Lexington, Ky.,, and drive out along

Hamburg Place, the farm of J. E.
Madden. Nestling in a little grove of
trees on this farm is what is thought
to be the only cemetery for horse cel-
ebrities in the world. Dominating the
grassy plot of ground of less than an
acre and enclosed by a stone wall
stands a statue of a horse. Upon the
foundation on which the statue stands
is this inscription, “Nancy Hanks

Appearance Adds Much
to Value of Property
I do not think, says a real estate
expert, writing In the Washington
Star, there is an owner of any kind
of goods who will get the same angle
on maintenance as do some property
owners, A storekeeper maintains his
place of business In the most attrac-
tive fashion and presents his stock In
such a way as to interest buyers. The
property owner in many cases ap-
pears to feel that it Is not necessary to
keep a property modern or maintain it
in good condition to either sell or rent
it. There are innumerable cuses that
could be cited wherein an expenditure
of a few property has
added a thousand dollars to its selling
price or greatly increased the return
from its rental. Persons buying or
renting real estate are influenced just

When your bowels need help, the mildest thing
that will do the work is always the sensible choice.
Take a laxative that a family doctor has used for all
sorts of cases of constipation. Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is so pleasant to the taste, so
gentle in its action, it 1s given children of tender
age and yet it is just as thorough and effective as
stronger preparations. Pure senna, and harmless
laxative herbs; ingredients that soon start a gentle
muscular action. Avoid a coated tongue, bad breath,
bilious headaches, etc. Every drug store has Dr.
Caldwell’s famous prescription in big bottles. Or
just write Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, Monticello,

‘Says Men Want Pals, Not
Patients!
YHE was engaged! She was the
happiest girl in the world.
A round of teas and parties, a
whirl of pleasure, and she began
to wonder what was the matter.
Too tired to go out—and he—
was he becoming tired of her?
It was at this point that Miss
Margaret Belden of Los Angeles
woke up to the fact that some-
thing had to be done about it.
“Men want pals, not patients”
she writes. “I went right to my
doctor. Do you know what he
said? Rest—and Nujol!
“With a prayer in my heart
and Nujol in my medicine
cabinet I began to fight back to
being the healthy, robust, happy
girl I had been before. Two months
passed. No more tears—no more
worrying, no more bad dreams, To-
day I beat him on the tennis court,
and although he can out-swim me,
I make him work doing it. It’s good
to be happy. It's good to be free,
physically, and be able to share, any
time, in sports or dancing or any-
thing else with the one you love!”
Here's another one who has learned
that the simplest and surest way to
be well and full of good spirits is to
clear the bodily poisons out of your
system regularly. Not with power-
ful drugs, but normally, naturally,
easily. Doctors and nurses recom-
mend such a natural treatment as
Nujol, because this crystal-clear
liquid isn’t 3 medicine at all! It can-
not harm even a little baby! It con-
tains absolutely no drugs. It is
simply internal lubrication that your
body needs like any other machine.
Good looks and good spirits—do
they spell popularity? You know
they do! Get a bottle of Nujol to-
night in any drug store. Sold in
sealed packages only—trademarked
“Nujol.” Insist on Nujol by name.
It costs but a few cents—and it will
make you feel like a million dollars.
