THURSDAY EVENING. • HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 2, 1918.
Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
What kills married love?" An
unhappy woman put the question to
ine In a letter the other day, and
Then proceeded to answer It. "Money:
is the chief cause of domestic till
happiness. Other married woes may
be endured with dignity, patience, |
resignation, but there is something |
degrading about the disputes that j
arise over money."
My correspondent then went 011 toj
toll me about her own case, fihei
and her husband had been through!
everything together—poverty, sick-!
Hess, the death of a child, then sue-!
l ess and prosperity. But breakers
were now ahead, because they could!
not compromise their differences on I
money matters.
The wife Insisted that she was not,
ixtravagant, and to prove her claim, 1
went on to tell that in their ieani
years she often did all the house
hold work, besides taring for the
children and doing the family sew
ing.
And now that her husband was!
prosperous, even more than pros-|
porous, she felt that a little dascj
and comfort were only her due.'
"But," she went on to say, "he al-|
lows me for household expanses)
but little more than he gave me
in our direst poverty, lie still ex
pects me to do a great deal of the
housework, and gives me no per- /
senal allowance at all."
The matter came to a climax
when she ordered some necessary|
clothing at a department store, nmlj
had the bill sent to her husband.!
who promptly refused to pay it; siioi
appealed to a woman relative who]
settled the bill, and now the wife ex-|
pects to sue for separation and main- j
tenance.
Prosperity Is Fatal
An extreme case, you will say, |
and very probably it is, but varia-j
tions on this distressing and sordid!
theme disturb the peace of far teo|
many American families. The amaz-j
ing thing is that people can face pov-j
erty together—they car. scrimp ami
save and do without—but prosperity j
will upset the domestic ship in seven |
cases out of ten.
People Who have been through,
everything together, as this woman j
says, "sickness and the death of a j
child," will turn and rend each oth-!
er for a few miserable dollars and I
some sticks of worthless furniture'.!
They forget that in getting down I
to this primitive basis and quar-1
reling, as their "arboreal ancestors"l
Stop Corn Agony
In Four Seconds
Use "Gets-It"—See Corns
Peel Off!
The relief that "Gets-It" gives from
corn-pains—the way it makes corns
and calluses peel off painlessly in one
piece—is one of the wonders of the "
world. The woman in the home, the

corn and callus pains—the one sure,
painless remover that makes corns
come off as easily as you would peel
a banana. It takes 2 seconds to ap
ply "Gets-It;" it dries at once. Then
walk with painless Joy, even with
tight shoes. You know your corn
will loosen from your toe—peel it off
with your fingers. Try it, corn suf

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Cias, Sourness and Pain
How To Treat
Medical authorities state that near
ly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach
trouble, indigestion, sourness, burn
ing, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are
due to an excess of hydrochloric acid
in the stomach and not as some be
lieve to a lack of digestive juices.
The delicate stomach lining is irri
tated, digestion is delayed and food
sours, causing the disagreeable symp
toms which every stomach sufferer
knows so well.
Artificial digestents arc not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids
and instead get from G. A. Gorgas or
any druggist a few ounces of Bisu
rated Magnesia and take a teaspoon
ful In a quarter glass of water light
after eating. This sweetens the stom
ach. prevents the formation of excess
acid and there is no sourness, gas or
pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder
or tablet form —never liquid or milk)
is harmless to the stomach, inexpen
sive to take and is the most effi
cient form of magnesia for stomach
purposes. It is used by thousands of
people who enjoy their meals with no
more fear of indigestion.

