DoYou Know The Fine Flavor "POST T0ASTIES IS FOUND IN NO OTHER CORN FLAKES ffcS2 MEPFORI), OKFiPX, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 191S FARMER SETS EE Jackson county has one patriotic citizen of whom her citizens can well feel proud. He Is J. W. Thompson, the well known sheep man In the An telopo district whoso patriotism is of the modest and practical kind. In accordance with his annual cus tom last fall Mr. Thompson bought his year's flour supply of from 1000 to 1000 pounds, from the Warner, Wortman & Gore grocery in this city. Learning recently of the govern ment's need for wheat and flour (or the allies, and that no more was to he sold, etc., lie decided at once to return all the unused flour beyond what was necessary for the Immedi ate future needs on his large ranch. Monday he returned to Warner, Wortman & Gore eight sacks of flour,' about 400 pounds, with the naive re mark, "I need this flonr but some one olse needs It worse." He was given a receipt for the flour which will he turned over to the food administra tion. He had returned the eight sacks wrapped carefully with canvas so that the bags would not get dirty In being brot to the city. Furthermore, Mr. Thompson care fully went over his stock of corn picked out all tho milling corn and took it to the mill at Haute Point where he had it ground up for use us a flour substitute on the fifty-fifty basis. His return of the flour was purely voluntary, as having purchas ed It last fall he was entitled to Its use. Mr. Thompson's act Is especially refreshing in view of the reports reaching the authorities the past few days of a number of cases where large quantities of flour are being conccalod ana hoarded. , These cases are now under investigation. The eight returned sucks are on exhlbl Hon In the Warner, Wortman &. Gore show window.

Nujol Laboratories, Standard Oil Company, (New Jersey), Bayonne, New Jersey. Dear Sirs : I take pleasure in advising you that the relief I have ob tained from the use of Nujol is far more than what is ordinarily termed "satisfactory." . . For years before sending you my order for a trial bottle of ' Nujol I habitually used destructive "pink pills" due to the fact that through lack of proper exercise I was continually constipated and a sufferer from other ailments known to result only from irregular bowel-action. I have taken three bottles of Nujol, and ever since I finished. the first bottle my bowel action has been as tegular as the rising sun, and my general physical condition is now as good as can be wished for. In my opinion Nujol is a scientific cure for constipation and its countless other resultant ailments. I earnestly recommend it. Yours truly, C. S. Holmberg. Don't dread constipation; but don't neglect it It's the poisonous root of scores of serious ailments. Do exactly what Mr. Holmberg did : bring back regular bowel-habits with Nujol. Nujol gives you the quick relief you want without the least griping or reaction. Thousands know it is the safest remedy, for the body cdtrnot absorb it. Quit using harmful pills and salts. Nujol makes you "regular as clockwork." Start using it today. ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS There are no substitutes there is only Nujol At every drug store.
