Time in Ruthenes

In all the towns and villages in the
distant country where the Ruthenes
live one may find clock towers ever in
view and inspection shows no two of
the clocks indicate the same time, each
clock, apparently, running very much
on its own time. But that fact has
no Importance to the Ruthenes, who
insist the scriptural injunction still
remains in force, "Ye know not the
day nor the hour" So they put clocks
in place largely as matter of deco
ration and custom, then pay no atten-
ton to them.-Ohio State Journal

senator outrank the most charming
wife of a mere attache or commission
err? Just as whenever committees are
appointed for public work the wives
of men who have succeeded, no matter
how stupid they may be, are placed
ahead of the able women whose hus-
bands happens to be less known.
Wife Help.
No one denies that a frugal and
thrifty wife may make "a poor stick
er" more successful than he otherwise
would be, or that an able, gracious
wife increases the brilliancy of her
husbands career.
I've known women who managed to
wiring from the poorest investment
some return, and other women who
got the maximum out of their good
ones; but the fact is that a wife's
profit depends far more on the hus-
band in which she invests her quail
ties than on what those qualities are.
At about this place or before, some
man will arise and say, "Why all this
bother about wifehood? Women know
they take risks. They know they must
rise or fall by their husbands worldly
success, but l opine they'll keep on
entering matrimony. They always
have and they always will. Isn't there
something else to be said for marri-
age beside its financial returns?"
Marriage Not Business
wife's point of view. So much, in
fact, that books have been and will
continue to be written on the sub
ject But | am not discussing the in
stitution of marriage. 1t is not treat
ed as a mere business, either for hus-
bands or wives. With wifehood it is
different.
What is this business of wifehood,
anyway? What does it deal in? The
comfort of husband? But some hus-
bands pay big prices for discomfort.
Service? But idle wives cost more
than busy ones.
Love? But one gets more of that
sometimes from a fance than from a
wife. Housekeeping? But the home
has often been run by sisters more
profitably than by wives.
Or does it deal in imponderables :?
Does the husband expect faith, loyal
ty, dependence and feeding of the
husband ego. Does wifehood sup
ply him someone to work for, an end
in life? That, I feel sure, many hus-
bands would say it did.
But l look about once more: Are
wives who supply these things the
most generously rewarded? Are they
the ones who receive the most for
their wares? Does the amount given
affect the profit? Decidedly no.
Men Lavish Devotion.
To give that answer you have only
to look about you and note the devo-
tion lavished on the selfish, faithless
wives, or the pride and pleasure taken
in the self-supporting wives or the
luxuries provided for the irritable
domineering wives.
Of one thing we may be sure
whatever wifehood is, women will
continue to enter it. Never worry
about that, husbands.

take, bringing pain or joy-an educa-
ton, an initiation-an occupation, a
privilege-a vocation, and avocation-

JESSE F. KIMBALL

: in stomach and chest-Wild heart
palpitation---feeling like fire from
the throat to the pit of the stom-
; ach - cramps - undigested food -
these are some of the symptoms Of
a dsordered stomach. People who
have taken Konjola say there is
nothing like this celebrated medicine
: to relieve a disordered stomach, and
put stop to such distress and mis-
cry. For instance, just a few days
ago, Mr.. Jesse T.. Kimball, we'll
/ known Indianapolis citizen, living
at 1860 Harlan ST., this city, made
the following statement about Kon-
( jola while talking with The Konjola
! Man, who is at Hooks drug store,
/ Pennsylvania and Market SITS,
where he is daily meeting crowds
of men and women from all over
this section and explaining Kon-
had suffered with indigestion
and stomach trouble over years"
said Mr.. Kimball, land never could
, find anything to help me until l got
. this new Konjola. Now l am entire
, ly well, and this medicine has also
! improved my health in general.
"At first 1 just had mild attacks
of indigestion, and I began taking
different medicines for my trouble,
but I seemed like 1 kept getting
worse all the time, so that every
thing | ate disagreed with me. My
food always caused a sour, acidy,
gassy condition in my stomach, and
of course, most of the time l was
afraid to eat, because / knew l
would have Indigestion pains after
ward.
IT heard a great deal about Kon-
jola, and now since I have taken
! this medicine, no one would ever
know that had been suffering with
my stomach. The gas and bloating
attacks do not come, and I can en-
joy a hearty meal without sign
of Indigestion. All the suffering 1
had before is entirely gone, and my
food never turns sour or ferments
like it used to.
II have benefited in many other
ways since 1 got Konjola. My nerves
are stronger and 1 seem to have
= more energy and never get tired
like I did before. am more than
glad to indorse Konjola to every
body, because I know the wonderful
relief it gives"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
1Hug Store, Pennsylvania and Mar
No Sts., Indianapolis, where he is
1aily meeting the local public and
introducing and explaining the mer-
its of this remedy. Free samples

I Konjola is for sale by all Hooks
drug stores and by druggists in each
town throughout this section.-Ad-
