President Wit hon fa'vors halng the Monroe Doctrine upcclflcnlly rescped In the leaEUe-of-na-tlons cocnant, but Its Inclusion may en. dancer the rat Ira leacuo Drouosltlon because of special concessions demanded ty other nations, said Senator Hitch cock, retiring chairman of tho Foreign relations Committee of the Senate, jes terday. In discussing Ellhu Hoot's state ment suggesting amendments to the pro posed constitution of tho league. "SpeaUIne first of tho Monroo Doc trine, I am frank to say I should bo glad to see It specifically rcserxed If It coum be," said senator HltchcocK. "i am satisfied also that President Wilson ha3 tho same preference. I would not bo willing, howecr, to Insist on It at tho expense of losing or endangering tho leacuo. Nor would I bo willing to agree to some of the special concessions other nations hao been asking for as a trade to incorporate tho Monroo Doctrlno In tho league" Ho took Issue Tilth Mr. noot on tho lattrr'a assertion that "to ratify tho Kgreemcnt as It now stands woilld Itself bo a surrender of tho Monroo Doctrine," since "to submit tho policy of tho Mon roo Doctrlno to a, council composed chiefly of European powers 13 to sur render it," Senator Hitchcock asserted tho pro posed constitution of tho lcaguo "goes further than tho Monroo Doctrine and Is designed to prcent nations from making forclblo aggressions anywhere. Mr. Hoot's suggested amendment es tablishing nn International tribunal for tho trial of disputes betwjen nations, similar to Tho Hague convention, would add to the difficulties of securing rati fication." said Senator Hitchcock. Senator Borah. Hcpubllcan, of Idaho. ho has been on the stump throughout tho country opposing tho league. In dorsed Mr. Hoot's statement and espe cially Mr. Hoofs demand that the Mon roe Doctrlno bo specifically reserved In tho league covenant. Other Senators declined to comment on Mr. Hoot's , state ment, saying they preferred to wait un til tho amended draft of tho league con tltutlon Is published In Paris. "Anything said by Mr. Root on this ..t?Sr I- .ii.rt t tho highest con sideration." said Senator Wtchcoefc. "He hag for years been recognized as one of tho leading advocates of the peaceful settlements International I 1 sputes and ho, -has contributed largely to tho ad vancement of tho cause of al"' " Is a lawyer, a great lawyer, and his trend of thought, therefore. Is !""' rectlon of court proceedings. Ho Is in favor of establishing an international tribunal for the trial of disputes be tween nations, even those Including 'na iS honor' and Mtal Interests.' pro vldlng they aro justiciable In character and making the decisions binding. Qnesllon of Ilonor "This is the subject of his first pro posed amendment. In my opinion if this amendment were incorporated In the leaguo constitution it would add to the difficulties of securing ratification. -The Senato has never een willing to arbi trate "'disputes involving national honor andvHaO-JnUrestSps It has specifically excluded them. They nave been regarded as proper subjects for an 'Inquiry' and report' as is provided In tho league con stitution shall be made by the executive council, but not safo to entrust to a tribunal with power to enter a binding decree. "I can well imagine tho stortn of ob jections to this amendment in the .Senate from those who fear the United States may go too far in binding Itself In advance to accept tho decisions of 'foreigners,' as some Senators have ex pressed it. Nor do I think that other nations will care to go any further than we ore willing to go In the direction of agreeing In advatico to submit questions Involving national honor and vital In terests to the final decision of an Inter national court. The proposition really contemplates, though Mr. Hoot does not propose It, equipping tho leaguo or the court wan military or naval powers to force tho decreo If necessary. "This certainly Is'golng too fnst. Bet ter fnr, In my opinion, is the league pro vision. Should IHIdr Amenttment "As to Mr. Hoot's proposed amendment reserving tho Monroo Doctrine and American questions (Including Immigra tion), it should, in my on n on. first of a I be divided. The Monroo Doctrine? Is ono of American International policies and the Immigration question Is one of domestic policy. The immigration question Is no more American than It Is Canadian or Australian or British. I,ct us divide them then In any covenant. "Tho Monroo Doctrlno prohibits any natlen of tho old world from making rorcimo aggressions against any nation on the western hemisphere. The leaguo of nations goe further, and Is designed to prevent nations from making forcible aggressions anywhere, cither In tho west i-.i .iiiiioiiiiuio ur uiij uero else, it mo league or nations nau Been in exlstcnco 100 lears aco the declaration jot tho Monroe Doctrlno would not have been necessary. Tho lenguo of nations agreement Is a compromise between four teen nations. Wo cannot have every thing exactly as wo want It. "Hxelude Domeitlc Question" "As to Mr. Hoot's proposition that questions of a domestic character, like Immigration, should be definitely ex cluded from leaguo Jurisdiction, I ngree with him, although not with tho wording of his amendment. I am quite certain that only International questions can bo considered; but that matter can easily be made" clear and I believe It will be. "As to Mr. Hoot's other proposed amendments, they seem to me of les-s Importance, affecting as they do chiefly tne future ucvclopment of tho league, matters of proccduro and withdrawal of the members. "I am glad to nolo his Indorsement and approval of Article 10. which cer tain Senntors have attacked so furious ly. Ho proposes to It nn amendment which docs not seriously weaken the article. It simply reserves to each mem ber nation tfie right to withdraw after fivo years from the obligation to assist In preserving the political Independence and territorial Integrity of other nations This withdrawal calls for a year s notice. There Is no reason to think that after fivo j cars' operation there would be withdrawals."

Food waste, i allowed to .accumulate, stagnates and gives rise to poisonous mat ter. This, if allowed to be absorbed into the blood, produces 90 of the dis- case that attacks mankind, from a transient neuralgia to a permanent hardening1 of the arteries. BrightV disease, lier trouble, heart enlargement, high blood pressure, skin affections, rheumatism, in somnia, nervous exhaustion, mental affections, all may be caused by such self-poisoning, the warning of which is obstinate or habitual constipation. Nor is it' safe or sufficient to take castor oil, pills, salts, mineral waters, etc., in the effort to force the bowels to move. Not only will the constipation grow worse with the continuance of such remedies, but the dose must be constantly in creased with an ever weakening effect. But Nujol acts differently and successfully. Nujol is not a drug docs not act like any drug. Nujol brings about thorough and natural bowel evacua tion, at regular intervals, be cause it helps Nature to re store and) to' main tain the proper mechanism by which body waste is removed and its stagnation prevented.
