270 FINISH SHIP COURSE
Secretary of Labor's Son Is Training
for Supercargo
WnnhliiEtnn. .March It. (By A. P.)
James II, WII"oii, foii of the Scjretary
of Labor, lecently discharged from tho
army nftcr eight months of scrUce in
France, Is among those- enrolled In the
Fhlpplns board'H school for supercar
goes. To date, 20 hao been graduated
from the school, nnd of these 150 hae
been nsslgned to sea duly. More than
12,000 applications for tho position ot
supercargo baM- been filed since the
school opened early lii January.
POSSHSSKD of an e-.traagantly ex
pensive nightgown, fluth felt that
gnawing xlh that nearly oery woman
has at some time or other to bring the
lest of her wardrobo up to par. She
knew, too, that of the twenty dollars
she had to spend there were onlj about
six left Instead of convincing T'.uth
that she had been foolish It made her
rebellious. She could not understand
why she hadn't Jut as much tight to
the fripperies of life as Natalie Jergens
had. for Instance. H was not sensible,
of course, but it was a xery feminine
Mm point.
"If ou're finished here," raid Natalie,
as she received her change for one small
parcel and had tho rct charged and
sent. "I'm ready to look at suits, with
ou."
Ituth could think of nothing to say
at the moment, so up to the suit depart
ment thev were whirled and in a mo
ment were surrounded by obsequious
saleswomen.
"Something in suits'" queried the
blond woman who eventually captured
them and saw a delightful sale coming
her way.
Natalie looked expectantly at Ituth
"Yes," Ituth returned rlMuR to the
oalt. Somcthug In gray.''
After all, she reasoned, she had to
have a spring suit, nnd If It wero more
than Scott could afford, she could have
It charged to her mother and hae It
sent for the next day
Natnlle chattered ns they waited for
the suits to be brought, and then fluth
saw i the saleswoman comlnf back.
Thrre suits were over her arm In ary
Ins shades of gray one was of the exact
shade that Ruth wanted.
"O, my dear," raved Natalie, "look
at this onn with the cunning gray vest.
You ought to look sweet in tills"
"What's the price of this one?" asked
Ituth slipping her arms Into the coat
tho woman held up.
"Let me see, ' the woman said quickly,
pretending that tho cost meant nothing
at nil nnd hunting for the tag.
"NIncty-flve dollars," she said bland.
!-
Ituth, who was determined not to pay
anything bo outrageous for a suit no
matter what happened, shook her head.
"Nothing so expensive," she said try
ing to speak In an off-hand fashion. "I
don't wear a suit long and I wiuld
rather wait until later on In the season
and get a couple of handsome dresses."
Tho saleswoman lost Interest visibly,
nnd asked almost sharply.
About what price would ou want
to pay?"
"Not moro than n'ty, uuth returned
Tho saleswoman walked away and
Natalie turned to Ttuth quickly. "My
dear, ou simply won't be able to get
a thing at that price. I Know that a

couple of seasons ago it was possible, but
not now Why, there sn't a thing that's
fit to wear at lest than seventy-nve. 1
Know j,ou won't be satisfied with any
thing the brings "
And Ituth discovered , that Natalia
spoke the truth for the saleswoman re
turned with something very different
this time.
She spread over a chair that stood
near a dark blue suit and a dark brown
one. At Ruth's question a to tray she
shook her head.
"Nothlnr at alt in gray at that price,"
she said.
"What 's the price of this one?" asked
Ruth, taking up the coat ot the blue
suit
"Fifty-five."1 said the saleswoman,
standing aside fo that Ruth could see
herself In the mirror.
As Ruth looked at herself in the glass
she almost smiled. The only thing sue
could think of wa what Natalie had
bald a few minutes ago.
"There Isn't a thing fit to wear under
seventy-five dollars."
Ruth could see herself In a succes
sion of awful look'ng suits like this one
for seasons to come. The thought al
most brought tears to her eyes. Every
thing ahead looked black, the only thing
that would make any difference would
be Scott's success In business beyond
her wildest dtcams. But Ruth was too
sensible to drjiend on anything of that
kind. No matter how successful Scott
might bo ultimately In life, he would
never be a success financially, he simply
was not a business man, he didn't know
the first thing about making money.
If Ruth had needed pretty clothes
only because her friends woc.e them,
any one might have considered her small
indeed if she could not give up the
friends or keep up with them and wear
what she had, But Ruth needed pretty
clothes. To her they served as a back
ground, a setting, and she was at her
best when she was conscious that she
looked well. Ruth was one of those
women In whom the psychology of dress
was strongly developed. She wanted to
be as lovely at home for Scott and for
her own self-respect as ahe dd when
she was out among people. Ruth had
often suffered through an entire evening
because she renllzed that something of
minor Importance had happened to take
away from the general tout ensemble of
her appearance. Scott had often laughed
at her for th'nga he considered unim
portant, such as the laundry not coming
home on tlmo or the cleaner's failure to
send home a dress that she had wanted
to wear. To Scott anything else would
have done ns well, bu Ruth having plan
ned on wearing that certain dress, would
be miserable tho whrle evening.

HELP!
You may be able to defend yourself from a frontal
atluck, but how about it if you are held up from
the rear?
Your body has to fight constantly against disease.
It isn't always a fair fight, because constipation is
a treacherous enemy that you usually don't re
cognize until too late.
Stagnating, poison-forming food waste in your
large intestines, helps disease to attack you and
hinders you from defending yourself. Such self
poisoning causes over 90$ of human illnesi. ,
You may be held fast for months in the grip of
constipation, trying vainly to free yourself by
taking castor oil, pills, salts, mineral waters, etc.,
" in order to force the bowels to move. Not only
will the constipation grow worse with the con
tinuance of such remedies but you will be less
able to defend yourself against the attack when
it comes.
On the other hand, Nujol overcomes constipation
and brings about the habit of easy, thorough
bowel evacuation at regular intervals. It acts
gently and harmlessly, at all ages under any
conditions.
Take Nujol nnd constipation can't sneak up on
you and cripple you when you least expect it.
Get a bottle of Nujol from your druggist today
and write for free booklet "Thirty Feet of
Danger."
Xw 74M1 V-M ft Nujol is sold only in sealed

sonal appearance for him to risk get
ting inferior quality in the clothes he
buys. The best plan is to go to a store
where he knows that every coat and
suit he sees is pure wool, carefully tai
lored ; then he can't make an error in
judgment.
There's no chance for such an error
in the Down Stairs Store for men. The
clothes are right, the prices are right.
A man will have to search far and wide
to find clothes that will equal these new
Spring things. Here are fine, all-wool
suits of cheviots, cassimeres and wor
steds, high grade throughout, at prices
which range from $30 To 35. All the
style points of the season are here, and
the tailoring and cutting were done
after our own directions.
Spring suits with two pair of
trousers are ready in blue serges and
mixed cheviots at $32.50.
