Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.
Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent Injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way—a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat-
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nnjol most
closely resembles that of Nature’s own
lubricant. As Nujol Is not a laxative
it cannot gripe. It is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water it la
harmless and pleasant.
Nnjol Is prescribed by physicians;
used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle

SWAMP-ROOT FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS
There is only one medicine that reaily
stands out pre-eminent as a medicine for
curable ailments of the kidneys, liver and
bladder.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root stands the
highest for the reason that it has proven
to be just the remedy needed in thousands
upon thousands of distressing cases.
Swamp-Root makes friends quickly be-
cause its mild and immediate effect is
soon realized in most cases. It is a gen-
tle, healing vegetable compound.
Start treatment at once. Sold at all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.

4 Christmas
^ F.H.Sweet
10 M M Y Dodd, “Impulse
Dodd,” cattleman, was in
jj Chicago, with his big sale
over. And even in Chlca-
n S°» where sight-seeing cat-
fef tlemen were common, Im-
pulse Dodd was a no-
ticeable figure, with his six feet odd,
free money ways, and almost perpet-
ual smile.
He paused in front of a small, nar-
row store, whose one window was full
of toys. Inside, the counter and
shelves were paceked with the same
kind of goods.
“Just Santa,” said Impulse, aloud.
“B’lieve Til go in.”
He closed his fingers tightly and
pushed open the door with his thumb,
stiffly extended.
“Put In his thumb,” he grinned, “and
—does he pull out a plum?”
In the shop were two men, the one
In front of the counter loud-voiced
and threatening. “Well,” this one was
finishing, as Impulse entered, “I’ll give
you just two more days to meet your
bill, till the day after Christmas. If
you don’t pay me in full then, I will
take possession.”
As the man stalked out, Impulse
raised his right foot and swung it
back and forth though tfulljv
“Can I show you anything, sir?” he
asked a moment later, as Impulse
turned to the counter with a half-re-
gretful frown on his face, adding:
“It’s just as well you didn’t do it, sir.
He’s a very vindictive man.”
“That so? Then I sure wish I had.
I don’t generally hold back on things,
but this city’s getting me right scared.
I’ve reined up unusual the last three
days. Now 'bout the toys. That man’s
talk is so easy unraveled. I reckon
you'll sell cheap?”
“At almost your own price, sir.
There Is only this one day to sell, and
I can’t hope to do enough. I’ve seen
failure for a week past, though for a
while I dfd hope to come out In condi-
tion to start again. Now what can I
show you?”
“Well, not only one solitary thing in
particular, I reckon,” scanning the
shelves judicially. “They all look right
enticing, and what I didn'wbuy would
make me feel sorry to look at. What’ll
yon take for the bunch?”
The storekeeper moved along the
counter, trying to arrange his goods
more attractively.
“Look around all you want to,” he
said amiably. “And there is an easy
chair back yonder where you can sit
and rest, If you like.”
Impulse followed him.
‘No wonder you can’t sell, if you
treat all customers like me,” he com-
plained. “Now, see here,” slapping a
big roll of bills on the counter. “How
Too many men waste time arguing
about the religion they haven’t got.
time tne otner hana was coming from
his pocket with all the coins his fin-
gers could grasp. These were tossed
into the air. By the time they had
ceased jingling on the sidewalk, fifty
more or less grimy little hands were
clutching for them.
“Now, you bunch,” called Impulse,,
“just listen to me for a minute. Who’s
the most no ’count boy in this neigh-
borhood?”
“Crawfish Bobby,” answered a voice
promptly. “He never stands treat, an’
carries every cent home to his ma-a-a.”
“And the most unpopular girl?”
There was a short silence, then
several of the boys tittered.
“Raggy Sally," said one of them.
“She’s Peanut Seller Bet’s girl, an’
when we boys throw mud she fights
like a wildcat."
“And gives all of you a mighty good
drubbing, I hope," commented Im-
pulse. “Now, boys, the two who bring
Crawfish Bobby and Raggy sally to
me get a four-bit piece each, and tell
them they’ll get another for coming.
Now, the lot of you come back, for the
show isn’t half over.”
Ten minutes later, Crawfish Bobby
and Raggy Sally stood in front of him.
Impulse placed a hand upon a shoul-
der of each.
“These two are going to be little
Santas and give you all a right nice

much? Remember there’s only one day
for selling Santa stuff,
“Do you mean business?” asked the
shopkeeper, a sudden husklness coming
Into his voice.
“How much?”
