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. II they
move regularly all you know is that
you feel well.
If they don't move regularly, y0n
kn0qv if-the habit has failed.
The food waste stagnates 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 difficult-and soon the bad
habit of constipation will be estab-
lished. The good habit Of regu-
larity is replaced by the bad habit
of irregularity reflex action is par
alyzed, and the waste accumulates.

GERMANS MUST GIVE CLOTHING
Government is Also Taking Curtains
for Soldiers Uniforms.

AMSTERDAM, July 30.-The Ger
man government has given final no
tice' to the public to give up volun-
tarily at least one suit of clothes each
to the war workers and the army. Fail
ure to meet the demand will result in
forcible requisition and delinquents
will be liable to Imprisonment for one
year and a fine not to exceed 10000
marks
With very few exceptions none of the
German communities has yielded to its
assessment of worn clothes to make up
the aggregate of the 100000 suits
required. Greater Berlin has contribu-
ted 34,994 only of the $4,000 suits de.
manded How high the need for fab
rics has risen is shown by a decree an.
nouncing the pending confscation OF
curtains, which will be replaced gratis
with paper fibre material or paid fo1
at the original peace time cost less wear
and tear
Although private residences have
been exempted from the confscatior
for the present there already is a gooC
deal of grumbling. The Lokalanzeigei

| plagued middle classes, is tired of max
