Despite here nnd there u oto of
criticism and a disposition to aw nit his
discussion ot details before pasalng final
Judgment on his lews, the newspapers
of tho United States today spoke gen
erally In approvat of President Wll
aon's address In Boston jestcrday asMng
support for the league ot nations.
Among theso editorial expressions wcro
tho following:
New York World "Thus far tho op
1! JXosltlon to the leaguo of nations In the
unuea Males, nnu particularly in m
Senate, has been a counsel of cowardice.
Xo critic of tho leaguo of nations has
advanced any plan of his own by which
tho peace that ends this war ran bo
guaranteed. Xot olio of them holds out
tha smallest measure of hopo to a
civilization wounded almost to death.
They leao tho world weltering In Its
own blood and tell tho afflicted peoples
to heal themsehes as best they can "
New York Tribune "In the generall
ties and aspiration expressed by tho
President, although their tenor does not
differ essentially from his prelous ut
terances, It Is possible to catch. It seems,
a little more appreciation of realities.
"There Is a happy nbtenco of any echo
of the doctrlno sedulously preached by
distrust breeders that tho Huropeans arc
a selfish lot and need careful watching.
'The practical aspects of the peace
problems' the 1'resldent did not discuss "

Ncccssnry
Washington, Feb. 25, (By A. P.) It
will cost tho American peoplo about
1. 200,000,000 a year for the next tnen-ty-flvo
years to pay off tho war debt,
according to estimates of the Treasury,
based on Incomplete knowledge of
precisely what tho final war debt will
be.
This calculation Is made 'on tho as
sumption tho net war debt, with de
ductions for loans to tho Allies, will
be about 118,000,000,000 Interest on
this amount, Rt tho rate of 4U per cent,
would bo J7CG, 000.000 a year, to be
raised by taxes and then repaid to
bondholders. In addition, about J417,
000,000 would have to bo provided every
j ear as a sinking fund to redeem all
bonds In twcnty-flve years.
This would require a cumulative
sinking fund provision of 2.32 per cont.
Congress has not yet authorized es
tablishment of a filnkhig fund, as recom
mended by Secretary Glass.
Treasury officials assert that If (his
authorization Is given, bonds might bo
bought up on tho market each year or

It follows him instinctively und it

Hopper
of a concrete mixer has a good appetite and a great
capacity at the top.
But all that goes into it must pass easily through the
narrow outlet at the bottom. If the man on the job goes
away and leaves the mixture to harden in the hopper
he gets fired that's all.
And the machine is put out of working order for a time.
It's easy for you to satisfy your appetite with food. But
if you neglect yourself, and the food waste dries out,
hardens and stagnates in your lower bowel if you be
come constipated your body machinery will suffer; and
if you try to get rid of the mass by taking castor oil, pills,
salts, mineral waters, etc., to force the bowels to move,
you will only make matters worse.
You can't fire yourself for neglect. And you can't cure
constipation by forming the habit of taking medicine
every time you want your bowels to move. But you can
overcome the trouble by taking Nujol.
Nujol brings about the habit of easy, thorough bowel evacuation at
regular intervals, because Nujol is not a diug.doet not act like any drug.
Nujol brings about a return to Nature's methods by supplying
necessary lubrication of the bowel contents, by facilitating intestinal
muscular action, by absorbing poisonous matter, and thus securing
necesssary, cleansing of the intestinal canal,
Nujol makes you regular as clockwork use it, and you'll not have to
worry about the size of your appetite or the ability of your body
machine to get rid of dangerous food waste.
Get a bottle of Nujol from your druggist today, and send for free
booklet "Thirty Feet of Danger."
Wsiirvi'it.i rt Nujol is sold only in sealed
tr Umillg. bottles bearing the Nujol
Trade Mark. At all druggists. Insist on Nujol.
