She dressed hastily to run Into the

thing in the Interior of the goddess.
While dressing she reconstructed what

Why Did Nature Equip
Rattlers With Rattles?
The mystery of why rattlesnakes
have rattles Is propounded by Dr. EX
G. Boulenger, director of the London
aquarium. In a contribution to “The
Wonders of Animal Life," a serlnl
publication now appearing In England.
Any utility of this apparatus to
the rattlesnake “Is very problemat
ical,” Doctor Boulenger remarks, “ for
whilst It may serve as a warning to
approaching enemies, it on the other
hand draws the attention of hostile
creatures to Its presence.”
One suggestion qf naturalists. Doc
tor Bouleuger says. Is that the souud
of the rattle may be mistaken by the
small animals on which the rattle
snake feeds for the noise of running
water. Thus the deceived creatures
approach the sound, are spied by the
waiting reptile, and are devoured.
There Is no actual evidence, however,
that this Is the case.
Many other poisonous snakes have
the hubit. Doctor Boulenger recalls, of
vibrating the tips of their tails back
and forth rapidly when alarmed or
when about to attack, Just as the rat
tlesnake does. If the snake Is among
dry leaves or loose twigs, this tall mo
tion may produce almost exactly the
same rustling sound, he states, as does
the special nolsemaker of the rattle
snake.
Whether this tail-shaking
habit of these snakes without rattles j
Is related In any way to the habitual
warning of the actual rattler is an
other part of the mystery, awaiting
a solution from some observer of
these reptiles.

After 28 Years’ Practice Describes Natural
Treatment which Keeps People Well
• A F T E R over 28 years of the study
f \ and practice o f medicine, during
which time I have treated and
supervised the treatment of almost
every variety of human illness,”
writes Dr. Martin J. Dobson of
Loa Angeles, “ I believe I have dis
covered the greatest blessing that
haa been bestowed upon the human
family. Statistics show that of all
cl s a w of persons, physicians and
nurses live to a riper old age than
any other class of people. I believe
this ia no doubt due to the fact that
they know more about the impor
tance of daily elimination.
Dr. Dobson’s Discovery
“ The remedy 1 am «peaking o f la
colorless, tasteless, harmless to the
most delicate alimentary tract, from
infancy to old age. It ia non-habit-
formir.g, and it is essential to the
smooth running efficiency of the
human body, which needs lubrica
tion just like any other machine.
“ T h » remedy is Nujol.
“ Moat human ailmenta can be
traced to the alimentary tract for
either the main or the contributing
cause, and most of these disorders
can be prevented or cured through
proper cleansing and regulating by
the administration ol Nujol as per
instructions on th« botti« and wrap
per, or as ordered by the physiciaa
or nurse.”
Nujol Laboratories considers it a
privilege to publish Dr. Dobson's
endorsement of Nujol.
Physicians and nurses themselves
use and advise you to use Nujol
regularly to clean the poisons out of
your body (we all have them), be
cause these poisons are what make
us (eel headachy, depressed, low in
our minds.
It is always safe to use Nujol,
because it ia not a medicine; it con
tains absolutely no drugs; it cannot
hurt even the littlest baby: it forms
no habit; it is non-fattening. Nujol
is harmless Internal lubrication.
What This Should Mean to Yon
In the last few weeks we have had
over 6,000 letters from people all
over the world, telling us how Nujol
has helped them to happiness end
success by keeping their bodies in

in sealed packages at any drug
