Nulol, pure whit. mineral oil, is the medically endorsed remedy for constpa- tion. Nujol acts solely as a lubricant oiling the intestinal tract, softening the contents, and thus promoting easy normal evacuations. It is not absorbed by the system, and may be taken in any quantity without harm. Hence it is especially re- commended for children.
 Nujol is colorless, odorless and tasteless Over AZ, ,000 doctors already haveasked us to send them samples of Nuiol.

BONDS ARE FAVORED IN WALKER COUNTY
State Officers Advised That Series of Mass Meetings
 Will Be Held

Montgomery, December 15-(Special.) Capitol officials are interested in the announcement that Walker county will hold a mass meeting at Jasper next for the purpose of projecting a campaign in favor of the bond issue. Reports received at the capitol in dicate that citizens from all parts of Walker county will attend the meet ing.
 It is understood that Walker county will vote overwhelmingly in favor of the bond issue. This is indicated by letters received at the capitol from leading citizens of the county. One state official sent 40 postal cards to citizens of the county asking how they stood in regard to the bond issue. Practically every one of the 40 sent a favorable reply, and at the same time indicated that the county would pre- sent almost solid front in favor of the bond election.
 Reports from other sections of the state indicate that similar mass meet ings soon will be held. In most of the counties an active campaign is now being waged in behalf of the bond issue, and soon a number of well known speakers will take the stump in ad- vocacy of the measure.
 Governor Henderson Is confident that the bond issue will carry. From all parts of the state he is constantly re- ceiving favorable reports, his informa- tion being to the effect that sentiment in favor of the plan is gaining steady headway, and that there is little real opposition to the bond issue.

TT oN1GHT at the Jefferson
 "The Garden of Allah" a \ dramatization of the fa- nous novel of Robert Kitchens, will be offered for the edification of the theatregoers of the city and environs. "The Garden of Allah will also be presented tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon and night. There has been a large seat sale for all performances thus far and indications point to a splen- did audience tonight
 Nine artful settings combine to make the production of "The Gar den of Allah" masterpiece of stagecraft and the stellar array of histrionic talent presenting the play serves to make the entire entertainment the most brilliant offering of the season. Through out the wonderful series of stage pictures native Arabs, dancing girls and the beasts of the forest fill the stage, lending a rare tinge of reality to this spectacular of fering. The climax of the mag nificent settings is reached in the scene of Count Anteonis garden, where the riot of tropical color is delightful. Sharing honors with that scene is the famous sand storm on the stretch of desert in which real sand is utilized en- hanced by magical lighting ef- fects. Taken as a whole "The Garden of Allah" is commended to the attention of the delectable pat rons of the Jefferson.
 The tuneful musical piece, High Jinks," will be the offering at the Jefferson next week on December 22. Everyone has whistled or sung the enchanting strains of High links" and the return engagement of this clever comedy is especial ly pleasing to the captious pilot of this column.
 Another musical piece, When Dreams Come True that meets with much approval in Foot liSHlS ana screen, IS DOOked TOT Christmas day. Going to the matt nee of a musical comedy on Christmas day is just as essen- tia1 to happiness as getting hilari- ous on "eggnog" in the morning. However, until further notice from the express company, "Footlights and Screen" can be said to depend mainly on "When Dreams Come True for Christmas entertainment Let's all hope it's a good show.

Miss Mar key adds much to the 1ustre of the present output of the Triangle producers.
 From persons who attended the Trianon yesterday, it is understood that ''Her Mothers Secret was in reality an exceptionally good film. It was produced by Fox, and up to the usual Fox standard. Dor othy Green and Ralph Kellard are starred in this feature, which will again be shown at the Trianon today.
 Manager E. IT. Colley of the Prin- cess presents "The Inner Cham ber," a Lubin drama, featuring l.. c. Shumway. This is one of those blood and thunder dramas.

WELCOMED" and then Blossy drawing
her two hands from behind her back.
One held a huge blue cup, the other
the saucer to match. She placed the
cup in the saucer and held 1t out to
Abraham. He trudged down the few
steps to receive 1t, tnashamed now OF
the tears that coursed down his
cheeks. With burst of delight he
perceived shat 1t was a mustache cup,
such as the one he had always used
at home until 1t had been set for safe
keeping on the top pantry shelf to
await the auction, where 1t had
brought the price of eleven cents with
half paper OF tacks thrown in.
And now as the tears cleared away
he saw, also, what Angy's eyes had al
ready noted, the inscription In warm
crimson letters on the shining blue
side OF the cup. ITO Our Beloved

do no more than humble as he took

How tho Rain Bores Holes.

When rain falls 1t does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores it's way
in. forming tiny tubes, says the Reho-
both Sunday Herald. These tubes are
so small that 1t would be impossible
to insert hair in one OF them with
out bursting its walls. Sometimes the
tubes are bored down to a depth OF
four or 1--WE feet. When the surface
dries the water evaporates from the
tubes, just as 1t would from pipe
II the tube is twisted it takes longer
for the water to evaporate.
II one takes rake and stirs the
ground after each rain he breaks the
tops Of the tubes and the water will
stand in them for months. In this way
the farmers of the West. on semi-aric
lands. store the rainfalls one year
and raise crop of wheat every Other
year, there being sufficient water In
two years, but not enough in one. tc
raise a crop.
