W. Tnmklii, rector nf the llo'v Trin
ity, Clnirch. Doctor Toinkins wns
examined nt n secret session 'nst night.
Tvhlrli continued until miilnlcht. He
called Warden McKentv "one of the
crentest prison exeeiitives in the coun
trythe Thomas Molt O.hornc of
Pennsylvania," ,
Social woikers, former prisoners ami
others have recused the warden of
mismanagement. Mr. McKenty was
before the investigating hoard last
night for n Ions time. A number of
other witnesses were heard.
At thr-closc of last ni'jht's session
TihIkc "Isaac Johnson, of Media, chair
man of the public charities board, and
other members refused to tell what in
formation had been obtained.
Warden McKentv said be was for
bidden to talk. Witnesses called befoic
the hoard said that thev were not
permitted to hear one another.
One of the few who were willing to
talk after leaving the room used by
the investigators nt the prison was
Doctor Tomkins. He is nn ardent sup
porter of the warden, nnd expressed
himself in no uncertain terms. "For
twenty 5 ears." lie said. "I and some nf
my parishioners, prison visitors, have
known Warden McKenty. and consider
him one of the greatest prison execu
tives of the country the Thomas Mott
Osborne of Pennsjivanla. The chnrRcs
against him. whatever they nre, for
the anonymous ninkcr refuses to come
out in the open. I know are absurd nnd
will fall through. The whole thing. 1
'have reason to believe, is a despicable
plot to discredit a grent man, nnd 1
know who is behind it and hope he gets
his just deserts."
The largest delegation of pro-Mc-Kcnty
witnesses were the president nnd
members of the Catholic Society for
Visiting Catholic Prisoners, who ex
pressed admiration for the warden as
hearty as was that of the HpWcnpnlinn
divine. A number of other clergjmeu,
coming out. refused to tell what they
had testified.

The Modern Medical Idea
' Sickness Prevention
Back in 1796, when he developed the vaccine treatment to
combat smallpox, Kdward Jenner helped to tart the trend
of medical thought in the new direction of Sicineu Prevention.
Today anti-toxins, serums, vaccines and sanitation all
these check disease before it can cain hold. Jiut constipa
tion still remains one of the most devastating; of all plagues,
because by reducing the body's power of resistance it males
it an easy tictini of eety and any disorder.
Leading; medical authorities agree that 90 J of disease has its
origin in the intestinal tract in constipation.
Your physician will tell you that pills, salts, castor oil,
mineral waters, etc., simply force the ejslein and weaken
the intestinal muscles
Nujol is entirely different.
Nujol prevents constipation because it softens the food waste
and encourjgrs the intestinal muscles to act natural).
Nujol helps Nature establish easy, thorough bowel evacua
tion at rrpular intervals the hcilthiest halyt in the world.
