DIPLOMATS GRAVE
 FOUND IN POLAND
Barlow Died During NapoleOn's 1872 Campaign in Russia

Warsow. Nov. 27 LP,-Thc grave of Joel Barlow, one of the first American diplomatic representatives to Europe-he was minister 10 the government of Napoleon in 1S12- ha.; been found in a deserted little country church by the Polish Society for the Protection of Graves of War Heroes.
 Barlow accompanied the French emperor on his Moscow campaign in 1872, and after the defeat of Ma poleon tried 10 make his way through eastern Europe by sleigh. He contracted the typhoid that was ravaging the defeated army and died somcw here in Poland. But the de- tails of his death or the Where- aboutS of his grave have remained a mystery until the discovery by the Graves society.
 The records of the little church in ZarnOWicc in the county of Krakow revealed that the minister died De- Ccmbor 26, 1872. Tho death Certifi- cate in the church archicyes states that two witnesses, Jan Blask, post master and ldzi Bojerkicwicz, owner of small farm, made dispositions that Barlow "dicd in house number one while passing through Zarno- vice on his way 10 Warsaw.'
 The witnesses were unaware of the names of his parents but knew that he was the husband of Mar garot Baldwin and resident of an American town named Ridgefield.

 Sheriff Beach, looking a trifIc foolish. stared at the automatio, then. handling it with more care, removed the cartridges before slip ping it into his pocket.
 How soon can you get ready, Miss Prescott?'
 Obadiah Evans answered for her.
 'T'll go bail for Miss Prescott, Bill" he said with decision. I'm sood for #lo,oQo or more"
 "Tisnt for me to settle the amount Of hail,' the sheriff re- tcrted; that's the magistrates business. Besides, Obadiah, this isn't any ordinary offcnso-it's a killing."

 Peggy turned impulsivcIy to Oba- diah.
 How can I thank you--" "Don't get doWnheartcd." He almost whispered the words in her ear. then in louder key: Hustle along and get your wraps"
 When she . came downstairs ready for the ride, the sheriff led the way to his car after instructing his man Harris to guard the lodge. The sheriff motioncd 10 Peggy to sit by him, and Obadiah shared the back seat with Bvach's second as- sistant.
 They drove off toward Litchlield and made good time.

Courage Wins Happiness
 in Tough Battle
Nurse tells how even a broken leg can be forgotten if simple
 rule is followed

VOU would think a very old lady l laid up with broken thigh in a plaster cast would be a hard person to keep happy. Yet, according to Nurse Helen V. Griffin, 64 Pros- pect Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey, it can be done-if you know how. We may not have broken legs to make us sad, but we have other troubles many of which fly away when we follow this good advice.
 My patient,' says Miss Griffin, "being unable to move about by herself became very constipated. Many medicines in pill form were used with little or no results. Finally when we came home from the hospital 1 began the use of a tablespoonful of Nujol twice daily, later reducing to one day.
 Soon my patient became regular and comfortable, without any pain or discomfort. This of course gave her confidence in eating as much as her appetite required. Now she is happy and cheerful, since regularity has begun and continued with such little trouble. l could state many instances of excellent results from Nujol, but this is the most recent one."
 That's what happens when you learn this easy and simple way to good health. Nurse Griffin knew how harmless Nujol is, containing no drugs or medicine, but acting only as a natural lubricant. She knew how it keeps the excess of body
