Better Babies
A constipated infant begins life heavily handi
capped. Constipation means infinitely more
than mere failure of the bowels to move regu
larly and thoroughly. It means stagnation of
waste matter, production .of irritant and poison
ous substances, and their absorption into the
blood by which they are carried all over the body.
Cells are poisoned, growth interfered with,
and a soil prepared in which germs of disease
easily take root and develop. Constipatioa in
infancy is a bad habit, but giving an infant
drugs to force the bowels to move is a crime. A
baby is like a bud?both may easily be blasted.
The Nujol Treatment for Constipation is not
only absolutely harmless, but is in the highest
degree efficient.
Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any drug.
Nujol helps Nature to overcome the bad habits
by re-establishing natural, easy, thorough bowel
evacuation, as regular as clockwork.
Eveiy drop of Nnjol taken into the body come* out of the
body. Bat in its passage through the intestinal canal, it keep*
the bowel contents soft and moist, makes it easier for the in
testinal ginacV* to act, absorbs poisons and helps to discourage
guiu growth.
Get Nnjol of your druggist and give it according to daenium.

TOM LAKES
Army Filer Covers 4,000
Miles in Zigzag Course
in Sixty-Four Hours.
Four thousand miles In the air in
a zigzag course from the gulf to
the great lakes, says a .War Depart
ment statement today, is the distance
traveled by an Army flier from El
lington Field, near Houston, Tex., to
Mount Clemens, Mich., and return.
Total hours of actual flight were
siity-four. Nine days elapsed from
the time he left Ellington Field until
his return. Lieut. John E. Davis was
the pilot and he made the trip alone,
without mechanic and without chang
ing plane or motor. He carried an
extra gasoline tank In his plane,
making the total capacity fifty gal
lons.
Starting Friday afternoon at 1
o'clock, Lieut. Davis made Dallas for
the night. From Love Field, Dallas,
he flew to Memphis, Tenn., by way
of Texarkana and Little Rock, spend
ing the night at Memphis. Sunday
night at S o'clock he made Indianapo
lis by following the Mississippi north
to St. Louis and swinging east by
way of Springt.eld and Rantoul, 111.
Here he was forced to take the
ground in the dark without landing
lights. The next morning he flew to
Cincinnati and the day following to
Mount Clemens, Mich., by way of
Dayton.
On his return trip he encountered
a heavy storm over the Mississippi
valley. The entries in his log at
this point read as follows:
"I climbed to 5,000 feet and flew
over the storm for two hours. At the
end of this time I figured that I was
nearing Little Rock and descended
I into the storm clouds to check my
i course. I no sooner entered the
I clouds at 4,500 feet than my compass
! started acting peculiarly. My ship
j was buffeted around and I completely
lost control. I cut my gun and watch
ed my altimeter and noted that I was
falling at a high rate of speed. My
controls were absolutely useless, so I
left them alone, awaiting in readiness
to right myself upon emerging from
the clouds. I finally came through the
clouds in a steep nose dive and side
slip at an altitude of 300 feet. I
righted myself and looked for a land
ing place, because I feared that the
rain would stop my motor. Was un
able to find any place to land, the
country being covered with forest. I
flew along at 300 feet for some time
and found that I had covered only
half of the distance I should have
been at this time. I climbed carefully
through the clouds to 5,000 feet and
passed the storm in about one and
one-half hours. Arrived at Eberts
Field O. K. From there I proceeded
to Texarkana over the clouds again
because they were very low. Arrived
there at 5 p.m. Left for Dallas the
next day against stiff wind. Left Dal- .
las Sunday morning 8:30, arriving at
Eliington at 1 p.m. I

Sidelights on the War
-BY
OLIVES OWEN KUiLN.
The wearing of life belts aboard ship I
has given more annoyance to travelers
than all the "tin fish" in the Atlantic.
Sometimes passengers on ocean-going
vessels are forced to spend entire days
in life belts sitting quite upright on
deck chairs.
