iiiiich stress has been laid on the
supposed ignorance of the German
ponple on the war situation. That

particularly true of San Xavier del

' more beautiful than the missions of
California. San Xavier del Bac has
a farther charm in the fact that it
stands today doing the same work
among the same people whom it was
built to serve 220 years ago.
Founded in 11192, the mission was
conducted continuously by resident
Jesuits until 1751, then for a few
?ears it wus administered as a visita
rora Tubac, and in 1707, following
the Spanish expulsion of .the Jesuits,
was turned over to tho Franciscans.
This order continued the work of the
mission until 1827, when Mexico ex
pelled all the religious orders, but it
was ministered to Intermittently
from Mngdalena, although practical
ly abandoned. Following the Gads
den purchase in 1854, the mission
came into the diocese of Santa Fe,

of the olectrlc current over the ra

entof In command can keep his
finger nt all times on the pulse or

fronts, with reserve stations and
supply depots, without leaving his
office chair. Contrns: this with
conditions during some historic en
gagements In which a battlo was
lost because a division commander
could not bo reached by messen

Some of the heroes of this war
are the linemen who carry t lie

Thirty Feet of Danger
The intestinal canal is an important part of every
individual, important every inch of its thirty feet. .
The upper portion of it is intended for the diges
tion of food and absorption of its useful portions.
But tire lower part is concerned with the elimina
tion of waste material. 1
It is, in other words, the great sewer of the body,
i i ..The nione food eaten, the greater the waste. If . .
a sewer becomes clocijcd up, its contents stagnate
and become more and more dangerous. .
Constipation 'means more than failure to evacuate
the bowels regularly and thoroughly. It means
stagnation, increased fermentation, putrefaction
and germ, action. Increased amounts of irritating
and poisonous substances are formed. Absorption
of these into the blood follows: Self-poisoning
results.
Danger, disorder, disease, Or even death follow. ' '
Pills, purgative mineral waters, castor oil, salts,
etc., do not cure constipation or prevent its con
sequences. They make it worse because they do
ivt only irritate the bowels, but they "wear out"
in effect and so must be taken in increasing doses,
making constipation a habit.
But the Nujol Treatment for Constipation over
comes copstipation by helping Nature re-establish
easy, daily, thorough bowel evacuation as "regular
as clockwork."
Nujol prevents stagnation and self-poisoning.
Nujol forms no habit, except a natural, healthy habit.
After Nujol has trained the bowels to act, it can
be dispensed with. '
