Nujol can be taken for any length Of time
without i'll effects. To insure internal
cleanliness, it should be taken regularly,
in accordance with the directions on

begin to enjoy the perfect health that is
possible only when intestinal elimination
is normal and regular.

WATER RENTS
RAWLINS WILL
NOT BE RAISED

There is some propaganda going
around in Rawlins to the effect that
the city authorities are planning on
raising the water rents. The report
from the authorities state that as
far as is planned there is no inten-
ton of raising the rents on water
users in Rawlins, thus the propo-
ganda is false.
The city has had the services of a
man who has made a house to house
canvass. checking up on water users,
the purpose being to- have a COM
plete list SO that the water rents can
all be collected. A decided attempt
will be made to collect all the water
dues and it was for this purpose that
the property owners, and water users
were all listed.
1t is believed that a false impress
sion was created when the residents
were interviewed by the man who

KNOWLEDGE 1900 Il G,

NEW YORK, MARCH 80. = A
chapter on how to change an old
old man into a young man of TWEEN
ty" has been found in the oldest
treatise on medical science and sur
gerry in the world, the Edwin Smith
Medical Papyrus of 1900 b. C.
The discovery, made by Professor
James II. Breasted, was announced
today by Alexander j. Wall, librar-
ians of the New York Historical So
ciety.
The passage on ~rejuvenation was
written on the back of the papyrus,
evidently by one of the quacks who
infested yer the ancient medical
profession.
DR.. Breasted has not as yet de-
ciphered its details because he has
devoted most of his work t the
main text which he considers the
work. of "a truly scientific man with
an amazing knowledge of real medi-
cine"
One passage reveals hat the au-
thor knew that paralysis of one side
of the body was caused by a brain
affection of the other side-a fact
lost for than 1000 years and
r~ediscovered in modern times.
