Says We'll Folks
 Don't Have Blues
This Interesting Article Explains Causes and Tells How to
 Prevent Them.

Doubtless there are days when you feel blue and despondent; you are lacking in energy, feel cross, and everything seems to go wrong. When you wake ll the morning You hate to get up, as you feel tired, and would like to lie in bed while longer. You are not sick enough to need a doctor, but you realize very forcibly that you are not yourself. The above symptoms invariably indicate that your liver is not in a healthy condi- tion and should have your immediate attention. The most modern medicine for unhealthy livers or biliousless is Lemclac, as it is not only pleasant acting but very pleasant to take. Avoid Calomel as it gripes, sickens and is liable to salivate. Take a dose of Lemolac tonight and wake up feeling fine. People who take Lemolac occa- sionally, rarely ever feel blue or de- spondent, and seldom need the aid of a physician, as most of our ailments are caused from an inactive liver. Lemolac is sold by Central Pharmacy, Pine Bluff, Ark, and all druggists un- der positive guarantee to give good satisfaction, so you cannot lose by giv- ing it trial.
 F., S.-If you forget the name spell calomel backward.

WHY MEN LEAVE ROME.

Young wives, read this over. Think
 about it. Take it to heart and act
 accordingly, enjoins the Memphis
 Commercial Appeal, in reference to l the following:
 Mrs. Orrin Arnold declares that the homes of the American people are headed toward perdition over the sos- gy broad route. Now, Mrs. Arnold should know. Her national associa- tions with the Sunshines Sciety ! the National Consumers League made her at one time con spicuous character. She has a won derful breadth of mind and wide un- derstanding of mans makeup when she announces that the best way to reach him and to hold him is through his stomach.
 "More than this, according to her theories, the same evil that drives men from home is the occasion for more than one domestic tragedy.
 "The advice of Mrs. Arnold is rs- called in divorce case heard in Brooklyn last week. In his petition the husband complained that his Wife naturally could not cook. His strong point was that he had to go to the restaurant on the corner to get some- thing to eat. This is just grounds for divorce. When man marries ne wants to marry a cook, not a baby doll. He wsnts something besides beauty. He wants some one who will consider the vital functions that make the wheels of his life go round.
 "The real cause of most of the do- destic trouble in the:s world grows out of the kitchen, according to Mrs. Arn- old. Bad cooking is cardinal sin, sin that most men can never forget or forgive. II is an old, time -honored saying that if you ever wish to do anything with man, first fill his stomach. Man, after, all is but an an- imal. With satisfactorily filled stomach he will listen to almost any thing, but without it he is not as con- Eanionable as he might be.
 Mrs. Arnold knows. She Ought to knows She has had experience. TOO many homes serve improperly cooked meals and it is but natual that men should go elsewhere to find something that appeals to their palates.
 "lt must also be remembered that women have stomachs as well as men, and what destroys the digestion in one will certainly do so in the other.
 "At the recent convention of Ma tional Association of Master Bakers this point was thoroughly argued The value of well-made bread was empha- sized.
 'lt is entirely reasonable. Bad food causes indigestion. Indigestion will sour the sweetest temper, and when temper is ruined in nine cases out of ten love will fly out of the window.
 'The wellfed man is as playful as a kitten. Sit him down to a good meal and you can, with the least effort, make him think black is white and that the moon is made of Swiss cheese.
 elf it is the object of the wife to preserve perfect felicity in the home circle, and insure perpetual peace. let her look to the kitchen and see that the stomach of her liege lord is we'll and comfortably filled.
 This is the way to hold him. If all wives would do this there would be no need for the divorce court"

What proflteth man that he gain the whole world yet lose his health?
 Naturalists say that long ago the prehistoric waters were infested with species of enormous shark which fin- ally became extinct by reason of the workings of it's voracious appetite. Thus Nature eliminates the overfed.
 The desire for ease of life and plen- tiful diet is universal and is the great stimulus of man and animals alike. When man becomes greedy and takes more ease and food and drink than Is his share, Nature discards him.
 In the race for power and place, for ease of circumstance and relief from the stimulus of hunger, the modern man is apt to forget that unless he is careful of his body he will be made to suffer for the infraction of Natures inexorable physical law. With the loss in body tone comes an equal loss in mental acuity and the brain which for time was able to operate despite the complaints of an over-fed under exercised, self-poisoned body, stops working.
 iStatisticians have discovered that the mortality rate of persons in the United States over 45 years of age is increasing. The strenuous life of to- day is not alone responsible for this Lack of health-giving exercise, super fluity Of diet, lack of restoring sleep. over-stimulation, the high pressure of the race for power. wealth and posi- tion, plus physical neglect--these bring early decay. The goal is reach ed-wealth is amassed-honor, posi- tion and power are just being grasped when the apple of accomplishment turns to the ashes of dissolution. The brilliant mind becomes clouded, the steady hand is no longer accurate, the eye which onced gazed fearlessly on the whole world is dimmed and it is not long before the final break up occurs. All of this was entirely pre- ventable.
 Other things being equal it is the man who leads the well-balanced life who lasts the longest. whose work to the ned is uniformly the best. he who neither over-works nor over plays, neither over-eats, over-drinks, nor over-sleeps, he who maintains a standard of simple healthy diet in moderation, who offsets mental work with physical recreation, who is as honest with his own body as he is with his own business. When success comes to such an one his physical and mental condition is such that he can enjop in peace of mind and content mht of body the fruits of his labors.
 The regulations of United States public health service state:
 Tt is the duty of officers to main tain their physical as we'll as their htneae. To this end they shall be allowed time for recreation md study whenever their official du-

