FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has
Replaced Them.
An inestimable amount of injury, ac
cording to an eminent medical author
ity, is done by the use of pills and
salts, as most of these provide only
temporary relief at the expense of per
manent injury.
Science has found a newer, better
way; a means as simple as Nature it
self.
In perfect health, a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft. Thus it is
easily eliminated, but when constipa
tion exists, this natural lubricant is
not sufficient.
To find something to take the place
of this natural lubricant, medical au
thorities have conducted exhaustive re
search. They have discovered that the
gentle, lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Nature’s own
lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative, it
cannot gripe. It is not a medicine in
any sense of the word, and, like pure
water, it is harmless. Get a bottle from
your druggist.—Advertisement.

WIFE DIES, MAN
Smithland, la., Farmer Hangs
Self After Hearing That
His Estranged Mate
Had Passed On.
Smithland, la., July 1 (Special).—
Eight hours after his divorced wife,
Mrs. Ida Button, 72 years old, was
found dead in the garden in the rear
of her home here shortly after 9
o’clock Monday morning. Oscar But
ton, 73 years old, committed suicide
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Aine Cox, four miles southwest of
here, by hanging himself to a rafter
In the barn loft.
Dormant love for the sweetheart of
by-gone days which surged through
his breast upon hearing of her sud
den death is believed by relatives and
friends to have prompted the aged
farmer to end his life. Occasionally
Button would come to Smithland
with his daughter and pay a visit
to his daughters who reside here.
Nearly 10 years ago the couple sep
arated, Mrs. Button remaining in the
home here, and Mr. Button moving to
the Cox farm, making his home with
his daughter. Vain attempts to ef
fect a reconciliation between Mrs.
Button and her husband were repeat
edly made by members of the family.
Mrs. Button remained steadfast in
her decision to live alone.
Wife Found in Garden.
Tear by year Button became more
reticent about his former wife. He
sought seclusion and practically re
mained on the Cox farm. Frequent
ly he would remark about the situa
tion, according to members of the
family, and intimated that death
would end it all.
Mrs. Button, according to Miss
Floy Button, a daughter with whom
the aged woman was living, arose
early Monday morning. Apparently
she had gone to the garden, as a hoe
Was found lying close to the body
which was found by the daughter
lying face downward. A sudden
stroke of apoplexy is believed to have
caused Mrs. Button's death.
Relatives and friends were sum
moned. Mr. and Mrs. Cox, without
informing Button, drove to Smithland
to make arrangements for the burial
of Mrs. Button. Returning home
shortly after 5 o’clock Monday night,
Mr. and Mrs. Cox missed Button, who
usually was sitting on the porch of
the home.
nusoana nangs oeir.
A search was instigated. Dangling
from the end of a rope, securely fas
tened to a rafter and tied tightly
about the throat, was the body of
Button. Death was due to strangu
lation. Button’s body was taken to
Mrs. Button’s home.
Side by side, in the cottage, where
10 years before they had made their
home, fay the bodies of the aged
couple. A dou1 le funeral probably
will be held. The aged couple will
be buried side by side.
The aged man was not aware of
Mrs. Button’s death until a half hour
before he ended his life. Apparently
in good health the aged farmer went
across the road to the home of New
ton Moose for a short visit. There he
was informed of Mrs. Button’s death.
According to Moose, the aged man
faltered in his steps as he turned and
walked away toward the Cox farm
home. It is believed he immediately
committed suicide.
Five daughters survive the aged
couple. They are: Mrs. D. Good
rich, of Holstein, la.; Mrs. Cox; Mrs.
S. C. Morgan; Mrs. Charles Cox and
Miss Floy Button, all of Smithland.

Royal C. Johnson, republican candi

for the debate in which he wi!I at

the law.
The non-partisan candidate de
clared that Congressman Johnson
was indifferent to the welfare of his
constituency when he voted foi this
measure. It is Mr. Lockhart’s pur
pose to seek the repeal of the Bsch
Cummlns law. The challenge reads:
•'Resolved, that the Esch-Cummins

servient to special privilege, and (hat

its passage misrepresented the com

Universal Service.
Chicago, July 11.—The railroad
sti«»n Monday night liad apparently
resolved into a test of endurance be
tween the roads and the men. Law
and order was maintained by the lo
cal authorities throughout the coun
try, reinforced by squads of United
States marshals and a few companies
of militia.
The ultimatum of the roads that
shopmen who fulled to report for
work Monday would lose their senior
ity rights brought no rush of em
ployes back to the plants, reports in
dicated. But the" shops in most lo
calities were able to make a show of
operation.
Holcomb Parks, secretary of the
railroad executives' association, said
no reports on thenumbor *>f ren who
returned to work had beet, received
in his office.
"We have heard unofficially that *
considerable number of men cam*
back and hope to have definite fig
ures Tuesday," he said.

That rail traffic was being slowed
up was not denied. The Missouri Pa
cific, annulled 60 passenger and
freight trains, theWabash and North
western discontinued a score and
other roads wore preparing to drop
trains to conserve rolling stock and
motive power.
Danger that the "Big Four”—the
engineers, conductors, firemen and
trainmen, may be drawn into the
shopmen’s strike was not minimized,
i he chief complaint was that mem
hers of the Big Four brotherhoods
were being required to perform work
that belongs- lo shopmen.
The United States railroad labor
board after receiving these complaints
passed a resolution Monday reiterat
ing its previous declarations that no
railroad employe was required to per
form work outside of his usual duties
unless ho was willing to volunteer
his service.
"It is the judgment of the hoard
that a carrier has no right to require
an employe of any class to perform
work outside the scope of the exist
ing agreement or decision of the hoard
covering the rules and working of the
class to which such employe belongs,
unless the employe performs such
work voluntarily," the-statement said.
More Trouble in Clinton, III.
Trainmen In Clinton, 111., where
three companies of militia have been
on duty since- a boy was killed in
rioting Saturday, demanded that the
troops he withdrawn. The men
threatened to refuse to move trains
and would make formal protest to
their executive council. There was
no Indication that the demand would
be met.
Injunctions restraining strikers
were extended Monday to several fed

chief beneficiaries.

"Destruction ot life and property is
imminent and will occur unless pro
tection is afforded at once by state
troops," the mayor told the governor.
Several hundred strikers who had
been clamoring about the Chicago &
Alton shops dispersed with the ar
rival of troops. The shops were open
ed with a limited force.
A thousand United States deputy
marshals were- being recruited in Chi

Kansas City, St. Louis and in prac

Three companies of militia guarded
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Pac

were opened Monday.
Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, was

Monday night suffering from an acci
dental wound in his knee caused when
he shot himself with an air rifle. His
father is John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
Hospital authorities said the Injury

As soon as the oil king learned his
grandson had been shot he hurriedly
left his home in Tarrytown and
rushed to New York. After spending
half an hour with the lad he emerged
from the hospital smiling broadly.
This was the first confirmation of
the report that the boy had been
taken there. The smile was also the
first Indication that the wound was
not serious.
