Speaking from my own exper.
ience don't believe there's a
medicine in the world equal to
Tanlac and I want to do my part
in letting everybody in Washing
ton know about it," said Mrs. A.
McKeown. residing at 50 II street
northwest. a few days ago.
This medicine has relieved me
completely of case Of stomach
trouble from which I had suffered
for two years. II has Just brought
me right out OF my weakness and
misery to perfect health and
strength For the first time in
two years I am eating freely and
heartily.
Before taking Tanlac sickness
and distress followed my meals
as surely as night follows day. I
had reached the point where II
was a choice between eating and
suffering, or not eating, and ! de.
cided I would rather 60 without
food than be 80 sick. Indigestion
and gas on my stomach kept me

"Tanlac has overcome all this
and that is why l say II is such
great medicine. I am now en-
joying splendid health. 1t seems
almost too good to be true that
am feeling so well after being
in such a wretched condition so
long. i eat more in a day than
I did in a week before taking
Tanlac and my stomach was never
in better condition. Tanlac has
made me feel years younger. My
husband has taken Tanlac with
as good results as I have. Every.

in French, but the woman shook
her head without looking UP.
Diana repeated the request IN
Arabic. one OF the few sentences

Diana hated the sweet, thick
stuff. but It would do until she
could get the water she wanted.

the little cup. But her eyes met
the others fixed on her. and some
thing in their malignant stare
made her pause. A sudden suspi-
cion shot through her mind. The
coffee was drugged. What beyond
the woman's expression made her
think so she did not know. but she
was sure Of it. She put the cup
aside impatiently.

said firmly.
Before she realized what was

the struggle plainly enough. The
Nubian listened with white teeth

scattered on the rug. rubbing the
smouldrring patches till they
were extinguished, and then

Education of MatrimOny

other more than they do from any other hu
man being. 1t is because each had been led
to believe that he Or she was perfect in the
others eyes, and what they really married
for was to secure for themselves an admiring
audience, ito get someone who would give
them the perpetual glad hand, to have on
the hearthstone an incense burner who
never let the punk sticks die out.
To find that they have been deceived in
this fond hope, and that, instead Of full
some admirer, they are united for life TO
somebody who disapproves Of everything they
do, from the way they comb their hair to the
way they drink their soup, and who per-
ceives in them more faults and defects than
they ever suspicioned any one individual
could have, and who tells them of their
shortcomings with brutal candor, is more
than mortal man can bear with patience.
Hence these tears. Hence these fights.
Hence the fact that most of the education
that the average man or woman gets out of
matrimony is expert knowledge of how
to avoid dangerous subjects, and a list
long as the Century dictionary, of things
that they mustn't do If they don't want to
bring on row.
It is pity that the vanity of men and
women will not permit them to learn from
each other, for each has valuable informa-
ton to give, and they might be mutual
help to each other if they were only big
enough to welcome constructive criticism
as heartily as they resent destructive criti-
cism.
1t would mean great deal to every wom-
an, for instance, if instead Of being bored
when her husband tries to talk about his
business to her, or getting angry when he
complains of the loose way in which she runs
the finances of the home, she would get
him to teach her something about business.
It would not only bring them closer to-
gether, and give them common interest in
life but it would enable her to manage her
own affairs more competently, and in case
Of the mans death it would prove her sal
walton. The great majority of widows are
cheated out Of their property because they
have refused to lear from their husbands,
and take the education that their husbands
would gladly have given them.
1t very often happens that woman Is
better born, has had better social advantages
and is more cultivated than her husband
Surely, he might well sit at her feet and
learn from the social graces that he had no
opportunity of acquiring in his youth. In
| stead of that it infuriates him for her to
call his attention to his gaucheries. Other
hands may perhaps polish the rough dia-
mond, but not his wife.
So are the educational opportunities of
matrimony lost through vanity.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

