THE POLICE FORCE
OF T ii E BIO ID Y
DAY and nigh,-without
~ ocasing-a struggle is
going on in your body be-
tween the germs of disease
and the white blood cor
puscles-the police force Of
the human body.
If this police force weakens,
disease germs gain a foot
hold-sickneSs follows.
Constipation is the most common
and dangerous way OF corruptng
the human police force. Food
waste remains too long in the in
neutrality-suspicious. the blood
and opens the way for attack by
the germs that cause tuberculosis,
diphtheria, pneumonia and null
titude of other ills.
The culpable habi, of using salts,
pills, mineral waters, castor oil,
etc, to force the bowels TO move,
makes this condition even worse,
as constipation returns almost I'M
mediately.
Nuiol is entirely different from
drugs as it does not force or irritate
the bowels.
Nujol prevents stagnation by soft
ening the food waste and encour-
aging the intestinal muscles TO act
naturally, thus removing the cause
of constipation and self-polsonlng.
Its absolutely harmless and pleasant.
Nujol helps Nature establish easy,
thorough bowel evacuation at reg
ular in,ervals-the healthiest habit
in the world.

druggist today and keep your police
force on the JOB.

more lean waiting for previdential
bonuses ON parental reputation. Some
stocks pay perpetual dividends, but
ancestral fitness often goes to seed in
the spineless scions of modern days.
Natures dividends depend on present
production rather than on records Of

mighty good introduction to the pres

Metallic Lead.

Evidence has recently been discov-
cred which points toward the existence
Of at least two kinds of metallic lead.
Every sample of ordinary lead always
has exactly the same atomic weight
as every other sample, but lead from
radioactive minerals - lead which
seems to have come from the decom-
position Of radium-has neither the
same atomic weight nor the same dem
sity as ordinary.lead, although In many
properties; including their spectra,
they seem to be identical.

Dr.. Jennings Death

DR.. Robert H. Fleming's extended
period of service in his city was rich
in the fruitage of applied consecra-
ton to the promotion of what is best
and most worn while in the religious
life and moral stability Of the COM
munity. His influence reached far
beyond the radius of Westminster
church, of which he was in charge
and the denomination with which
he was affiliated. 1t touched all the
vcfied interests OF Lynchburg, and
l.:aae Itself felt and recognized as a
strong, dependable asset of whole
some public sentiment For twenty
years he l&bored here, preaching the
word of the Master with exceptional
force, discharging with rare fidelity
tn e various DATES of his pastorate,
and concerning himself with-the spir-
itual well-being and~eivic progress
Of his fellow men. The good which. he
thus achieved lived after him when
~ he moved to Maryland and, lives after
him today.
Fleming was a man Of scholar
ly attachments, of unusual breadth of
thought and vision, of wide and
varied interests. The cloth did not
with him suggest aught of detach-
ment from great questions and i'm
portant consideration of essentially
secular nature. Abating not in the
zeal of an intense devotion to his
high calling as teacher and a shep-
herd of his church he yet experienced
the lively, intelligent concern of the
average citizen in the history and
Development of his own day and gen.

nature and temperament were dis
tinguished by sweet gracious, win
ming modesty which distinguished
him with an exceptional degree of
charm. We do not know that but for
this he was the more beloved by those
who knew him, the more genuinely
endeared to the hearts af his friends.
DR.. Fleming, exemplified and inter-
preted the lofty standards and ideals
rehely but tenaciously he held to the
old-fashioned conception of righteous
ness in citizenship. He taught them;
was ever ready to espouse their cause.
he revealed them in his daily life; he

And so he walked his ways among our
people, receiving ilways the tribute
of their confidence and esteem,
which as chivalrous, brave and
gentle gentleman, he so we'll deserv-
ed. To the inspiring memories and
the heroic leaders of the Southern
Confederacy no man was more leal
than he and no Virginian rejoiced
more than he in the re construction
of his beloved commonwealth from
the, ashes Of wars monstrous ruin
into the stature of an enduring andan
achieving greatness. We sorrow much
in releasing hand forever from the
hand of Robert H. Fleming, for
through the years we, have known
him well and honored him much for
his fitness f character, his nobility
of nature, and the graces of his
splendid personality.
