Farmers Urged to Test
Corn Before Planting

County Farm Agent Niesley is
urging upon the farmers of Dauphin
county the necessity for securing
termination test of their seed corn
before planting it. He is prepared to
furnish anyone who requests 1T,
bulletin giving detailed information
on how to proceed in making an in
dividual ear test to determine the
termination of seed corn.
This year, no doubt, corn will
have to be planted having a lower
termination than could ordinarily be
recommended. One or two samples
that terminated a little over 40 per
cent had 35 or SO ears out of a hun
dred, giving six and not less than five
grains for termination. 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. 1t is evident, therefore, that
corn giving as low as 40 to 60 per
cent. termination will usually have
enough good ears that any one VIII
be able to get out some good seed by
individual ear testing"

THEIR MARRIED LIFE
Copyright by international News Service

We'll, well, here she is now, come
and see your Aunt Carrie. Winifred,
and here's Roy, speak to your cous-
in, Roy, that's q 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 Carries unusu-
ally genial mood. 1t 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 bought
new spring suit which suited her
very we'll and which Helen had ad-
mired eXtraVagantly.
"Yes, | 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 bit of diff
ference whether we can afford it or
feel like a human being at least
once a season"
Helen smiled politely. Carries
rather large frame was always
clothed in the most expensive of
we'll as Helen in spite of this fact,
which truth ranked 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.
We'll, 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 / spent so much for it
that I felt I couldn't afford a nice
street dress. This year I am going
without. q new suit, and am going
to buy street dress little later"
"I see," and Carries 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. do knit for the soldiers.
Carrie. I have done three sweat
ers."
"Indeed!"
Helen felt the hostility in the ex-
clamation and Carries entire disap-
proval of such an idea, and she has
tened to add:
you see, Winifred has been
wanting a sweater so badly, and
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

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-'
companied by that full, bloated feel
ing after eating are almost certain
evidence of the presence of excessive
hydrochloric acid in the stomach,
creating so-called "acid indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid lrritates the
delicate lining of the stomach, often
leading to gastritis accompanied by
serious stomach ulcers Food ferments
and sours, creating the distressing
gas which distends the stomach and
hampers the normal functions of the
vital internal organs, often affecting
the heart.
1t 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 from 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 it's 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. 1t is used by
thousands of people who enjoy their
meals with no more fear of indiges-
tton. G. A. Gorgas.

What To Do When
Nerves Go Wrong
A SPECIALISTS 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 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, rundown 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. 1t brings a ten
minute change from that awful dull,
weak, lazy, don't-give-a-h hang feeling
to brightness, strength, clear headed
ness and courage. 1t calms and
strengthens the nerves of people who

gives them poise, power and tremend-

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 | 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
hearing.
Merit and straightforward deal
ings is what scores in 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 NUT
tons again, or rather to our Tow
sers and Tabbies-the discordant
husbands and wives. AS l say, the
individual case is very hard to
judge. An outsider cannot possibly
know all the facts; and, after all,
the complaints recited in any bill of
particulars are but list of symp-
toms, which may or may not indi-
cate the real trouble. Many man
or woman branded as a black sheep
in the matrimonial fold might have
been a prize winner if more congen-
tally mated.
From the multitude of letters l
have received 1 have finally come to
the conclusion that the pinch in
marriage as it exists to-day lies in
the Numerically 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.
1t is reflected in almost every
communication I get upon the sub
ject. Here, for instance, are two
letters selected at random from a
pile in front of me:

kindly express your views concern
ing wife who gives up her home

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 case
of nerves whenever Carrie came to
the house for dinner. The silence
was becoming uncomfortable, when
boy burst into the room, followed
by Winifred.

some bread and sugar, and she
wouldn't give me any. I'm
hungry"
She didn't say she wouldn't give

Carrie looked up quickly, and
Helen said sweetly, "Of course you
shall have 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"

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. Whats the harm
in giving the child a piece of bread
when she is hungry"
II think she is better without it."
Meaning, of course, that 1 am
not right in allowing Roy to have
it."
"Of course not, Carrie, 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 Winifreds and Roy's be-
havior that Carrie had become so
irritable. Certainly, if either of the
two children was spoiled, it was not
Winifred.

and husband, stating that she
no longer loves him? We We're
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 wifes craving for the things
which are greatly beyond our means

tie 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 beer
faithful to her? My heart and home
are open to her, and l would gladly
welcome her back if she would re-
turn"
The other letter is evidently
written in white heat. Il am a wom-
an of forty" it begins, "and have
been. a good, honest wife for over
twenty years, a fine housekeeper. Is
there a chance for me to get out and
make my own living? | am sick of
being a mere drudge of the kitchen,
of staying at home and seeing moth
ing but pots and pans. My husband

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 l 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
out to her, but paid as her due-she
feels defrauded, and no fummery
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
iolt. A lot of the floral garlands
which mans 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 ma
ton, 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 Ger
Eden will have a fair chance.

|Life'sProblems
| 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 case of matrimonial disagree
ment 1t 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 quail
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 flood of letters as has
avalanched upon me within the last
few weeks, telling of quarrels, mis-
understandings disaffection between
husbands and wives!
L sometimes wonder if this long,

more closely indoors than usual, in
