounts to this, that he is afraid to market his pro ductions for fear they will be stolen. The best answer I can give to him and to others who write me in the same strain is that New York is full of successful playwrights and au thors who started out with no more "pull," influence or personal ac quaintance than he possesses, but who simply submitted their wares in the regular fashion and kept on sub mitting until they finally gained a hearing. Merit and straightforward deal- is what scores dn both the writ ing and the marriage game. The worst handicap that one can carry for either is distrust, suspicion and the constant imputing of unworthy motives to others. And so we come back to our mut tons again, or rather to our Tow sers and Tabbies —the discordant husbands and wives. As 1 say, the individual case is very hard to judg£. An outsider cannot possibly know all the facts; and, after all. the complaints recited in any bill of particulars are but a list of symp toms, which may or may not indi cate the real trouble. Many a man or woman branded as a black sheep in the matrimonial fold might have been a prize winner if more congen ially mated. From the multitude of letters I have received I have finally come to the conclusion that the pinch in marriage as it exists to-day lies in the diametrically opposite view points that the modern man and the modern woman hold toward the in stitution —not all the modern men nor all the modern women, of course, but the average type of each. It is reflected in almost eyery communication I get upon the sub ject. Here, for instance, are two letters selected at random from a pile in front of me: "Dear Mrs. "Woodrow. Will you kindly express your views concern ing a wife who gives up her home a!nd husband, stating that she no longer loves him? We were married seven years ago, and lived very happily. My salary is more than sufficient to provide for the support of both of us and the. upkeep of our home in comfort. We haye enjoyed many of the good things of life and could easily continue to do so, but my wife's craving for the things which are greatly beyond our means was always a jarring note in our lit tle home. What punishment should be levied on a wife who breaks her vows and casts aside the love and respect of one who has always been faithful to her? My heart and home are open to her, and 1 would gladly welcome her back if she would re turn." The other letter is evidently written in white heat. "I am a, wom an of forty," it begins, ('and have been a good, honest wife for over twenty years, a tine housekeeper. Is there a chance for me to get put and make my own living? 1 am sick of being a mere drudge of the kitchen, of staying at home and seeing noth ing but pots and pans. My husband never takes me out anywhere. When he is home in the evenings, and I want him to go to the movies, he is always too tired. "When he earned only nine dol lars a week I worked and slaved for him, made a good home for him, and was happy doing it. But now he is well off. He has SII,OOO in the bank. Yet he lets me have no say in regard to it, and grudges every penny he has to lay out on me or the children. His meanness is almost in crediable, and it has served to kill all the love I once held for him." There speak the two sexes. Man, the sentimentalist, still clings to the old romantic traditions and ideals. He would hold through her "vows" a woman who frankly confesses she no longer loves him. He talks the language of the poet and novelist. Woman, on the other hand, is es sentially practical. She recognizes that marriage is in a very large sense a partnership and business contract, and unless she receives her fair share of the income—not doled 1 out to her, but paid as her due —she feels defrauded, and no flummery about "the sturdy oak and the cling ing vine" will lessen her resentment. Mark my words, when woman takes a full hand in the government of this country the institution "ap proved of St. Paul" is due to get a jolt. A lot of the floral garlands which man's sentimentalism and hypocrisy have twined about it will be pruned away, and the structure will stand out clear and plain. There will be a uniform marriage and divorce law throughout the na tion, and no such confusion and scandalous evasion of the statutes as now exists. "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite," will be the keynote for both husbands and wives. Then the voice that breathed o'er Eden will have a fair chance. MOW JUDGE OX BENCH New Bloomfield, March 7. —Li- cense court convened Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock? when Jeremiah Keller, the newly-appointed judge from Mifflintown, took his place on the bench for the first time. His commission was read by the Pro thonotary, after which the usual routine of business was gone through with which occupied the time till noon. NURSES TO GO TO FRANCE Gettysburg, Pa., March 7. —Two young ladies of Adams county, grad uates of the York Hospital, have volunteered as nurses to go to France with Base Hospital No. 115 of the University of Pennsylvania. Special surgery worls is to be the object of this unit. The young ladies are Miss Pauline Sherman, of Littlestown, and Miss Mary Wag ner, of New Oxford. What To Do When Nerves Go Wrong A SPECIALIST'S ADVICE Men and women who suffer from weak nerves, who tire easily, can't sleep, have brain fag, low vitality, general weariness, loss of strength, dulled ambition, lack of will power, or any of those symptoms that so surely arise from poor, unsteady, un strung nerves, or nerve force run low, should try eating a little Margo with their meals for a few days and note results. This preparation is the greatest ginger-up stimulant and nerve vitalizer ever known for put ting the good