Don't Poison Baby

Nursing mothers must avoid con stipation. Slow bowel movements allow poisons to form and be ab- sorbed by the blood. This means tainted milk for baby.
 Mothers are the best friends of Nujol. When precious new lives are at stake they use and give their babie, Nujol-the remedy medical authorities prescribe because it is so safe, so gentle, and so natural in ifs action.
 Constipation is dangerous for anybody. Nuiol is safe for every body. It does not affect the stom. ach and is not absorbed by the body.
 Nujol makes up for deficiency of natural lubricant in the intess tunes. It softens the waste matter and thus permits thorough and regular bowel movements without griping.
 Nujol can be taken for any length of time without ill effects. Unlike laxatives, it does not form a habit and can be discontinued at any time.
 Ask your druggist for Nujol.

LEADING TEAMS
OF The EAST LIKELY
TO BE DEFEATED

NEW YORK; Nov. 10 [P.-Football
prophets of the east today, for the first
time this year, saw defeat lurking on
Saturday for virtually every leading
team in the Atlantic coast section.
Predictions, : We're not to be made
lightly, either, for into the crucible of
conflict this week end will be poured
the aspirations. of four leaders in the
fight for gridiron supremacy-Army,
Notre Dame, Navy and Brown-records
of three other Anbeaten teams, N. Y. u,
Boston: college5 and Haskell Indians,
and the "Big Three championship.
Dull and falteFing pencils, their, output
CLEANED largely from the seasons per
formances, d NEVERTHELESS checked off
Princeton as having the call over Yale,
Army over Notre Dame, Navy over
Georgetown, Pennsylvania over CO.
lunhia, Brown, over Harvard and New
York university over Davis -Elkins.
At least four. other games appear as
toss-ups. They are Cornell and Dart
mouth, Colgate, and Syracuse, Boston
college, and Haskell Indians, Pitts
burgh and Washington Jefferson.
Critics base their confidence in Army
on the Cadets decisive victory over
Rockne's eleven of 1925, pointing to the
fact that the soldier team will have
virtually the same stars with addi-
tional seasoning that won so easily a
year ago.
Anticipated 31oss of Kline, veteran
Yale back, as a result of the death of
his mother, would weaken the Blues
hope of stopping Princeton's march
to it's second big Three" title, OBJ
servers believe. But they pointed out
that Coach Tad Jones has spared his
regulars from rigorous play the last
two, weeks in order to send his most
formidable array against Slagle and
company.
Navy.s impressive string of victories
over Purdue, Drake, Princeton, Colgate
and Michigan is accepted as justifying
prediction of another triumph Satur
day against Georgetown, but critics see
serious threat to the Middies' record
in the Hill Toppers' unexpected tri-
umph last week over Syracuse.

RETURNING DELEGATE
TELLS OF CONVENTION
HELD In PHILADELPHIA

The Smoki Indians from Prescott
were the outstanding feature of the
American Legion and auxiliary cen
ventions held in Philadelphia Ocro-
Der 11-16, according to the Douglas
delegates, who have just returned.
Mrs. r. L Hoyal, delegate from the
Fred Hilburn post auxiliary, and n@-
tional Legislative chairman, returned
to Douglas Tuesday, and Myer Sto-
laroff and Sam Klein, delegates from
the local American Legion, returned
earlier in the week.
Mrs. FoyaI stated that the Smilo
dancers drew more attention than
any other feature of the convention,
and their efforts to secure snakes
with which to carry out their famous
snake dance, was featured by all the
newspapers. StoIaroff states that the
colors of the Douglas American Lee
gion post were the only colors from
Arizona displayed at the conYen-
tion. -
The Arizona contingent was the
only one that was permitted to dis
tribute literature at the convention,
This was permitted because the lit
erature carried certain amount of
historical data pertaining to thei
Smoki Indians. But the folders also
contained much Information concern
ing Arizona that had real adVertis-
ing value for the state. Mrs. Hoyal
also distributed a great number of
the folders issued by the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce and Min4s
while in the east.
Six Arizona women attended the
auxiliary convention as delegates, the
other five being Mrs. w. N, Foreman,
of Yuma, state president; Mrs. M. y.

BIG TEN TEAMS
/. SET FOR GAMES,
DESPITE COLD

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 R.-Big Ten
teams galloped through the weeks
last scrimmages tonight on icy grid
irons and announced themselves ready
for Saturdays combats.
Michigan's squad entrained for Ohio
State with conservative confidence,
feeling in the best condition of the
season but aware that the. Buckeye
backfield is as good as it's own and
that the. fight for the conference title
will require the best football of the
year to win.
Northwestern wound up its training
for Chicago and vowed to break the
string of Maroon victories which have
been consecutive since Paddy Driscolls
day at the Wildcat school. Iowa took
its last workout for the Wisconsin
game at Madison, polishing plays with
which it hopes to win. Both schools
have had dismal season and want to
win Saturdays engagement as much as
though they were still undefeated.
Rockne set out for New York with
his Notre Dame team, chafing at his
failure to get in a strenuous scrim-
mage last night before departure. Use
coach appeared to be on the verge of
predicting defeat at the Army's hands,
and Notre Dame followers thought that
if Knute would only say his team
would lose, il would be sure to win.
But he made no predictions. His team
is in good shape, but the coach pro-
fesses no notion of what it may do or
fail to do against the strong cadets.
