The Diary of an Engaged Girl By Phyllis Phillips
I spent the whole atternoon entertaining Cornelia Evans. We hart a wonderful time. Cornelia has been married two years, and was discussing husbands, matrimony as an Institution (which Bhe hasn't too much praise for) and careers. We got terribly Involved In our own philosophies somehow or other, and finally called off the argu. ment as being unsuited to artistic temperaments, which as we all know are not apt to be consistent nor reasonable. We had tea, and felt that we were expressing our deepest selves much more effectively by that elmple act. and a mild discussion about the relative values of the academic and the futurist schools, than by any futile dips into the psychology of husbands. Cornelia has made me think, however. She has some strange tales to tell about her two years' experience as a wife. Of course, Cornelia is Cornelia, and I am I but she went into rude shrieks of laughter when I said this, and told me that those had been her very words some three years before, when friends of hers had regaled her with some of their confidences. In fact, according to Cornelia, there never was a prospective bride who did not feel in some strange way, unknown to the world, she was different l'rom the ordinary run of prospective brides, and wives, and therefore could not have the same fate in store as those others. Now, when Cornelia dares to tell

me that the day will surely come when even I, like unto the rest of the common herd, will live to be annoyed or worse, will even be bored at the sound of Jack's latch-key rasping (that's the word she used) in the lock, I feel that somehow or other Cornelia herself is at fault. She has slipped up somewhere. I suggested this, in my quiet little way, and sent that foolish girl Into new fits of laughter. To be sure, Cornelia confesses honestly enough that she does not blame Billy for the situation any more than Ehe does herself. No, Bhe simply lays It up to matrimony, as is, and the fact that she ever entered into that 6tate! I felt very sure of certain things, problems, then raging in my soul, as she talked, but said little I have the gift of silence, fortunately. Cornelia tells me that all husbands are alike, that Is after the first yoar. Pathetlcaly so. Dear, dear, and I still have my illusions. Wives too, it seems, are singularly similar in their ways and outlooks. Wives in fact are the great stoics of modern times, and unsung heroines of the age. I suddenly remembered a glimpse I had of Cornelia's apartment, and with vivid accuracy recalled the appearance of that untidy parlor, bedroom and bath, as seen by me. Now what I do know is that all wives are not untidy. Cornelia is wrong, somewhere. We ended our afternoon gossip by promising to again compare notes two years from today.

Her husband is counsellor of the legation and charge de affaires during the absence of Ambassador Bonillas, who will probably be away from Washington during the next several months.
Lime Needed for Most Soils, Gardeners Warned There is no certain means by which the average gardener can determine the lime requirements of his soil. As a general rule, however, the application of a small quantity of lime will be beneficial. This should be at the rate of from one-half bushel to one bushel of air slaked lime to a square
rod of ground. The lime should be
applied after the land has been plowed or spaded and while it is being raked and fitted for planting. It should always be borne in mind that no lime should be put on the land that is to be planted to Irish potatoes nor should the lime be applied at the same time as commercial fertilizers or poultry manure, as it has the faculty of liberating the nitrogen contained in the fertilizer and causing it to be lost in the air. Unbleached wood ashes contain some lime and considerable potash,
but should not be applied at the same; time as the lime. Coal ashes are bene-!
ficial as a means of lightening heavy soils. However, they have very little fertilizer value, the United States Department of Agriculture says.

to all state departments and posts of the legion: "Department adjutants are urged to Instruct their department historians on the advisability of all former service men officially recording their discharge papers with the recorder of their county. "The desirability and Importance of every member of the American Legion conforming with this suggestion is evidenced by the many instances in
. which claims ane being made where the discharge papers are either lost ' or destroyed. ! "To provide for this emergency," the j department historian should make all ; necessary inquiries and obtain full in
formation incidental to recording them from the offices of the county recorder."
Farm Labor Short; County Agent Keeps Name Record There is a" decided shortage of farm labor in Wayne county this spring, E. F. Murphy, county agent, said Tuesday. The shortage has been becoming more noticeable for the past eight years, and especially during the war and since the war, he said. The high prices being paid by manu
facturers in cities for labor makes it extremely hard for the farmer to ' compete and the prospects for a suffi-! cient amount of farm hands this sea-'
son are not very bright. Murphy said. At the last meeting of the board of directors of the county farmers' association it was decided that the county agent should keep a farm labor service.