old "pep." ambition, courage and real vital energy into a tired, run-down and shattered nervous system. Here is a test worth trying. The next time you feel tired, blue, or when your nerves are fairly crying out, eat a Margo nerve tablet. Then wait for just ten minutes, and note results. Margo seems to go straight to the nerve cells and starts work the min ute it reaches them. It brings a ten minute change from that awful dull, weak, lazy, don't-give-a-hang feeling to brightness, strength, clear-headed ness and courage. It calms and strengthens the nerves of people who get the "jumps" and fidgets, and gives them poise, power and tremend ous reserve energy. Margo nerve tab lets are absolutely harmless, contain no dope or habit-forming drugs, and are always safe, easy, pleasant and efficient. Kennedy's Medicine Store and many .other leading drug gists in Harrisburg and vicinity sell it in large boxes—4o tablets to a package-—on an absolute guarantee of satisfaction, or money back. —Ad- vertisement. THEIR MARRIED LIFE Copyright by International News Service "Well, well, here she is now, come and see your Aunt Carrie, Winifred, and here's Roy, speak to your cous in, Roy, that's a nice boy. My, it certainly does seem as if she grows from week to week, Helen." "Oh, she does," assented Helen merrily. "She's springing up just like a weed these days." Helen was taking advantage of Carrie's unusu ally genial mood. It was not often that Carrie was anything but crit ical, and overbearing. This after noon she was purring like a large cat, because she had just bdught a new spring suit which suited her very well and which Helen had ad mired extravagantly. "Yes, I told Fred," Carrie said, taking out a large ball of knitting and settling herself into the most comfortable chair in the room, "that it doesn't make a bit of dif ference whether we can afford it or not, I must have a new suit and feel like a human being at least once a season." Helen smiled politely. Carrie's rather large frame was always clothed in the most expensive of clothes, but she rarely looked as well as Helen in spite of this fact, which truth rankled in her heart and made her often vindictive. "I haven't bought anything new to wear in a month," said Helen, certain that this would please Car rie. "Well, I don't see how it ever hap pened. You are always buying new clothes." "Well, I decided not to buy a spring suit this year. I wore my blue suit last year for only a short time, and I spent so much for it that I felt I couldn't afford a nice street dress. This year I am going without a new suit, and am going to buy a street dress a little later." "I see," and Carrie's needles clicked as she looked up at Helen. Helen had a lot of turquoise blue yarn in her lap and was knitting in dustriously. "What are you knitting, another sweater for yourself? I should think you would be devoting your time to knitting for the soldiers and sailors." "Oh, this isn't for.me: this is for Winifred. I do knit for the soldiers, Carrie. I have done three sweat ers." • "IndeSd!" Helen felt the hostility in the ex clamation and Carrie's entire disap proval of such an idea, and she has tened to add: "You see, Winifred has been wanting a sweater so badly, and I am going to steal the time to do it for her." Helen hated herself for knuck ling under this way when there was no reason for it, but she was so anxious to propitiate Carrie that she was willing to do anything to keep her in a good humor. Carrie said nothing, and for a few moments there was silence while the two women knitted industrious ly. Helen's mind flew to the dinner. She wondered if Carrie would like the simple'meal Mary was preparing. Fred had not called up until after lunch to tell Helen that Carrie was in town, and to ask if they might Daily Dot Puzzle 14- 13 || JO 15 ' * ' • • • I* *1 9 IS. • X '7' f .3 Ifi.

This was the usual program whenever Carrie came in town to shop, but Helen was always nervous for fear that things would not go off all right. Carrie herself always served such elaborate meals whenever Helen and Warren visited them and was so particular about certain of her likes and dislikes that Helen al ways fidgeted herself into a cas§ of nerves whenever Carrie came to the house for dinner. The silence was becoming uncomfortable, when suddenly Carrie's eight-year-old boy burst into the room, followed by Winifred. "Mother, I told Mary I could have some bread and sugar, and she wouldn't give me any. I'm hungry." "She didn't say she wouldn't give ."she told you to ask your mother." Carrie looked up quickly, and Helen said sweetly, "Of course you shall have a piece of bread if you like, Roy. Winifred, you may tell Mary to give your counsin a slice of bread with some sugar. No, dear," as she saw the mute request in Winifred's eyes," you don't want to spoil your dinner, do you?" Winifred did not coax, she simply turned and followed the teasing Roy out of the room.. "I told her," explained Helen, smilingly, to Carrie, "that if she wanted to come to the table in the evening, she must be willing to do without anything in the afternoon, and she's a darling about it. "You're too quixotic in your ideas of bringing up children, Helen." Carrie returned. "What's the harm in giving the child a piece of bread when she is hungry?" "I think she is better without it." "Meaning,, of course, that I am not right in allowing Roy to have it." i "Of course not, Carrie, I never thought anything of the kind," propitiated Helen quickly. But underneath she was proud of Wini fred's self control, .and certain that it was because of the difference be tween Winifred's and Roy's be havior that Carrie had become so irritable. Certainly, if either of the two children was spoiled, it was not Winifred.

