The Belgian talks only Flemish, while the other only French, and they communicate with each other by a system of knocks on wood. The two wives have been working together for a costuming house. Uuyts Is an Iron worker. Unlike the 'co-operative husband," Herbert Andrews, a stock broker, he isn't blessed with money. IJke Andrews, Uuyts is rather handsome. He is held on .51,000 bond on a charge of bigamy. When the war started Uuyts and wife No. 1 Charlotte Marie Ludovica Uuyts were living in Antwerp.

Married by Light o the Spring Moon

OAKLAND. CAL With the lull moon bathing the gardens of the Joaquin Miller home in silvery light. Juanita Miller, daughter of tie. late poet, was bride at a pagan wedding revival. As she was gripped in the embrace of her scarlet-coated husband. he stepped from the "cycle of pink tulips of curiosity" into the "evele of white lilies." the seventh and final cycle of her life. Hundreds of intellectuals" :nd a few hundred more who chiefly were curious, attended the strange vremony. The moon wus just getting well into its business of smiling when Juanita stepped into the scene. She moved quietly among her seven flower beds, each symbolic of one of the seven cycles of her life, and then she broke

into song. Juan Miller, her "lily love," appeared, clad in his cloak of scarlet and white. Coyly, from out the flower beds, she greeted him. There was music and then Juanlta disappeared. In a moment she was back in the center of the half circle of guests this time garbed in the gown she had made herself. It was of high grade burlap trimmed with this year's eucalyptus caps. With Juan she danced her bridal dance an esthetic and highly symbolical improvisation, which she had created for the occasion. There was more music and more dancing and then Juanita ascended the "altar of love." She held in one hand the skull of the long deceased Miller family cow a reminder that this life Is but transitory. The music was soft, disturbed only by the bleating of the nanny goat, whoe only child was sizzling on the altar, a sacrifice to the god of love. Juanlta leaned toward Juan and their lips met. A moment passed and Juanita leaped from the altar into a joyous dance. Legal marriage ceremony? Oh, that's all right. The couple were married by a justice of the peace three months ago.

Mrs. Herbert L. Cass en, 18 Meni Court, Providence, R. I. Ohio woman for three years could hardly keep about and do her housework she was so ill. Made well by Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetablo Compound: Fayette, 0.4,For about threeyeart I was very nervous and had backache, ßideache, dragging-down oalns, could not sleep at night, and hau no appe

tite. At times I could hardly do my housework. I got medicine from the doctor but it did not help me. I saw Lydia E.

"I was never very strong and female trouble kept mo o weak I had no interest in my housework. 1 had such a backache I could not cook a meal or sweep a room without raging with pain.

If such women would only profit by the experience of these three women, and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the natural restorative for such conditions it may save them years of suffering and unhappiness. There is hardly a neighborhood in any town or hamlet in the United States wherein some woman does not reside who has been restored to health by this famous medicine.
