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-

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.

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

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

Draw from one to tw6 and so on
to the end,
come up for dinner. 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. •

A series of wails from persons who

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." Newton D. Baker.

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.
