FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

pills and salts give temporary re-
liet from constipation only at the, ,eX-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent. medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself. @
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not a laxative
it cannOt grippe. 1t is in no II Il
medicine. And like pure water 1t is
harmless and pleasant.
Nuiol is prescribed by physicians ;
used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle

COST OF KEEPING UP ROADS
According to Reports Of Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce II Was
81 Per Capita.

The cost OF keeping up American
roads and building new ones last year
was 81 for every man, woman and
child-after deducting money from
auto license fees. SO reports the ma
tional automobile chamber of COM
merce.
It Is equivalent to a cent and a
tenth a day for each Of us. To save
that much few Of us would surrender
even the street in front Of their house.
Roads are about the greatest bless
Ing Of civilization, also the cheapest.

often, makes up for a lot of 9TH

a supply Of dry bedding handy

.. Contrary to popular belief,
hogs cannot thrive in filth.
Avoid manure piles. dusty stalls,
and stagnant pools. Probably
more trouble with pigs starts
with sucking a SOW that has
been lying in a stagnant mud
hole than from any other cause,
unless it be dusty pens.
&. Plenty Of clean water
should be handy at all times, for
the pig drinks often if he has
the chance.

Crop to Improve Soil.

Most of our garden crops have ma
tured and been cleaned off the land. In
many parts of the country it is too
late to plant anything on this vacant
land, except rye, barley or some other
crop to improve the soil. Some of
the most successful gardeners follow
the practice of sowing rye on every
foot of garden soil that becomes avail
able. The roots of the rye spread
through the soil and pick up every
choice bit of plant food they can find.
Next spring when the ground is spaded
or plowed these same roots form a net
work of fibrous material which quick
ly decays and forms new plant food
for the garden crops to feed upon.
Don't let it get more than two or three
inches high next spring before it is
turned under. Other crops will give
the same results, but rye is one of
the most practical.
Frost Breaks Up Heavy Soils.
Spading or blowing clay soils in the
autumn and leaving them lying in a
rough state over winter is also u good
practice. Heavy soils are broken up
by the action of frost, but care should
be taken that they do not wash away.
Sandy and all light soils are liable to
wash or blow away during the winter
if left loose and exposed, and for this

Exciting Bear hase

Forest and Slime Gates mad quite
an exciting bear hunt last week IN the
vicinity of Moxie, it seems they came
upon the bear by surprise. The snow
was such that it had hard work trying
to get away as the crust would break
and Mr.. Bear got poor footing. How
ever. the Gates boys gave chase and
have got the bear home on exhibition.
Tt TIPS the scale at 29S pounds. This
is early for bears to leave their win
ter quarters. The old saying Is the
early bird catches the worm, but in
the bears case he was little too
early. for someone else caught him.
II does not always pay to try and get
ahead of the other fellow.
