FREEDOM FROM

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
1t cannot grippe. It Is In no sense a
medicine. And like pure water 1t is
harmless and pleasant.

generally showed an Increase over the
output In 1921, the Department of the
Interior announced here. Arizona's s
gold production was $3,61SO00 last
year, compared with s2,930.305 in

Einstein.

Einstein's brain gets into deeper wa
ter. He turns from his relatively
theory and begins studying electrons
and the quanta theory. This theory
is that radiations such as light are
streams of flying particles Of matter
instead Of waves or vibrations In the
ether.
Such probably Is the case with ra-
dlum.
At the far end of the rOnd Is the
theory that force Is form of matter.

trum and began firing, precipitating a stampede and provoking return fire. The French immediately made an investigation, arresting the police and issuing a statement to the popu- lace explaining the origin of the trouble. It is probable that the Ger man civil authorities, believing that they live over a smouldering volcano of popular resentment, are nervous and imagine the situation more se- rious than it really is. The official hysteria that has prevailed in Germany for many months is more dangerous to the peace than popular hysteria.
 It is noted that the military gov ernor of Bavaria is accused of hos tility to the central government, and that he has revoked certain decrees which emphasize that hostility and weaken the authority of the central government. Stresemann has a heavy responsibility, which is regrettable at this time, for it is believed outside of Germany that he has made greater progress towards settlement of Ger many's foreign troubles than any pre- decessor. That being the case, the world willingly gives him chance to do what he can without hindrance. The German people and petty officials would do well to follow the same holicv

A Word of Greeting

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Just few lines of friendly greeting from the far West. Our party motored from Birmingham to Indianapolis, Kansas City, Denver and Yellowstone National Park. From the park we drove to Seattle, Washington, by way of Portland. and then back to Los Angeles. and expect to return to Birmingham by way of Arizona and New Mexico. Allow me to say a word in behalf of the dear old Magic City. Of all the many places we have visited, nowhere have we been so impressed wlTn industrial possibilities as with those of Birmingham. Other cities have perhaps been advertised more extensively, but Birmingham Is bound to come to the front as people discover her true worth.

for themselves, though they seem no nearer a decision now than at the close of the war, in spite of the fact that the various angles of the Flu ropean question have been tho sub ject of voluminous debate.
 It was graceful thing for Brit ish subject of MT. Lloyd Georges eminence to say that on two occasions America had brought salvation to the British empire-once in IT'S, whea the Americans taught the British how to govern, and again in 1917, when America went to war and saved Bri- tain and Europe from the menace of Prussianism. "We claim that the real founder of the British empire, as we know it today, was George Washing ton," declared the speaker at the firss luncheon given in his honor in New York.
 Without giving any advice as to what should be done about it, the dis tinguished visitor called attention to the desperate plight of Europe grow ing out of economic chaos, smolder- ing war hatreds and bitterness, and the absence from the fields of pro- dqctivity of the millions of victims of the war. Great Britain probably has no other subject who would be given more attentive hearing in this country than will be accorded Lloyd George. lie will find certain groups of the American people openly hostile to any thing which might be said by anyone who had been in high official place in England. But the country as a whole will read and hear eagerly what he has to say and with much sympathy.

TO ABANDON CONVICT LABOR

Recent announcement that the Re- llance Manufacturing Company of Chcago has agreed not to make any further contracts for convict labor is of public interest in this state, which has a contract with that company whereby shirts made by convicts working under agreement with the company are taken by that concern at fixed price. The Reliance Manu- featuring Company is sometimes called the contract convict labor trust" It uses state prisoners in Alabama, Con. necticut, Idaho, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Wyoming in the manufacture of aprons, underwear, overalls, trousers and other articles of clothing. Under it's contract with Alabama, which was made in 1922 to run for several years, the company pays considerably less for convict-made products than it does for similar products made by the con- victs of Connecticut. The difference is from one hundred thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars a year in Connecticut's favor, accord. ing to the number of convicts em- ployed.
 This unfavorable situation was re- gently referred to by The Herald, and 1t is understood that the proper state authorities have been looking into the matter with the purpose of relief for the state. Reports are to the effect that the contract between the state and the Reliance Manufac- turing Company will be cancelled un- less profit for the state can be shown. It were we'll, too, to con- slder the discrimination in Alabama's dlstavor as respects its contract com pared with that made by Connect lcut. Meantime the Reliance com pany has decided not to make any further contracts of this kind in response to and under pressure of prison reform movements and pub. lie sentiment against cheap convict labor in competition with free labor.
 These agencies and influences work ing against cheap convict contract la- Dor are cooperating in the work O. finding profitable markets for pro. ducts of the convicts under a system of fair wages which will enable tLc convicts to be self-supporting, while paving the way for economic benefits to penal institutions. The moye promises to get rid of contract lab,- as competitive institution and to establish needful reforms in the hand- ling of /convicts on a business basis. The situation offers opportunity to the Alabama authorities to bring about decided improvement in the condition of its convicts and the administration of its penal system.