Elderly People Have A Daily Health Problem Stomach muscles and digestive organs slow to act as age advances
MOST people find the yean slipping by without realizing it, until suddenly confronted with the fact that they can no longer digest everything they would like to eat. It then becomes their daily task to avoid what they know to be chronic constipation. When exercise and light diet fail it will be necessary to resort to artificial means. Strong physics and cathartics, however, are not advisable for elderly people. They act too powerfully and a feeling of weakness results. What is needed is a laxative containing effective but mild properties. This is best found in Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin. It acts gently and without griping, and used a few days will train the digestive organs to do their work naturally again without other aid. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been on the market since 1892 and was the private formula of Dr. W. B. Caldwell, who is himself
past 80 years of age and still active in his profession. It can be bought at any drug store and one bottle is enough to last even a large family many months. It is a trustworthy preparation. In spite of the fact that Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, there being over 6 million bottles sold each year, many who need its benefiu have not yet used it. If you have not, send your name and address for a free trial bottle to. Dr. W. B. Caldvjell. 511 Washington, Sc., Monaullo, Illinois.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young
widow, my husband having been dead J only a 6hort time. Was wondering as j to the color of clothing one should
wear. A Kh.AUc.rt. Dear "Reader": Although It is customary in many classes of society to wear black, or black and white, upon the death of a relative, the latest thought on the subject denies the custom and insists that there is enough sorrow connected with such a demise, and that black clothing heightens and emphasizes the sorrow not only for the wearer but causes the social or business circles in which she passes to become gloomy because of her garb. I do not advise black myself for this reason, and cannot personally see why the donning of black pays more respect to the dead than the wearing of usual garments. Of course, it is not likely that a person suffering from sorrow would care to wear gaudily bright gowns. Your attitude rather than your dress is what counts. Did your late husband object to the custom of mourning, or approve? This should govern you if he had decided preferences.
RATS GASSED IN A MINE. LONDON, England. After the miners had left a colliery, sulphur was
placed at the bottom of the main shaft and lit. The ventilating fan was kept going and the rats scurried to another shaft where they were crowded together, but suffocated. Thousands of rats were killed. I

You might be surprised to know that the best thing you can use for a 6evere cough, is a remedy which is easily prepared at home in just a few moments. It's cheap, but for prompt results it beats anything else you ever tried. Usually stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in 24 hours. Tastes pleasant, too children like it and it is pure and good. Pour 2V2 ounces of Pines in a pint bottle; then fill it up with plain granulated sugar syrup. Or use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead f sugar syrup, if desired. Thus you make a full pint a family supply but costing no more than a small bottle of ready-made cough syrup. And as a cough medicine, there is really nothing better to be had at any price. It goes right to the spot and gives quick, lasting relief. It promptly heals the inflamed membranes that line the throat and air passages, stops the annoying throat tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon your cough stops entirely. Splendid for bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and bronchial asthma. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of Xorway pine extract, famous for its healing effect on the iwembranes. To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "2'2 ounces of Pinex" with directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Co., Ft.

and it wasn 't his crime
Justice sometimes goes wrong. Men'are often punished for crimes they do not commit. And when we thoughtlessly take purgatives and cathartics to relieve stagnant bowels, we are committing a similar injustice. When the system is unable to remove food waste at regular intervals, it is the food waste, and not the system, that needs correction. Every other form of treatment either irritates or forces the system. Nujol works on the waste matter instead of on the system. By this entirely new principle Nujol will keep the poisonous waste moving out of the body. Nujol prevents constipation by keeping the food waste soft, thus helping Nature establish easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals the healthiest habit in the world. It is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take try it. Nujol i s told by all druggists in bottle only, bearing the Nujol trade-mark. Write Nuiol Laboratories Standard Oil Co.
