HAD GOOD REASON TO Wall
Traveller Surely Was in Predieament
That Afforded Cause for
MournfuIness.

The conductor on the California
Limited between Chicago and Los An
geles noticed that one of the passen-
gers sat in his section hour after hour
and sobbed. The first night out of
Chicago the conductor was tempted to
ask what the trouble was but having
learned from previous experiences
that one is better Off minding ones
own business he did not do so. On the
second day, as the passenger cOntin-
ued to weep and wall, he was even
more strongly tempted to go to the
mans aid, but still he refrained On
the third day. however, the sobs of
the traveller were SO great that he
could not resist any longer and he
approached him politely with the ques-
ton:
"Please tell me what is the trou-
ble?"
"Oi, oil, OIL" sobbed the passenger.

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 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 lubricatlng action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not laxative
it 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 bottle