It is a curious thing that when men and
women select their life partners they seldom
pick out their ideals. They choose some
more or elss faulty individual with an idea
of making him or her over according to their
preconceived notion of what a husband or
wife should be.
Every day We see quiet, scholarly men
marrying silly little flappers who never read
anything but one of the Six Best Sellers, and
only one at that. We see poor young men,
who have their way to make in the world
marrying girls who have been raised in the
lap of luxury, and are selfish and spoiled and
idle and lazy. We see stingy men marrying
fashion plates, whose whole aim in existence
is to be the first to exploit new mode, and
who believe that the natural destination of
every dollar is the cash register Of the dress
maker and milliner.
And We see pious women marrying rakes.
Educated women marrying illiterate men, Re-
fined, dainty women marrying brutes. Quiet,
domestic women marrying FOUNDERS. Soulful
women marrying men without a thought or
aspiration beyond material things.
Observing the incolgruous marriages that
take place, the eternal query at every we'd
ding is: what did they see in each other?
What made them do it,"
And the answer is that some gust of phys
ical attraction blew them together, and, for
the rest, they believed that they could cut
each other over according to their little per-
forated. paper pattern of perfection.
For love isn't blind. 1t is only unduly opti-
mistic.
Therefore, no sooner have the wedding
bells ceased to ring, than the young husband
and wife blithely tackle the job Of chang
ing the one they have married into the one
they would like her or him to be. The stu
dent tries to read aloud to his butterfly, and
she yawns in his face. The poor man tries
to make kitchen pot of his parlor orna-
ment and finds that it can't be done. The
tightwad attempts to turn a " aster into q
saver and she revcnges herself by plunging
into wilder extravaganza.
The woman who has married a man tu re-
form him, and who expected to be able to
lift him to the higher life, finds out that all
that she accomplishes is to hurt and bewilder
him, and that he regards her as nothing but
a kill Joy, and soon abandons her for the
society of ladies who don't nag about his
shortcomings, but admire him as he is.
The first year of marriage is VIGOROUSLY
a stormy one. This is because it Is the period
of adjustment, when both husband aud wife
are finding out that neither can change the
other, and that they have got to accept that
fact, and make the best of their bargain, or
else appeal to the divorce court.
It is easy enough to understand why hus-
bands and wives resent criticism from each

q HERE will be wide-ringing respol

!" HERE Will be W1de-r1ng1ng response,
we believe, to the appeal Of Mrs.
Charles T. Phillips, president Of the
Atlanta chapter of the United Daughters Of
the Confederacy, for prompt passage Of the
bill, pending in the General Assembly, to pro-
vide for sorely needed repairs on the Winnie
Davis Memorial building of the State Normal
College at Athens. While the sum Of money
required is small, the interests involved are
great, and deeply dear to Southern hearts.
Nineteen years ago the Winnie Davis Memo
rial was presented to the State Normal as a
gift from the Georgia Daughters of the Con-
federacy. 1t is thus a treasure of the
tire Commonwealth, dedicated to the all
important cause Of education, and entitled to
the Legislatures ever-grateful concern. Not
to care adequately for its upkeep would be
disloyal to high trust and to noble senti-
ment.
In her cogent presentation of the matter,
published elsewhere in todays Journal, Mrs.
Phillips points out that the building is in
sad state of disrepair''-the roof leaks, the
plaster falls, the plumbing is poor, deteriora-
ton is general and rapid. The longer the
situation is neglected the larger will be the
cost. Twenty-Five hundred dollars now will
save the building from ruin; a much greater
amount will be required should the work
be deferred for still another twelVemonth.
Merely as matter Of good business, apart
tro. ,f'p rare human and patriotic interests,
the States property should be conserved and
needless expense avoided by the stitch in
time.
This is a subject of keen concern to every
part OF Georgia, and should appeal there
fore to every member of the General Assem-
bly,. The interest of the Atlanta chapter of
the Daughters of the Confederacy, for which
Mrs. Phillips speaks is, as she writes, mo
greater than that of other active chapters all
over the State" (Nor should it be greater
than that of any citizen mindful Of glorious
and gracious Southern memories) Further:
Il believe l voice the sentiment, not only of
the Daughters Of the Confederacy, but of all
who are acquainted with the history of the
Winnie Davis Memorial and it's years Of use
fulness, in urging tie members OF the Legis-
rature not to adjourn without providing the
funds needed to save this building" The
Journal deems it a privilege to have this
excellent cause presented through it's col
umns, and to add it's own appeal to that of
the Daughters of the Confederacy for favor
able and speedy action.

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS

Although spinach doesn't winter over we'll in
New England and other very northern states, it
is good crop to start now throughout much
of the country. In some of the fairly cold
states it goes through the winter we'll if given
little protection in the shape of hay or straw,
and is ready to eat very early in the spring.
1t is useless, though, to try to grow spinach
unless the ground is. made very, rich. Well
rotted manure is the best fertilizer, but COM
mercial fertilizer will give good results if ma
nure iS~out of the question. Remember, that
New Zealand spinach is an entirely different
vegetable, and cannot be handled in this way.
One of the Norfolk varieties is best in the
home garden, growing on tall stems and being
less likely to get sandy.
