It does not affect the stomach and is not absorbed by the body. Nujol helps tn Nature’s own way Nujol simply makes up for a deficiency—temporary or chronic—in the supply of natural lubricant in the intestines. It softens the waste matter and thus permits thorough and regular elimination, without overtaxing the intestinal muscles. Nujcl can be taken for any length of time without ill effects. To insure internal cleanliness, it should be taken regularly in accordance with the directions on each bottle. Unlike laxatives, it does not form a habit and can be discontinued at any time.

REAGAN

ISS M E LINDA BROWN, spinster, had been waiting j nil year for Peter Moffat to propose. In fact, ever since they had met some j two year” before. ; she had felt that '

j h ■

Peter could be brought around to take the “big plunge” with her into the sea of matrimony, but things had not gone on so well as she could have hoped. She was sure Peter loved her. but he was an extremely shy man and it required no little pushing to get him up to the point. Several time- Melinda thought she “bad” him. She had given him every opening by referring coyly j to her “own little !

home —If she ever had one," and to her “lonely lif* nt present.” but Peter only sat silent at such remarks. Ignoring them completely, or stupidly telling her that after all. many people led more lonely Ilves than she. and not to be so discontented. Melinda looked forward to the approaching Christmas season with glee. Surely

he would give her a ring for Christmas, after these months of courting. The season advanced and Christinas arrived bringing a parcel from Mr. Moffat and a note sent from Chicago. Melinda’s heart sank when she saw the postmark. “Out of town for Christmas. Then It is all off,” she said sadly. She glanced as the package—ten inches square—Surely no engagement ring In that" Slowly she untied it. It was writing paper. She opened the letter from him and read: “Just a Christmas greeting, hoping you wiD write to me frequently. I shall be in Chicago for several months. “Sincerely. “PETER MOFFAT.” Furious. Melinda tore the note into bits. “I shall never look at him again,” she breathed. “And after the way Pre run after him! But that’s been the trouble. Tve run after him too much. I shall never write to him. From this out I shall never si>eak to him again—never speak to him again f* she repeated emphatically. And Melinda kept her word. Peter Moffat was growing a little uneasy. Three months had passed and ( no word from Melinda. It finally be- ( came too much even for the patient Mr. Moffat. He felt his temper rising steadily against Melinda. “Thinks she can play a game like that, eh? Run after me while I’m in town and then ( drop me when I go away. Probably after some other man now.” This thought brought crimson flashes of ( Jealousy to the already highly colored , cheeks of Peter Moffat. “By George, ( no woman will make a fool out of m^f he exploded. "I’ll go to Spring- । field tonight and I'll make her marry •

me. After nil these months of courting her, too!” It so happened that Melinda's cousin, Arthur, who had come from Kansas City was having dinner with her at the hotel the night Peter Moffat came in from Chicago. Peter was hurrying down the street from the station when he happened to look in at the brightly lighted restaurant of the hotel and there —what? He stopped dead still, the evil green monster rising in his breast. It was Melinda with another man! Ilfs first impulse was to rush Into the hotel, punch this Impertinent stranger and carry Melinda off with him. But this shyness was stronger than his pas-

sion and he only turned away, grinding his teeth und clenching his fists. He Would see Melinda in the morning nt her house! The next morn Ing about nine o’clock Melinda was surprised to see Peter Moffat at her door She began to tremble nervously. “Good morning. Peter.”, she said to him, and extended n eoltl, moist hand.

Peter grunted. "I ve coiiie to talk to you, Melinda.” he said very seriously indeed, and closed the door behind him. They sat in the little parlor of the Brown house. “You haven't been playing a straight game with me. Melinda,” he began. “I know all about it—you needn t try to explain. I saw you last night, and I’ve seen you other nights. You have only been using me as a plaything while you’ve had these other fellows on the side.” Melinda gasped. “Why Peter Moffat, you—you”—she could think of nothing to say. “I know all about it,” he repeated; “I’ve been watching you. Now all I’ve got to say Is that I’tn not a man to be trifled with. Either you marry me at once or you never will see me again. I want an answer right now, yes or no.” Melinda felt as though she had been suddenly burled Into an avalanche. She could not understand what had gotten into Peter, or what he was referring to. She did know, however, with an ecstatic sense of delight that he was proposing. “I’ll marry you whenever you say, Peter,” she said meekly. Peter, feeling greatly triumphant, leaned over and kissed his future wife tenderly. “We’ll be married tomorrow,” he said. (©. 1925. Western Newspaper Union.) Saved to Buy Christmas Present for Her Daddy THE eldest of the four children was now ten; their mother had been dead three years. How the father had kept such a young family together was a miracle even to him, but with the help of the day nursery, he had managed very well. For the third Christmas now the widower tucked the children snugly in bed with a promise to call them at daybreak. Then he tiptoed to his own room. Half an hour later when the house was quiet, Santa Claus entered the tiny kitchen and proceeded to fill the four little stockings hanging in a row behind the stove. Then suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten to bring a present for the father of the house. How disappointed the little ones would be to have their father overlooked like this! Why, they would think he’s not been good 1 But It was too late, now, to get him anything Nothing could be done. Shortly after the house was quiet once again, the little girl stole into the kitchen and hung a stocking with a package in it near the others. For months she had saved her pennies so that when Christmas came again she would be able to play Santa Claus to daddy. “How surprised ’n happy he will be,” she thought, as she crepi back to her room.—H.