might have quarreled in the Jungle]
over a cocoanut shell drinking cup, j
or a cudgel to belabor an enemy, they.
are throwing away something thatj
money cannot buy.
> Love, trust, comradeship and the!
blessed responsibility shared in the
cure of children aro gifts of UoU
that all the money in the United,
States Treasury cannot buy. They
are the best things in life, the
most uplifting forces in the world.
Money , household goods, clothss,
jewelry and success come; in ac
quiring them we realize how much
more alluring was their pursuit'
than the actual possession. - But'
love and trust endure till Die end, I
if they are not ruthlessly done to
death.
In an extreme case, like that of
the woman who wrote me, doubt-1
less the ingrained habits of squee/.-j
ing every penny till it does the!
work of two, necessary to lift a man I
lrom poverty to success, leaves its j
imprint on the character of the in-:
dividual. In this case it seems to!
have left so much of avarice that :t|
is difficult to lind anything of the real i
man.
I.ove of Money I'surps All
The hoarding of money takes the?
place of wife and child; there is no:
joy in life comparable to juggling
money that it may yield a ftwj
more pennies to be invested, putj
in the bank, the old worsted stock-;
ing, or wherever else the miser;
keeps the darling of his heart.
Take the case of our most fa- j
mous miser among the captains ofj
finance of a generation ago. The;
hoarding of money, even pennies,!
had become pathological with him, I
he could not bring himself to!
spend, even if he knew that hoard
ing for a week, or a month, or even
a year longer, would cost him a
thousand-fold in the end.
The papers made much of thisj
story at the time it happened. The|
door bell of his bleak home was;
of the old-fashioned type that has;
to be pulled instead of pressed. It,
had long been out of order, and his
wife, visitors and the servants con- j
tinued to report to the head of the!
house the inconvenience of its lack I
of repair.
He Preferred to Take the Risk j
But the old gentleman could not!
be made to spend the dollar that!
would put it in order. He pre-1
ferred to give the bell the mighty
jerk that was required to make it
heard.
Coming home from Wall Street :
one day, he pulled the balky bell
as usual. The rusty wire broke, and
the capitalist went sprawling back
ward down his brownstone steps. j
When the specialists had finished]
patching and mending him, their
bills amounted to several thousands, |
and the bell had to be repaired in-j
to the bargain. Curiously enough, he;
did not complain over the colossal
expenditure; he paid it as another'
man of his class would buy a rare J
picture or a tapestry. When it came i
to a showdown, he was willing tol
pay the price for his pet weakness, I
that is, "Never to spend a penny til!
actually driven to it."
Saving Not Vice of Americans
Saving is certainly not the vice ofl
the American people, especially the
women, who spend more money on;
their clothes, it is alleged, than [ill j
the women of Europe put together.
What would our grandmother, j
with that sole black silk dress
that was inherited from generation j
to generation think of those di-!
aplianous fabrics, those chiffons
and gauzes, that we feel we must
have in such profusion these days?
Undoubtedly our point of view
has changed very materially since
grandma solemnly bequeathed- her
best black silk and her mink furs
to her favorite daughter. In those
days no one would have dreamed
of altering furs; they were as final
in cut and shape as death and taxes,
but now we tear up our furs and!
have them made over every season.
Are we any happier than was
grandma with her gentle placidity
and her one black silk frock? I
doubt it. And certainly the inces
sant demand for money and the re
fusal and ensuing altercations are
at the bottom of much unrest in ouri
domestic life.
But the war is gradually reform-j
ing us. and the new impetus to
thrift given us by the Liberty Bond
drive may save us from one of our
least commendable tendencies.

Apart from the discomfort of this
method of traveling and the slow
time I made, there was an added
danger to me in the fact that the
"squash, squash" noise which I made
might easily be overheard by Bel
gians and Germans and give my po
sition away. Nobody would cross a
swamp or marsh in that part of the
country unless he was trying to get
away from somebody, and I realized
my danger but could not get around
it. *
Cows Yoked With Donkeys
It was a common sight in Belgium
to see a small donkey and a com
mon ordinary milch cow hitched to
gether, pulling a wagon. When I
first observed the unusual combina
tion 1 thought it was a donkey and
ox or bull, but closer inspection re
vealed to me that cows were being
used for the purpose.
From what I was able to observe,
there must be very few horses left

