Few women realize that the Niyclla
flannels are absolutely unShrinkabic if
properly Numbered and that they come
in 4 large variety Of styles and

weights. Then there are the stripes,

William Skaggs was known as the

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 Il 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
,u-al lubricant is not sufficient. Medl-
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
il cannot grippe. 1t Is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water it Is
harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is prescribed by physicians;
used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle
from your druggist today.-Advertlse-

YOUNG GIRLS need CARE
Mothers, watchyourD Daughters Health
Health Is Happiness

From the time a girl reaches the
age Of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the r o
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl is then
passing throughis so critical, and may
have such f~ar-reaching effects upon
her future happiness and health, that
it is almost criminal for q mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many a woman has suffered years
of prolonged pain and misery through
having been the victim of thought
lessness or ignorance on the part of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over
working. Donot let themover-study.
If they complain Of headache, pains
in the back and lower limbs, they
need a mothers thoughtful care and
sympathy.

tation where II is grown. Cocoanut
palms grow best within mile Of
the shore; they must be within the
range of ocean brezes which give
them their fresh, exhlarating tang.
The palms are planted about 20
feet apart. They make a beautlfil
picture, contrasting with the won
derful blue OF the sky and even
deeper blue OF the sea. Usually the
palms are slightly bent by the trade
winds which blow for months at a
time In one direction and give the
trees their familiar slant.
Occasionally cocoanut tree Will
be over a hundred feet high, but
such palms do not produce the best
nuts. The best bearing trees are
usually 40 to so feet high. The
trunk rises without any branches
until the top is reached and It Is a
real feat to climb the trees and cut
the nuts.
This Is done by Indian boys who
climb the trunks by means of q
"liane," which consists OF creeper
wound with rope to protect 1t. The

Some package cocoanut contains
an excess amount Of water, and the
housewife who buys this Is paying
part OF her money for plain water.
On the other hand, some package
cocoanut is so dry and tasteless that
no flavor can be detected In 1t save
that Of the sugar which has been
added to the cocoanut meat.
In buying package cocoanut the
housewife will do well to ask the
following questions: Has 1t the full.

nut in long shreds or does 1t consist
chiefly of tiny bits Of cocoanut
(called in the trade 'macaroon~f

A cart drawn by oxen makes reg

the cocoanuts TO the inspection
house, where the first OF four In
spectlons takes place before the CO.
coanuts are finally accepted as flt
to be made into the finest package
oocoanut. The larger and finer nuts
are called the Selects" while the
"culls" are discarded and converted
first into copra and then into cocoa

A buyer for the house which mar

then visit the plantation with n
crow Of workmen and these will
make n second inspection, discard

will be placed aboard lighters and
taken to the nearest port important

When they reach the factory In
this country the nuts are inspected
for the third time and then opened
and peeled. After this they are
placed on n belt and conveyed

Cocoanut Is one of the foods that
has most benefited by the applica-

years the only form in which cocoa
nut meat was known was the whole
cocoanut. But there were several
disadvantages to buying 1t In this
form. The nut was hard to open
and grating Its meat was a tedious
job.
Another important drawback was
the fact that cocoanuts, unlike wal
nuts, pecans and other mats, do not
keep well. 1t often required several
