Habit, for example, sets the hour when the delicate departments of your digestion combine in a supreme reflex action to move your bowels. Nujol cultivates that habit. If they move regularly all you know is that you feel well.
 If they don't move regularly, ysa knos0 if-the habit has failed.
 The food waste stagnatcs in your large intestine, decays, generates poisons, which are absorbed into your blood and carried all over your body. Your next effort will be more diHicut-and soon the bad habit of constipation will be estab- lished. The good habit of regu- lariV is replaced by the bad habit of iregularity-reAex action is par- alyzed, and the~waste accumulates.

PROPOSED TRADEMARK

a mericnn Chamber of Commerce In
London Expresses Sentiment
Against Scheme.
by Associated Press

by Associated Press.l
LONDON. juno 9.-The American
Chamber OF Commerce in London is
taking a keen interest in the bill in :
troduced by Representative Sims in the
House OF Representatives. providing
for national trademark to be sup
Piled to American manufacturers and
producers, under government license.
and to be attached to goods Of Amer
lean origin.
This proposal has been discussed at
meeting OF the chamber, and the views
| expressed we're against II. One reason
given Tor this opposition was that such
an official mark might be indiscrimi
nately applied to good. bad and indif-
ferent American products. ana would
operate to the detriment OF efficiently
produced goods OF quality.
The chairman of the trade informs-
ton committee OF the chamber. Paul
Z. Derrick. says:
Inc American Chamber OF Com
incrce In London. with 4 membership OF
over 6O0, including representatives OF
most important American concerns en-
saged In commerce with Great Britain.
considers the proposed law DANGEROUS
10 American export trade interests in
European markets unless the use OF
the proposed trademark be absolutely
restricted to standardized quality Of
goods. Such restriction is believed to
be impractical. and impossible Of cffi
cient application.
Further. It is believed that American
goods selling to the general public in
the British and other commercially de-
veioped European markets wouid in no
way be benefited by such a DISPLAYED
symbol Of foreign origin"