in Belgium, except those owned by
the Germans. Cows and donkeys are
now doing the work formerly done
by-horses and mules. Altogether 1
spent nearly eight weeks wandering
through Belgium, and in alt that
time I don't believe 1 saw more than
half a dozen horses in the posses
sion of the native population.
One of the scarcest things in Ger
many, apparently, is rubber, for I
noticed that their motor trucks, or
lorries, unlike our own, had no rub
ber tires. Instead, heavy iron bands
were employed. 1 could hear them
come rumbling along the stone roads
for miles before they reached the
spot where I happened to be in hid
ing.
When I saw these military roads
in Belgium for the first time, with
their heavy cobblestones that looked
as if they would last for centuries,
I realized at once why it was that
the Germans had been able to make
such a rapid advance into Belgium
at the start of the war.
I noticed that the Belgians used
dogs to a considerable extent to pull
their carts, and I thought many
times that if I could have stolen one
of those dogs it would have made a
very good companion for me and
might, if the occasion arose, help
me out in a fight. But I had no way
ot' feeding it and the animal would
probably have starved to death. I
could live on vegetables, which 1
could always depend upon finding
in the fields, but a dog couldn't and
so I gave up the idea.
Fires Too Dangerous
The knack of making Are with two
pieces of dry wood 1 had often read
about, but i had never put it it to a
tpst, and for various reasons I con
cluded that it would be unsafe for
me to build a fire even if I had
matches. In the first place, there
was no absolute need for it. I didn't
have anything to cook nor utensils
to cook it in even if I Had. While
the air was getting to be rather cool
at night, I was usually on the go at
that time and didn't notice it. In the
daytime, when, I was resting or
sleeping, the sun was usually out.
To have borrowed matches from
a Belgian peasant would have been
feasible, but when 1 was willing to
tnke the chance of approaching any
one, it was just as easy to ask food
as matches.
lri the second place, it would have
been extremely dangerous to have
built a tire even if I had needed it.
You can't build u fire in Belgium,
which is the most thickly populated
country in Europe, without every
one knowing it, and I was far from
anxious to advertise my where
abouts.
The villages in the part of Bel
gium through which 1 was making
my course were so close together
that there was hardly ever an hour
passed without my hearing some
clock strike. Every village has its
clock. Many times I could hear the
clocks striking in two villages at
the same time.
But the hour had very little inter
est to me. My program was to
travel as fast as I could from sun
set to sunrise and pay no attention
to the hours in between, and in the
daytime I had only two things to
worry about; keep concealed and
get as much sleep as possible.
Sick of Turnips and Beets
The cabbage that I got in Belgium
consisted of the small heads that the
peasants had not cut. All the
strength had concentrated in these
little heads and they would be as
bitter as gall. I would have to be
pretty hungry to-day before X could
ever eat cabbage again, and the
same observation applies to carrots,
turnips and sugar beets—especially
sugar beets.
It is rather a remarkable thing
that to-day even a smell of turnips,
raw or cooked, makes me sick, and
yet a few short months ago my life
depended upon them.
Night after night as I searched for
food, I was always in hopes that I
might come upon some tomatoes or
celery—vegetables which I really
liked—but with the exception of
once, when I found some celery, I
was never so fortunate. I ate so
much of the celery the night I came
upon it that I was sick for two days
thereafter, but I carried several
bunches away with me and used to
chew on It us I walked along.
Of course, I kept my eyes open all
the time for fruit trees, but appar
ently it was too late in the year for
fruit, as all I was ever able to find
were two pears, which I got out of a
tree. That was one of my red-letter
days, but I was never able to repeat
it.
In the brooks and ponds that I
passed I often noticed fish of differ
ent. kinds. That was either In the
early morning, just before I turned
in for the day, or on moonlight
nights when the water seemed as
clear In spots as in the daytime. It
occurred to me that it would be a
simple matter to rig a hook and line
end catch some of the fish, but I had
no means of cooking them and It
was useless to fish for the sake of