Were the people of the St. Mlhiel
salient Jealous that they were liber
ated by the Americans and not the
French? This is a question often
asked, but answered best by a French
peasant:
"Jealous? No. The French armies I
did all they could to liberate us. We
love the Americans as our own flesh |
and blood."
(Discussing the kaiser, after spending I
five years close to court life in Berlin, |
one observer writes:
"The German is notoriously arrogant,
vain and envious. These qualities are
to be found in the kaiser's character,
blended with a high patriotism and a
devotion to duty which even his bitter
est critics will not deny him. To the
foreign observer living in Germany and
seeing the emperor, as I used to see
him, several times a month (In as many
moods almost as the uniforms he pos
sessed), the kaiser appeared as a man
basking for ever In the limelight of
publicity. One could see him preen
himself. One could almost hear his
eternal self-questioning: "What do they
think of me abroad?' For your good
German Is a snob at heart. He does
not give a rap for the opinion of his
fellow countrymen. He knows too well
that good taste and discrimination are
non-existent in the German people. No,
he looks beyond the German frontiers
for admiration and approval.
"That is the gist of the ill-feeling I
which existed between King Edward |
and his imperial nephew. King Edward,
shrewd man of the world as he was,
saw through the emperor's perpetual
posturings and laughed at him. The
kaiser knew that the first gentleman
in Europe held him in low esteem, and
It angered him beyond measure. The
adulation of English and American
snobs never compensated him for King
Edward's polished condescension."
Surgeons attached to allied armies
declare badly wounded men who are
sinking fast invariably think of their
loved ones while "golpg west." As
an illustration: Recently a young
ofllcer received a terrible wound in
the stomach, and as he was carried
back he realized his end was near.
Calling one of his comrades, he mur
mured:
"Tell Mary?I?did my?best. Send
?my?belt?to her?she gave?it?to
me?-when?I?got?my ?commission.
Good?bye?old?chap. Hope?you?
have?better?luck. Tell?Mary- "
And then his eyes closed.
The work of the men who rescue
airplanes after they have fallen in
no man's land is highly important.
Many a grim little war is fought
out on strafed no man's land between
the rival "savages"?little wars you
never read and seldom hear about.
Whether the disabled machine is a
friend or a "Jerry" matters little. The
machinery?and possible hidden se
crets?make the prize valuable.
When the "crash" is reached the
real work begins. It may be a nose
dive, with the boss of the splintered
prop imbedded deep in the ground.
Chains, pulleys, crowbars, skids and
levers, wielded by muscular bands,
come into active service, the gun crew
defying interference.
There is also a grimly grewsome side
to the feverishly hurried business -The
remains of friend and foe alike are rev
erently treated, and up on to the car
rier the -wreck is hoisted. Ail explosive
crackle from the engine, the "AU
aboard!" and "All clear!" from be
hind, and away, helter-skelter, speed
the victorious "savages," with the bat
| teries of Fritz?silent while his con
federates were in range of his bullets
-barking angry disappointment.
A pulse-quickening race home, with
death alongside every yard of the way.
At night the risks are greater. Hid
den shell holes, filled with stagnant
water, prove veritable death traps to
the "savages" in the heavy, shuddering
vehicles running against time?and
other odds. But, as Tommy says in
his newly acquired best French. "It's
all ceta ne fait rien."

IMPORTANT AFTER-WAR TASK !
SEEN FOR INDUSTRIES BOARD
Seems Certain to Continue and Play Big
Role in Readjusting Nation's Business.
Otker Agencies Will Also Have Part.
As a factor In the monumental task
of reconstruction, to follow the war,
the War Industries Board seems cer
tain to continue In existence and to
play a large part in the transforma
tion of war manufacturing back to
peace time production. This is one
feature of. the government's program
for easing the nation's business from
the pitch of war to the pursuits of
peace without convulsing it in the
process. In .a sense, the program is
tentative, because its formulation has
just begun. Nevertheless the plan
ning for peace is giving all govern
ment agencies in Washington these
days material for as systematic
thought as the prosecution of war.