Benefits of Home-ownership
(Tuscaloosa News)

uSCdlOOSd NeNSJ
 Business groups. writes Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover. in a government pamphlet on How to Own Your Own Home" are look Ing upon home-owning in new and favorable light. They are taking a neighborly interest In developing sound financing and other machinery for the use of home seekers. and are insisting upon the observance of honorable, straightforward methods by those who deal with home seekers" He adds that "maintaining high percentage of individual home owners Is one of the searching tests that challenge the people of the United States. The present large proportion of families thnt own their homes is both the foun- dation of a sound economic and social system and a guarantee that our society will continue to de- velop rationally as changing con- ditions demand" All this Is thor oughly sound and rather familiar doctrine. The present demand shows that the American public is
 
 already pretty we'll convinced of the advantages of home owner ship. Everywhere new houses are springing up like mushrooms. One thing often lost sight of, how ever, Is the fact, suggested above by Secretary Hoover, that the pro- cess of acquiring a home is being made easier right along through the disinterested efforts of public organizations and the better methods used by real estate men, bankers and builders. Facilities of all kinds for building are far more readily accessible than they were a few years ago, and the pathway of the prospective hom.- owner is made smoother and more inviting.

how much the hope of material re- ward had to do with this I am unable to say. Whether they changed their work because they liked the new field better or be- cause 1t was calculated to pay more is a subject for speculation. Probably both reasons impelled the change. At any rate, all the advertisements touching +his home study emphasized that she rewards to be gained in technical occupations were far greater than in the ordinary callings of fife. However that may be. 1t was a call for education, for knowledge, for the fitting of ones self to do his life work in a way that would bring the greatest amount of hap piness to the individual.
 Whether anybody else reads ad- vertisements or not, I do. I like to learn what is being recom- mended to the American people. not only in the way of goods, wares and merchandise, but in the way of education and even as to the rewards which certain courses of conduct and certain pursuits may bring to the individ ual. Recently have observed flaming advertisements announce ing that without any special quali- 1lcatlons whatever, without prepa- ration or study, any person by do- ing this, that or the other in his spare time may make $5 or S1O day, and If he is willing to give his entire time he can mako s2Oo and more a week. No limit is placed upon the number of per sons who can add to their income or earn a real competence. This is a sad commentary on our boasted education.
 There was a time when prepara- tion for life was disassociated from mere material reward, when one's life work and success were bound together. Now we have a grade of advertisers who care nothing about the worlds work being done by men who are fitted to do 1t. These advertisers are putting in their time devising schemes to call men away from the work they should do to d work that they should not do, hoping to profit by simply con vincing workers of opportunities to reap exorbitant compensation.
 It was, perhaps. not an ideal state of life when a man did his work regardless of whether 1t paid or not, but it will be an infinitely worse state if all men shall con- clude to live by their wits. There is a golden mien to everything. The education of today should be the training of the individual to the doing of the thing that he Is fitted to do, and the elevation of society up to the point of con ceding that he who does his life work in a praiseworthy way is entitled to such living out of that life work as will spell for him fair measure of contentment.

 In all vacations of life actual experience is the best teacher If that experience can be hade under competent guidance. A girl brought up in a home efficiently conducted in the economic sense, and required to share intelligently In its processes, may need no other equipment. But even so it has been found through the common experience of mankind that in every vocation it is advantageous often absolutely necessary. to have some preparatory educational training in the principles and practices of the vocation so that many mistakes may be avoided, and so that 1t may be followed along the lines most conducive to success. We are beginning to the most potent, vocation In the world Is that of .homemaking. and that while its greatest values are in the intangible expressions of the heart and the spirit. 1t is none the less a vocation that in its practice is largely material involv- ing economic processes whose principles 1t is well to study and acquire through preliminary edu- cation. Out of this realization has grown the establishment of courses in home economics in many of our schools and universities, and though this educational movement has had many obstacles to con tend with, and has suffered from many mistakes. as all such move- ments must in their beginnings, 1t Is possible to say that 1t has passed out of the experimental stage and is becoming a depart ment of learning that promises soon to take rank with the high est, as, in view of the importance of the home to civilization, it sh Ould
