Not a Laxative
Nujol is a lubricant not a
medicine or laxative - so
cannot gripe.
When you nrc constipated,
not enough of Nature's lu
bricating liquid is produced
in the bowel to keep the food
wnstcBoftnnd moving. Doc
tors prescribe Nujol because
it acts like this nnturul lubri
cant nnd thus secures regular
bowel movements byNnture'B
own method lubrication.

tho fortieth year. After that the shell
takes on one only every ten years.
ThlB venerable Delaware oyster had

LEGION MAN BUSY IN CHINA
Alfred H. Holt, Wisconsin Boy, Was
First Commander of American
Organization in China,
Alfred II. Holt, formerly of Oconto,
Wis., was the first commander of the
Canton (Clilnn)
American Legion
post, one of the
recently organized
branches of the
soldiers' organ'za
tlon In foreign
climes. Had It not
been for the Le
gion man China
tnihij would be
lacking a good
"republican" or
two, for It was
his home that
sheltered the may-
Alfred
or of Canton, son of Poet or Sun Ynt
Sen, during the lighting for the posses
sion of the city in lt)'J'J.
Holt Is an instructor at the Canton
Christian college, where he teaches
French and Kngllsh to the Chinese
students. He Is also instructor of mili
tary tactics to the cadet corps, and Is
active In boy scout work of the school.
While the lighting was In progress
last June, the gunboats of Doctor Sun
Yat Sen were shelling the city ami
were answered by the forts of the town.
The lire grew so Intense that Doctor
Sun's wife, ids son, then the mayor of
the city, bis wife, lied to the college
grounds Tor surety. One shell, fortti
nately u "dud," lit squarely on top of
u college dormitory, but did no harm.
Since Doctor Holt's election as com
mander of this faraway post, he lias
taken an active part in its work. Ho
organized an American Legion baseball
team, of which he himself is a member,
as well as of the college baseball team,
which met the University of California
on the recent trip that team made to
the Orient. It is said that when these
two teams met, the armies of the re
publicans and Irregulars suspended
lighting long enough to watch the base
ball game.
A student nt Williams collego In
1017, Holt became a member of the
lirst training camp at Iiattsburg In
101S, and at the close of this camp was
ordered to Camp Lee, Va. for further
training. He was commissioned as
second Heiitenunt of Infantry early In
November, 191S, but failed to get over
seas. After his release from service
hu returned to college, finished his
course, and soon afterward accepted
the post of Instructor in China. He
beads a small but extremely enthusias
tic bunch of Legionnaires In Canton.

nrrangenients to Dr Kate Di,r'-e
obtain information In regard to the
final destination of the llhlne women.
Auxiliary units in those communities
will assist the brides In acclimating
themselves to a new country. Dr.
Barrett believes that many of the un
pleasant experiences which naturally
fall to the lot of aliens can be elimi
nated by the kindly help of Auxiliary
women.
The war brides measure up well
with any other group of women, Dr.
Barrett stated. They are young,
healthy women, none of thern of tliu
"dapper" type. Most of them spoke
Kngllsh, since their husbands, they
said, would not learn to speak tier,
man.
Dr. Barrett vvus Intere.sted In tho
attitude of the men toward returning
to America. "All that I spoko to,"
she said, "were happy to get back
home. There was a great deal of mer
riment In regard to the difference
between the tlnauelal standing of the
soldier at home and In Germany. At
the present value of the mark, the
soldiers were "millionaires." As many
expressed themselves, "We all feel
like millionaires who have suddenly
lost our fortunes." The only ones who
spoke of returning to Germany were
those who left their wives and chil
dren behind and expected to return
for them, she said.
Living It Over.
A western veteran was relating his
war experience in un American Legion
tost to a friend when a third man drew
ids chair up Just in time to hear tho
lirst say:
" and they were falling all around
us. Thick? Oh, boy!"
"Living It over, oh?" Interrupted the
newcomer. "How big were they?"
"Some of 'em elht or ten feet in di

big. What war worn you In? You

"Shell shock me eye. I guess I vvus