Industrial reconstruction, next to
demobilization of the Army, is prob
ably the most important phase of
these plans. How to stbp the manu
facture of shells, of guns, of Army
and Navy supplies, without stopping
the industrial wheels which made
them, and to furnish new work for
these wheels, is a problem which
agencies of the War Industrial Board
will be jcalled on to solve. This means
that the hundreds of industrial and
commercial leaders who have been
called to Washington will have to
continue their services for essential
peace work, or substitutes for them
be found.
Will Keed Guide Then.
Manufacturing plants which now
look to the War Industries Board for
assistance in obtaining materials and
which in turn comply with the force
ful suggestions of the board eventu
ally will call on some government
agency to guide them during the
process of facing about toward peace
production. The War Industries Board
is the only agency equipped with the
machinery and supplied with the in
formation to Rive this guidance. For
that reason, the officials ln^closeat
touch with currents of ideas within
the government insist that the War
Industries Board will continue in ex
istence indefinitely after the war, re
gardless of when the war ends.
Officials- intimate that means will be
found of continuing the current plans
for eliminating strikes, of giving la
bor greater voice in the management of
Industrial plants and of extending both
labor and trade federations to pro
mote collective bargaining. They sug
gest that the government, through the
War Finance Corporation, may aid in
the conversion of industries from war
to peace footing, reversing the exist
ing priority of war enterprises." Rail
road transportation, industrial produc
tion and ocean shipping must be co
ordinated and supervised for a few
years after peace comes as they have
been during the war, in the opinion of
government leaders. Employment
agencies, universities and schools,
churches and other social organizations
must co-operate to facilitate the plac
ing of returned soldiers in the occu
pations where they are best fitted and
most needed.
Also Xiikely to Continfie.
To do all this it is the belief in many
official circles in Washington that most
government agencies which have
sprung up during the war must con
tinue to function for an indefinite time
afterward. These include the War In
dustries Board, Shipping Board, War
Trade Board, food and fuel administra
tions, War Labor Board and the War
Labor Policies Board, numerous divis
ions of the Council of National De
fense, War Finance Corporation and
many other connected agencies. The
railroad administration has twenty-one
months to live after peace is signed,
unless future legislation should change
existing plans for restoration pf rail
roads to private control. The Red
Cross. Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation, War Camp Community Serv
ice and similar institutions will have
big work to perform in conjunction
with the government long alter the
war Is over.
In realisation that the question of
how to accomplish all these compli
cated matters will be as big a ques
tion as that of how to make war has
been, nearly all government agencies
now ace bestirring themselves quiet
ly to taking stock. In Congress the
spirit is reflected in at least, three
pending resolutions looking to crea
tion of boards or commissions to study
reconstruction. The republicans, ad
vocate a survey by a committee of
members of Congress. Senator Over
man's resolution provides for appoint
ment of a disinterested body of stu
dents of various problems. Senator
Owen has a similar suggestion. Most
administration leaders are inclined .to
indorse Senator Overman's proposal.
Looks to the Future.
President Wilson has discussed the
questions of Internal, as well as in
ternational reconstruction, with a few
advisers, and it is understood that it
was at his suggestion that the Coun
cil of National Defense went to work
months ago gathering information
from all departments and bureaus
concerning their capabilities as peace
time bodies. An extensive bibliog
raphy, several chests full of reports,
and a number of charts have been
gathered together for the use of any
agency which may undertake to for
mulate the government's reconstruc
tion program. No effort has been
made by the council's officers to sug
gest policies. The research work has
been done largely by Walter S. Gif
ford and Grosvenor Clarkson. director
and secretary, respectively, of the
council. Mr. Gilford has just returned
from Europe with information on ten
tative reconstruction plans of the al
lies. *
All this is only the barest outline
of what government leaders are
thinking these days, without regard
to when the war will end.

From all accounts, the most eagerly sought-for ciga
rette among American soldiers abroad is Fatima. Exact
figures to prove this are not available; but, in view of
Fatima's known popularity with both officers and men
still in training on this side of the water, it would seem
to be correct. Below are printed a few typical reports on
training camps and army posts, received, from our sales
