"HE final test of a remedy is-
 does it do away with the trouble ; for which it is takene
 By that test, the various laxatives and cathartics stand condemned.l They do not remove the condition they are supposed to cure In fact, the longer they are used, the nzoye they are needed. N Laxatives and cathartics are dangerously habit-forming.
 By the same test, the mineral oil treat. nent, used in conjunction with re- turn to rational habits of eating and exercise, reveals itself as the one logical remedy for constipation.
 Nuiol is odorless and tasteless. abso- luteIy neutral. and is not dlgested or L absorbed into the systcm. It acts | merely as a mechanical lubricant NuioI is not drug. Its use will not give quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is genuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal con- tents, and thus promoting healthy and normal boweLactivity.
 Write for s"I'he Rational Treatment of Consultation, an informative treatise on constipation If you cannot get Nuiol from your druggist we will send you a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of z5c-money order or stamps

Petrograd, Russia.-How the great
war has drained the human reservoirs
Of France-how the boulevards of
Paris are manless wastes; how the call
to arms has taken male Germans from
the farms and the villages and the
cities; how rare are men of fighting
age upon the streets of Budapest and
Vienna. and how, even in London,
there Is noted a marked falling OF
in the number of visible male beings
international blood letting have been
set forth in countless columns in the
newspapers of America for months.
That the stories are true OF those
German and Austrian and French and
even British centers there can be no
reasonable ground for doubt-the nu-
merous authorities attest their accu-
racy. But it may be set down that
this is not true of Petrograd. To all
outward appearances in this war cap
ital there is no war. There are evil
dences here and there Of great mill
tary activity There are daily drills
upon the public squares and there are
Red Cross signs in great profusion.
But Of men, or, rather, the absence OF
men-there is no such thing.
Great, mysterious. brooding Russia
the unfathomable Russia-goes
about her daily ways with a noncha-
lance that is battling to the western
mind. Her streets are crowded-the
streets of netrograd and of Moscow
and even OF Warsaw, where the fight
ing lines are but few miles distant.
Tens of thousands, literal hordes of
men Of all ages jostle and crowd along
the famous Nevsky Prospekt from
morning until night and far into the
night. The hotel Hobbies are damned
with men and women In furs and
finery.

years in Petrograd and other parts Of
Russia, in response to inquiry. well.

Russia" he continued, is going
about this war business with an air
of confidence that have never seen

fidence that your typical Britisher dis
plays, the sort we always associate
with the English and which has been
variously classed as bullheadedness.

It is none OF these with Russia. 1t
