Japanese Ideas That "Persist."

Popular belief In Japan has It that
If one employs the same road going
to and from funeral, the evil spirits,
now acquainted with the route, would
be inclined to lead another relative Of
the deceased to the graveyard. Young
men only are employed to do tree
grating in Japan, as it is the belief
that they impart their life and vigor
to the grated parts. Educated .Japa-
nese say that these beliefs are not
superstition; that the Ideas just simply
persist.

FREEDOM FROM
IAXATIvEs
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 means as simple as Nature
ITSELF
In perfect health 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 laxative
1t cannot grippe. It 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.-Advertise-

Burglar Theory Falls Down.

After the federal records in the
post Office at Vicksburg had been
locked up for five days in a safe with
balky combination lock, an expert
was called from Grand Rapids to open
the safe. Evidently, then, our belief
that burglars open all combination
safes at least once in three days was
without foundation.-Detroit News.

NEW YORK, April 27.-At the
opening this morning the stock
market continued the liquidation
featured the last hour of yester-
days session. 1t was evident that
the brokerage houses had received
an accumulation of selling orders
with instructions to execute them
at the best prices obtainable.
In the speculative oil, motor and
industrial stocks there was a wide
opening, reaching as high as 1%
points in such issues as Mexican
Petroleum, Studebaker and Bethle-
hem steel. The last mentioned re-
ceived rough treatment at the hands
of the bear traders, who circulated
more reports of the contemplated
passing of the Bethlehem "B"
stock dividend today, notwthstand.
ng the statement attributed to the
heads OF the corporation that no
such acton was contemplated.
The general hammering OF the
market attributed to a group of
barish professionals who habe been
vigorously striving to break the
market for a period of nearly two
months. They were credited with
having circulated the first calamity
statements about Studebaker stock,
when II was selling twenty-five
points lower than IL is today.
After the first hour prices
steadied in the general list and a
rally was inaugurated which brought
prices to a little higher than the
level OF yesterdays close. Mexican
Petroleum rallied from its low of
127x to 128% and Studebaker
gained moro than one point TO
1909. The railroad, Independent
steel and oil stocks were taken back
at a higher range OF prices.
