The Panama Canal is a clear passageway as far as the Culebra Cut. But Gold Hill lias a way of slipping into the cut. And until drederj can clear the channel, the industrial schedule of the world is out of near. K How about your ovi canal ? The intestinal canal is g clear passageway as far as the large intestine. There, if you become constipated, waste matter is allowed to stagnate. It becomes unnaturally dry and undergoes abnormal fermentation and putrefaction. Germ activity is increased. Your whole system is ' out of gear. Result, the production of irritating and poisonous substances, which are absorbed into your blood and carried all over your body, liable to pro duce disease anywhere. The longer such stagnation is allowed to exist, the harder it is to clean out the canaL 90 of human disease originates in the "Culebra Cut" If engineers tried to blast out the slide from Culebra Cut they would have more slides to cope with. If you try to blast out accumulated waste from siur Culebra Cut with pills, salts or purges, you will increase your constipation and next time you will have to take stronger medicine in a larger dose. V You can't dredge yur caual. You can clean it out with Nujol. Nujol softens the mass, and supplies the Intestinal canal with sufficient moisture to replace deficient mucus. It causes the obstructive waste matter to pass gently out of your system at a regular hour, absorbing and removing the poisons as it goes Nujol regularity keeps the traffic of your mind and body operating on schedule.

Pressure on All KronU On a front of more than 30 miles In Klanders, the Belgians, French and Hritish continue to push forward vigorously. Courtral and Thorout, Important railway Junctions on the flanks of the attacking front, have fallen to the Belgians and British, while In the center the French have taken I.lchtorvolde and Ardoye. Courtral probably is the most Impor tant of the rail conters feeding the Lille area. Thorout Is 12 miles south west of Bruges which is less than 10 miles from tho Dutch frontier, x On both sides of the Meuse the Americans maintain their pressure which resulted Wednesday in the capture of important ground north and northeast of the Argonne forest. East ot the river the Americans have gained Important high ground. Forced by Pressiiro American forces occupied the vil lage of (rrundpre. situated on the north side of the Aire river as it runs westwnrd through the Arironnc for est. They have ulso captured Mou-lin-lcs-Pas, to the eastward, and have control of Loues wood, an isolated bit of forest land whieh has afforded the Germans i;ood cover in the fiitht insr east of tho Arironne.
