Thirty Feet of Danger
The intestinal canal i an important pait of every
unlit iilual, important every inch of its thirty feet.
The upper portion of it U intended for the diges
tion of food and absorption of its useful portions.
But the lower part is concerned with the elimina
tion of waste material.
It is, in other words, the cicat sewer of the body.
Thu more food eaten, the sreater the waste. If
a sewer becomes closed up, its contents stasnate
and become more and more dangerous.
Constipation means more than failure to evacuate
the bowels regularly and thoroughly. It means
.stagnation, im teased fermentation, putrefaction
and germ action. JnciciM-d amounts of irritating
and poisonous substances are formed. Absorption
of these into the blood follows. Self-poisoning
results.
Danger, disorder, disease, or even death follow.
Pills, purgative mineral waters, castor oil, salts,'
etc , do not cure constipation or prevent its con
sequences. They make ir v. orc because they do
not only irritate the bovvels, but they "wear out"
in effect and so must be taken in increasing doses,
making constipation a habit.
But the Nujol Treatment for Constipation over
comes constipation by helping Nature re-establish
easy, daily, thorough bowel evacuation as "regular
as clockwork."
Nujol prevents stagnation and self-poisoning.
Nujol forms no habit, except a natural, healthy habit.
After Niiinl has trained the bowels to act, it can
be dispensed vv ith.

Why Uncle Sam
Turned Teetotaler
t
The unanimity with which our State Legislatures have hastened to ratify the Eighteenth
Amendment to the United States Constitution is a source of wonderment to many of our repre
sentative newspapers. Thus to the New York Tribune it seems "as if a sailing ship on a wind
less ocean were sweeping ahead, propelled by some invisible force," while the New York Times
explains the mystery by suggesting that "prohibition seems to be the fashion, just as drinking
used to be."
The nation-wide sweep of anti-liquor sentiment is accounted for by other well - known
publications in more positive terms. The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times declares that the abolition
of intoxicants is dictated by "the deliberate judgment" of the American people, and the Toledo
Hlade terms the movement "as remorseless as the rise of tides in the sea." yet the New York
World characterizes it as "a most emphatic denial of local self-government."

"The Digest" Gives You the Right News Perspective
It nut infrequently happens that reports of popular upris
ings, of grave decisions by the various great Powers, and
of other important events, printed in the newspapers of
one day have to be considerably modified on the next.
This is inevitable, in view of the haste with which such
news must be rushed to the presses. To obtain a really
accurate account of history in the making time must be
given for the verification of the facts, which often assume
a vastly different form when sicucd in their proper per
spective. Such a perspective, insuring the absolute rclia
bility ofthe details presented, is yours from week to week
