Association Drafts a List OF
Needed Repairs to Be
Urged on D. c.

The executive committee of the
Southeast Washington Citizens As
ISOLATION will draft list of urgent
ly needed street repairs for sub
mission to the District Commits
sioners, and unless the city heads
give prompt heed to conditions de-
scribed as lamentable, association
members will haunt their offices
until action is forthcoming.
These were decisions arrived at
by the association during a meet
ing last night in which many in
stances of defective paving, or
total lack Of paving were given by
speakers from several parts of the
Organizations territory. On some
streets, it was said, the roadway is
so full Of holes that water remains
until it grows stagnant, particularly
on Fourth street from Seward
square to G street.
The Southeast Schools are gen.
orally in bad condition. according
to A. Pfleger.
THE Board of Education and the
Commissioners, he declared, should
be invited here to make personal
inspection, that they may see the
urgent need for improvements

He said that he has been travelling

difficult to get drugs.
Country Never Freer.

shows that there is q great short
age in the market.
One reason given by the agent is
that peddlers who are caught and
convicted are being given five years
in jail.
''The thought of having to stay
for such a period in confinement =
he said, ''scares the peddler and he
is becoming more wary. OF course,
there is traffic in the drug field,
but 1t is only in isolated parts of

WHY TAKE
LAxATIVES7
Discovery by Science Has
Replaced Them.

Pills and salts give temporary relief
from constipation only at the expense
of permanent injury, says an eminent
medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple Is Nature it,
self.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because it
acts like this natural lubricant and
thus secures regular bowel movements
by Natures own Observation-Disclosures.
As Nuiol is not a medicine or laxa-
tive, it caHno grippe and, like pure
water, it is harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is used in leading hospitals.
