w h t Happens
to the food you eat?

During digestion certain
kinds of food containing pro-
teins, such as meat, egg
white, milk casein, wheat
gluten, ETC., are split into
many different substances.
Some of these the body uses
to rebuild damaged or dead
tissues; some, however, are
not only useless and harm
full but in some cases actually
poisonous. Regular, thorough
bowel evacuation gets rid of
the latter.
Constipation permits stasna-
ton and absorption of these
poisons into the blood, with
injury to the whole body.
Taking castor oil, pills, salts,
mineral waters, etc. in order
TO force the bowels to move
does not-cannot cure con-
stipation but makes it
worse.
On the other hand Nujol
overcomes constipation and
brings about the habit of
easy, thorough bowel evac-
uation at regular intervals,
because Nujol is not a drug,
does not ACT ike any drug.

in the great white world, with only
the sound of the wind whistling
through the branches overhead, the
sleet cutting your face like thousand
needles-alone. without shelter-with-
out food-without hope, with only the
memory of the many, many times you
have read of death in a blizzard, and
sublime trust in the God above

farther and it was necessary TO aban-

they waited, and when morning broke

residence of Robert McMullin who
notified Miss Compton's mother OF
her safety. Mrs. Compton had not
been seriously disturbed, as she did
not think her daughter would start
home in the storm. They were of
course delighted to know that no
grave harm had come to the young
folks, who were able to be brought

LOST IN THE SNOW AND
STAY OUT ALL NIGHT

The day the storm which because
of its magnitude will for years be
designated as the big Storm start
ed, Walter Wagner and John Wade
started to Delta from the Columbine
Ranger station The storm was well
under way when they reached the
White sawmill camp at dinner time.
but as SHOWS in the valley are so un-
usual, they felt confident that as they
left the cedars they would encoun-
ter but little if any difficulty.
Mr. Wagner was on horseback and
Mr.. Wade drove two mules hitched to
a spring wagon in which crate con.
tanning hog was carried. Mr. Wag-
ner started out somewhat in advance
of Mr.. Wade and as night advanced
the storm increased in intensity un,
til by dark neither man knew where
he was going or where he was going
to make the finish.
The story as related by Mr.. Wade
is substantially the same as to cir
cumstances surrounding the two un-
fortunate men and is about as fol-
lows:
The snow became SO deep that he
lost the trail entirely and was COM
PEELED to leave both wagon and pig
and mount one of the mules, dragging
the other along blindly. At length
in desperation he managed after SER
les of efforts to make a fire where
he camped through the long. dark
hours of the night, the snow falling
in swirling eddies continually through
the entire time. His clothing was
soaked and frozen to him, while his
numb hands almost refused to act.
Mr.. Wagner put in a similar night
about a mile distant.
When morning broke it was still
showing and Mr.. Wade managed to
find the trail, and as he crept along
he met Mr.. Wagner going back in
the direction in which he had come.
Together they completed the perilous
journey to Delta. reaching here some
hours later. Mr.. Wade stated that
sometimes the mules would slip and
go entirely out of sight in the snow.
1t is needless to add that they en-
joyed the foods which were piled out
for them to eat and that they did not
wish to repeat the experience.

WHITE GIFT CHRISTMAS TO
BE FEATURE THIS YEAR


Owing to the heavy snow and the
tree with which to hold our outdoor
Community Christmas, even if it We're
possible to secure a tree which is still
a matter of doubt. the Delta Woman's
club has decided TO dispense with this
feature-that is the outdoor celebra-
ton to have a White Christmas.
While the idea is vet too young for
definite arrangements, the plan so far
is to receive voluntary gifts of mon
ey. clothing, poultry. fruits, nuts, can
dy and staple provisions. at some dis
tributing point centrally located. The
ladies will put in three days preced-
ing Christmas day, making their do
nations the day before Christmas.
That there is need in this commune
ty there is no doubt, not alone of the
little dainties, the toys and good
things which make a real Christmas
for the children, but for the actual
necessities of life; and it is with this
end in view, to relieve the situation
so far as possible in our own city and
community that the Woman's club is
making this commendable venture
1t is also planned to have a COM
munity sing on the evening of Christ
mas, at the largest available room.
