Pills and salts give temporary

eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way—a means as simple as Nature
Itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat-
ural lubricant Is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Nature's own
lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative
It cannot gripe. It is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water it Is
harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is prescribed by physicians;

Too Reminiscent.
I overheard a remark the other eve-
ning which would form a good addi-
tion to that remarkable series of play-
fully satirical drawing by Du Maurler
in "Punch.” entitled, “Things one would
rather have left unsaid." A very gush-
ing lady and her daughter swept across
a room and up tn a little lady who was
standing there and said: "My, how
sweet you look this evening;” then
turning to her daughter, remarked in
a very audible tone, “My dear, she
must have been lovely when she was
young.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

But It doesln’t touch Mr. Sun, for he's far

“That was fine," said Peter Gnome,

"Your winter poem wasn’t as long

"But no matter, it was a jolly poem

“It’s not the length that counts.”

Spring, spring, spring rushes along,
As it rushes I sing my song.
I sing of the warmth that is to come,
And the trees come out to hear me hum.
The buds burst open and the birds arrive.
They're all so glad that they're alive,
And I sing and make them feel so fine,
As I look down at them and shine!

"As you say, as you say,” grinned
Mr. Sun.
"Let us hear the autumn one next,"
said Peter Gnome.
So Mr. Sun began :

Mr. Sun smiled upon Peter Gnome.

“I should say you did," said Peter

Some female troubles may through
neglect reach a stage when an oper-
ation is necessary. But most of the
common ailments are not the surgical
ones; they are not caused by serious
displacements, tumors or growths,al-
though the symptoms may appear
thfe same. When disturbing ailments
first appear, take Lydia E. Pink-,
ham’s Vegetable Compound to re- ’
lieve the present distress and pre-
vent more serious troubles. Many
letters have been received from wo-
men who have been restored to health
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound after operations have been
advised by attending physicians.
Mrs. Ed wards Avoids Operation
Wilson, N. C.—“ For about a year
I was not able to do anything, not
even my housework, because of the
pains in my sides and the bearing-
down pains. I could only lie around
the house. The doctor said nothing
but an operation would help me, but
1 tried different medicines which did
no good, until my sister Insisted on my
trying Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. She said there was nothing
like it. I know that she was right,
for I began to improve with the first
bottle and it has done me more good
than anything else. I am able now
to do anything on the farm or in my
home and I recommend it to my
friends.”—Lillie Edwakds, R.F.D.

ness that the doctor told me nothing

That Particular Police Official Was
the Incarcerator, Not Liberator,
of Suspected Persons.
Early one morning before the new
traffic towers were erected, one of the
traffic policemen was roiling his "Stop
and Go" sign to Ids station in the cen-
ter of a street, when a man drove up
on a heavily loaded hay wagon and
proceeded to turn "left.”
"Hey, you can’t do that!" shouted
the policeman, wrathfully.
"Oh, yes, I think I can make It,"
called back the man, cheerfully.
And It was necessary for the police-
man to leave his post of duty to ex-
plain that although he possibly could
“make It," the man had better keep
to the right—Indianapolis Star.
In Vanity's Eyes,
He was an old man and he was
standing beside the hat counter of a ■
department store.
"No, no!” he exclaimed angrily to
the very young salesman, “I don’t want
that hat. Why, that’s an old man’s
hat you're trying to give me. Show
me something more suitable, boy.”

The letters O. R. following the name

that the person named has been re-
leased from jail on his own recog-

prisoner is to obtain the release of
his client on his O. R.
Several days ago a lawyer walked
Into the office of Edward Shubert,

The lawyer left the office, shaking his
head.—Indianapolis News.

F What is
good health worth
to you?
HEALTH is priceless. You wouldn’t
knowingly part with it for anything
in the world.
Why then do you risk it needlessly for
the sake of a few cups of coffee? Coffee
contains caffeine, a harmful drug which
often interferes with nerves and digestion.
There’s an easy, pleasant way to avoid
this menace to health, without any sac-
rifice of comfort or satisfaction. Drink
Postum instead of coffee.