notions Puritanical, who do not be-
lieve in being even partially embraced
by the arm of a young man who whirls
his partner of to the mad, merry mu-
sic Of enhancing melody. Then, again,
there are many girls who yearn to
dance, but are not permitted to do so
because of the strict notions of their
parents. The dance craze has been a
sorrow and a regret to this class Of
maidens.
Most girls certainly look like fairies
floating around in tulle and soft laces
in the graceful dance. But girls can
look quite as delightful on other oc-
casions. NOn-dancing clubs should be
started by energetic independent girls
who know that dancing is not the only
pleasure In life. They would be

ually In love or II they wish to
be considered merely friends; what
courtship is; how soon the young man
should pop the question, and who
should suggest that they might as well
be married at once as to wait, and so
forth.
| will try to reply in this article as
best | can to the queries OF over a
thousand young women-all on the
same subjects. A girl never really
loves, even knows she Eas a heart,
till she is conscious of its loss. That
is the beginning of the tender passion.
If a young man has fallen into the
habit of calling regularly, the natural
suppoSition is that he is interested In
the girl and finds more cOntentment
In her society than In that of any 9TH
cr girl upon WHORE he might call. The
man who Is In earnest will lose no
time in explaining the object OF his
visits to the young woman's family,
as we'll as to Overwhelmingly, that he
has found that he Is fond of her and
that he would like to call for a stated
period to discover If they are mutually
attracted to each other, and with the
intention of proposing marriage II oil
Is favorable.
During this period, when no be-
trothal is pending, a young girl may
| show her interest in the young man
by welcoming him cordially, not eff
fusively, when he comes, showing an
interest in his conversation, his home
folks and his employment, If he is
won't to speak of 1t.
Until n mar asks for a young wom-
ans hand in marriage and is accepted,
he has no right to expect to be enter
tanned exclusively by her. He has no
right to feel aggrleved If her family
comes In when he calls, aiding her In
making the evening pass pleasantly
for him.
Lastly, but by no means least, n
young man should not expect to have
his betrothed sweetheart wholly to
himself when he calls. He Is expect
ing to take her all too soon from her
home folks. He should allow them to
enjoy her society with him to the very
last day. Girls who absorb all this
knowledge know all that l have been
able to discover by book or history
concerning the course Of true love
and the cause of its running smoothly
or otherwise.

A woman writes me in all seriousness
asking which are the best lOved-the
women who toll not-pretty dolls that
fascinate men-or the earnest women
who believe that they should accom-
plish some good In life? Is a woman
less lovable to a man If, instead of
rose-leaved palms and polished finger
tips, her hands show signs of homely
homework? Do men only like the
women whose n thought is of pleas
ure instead of those who must plan
anxiously to keep a roof over their lit
tie family and their children neat, thus
giving him something else to converse
about than idle flippancy?
Such questions as these cannot be
answered offhand. The heart of one
man cannot be judged by the hearts of
20 others. One may be dOmesticated
while the other nineteen-would not
be tied down to home life though they
married earthly angels. One man is
all devotion to the little family that
comes to him, while the man who has
no affection for offspring counts them
rs troubles he cannot avoid"
I am happy to say that the latter are
few and far between. The coming OF
children changes the majority of mems
natures completely. Love and senti-
mental whisperings men enjoy for a
time, but they are sure to weary of it
sooner Of later. The time comes when
they yearn for a conpanionable mate,
one who can console them If business
goes wrong, aye, or who can advise
them. The best Of men are apt to err
in their judgment when hedged in by
business difficulties.

nothing more than to play the piano,
entertain weekend guests, make a
good appearance at theater and hall
