FREEDOM FROM
LAXAT|VES
Discovery by Scientists Has
Replaced Them.

An inestimable amount Of injury, ac-
cording to an eminent medical author
ity, is done by the use Of pills and
salts, as most Of these provide only
temporary relief at the expense Of per-
manent injury.
Science has found q newer, better
way; a means as simple as Nature it.
self.
In perfect health, a natura, lubricant
keeps the food waste soft. Thus 1t is
easily eliminated, but when constipa-
ton exists, this natural lubricant is
not sufficient.
ITO find something to take the place
Of this natural lubricant, medical au-
thorities have conducted exhaustive re-
search. They have discovered that the
gentle, lubricating action Of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol Is not a laxative, 1t
cannot grippe. 1t Is not a medicine In
any sense of the word, and, like pure
water, it Is harmless. Get a bottle from

NEWS OF III
BADGER STATE

Monroe-John Luchsinger, Monroe,
former county judge, banker and
many years a lawyer, left a letter con
tanning directions as to the division
of his estate, but left no will. He had
drawn innumerable wills for others,
and knew the importance of valid test
ments, but the document in which he
told his sons, Frank and George, how
to divide his fortune of $4,000 or
more, lacks the formal requisites of a
will. The strange instrument leaves
the homestead to the widow and di-
vides the rest Of the estate among
the children.

At least half a mile further On the road toward West Ashford lived Abner Church, his wife and three daughters, of whom I knew only the youngest, Anne. On the opposite corner made by the road from East Wilmington way, lived Henry Felch with his sister, Rosetta. This last road was the east ern boundary of the district, and fol- lowing it northward one came to the farm of Gilbert Ide, whose family con- sisted of his wife and a boy named Timothy Shea. A little westward lived Ezra Morse, his wife, who was a daughter of Abner Church, and their children, Wayne, Wallace, Clayton, and Gertrude. Farther west, almost to the junction with the East Willing tonDaleville east road lived Latham Wheeler with his daughter Amanda Mandy Wheeler's house was always open to the young people, who used to stop there to rest when going to or from East Wilmington. She did nearly all the work of that farm alone, and thus supported her father and herself. In those days very few women did any outdoor work, and her doing what she did, made her a marked figure. All honor to her memory.

 was the home of Elias Severy, nearly
 mile south of MT. Ide's corner; Mr.
 Severy, his wife, and grandson Arthur
 Severy, at that time about ten years
 old, making up the family. North of the house ran road to the eastward, then little used, and afterward entire ly al andoned; but connecting a sec ond road from the east end of East Wilmington to Daleville at the school house; the only house in sight from this road being MT. Knights, near the eastern end of the crossroad, but back from the eastern side of the road. Here lived MT. and Mrs. Knight, a young lady daughter, Nellie, and young son, George. paleville village was on the Valley road; the first house south of Dea.