“Fifteen hundred, If you mean the
cost. But I warn you it’s too late to
sell much—”
“Oh, I’m sure a hustler down home,”
cheerfully, “and I’ve a hunch I can
move Santa goods toler’ble brisk the
day before the day. Now let’s see,
fifteen, with a fair per cent for profit
and a little for good will makes It Just
two thousand. There you are,” peel-
ing off another bill or two, and then
replacing the roll In his pocket. “Now
you’ve got to throw In your services
as clerk for the rest of the day.”
“But I can’t—” began the dazed
shopkeeper. But Impulse was at the
door.
“Back right soon,” he called. "Be
getting the goods ready to handle
quick.”
Outside, Impulse glanced up and
down the street. Half a dozen urchins
were playing on the sidewalk, two or
three were hanging behind a dray, a
newsboy was crying his papers. Other
youngsters were dimly seen among
pedestrians and street vehicles. Im-
pulse put two fingers Into his mouth
and blew a blast that would cover a
mile on the prairie. At the same
present by and by,” be called to the
rapidly increasing crowd of urchins.
“Mind, you’ll owe It in part to them.
Now stampede into the streets and
alleys of the neighborhood and corral
every boy and girl you ean find, and
bring 'em here. Just an hour from
now this store’ll commence to give
ont presents, and you’ll all get one.
Nobody wlB be missed. Hit the street
now, the whole lot of you except these
two”
In an bow, the door was thrown
open and the rush began, with half a
thousand whooping youngsters to make
the assault. It was short work, the
pillaging of the store, and in forty
minutes all was over. And then, just
as the hilarious present bearers were
scattering Into every street and alley,
an automobile swerved out from the
street traffic and stopped at the curb.
In it were an old gentleman and a
lady and several girls. The gentleman
motioned some of the urchins to the
side of the car, where they were ques-
tioned as,to the extraordinary spec-
tacle. Then a few words passed be-
tween the occupants of the car, after
which one of the girls alighted and
came to the store. Crawfish Bobby
and Raggy Sally were just outside the
door, with their arms full.
“You’re the little Santa’s,” smiled
the young lady, as she took their
hands, “and I just know yon had a big
time.” Then she entered the store and
went straight to Impulse.
“Mr. Santa Claus, I believe, sir?”
she began.
“Why—er—no,” stammered Impulse,
turning red, “only—er—Just as a sort
of advance agent, named Impulse—I
mean Tommy Dodd.
The girl broke into a ringing laugh.
“Impulse! I like that,” she cried.
Now, Impulse Dodd, have you any
definite arrangement for the Christmas
holidays—any binding engagement, I
mean?”
N-o-o, nothing except to tramp side-
walks and say ‘Howdy’ to every
stranger who’ll let me.”
“Good! Then there’s nothing in the
way of our Invitation. You see, we’re
having a houseful of company for th«
holiday week, and papa and mamma
suggested that I ask you. Papa owns
a ranch out West, ana he says he
knows how a stranger must feel in a
city at Christmas time, and he thinks
a naan who can do what you’ve Just
done will certainly be an acquisition to
our party. And I may add we all feel
the same way. You’ll come? There is
room In our machine.”
Impulse nodded. He lacked words
fitting to the occasion. A week at a
house party! Gee! wouldn't that he
stuff to tell the boys at the ranch.
Start back the day after Christmas?
Who? He? No,*siree! That would be
rank foolishness. Not till the last gun
was fired.
So he walked out to the automobile
with the girl, with never a thought of
the emptied store behind, or of the
beaming, misty-eyed man who could
now stock up again without the bale-
ful skeleton of a creditor to glare at
him over the goods. And as Dodd en-
WARSHIP LIMITATION
BEINGNEGOTIATED
Kelley Asknowledges Naval Reduc-
tion Plans Have Brought No
>, Results.
Washington. — President Harding,
according to a statement made in
the House “has been engaged for
several months” with the question
of negotiating with the big powers
abroad relative to limiting the con-
struction of warships under 10,000
tons which he is prepared to do,
under a provision of the naval supply
bill.
This information as to the report-
ed attitude of the President was
given by Representative Lineberger
(Rep.), California, during a brief
flurry of debate while Chairman
Kelley of the subcommittee, in charge
of the measure, was seeking to ex-
plain the reasons for the request, it
was, admittedly, a surprise to the
committee winch had not consulted
the President prior to presentation
of the bill.
Mr. Kelley had just declared that
while the arms conference had af-
forded a net saving of $128,000,000,
the general staff of the navy had
recommended a projected program
under the 10,000-ton limitation en-
tailing the expenditure of $331,000,000
when Mr. Lineberger interrupted.
“The gentleman is requesting the
President of the United States to do
knows that , he has been engaged in
doing for several months past,” said
Mr. Lineberger. “WouM it not be
much better verbiage to avprove
that which the President is now
doing rather than to request him to
do something that he has been doing
for months.”