Advice to the Lovelorn A FICKLE GIRL DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I had been going about with a young lady for two years and vol unteered my services at the out break of the great war. After two weeks at camp 1 heard she was en gaged. After substantiating the ru mor I severed our friendship. Now I hear that she has broken her en gagement and is anxious to return to me. SOI.DIER BOY. The girl seems to be a rather fickle young creature, but perhaps through her temporary disloyalty she really discovered the depth of her own af fection for you. Don't let rumors affect you so strongly. If the girl jilted you for another man and now has jilted him for you, this much ought to be demanded of her in or der to teach her the lesson she needs to learn: It should be she who should write and seek reconciliation ■ —not you, who must hold out the olive branch of peace." Dear Miss Fairfax: • I am nineteen and commute every day to New York. In our ofllce is a young man who pays a great deal of attention to me, and I, in turn, care for him. Now, what is bothering me is this, my employer, a man of about twenty-eight, takes me out to lunch nearly every noon, and once consented to /go to an up-town restaurant and dine; after which followed an unpleasant scene. Ever since then he has been very nice to me. Now, what would you do, leave his employment and take much less somewhere else, or try not to notice his advances. IRENE. My dear girl, when you say "Would you leave and take less money somewhere else" you are defi nitely asking me to tell you to stay, and then later, if things go wrong, you will excuse yourself by saying that I told you to stay where you were! But I am not going to an swer as you desire! By all means leave your place and seek .another. There are more good business op portunities now than there are in dividuals to fill them. And "you are evidently not of strong enough cali ber to repel the advances your em ployer seems inclined to make. Noth ing of good and a great deal of harm can come to you from your association with a man who does not play fair. • HOY'S I/EG BROKEN Gettysburg, Pa., March 7. —Jay D. Johnson, son of C. W.

A series of wails from persons who never lived the hellish intensity of the life now being experienced by thousands of American boys, have been floating about so lively that "Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund" begs to announce a kindy word from so high an authority as the Secretary of War, as follows: "The War Department approves of their enterprise (that of those who take part in raising the tobacco fund) and thanks them in behalf of many a homesick soldier or sailor who will be cheered not merely by the kindy gifts themselves, but still more by the spirit of cordial and homely sympathy which inspires them."

Inc.. 881 Broadway, New York < Farmers Urged to Test Corn Before Planting County Farm Agent Niesley is urging l upon the farmers of Dauphin county the necessity for securing a germination test of their seed corn before planting it. He is prepared to furnish anyone who requests it, a bulletin giving detailed information on how to proceed in making an in dividual ear test to determine the germination of seed corn. "This year, no doubt, corn will have to be planted having a lower germination than could ordinarily ba recommended. One or two samples that germinated a little over 40 per cent had 35 or 36 ears out of a hun dred, giving six and not less than five> grains for germination. In other words, it seemed that if an ear was injured at all, the whole ear was in jured, so that most of the ears are either absolutely unfit for seed or are fit. It is evident, therefore, that corn giving as low as 40 to 60 per cent, germination will usually have enough good ears that any one will be able to get out some good seed by individual ear testing." GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS Recommends Daily Use of Mag nesia To Overcome Trouble. Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion, Gas and wind in the stomach ac J companied by that full, bloated feel ing after eating are almost certain v evidence of the presence of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, creating so-called "acid indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous be cause too much acid irritates the | delicate lining of the stomaccb, often leading to gastritis accompanied by serious stomach ulcers. Food ferments and sours, creating the distressing gas whtoh distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. It is the worst, of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get l'rom any druggist, a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweet en the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bisurat ed Magnesia (in powder or tablet form —never liquid or milk) is harm less to the stomach, inexpensive to take and the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indiges tion. G. A. Gorgas.
