OF course you can understand why
this is so: we all of us have natural
poisons in our bodies that make us
feel headachy, sick, and low in our
minds. Nujol, which is as tasteless
and colorless as pure water, helps to
absorb these and carry them away,
easily, surely, regularly as clock work.
That's the wonderful thing about
Nujol. Although it is not medicine
and contains absolutely no drugs, its
harmless internal fabrication seems
to make people feel better and look
on the brighter side Of life, whether
they are old or young.
Instead of drugging and irritating
your body with pills, cathartics,
laxatives, and other habit-forming
drugs, give your body the internal
fabrication which it needs, just as
much as any other machine. After q

COTTON CROP

McALLEN, May 16-High tenn
peratures during the week which
went above 100 degrees Wednesday
Will add considerably to the
favorable outlook held for the 1880
cotton crop in the McAllen section,
according to ginners. and unless
unforeseen disaster from rain or
weevil occurs this section will gin
many bales over last years figure,
despite the decrease in acreage.
Hail and heavy rain which fell
in this territory last month served
TO make for a rank growth Of the
cotton stalks but not to an excessive
extent and it is believed that the
crop is not materially menaced on
that account.
The presence Of boil weevil In
small numbers is not considered
serious. for at this time last seasons
there were even more and poison
ing prevented any outbreak C the
pests at that time.
Ginning OF cotton here will start
about a week earlier this season
than last. ginners predicted.