Advice to the Lovelorn
By III2ATKICE FAIRFAX
The Gambling llullit
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
We have lived happily for four
j years, have a nice home and two
| children. My husband is very
. fond of horse racing. He has lost
] most of the time. When he wins
jhe plays all the more. 1 have tried
;to get his mind on other things. Ho
I means well. He says "I want to
get rich quick." It worries me ter
j ribly. We have already drawn from
| the bank several times and the
| rent is overdue. Is there any cure
j for this gambling habit ? J. B. F.
The gambling habit is about on
i a par with that other horrible foe of
| humanity—drunkenness.' One sure
| cure for it is a sojourn in the poor
! house or prison, where the "get-rlch
! quick" racetrack gambler generally
j lands. No poor man ever beat the
j great stock manipulators of Wall
j Street nor yet the bookmakers
|at the races. These gentlemen are
! not in business "for their health",
| but to take the money of just such
' men as your husband. Once I
I made a study of the racing game
ias a newspaper assignment. I went
' to Belmont Park with exactly $5 to
place. On the first race I won
I about S2O. That is the point at
; which the man who bets on the races
always thinks with joy, "I'm going to
make a fortune. I am lucky. I
understand the 'ponies. " But In
every subsequent race I lost. I
stopped when I had lost just the $3
1 had allowed for the experiment.
By the way, I was one of a group
of five—and each of us either came
out as I did—or * 'h greater loss
es. You cannot b. the bookmak
ers. Show my reply to your hus
band. Your rent is overdue, you
are on the verge of the poverty
that always comes to those who
tfy to get rich quick. You must
not nag or scold the man you love.
Just try to make him see reason.
And let your love and devotion
make up for the feverish pleasure
you ask him to give up for you.
UNREQUITED I.OVB
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am hopelessly in love with a hand
some sailor boy. He has recently
gone away and has not written to
me. Also, he did not pay enough at
tention to me when he was here. I
paid him very much attention and he
did not reciprocate, although he told
my friends he liked me. Please tell
me what to do. 1 am heartbroken.
Hoping you will answer this as soon
as possible, I am.
Yours,
MISS R.
I am afraid. Miss R. you must have
killed your handsome sailor boy with
kindness. Men, alas! are often wooed
and won in spite of their most val
iant efforts, but it takes considerable
art to conceal these processes. And
the man likes to preserve the illusion
that he is doing the courting, even
though he has moments of vision in
which he knows that it is beyond him.
The next time you take a fancy—
for you are really not heartbroken
dont "pay him very much attention."
I,et him do this, and try to preserve
a discreet attitude of receiving his ad
dresses, gracefully.
Nothing alive enjoys being shooed
to its fate, whether it is a chicken
about to be decapitated, or a man
urged to propose. A semblance of
leaving the situation in his hands
will work miracles, even though he
was doomed from the beginning.
SF.EKS TO CORREPOND
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have received a letter from a
young man In a training camp, re
questing that I correspond with him.
I do not know him. My older brother
severely reprima ided me for even
considering the matter, saying that
lit would be decidedly unladylike.
| Please tell me your opinion on the
I subject, and also if be should come
up to this city, in which his home is,
would it be proper for me to permit
1 him to call at the house? Several of
! mv girl friends under the same clr
! cumstanees are likewise awaiting
I your decision before answering their
ietters.
M. A. K.
These stirring days hearts go out
so eagerly to our brave soldier boys
that it is difficult to realize, some
time*, that we ought to abide by the
conventions the same as in times of
peace.
Doubtless this young man in uni
form is everything he should be
certainly he is doing his part. But
I can't help agreeing with your
brother that an introduction Is nec
essary before he writes or calls on
you.
But, with all the organizations and
citizens' committees anxious to make
tilings pleasant for the men In uni
form, an introduction ought not to be
difficult to manage. A number of the
churches are arranging neighborhood
gatherings to give soldiers and sailors
an opportunity to meet nice girls.
Why not go to one of these?.
THE SOI.DIEH FRIEND
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 17 fftid have a boy friend who
enlisted in the Army about three
months aso. Once a week there Is a
dance at the armory where he is sta
tioned. Would it be proper for me
to attend this dance, escorted by him?
I also meet many friends there I
know;
Also is it proper for me to accept
a box of candy, 'all him up on the
telephone and write to him frequently
when he sails for France, which he
expects to do soon?
ELEANORE.
There certainly is nothing "im
proper" about any of your sugges
tions. and yet these very questions
.seem to puKzle any number of my
girls. The discipline at the armory
dunces Is splendid; there are gener
ally numerous fine, older women pres
ent officers' wives, Itatronesaes,
members of the National League for
Women Service, etc. Go to the dance,

Try This II You
' Have Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de
stroys It entirely. To do this. Just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
linger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
Huffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft,
and look and feel a hundred times
better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is Inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
ple remedy has never been known
to ffi.il.—Adv.
Ostend Channel Opens on
Sea Like Neck of Bottle
The Ostend Channel, which the
British attempted to block with con
crete-laden cruisers, apens like a
neck of a bottle directly upon the
North Sea. This channel, which
leads from three large basins and
several smaller ones, is about 2,300
feet long and 260 feet wide at Its
narrowest point, expanding to a
mouth 490 feet wide,
The waterway is kept free from
the shifting sands of the shore by
two protecting moles flanking it east
and west, while the town to the west
is protected by a sea wall at the foot
of which are the bathing establish
ments. If the cruisers sunk were
like those submerged at Zeebrugge
—that Is, more than 300 feet in
length—and were driven near
enough, even without entering, the
neck of the bottle, they would make
a formidable barrier around which
the sand would quickly, pile at this
season of the year, both from the
coast east and west and from the
natural discharge of the channel
carrying waste from a dozen towns
on its way from Bruges, thirteen
miles to the southeast.
The sea wall runs along the beach
as far as Mariakerke, three miles
west of the town, and forms a for
tification from which fire could be
concentrated on the mouth of the
channel. It is sixteen and a half to
thirty-five yarcs wide and twenty
five feet in height.
Beyond the beaches on the South
the channel connects with the Leo
pold basin for merchantmen, and
the naval and repair basin on the
east, the new harbor on the south,
and the fishing and commercial en
closed docks on the west. From
the basin containing the commercial
docks runs the canal to Bruges.
At Zeebrugge, a mole more than
a mile and a half long, running in
a curve to the northeast, protects an
open harbor whose mouth is about
seven-eighths of a mile wide. About
half a mile east of the junction of
the mole with the shore Is the chan