Mr. Kelley said he was not inter-
ested in the language of the request
as set forth in the bill, at the same
time expressing the hope that the
Californian agreed with the idea.
“I do agree with yon in princi-
ples,” he replied.
Many questions were directed at
Mr. Kelley as to what the otter Na-
tions had done in the matter of
naval redactions.
“I do not think any Nation has
undertaken to destroy any of Its
ships, although Great Britain pos-
sibly has scrapped some of its old
ships, which she had already begun
to scrap before the conference,” he
said.
“In other words, there have been
no results thus far?” asked Repre-
sentative London (Soc.). New York,
and Mr. Kelley answered “Not”
DAUGHERTY HEARING
COVERS WIDE RANGE i
emus TO HAVE
he* rasioracE
Compers Admits as Much to Houst
Committee Hearing Charges
Against Attorney General.
Washington.—Hearings before the
House Judiciary Committee on im-
peachment charges against Attorney
General Daugherty took on an aspect
somewhat like that of a trial and
defense of William J. Burns, direc-
tor of the Bureau of Investigation
of the Department of Justice. Wit-
nesses included Mr. Bums, Senator
Johnson of California, former At-
torney General Wicfeersham and
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Testimony during the three ses-
sions—morning, afternoon and night
—covered a wide range, beginning
with the Oregon land fraud trials in
1905 and running through the arrest
and confession of the McNamara
brothers in the dynamiting of the
Los Angeles Times Building and
events of more recent date.
Numbered among these was the
political feud which developed be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt in 1912
and the assistance which the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is render-
ing Representative Keller (Rep.),
Minnesota, in the resentation of some
of his charges against Mr. Daugherty.
Mr. Baras, whose alleged activities
in connection with the drawing of a
jury for the trial of Willard N. Jones
in the Oregon fraud cases was the
principal subject of the evidence sub-
mitted at the opening of the hearings
was called to the stand by Paul How-
land, personal attorney for Mr.
Daugherty. He not only denied in
general and in considerable detail
that there was anything improper in
his conduct as a Government agent
in Oregon under Francis J. Wenri,
but asserted that President Taft, in
granting a pardon to Jones had been
“deceived” and that Jones bad “paid
for” the pardon.

TURKS TURN DOWN
TWO PROPOSITIONS
$1,000,000 Substation to Be Erected
Near Union TerminaL
Dallas, Texas.—Definite action is
expected at an early date on the
new $1,000,000 subpostoffice vo be
erected in the near future near the
Union Terminal to replace the Jack-
son street station, Postmaster John
W. Philp said following advise from
Washington that the postal facilities
of Dallas was one of the six situa-
tions presented to the joint commis-
sion on postal service of Congress
by Postmaster General Work, as de-
manding an increase to meet the
growing postal business.
Mr. Philp said three sites are being
considered for the building, the
block south of Ferris Plaza facing
the park, the block east of Ferris
Plaza facing the park, formerly oc-
cupied by the Farmers’ Alliance
Building, which was destroyed by
fire on Sept 2, and the block now
occupied by the Jackson street sta-
tion and two other buildings.
Local firms have options on these
strips, according to Mr. Philp, who
said the options will be surrendered
to the Government in case the Post-
office Department decides to erect
the building, otherwise the building
will be erected by local firms and
leased to the Government for twenty
years.
Reject Reservation For Armenians
and League. Memberships
Lausanne.—Insistence of the allies
on one of Woodrow Wilson's famous
fourteen points—a national home lor
the Armenians—threatens to wreck
the Near Eastern peace conference.
Ismet Pasha, Turk representative,
flatly turned down these two de-
mands of Lord Curzon, British Min-
ister and spokesman, for the en teats:
1. That the Moslem Nation set
aside a part of their country in which
all the Armenians may reside.
2. That Turkey join the League jf
Nations, commissioners of which shall
live among the Armenians and other
Christian minorities to safeguard
their rights.
“If we are forced to abandon the
conference,” Curzon told Ismet, “the
Turkish delegate may get the sup-
port of the Angora Assembly, but not
from the remainder of the world.”
Curzon then stated that it was
peculiar that Turkey refused to put
her minorities in the keeping of the
league, when France and Britain,
two of the greatest colonial powers
of the world, were not afraid of
control by the league. Then Curzon
gave the reason why the entente
nations do not distrust the league.
“Because our hands are clean,” he
stated.
Ismet overwhelmed by the blunt-
ness of the British Foreign Minister,
asked for a recess so that Turkey
could reframe her reply.
