ClOGGED BOWELS
EXACT THEIR PRICE

Don't imagine that you can shock
your system every few days with
Iaxatives and fail to pay the price.
Laxatives and purges rob the deli
cate membrane lining of your bow
els of moisture and elasticity, so that
YOU have to continue drugging more
and more to spur your reluctant
bowels to action. Almost before you
realize your peril, you're laxative
shave. Digestive troubles develop,
headaches, dizzy spells and bilious
ness follow. An operation for piles
or. other intestinal trouble may
result.
But you can free yourself from
laxative slavery and constipation
uuickly and easily with Cream OF
Nujol treatment.
This new form of Nujol is spe-
cially suited to sufferers from
chronic constipation. 1t soothes and
comforts the bowels, absorbs poi
sens, and helps the peristaltic action
which alone can dispose of wastes
naturally.
Start the new harmless Cream of
Nujol treatment tonight. 1t is deli
cious to take and costs you only a
few cents day.
:Stop at your druggists and get a
bottle tonight.

There have been many re-

out, we've found a group Of
them that look like just the
type to fill those needs. They
are the kind that will be sc.
lected by girls and women who
have been in the habit Of pay
ing much more, that are used
to good things, that insist on a
certain amount of quality and
workmanship, yet cannot afford
to pay so much now.
In Lovely COlOrS
The frocks are Of frisca, that
soft, almost silky woolen fab
ric that looks something like a
very fine basket weave. It has
a silk thread woven in evi-
IDENTIFY, because it has not only
a little sheen, but it has abso-
lutely no scratchineSs. The
colors are lovely, a soft West
Point blue. green, gold, beige,
gray and rust. The dresses are
made in several attractive
styles, and in sizes for both
women and misses. Some have
a scarf of silk, some have no
trimming, but are ornamented
by a bit of drawn work, and
others are simple and rather
tailored in the making. Per.
haps their best feature is that
they are a year-round sort Of
dress, wearable in winter, but
because they are not too hot,
and are in pastels and rather
light colors, may be worn in the
summer too.
Women or Misses
We've sketched one style for
women, with a scarf that is
faced with silk in contrasting
colors, and a neckline that may
be worn up or down. There's
a similar style with striped silk
scarf, and surplice closing. that
will be even more becoming to
women of larger proportions.
Then we've sketched frock in
misses sizes, with puffed
sleeves and other details that
show in the sketch. The but.
tons are in a contrasting color,
such as brown on rust, black
on blue, etc. The price is only
$40 for all sizes, although the
dresses are unusually well
made, and will fit well.

trary, their intellectual processes
function perfectly, only their

them.
Part of this is because no two
individuals are born alike, so
far as the emotional pattern Of
their character makeup is con-
cerned. Some of us have power
full, dynamic emotions; some
have quantitatively less emotion.
Part of the fault lies in our
earliest childhood training-the
fact that we have been spoiled,
or allowed to have our own way
too much.
But, whatever the cause, it
can and should be remedied. To
allow our emotional desires 10
sweep everything before them is
to court unhappineSs and fail
ure if not, indeed, a prison sent
ence. For, in the last analysis,
life is give and take; we owe
much to our fellow humans;
we cannot and dare not except
at our peril, ride rough-shod
over the rights, privileges and,
indeed, over those identical emo
tions in others to which we are
so eager tn accord full express
sion in ourselves.
Too much repression of our
feelings is also bad. Here again
reasoning should be allowed to
dictate; and it is especially in
teresting to note in this connec-
ton that the more we allow the
intellect to be a guide, the more
expert we become in permitting
the emotions just enough free
play-and no more.

He came over suddenly and
stood directly in front Of her,
with a queer, hungry look on his
face.
She forced herself to smile
again with an assumed bright
ness. "And few moments ago
you were staring at me as

Judith'S thought had immedi-
ately leapt to Loranda, to whom
Barry was engaged.
Her mind flew to those letters
of Loranda's she had never
opened, that were hidden now at
the bottom of her locked trunk.
It was within a hands reach of
where Barry was-the trunk
was camouflaged by a Spanish
shawl.

He raised his head that was
close to hers, and with his
handsome and unhappy eyes
looked deep into hers that were
wide with hope, and shock,
and joy, and a kind of fear
all mingled.

CHAPTER FIVE
Our case was the lead story,
OF course, but in the Journal it
yielded q fraction Of front
page prominence to another
killing. At half past five that
morning, over on the Grand
ConcourSe, a patrolman had
followed a lone and lettering
pedestrian who, according to
the officer, was behaving sus-
piciously, whatever that might
mean. When the policeman
qllickened his own pace the
other man betrayed a guilty
Consciousness by running. With
intent, as he claimed. to
frighten the fleeing one, the
policeman fired a couple OF
shots, purposely aiming high.
Bat it would appear he had not
aimed as high as he might
have, for a bullet had bored his
fugitive in the back of the
skull and killed him instantly.
Promptly the dead man had
been identified as .one "Deafy"
Keogh, alias Kennedy, alias
Kane, address unknown, but
having a long and a most un-
savory criminal record.

Interesting Bridge Hands
By E. V. SHEPARD
Subsequent Doubles

An ordinary informatory dou-
BILE comes when you have not
opened the auction and you
double an opposing bid. to ask
partner either to bid or to de-
feat the opposing contract. A
subsequent double is made when
you have opened the auction,
been overcalled. your partner
has not bid. and you double the
opposing bid as a demand that
your partner support your first
declaration, show his own best
suit, bid no trumps, or defeat
the doubled contract.
The subsequent double usually
denies two things: First. that
you have a second biddable suit,
unless it happens to be the one
adversely named: second. that
your suit is not long enough to
stand being obliged to ruff the
adverse suit unless partner has
four small trumps or three
headed by a high honor.
Suppose that you make an
opening bid of One Heart on
the first hand show below, Sec
ond hand bids One Spade. and
that your partner and fourth
hand pass, or in case your part
ner passes and fourth hand bids
Two Spades. You should en-
ploy the subsequent double.

The general rule for making
subsequent doubles is: When
rebid values lie chiefly in side
suits. rebid a good suit Of not
less than five cards in case an
opponent bids one of your
strong side suits: double in case
an opponent bids your weakest
side suit.
Sometimes a subsequent dou-
BILE is used for showing one or
two added biddable suits. as was
