one strong reason why they have always appealed to banks, which desire securities they can sell at short notice with little or no prospect of loss. There is a constantly broadening market for equipment trust obligations. This means of course that more and more people are recognizing them as attractive investments and the demand for them is an ncreasing one. They are ideal if peoole or institutions have funds which hey want to invest for short intervals -periods under a year, for instance. Banks buy them very often under these conditions, and find them very satisfacory indeed. Private investors, too, would do well to give attention to them vhen they are in the market for investnent securities.

HEAL

EALTH itself determines the length of life and your enjoyment of it. Because of their physical well-being, many people in advanced years carry youth well into later life. Their joys, their pleasures, their whole outlook on life is that of youth. The eminent bacteriologist, Metchnikoff, claimed that "old age" is due in, great part to poisons generated in the intestinal canal.

Cumulative Effect

As the dropping of water wears away the stone, so does the continued action of intestinal poisons enfeeble the body. Constipation of long standing is responsible for many of the maladies of old age-hardened arteries, high blood pressure, hemorrhoids (piles), kidney and bladder troubles, and the like. It favors the advance of asthma, catarrh, rheumatism, and other ailments that bring discomfort and suffering to those in later life.

After Life's High-Noon Elderly people are usually deficient in intestinal mucus-that

fluid normally secreted in the intestinal tube to assist the passage of food waste. Nujol takes the place of this deficient mucus. It lubricates the intestines, and penetrates and helps to remove hardened layers of matter that often adhere to the bowel walls. It soothes irritated or abraded spots. It absorbs many poisons and carries them out of the body.

Nujol is prescribed by leading medical authorities as a safe and efficient aid to health in advanced years as it relieves constipation without any unpleasant or weakening effects. By softening the food waste, it enables the many tiny muscles in the walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their normal way, to squeeze this waste along so that it passes naturally out of the system. Nujol prevents constipation because it helps Nature to maintain easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals-the healthiest habit in the world. Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it.

He did this one when the biggest steam hammer in works had been broken at a critic time. During the show he remembere that a junk dealer in town had a casti that might be used to repair the ha mer, which otherwise would be outf commission for a month. At for o'clock the next morning he was on h way with a team to the dealer's y at seven o'clock he had the casting i the shop, and by noon the hammer running again and he had saved the situation.

"When the train reached McAlester the robbers stopped it and made ther escape with approximately $2,000 which they had taken from the passengers" An element of humor in this otherwise lugubrious situation is revealed whe it is recalled that the State Prison dra Oklahoma is at McAlester.

Ingenious Boy Scouts of Maxwell Iowa, built a motor truck out of junked parts of automobiles, with the addition of a damaged stationary engine whi cost them $10. The car makes only t miles an hour, but it can carry a big load of boys and their dunnage whe they go on long hikes. This home-ma car made the round trip to the St Fair, where it aroused much interest.

"I don't know of any going business over two hundred years old," a scriber writes, "but I have been w ing twenty-seven and one-half years a company that has been making in and steel at High Bridge, New Jersey since 1742, and has supplied ammunition for every American war since. I send you an account of presentation of ser vice emblems to employees in 1919. A that time, you will notice, we had seren men who had worked for us over ity years, 110 over twenty-five years, and 490 over five years. The company's name is the Taylor-Wharton Iron an Steel Company."

In 1802 Earl Mount Cashell, an Irish peer, with his family visited France. Miss Wilmot, a member of the party, wrote her impressions of the trip in letters home. These have just been pub lished in book form under the title "An Irish Peer on the Continent." Of Napo leon (then First Consul) Miss Wilmot

says:

The 5th of this Month we dined at the Thuilleries with Bonaparte. After passing through various Antechambers where were bands of military music, we at length reach'd the room where Madame Bonaparte sat under a canopy blazing in Purple and diamonds. More than two hundred persons were assembled and Bonaparte walk'd about the room speaking politely to everybody. His countenance is delightful when animated by conversation, and the expression in the lower part of his Face pleasing to the greatest degree; his eyes are reflec

tion itself, but so charming a smile as his, I never scarcely beheld. His dress was simple and his air, tho' reserv'd, announcing everything of the polish'd gentleman.

In another letter Miss Wilmot deribes a review by Napoleon:

Bonaparte rode on a white charger dressed in the grand costume of Office, which was scarlet velvet richly embroidered with gold. He looked as pale as ashes, and the expression of his countenance was stern severity. His hair is dark, which he wears without powder, and his person (which is remarkably small) appears perfectly proportion'd. Except the national cockade, he wore no ornament in his hat, which circumstance distinguish'd him from all the others, whose hats were great repositories for Brocade and grandeur. All the Regiments saluted Bonaparte, and the entire spectacle was extremely brilliant, and I was more gratified than I ever was by a warlike pageant in all my life.

Miss Wilmot's meeting with Talleynd, who handed her in to dinner at a ate function, gave her an unpleasant pression of him. She says:

At a distance his Face is large, pale and flat, like a Cream Cheese, but on approaching nearer, cunning and rank hypocrisy supplant all other resemblances. On sitting down to dinner, he spoke on different subjects politely enough and mentioned his having been in England. .. Just then after dismissing his soup, he enter'd with interest upon his dinner and certainly such a gourmandeur never was it before my fate to behold. For the length of two hours his mouth was never closed, and even at the intervals of plate changing he fill'd up crevices by demolishing a dish of raw Artichokes, in his neighbourhood. Oh! such a cormorant! . . However, dinner was at length finish'd and Talleyrand presented me his fat paw, to conduct me back again into the drawing room.

A swordfish of monster size was hoisted on the pier where the day's catch as being landed, the Boston "Tranript" says in illustrating the point at the old fish stories are the best ies. The countryman who saw it uld hardly believe his senses, and hen he at last recovered himself suffiently to speak, it was only to exclaim: The man who caught that fish is a irn liar!"

A paper substitute for glass which was sed during war times in the devastated stricts of France has now, it is reorted, been found extremely useful by uck farmers and horticulturists. It dmits heat and light in the same deree as glass, and its cheapness is leadng to a wide use of it.

The origin of the tunes to which many amous songs are sung is obscure, acording to a newly published "Dictionry of Musical Compositions." Among ongs thus characterized are: "The Wearin' o' the Green," "John Brown's ody," "God Save the King," "Down mong the Dead Men," "Yankee Doodle," Star-Spangled Banner," and "Lochaber o More."
