In Georgia they tell of n young

barrassment when standing before his

One Sunday, after reading n notice OF

of his own for a large attendance.

FREEDOM FROM
LAxATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a mea 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 lubricatlng action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not a laxative
it cannot grippe. 1t is in no sense n
medicine. And like pure water 1t is
harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is prescribed by physicians ;
used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle
from your druggist today.-Advertise-

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and sta.'
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. V, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

COALITION government in Great
~ Britain has gone to smash. Lloyd
George has resigned as prime minister
and his entire cabinet is out. A. Bo-
mar Law has been asked by the king
TO form a new conservative ministry.
Lloyd George has promptly begun a
fight to regain power as chief of n
new party. The British are entering
on the most exciting political contest
they i've had for many years. A call
for n general election is expected
shortly.
The downfall OF the coalition minis
try was brought about when the con
servative-otherwise tory or union
lst-members Of parliament and OF
the cabinet. in caucus ut the Carleton
club, decided their party should go
to the country as an Independent
party, and, IL elected. choose n con-
servatlve premier. This action was
taken against the protests of Austen
Chamberlain, their leader, and In ac-
cordance with the advice OF A. Bonar

Lloyd George. II was preclpltated by
M tit'tioh III hultS WHICH was won,
surprisingly, by the conservative can
dldate.

Bonar Law will attempt TO form a
ministry. but he probably VIII do so.
and 1t is taken for granted that all
Its members will be conservatives ex-
cept Lord Grey. who will be offered
the post OF minister for foreign af-
fairs. The life OF this ministry un-
~doubtedly will be short.
