C,, wlo | claimed to be a niece, read like a tale from the “Arabian Nights,” ho sald It the testimony in this case had been given before him in his own district Judge Corcoran asserted he would have had the claimant and witnesses prose cuted for perfury. “Our courts,” he said, “should teach a lesson in the state con- cerning testimony of this character.” Several of the claimants announced that they would appeal from the decision Attorneys will have sixty days in whic to file briefs on the jurisdiction question. and the state will have thirty days in | which to answer.

Wead ASK YOUR DOCTOR rious, morbid condition that dulls the mental pro- cesses and shortens life. If the mechanical lubrication of the walls of the intestine is not the rational treatment for restoringnormal bowel activity. Modern medical science answers yes to both these ques- tions. Eminent specialists both in this country and abroad have found the mineral oil treat- ment for constipation remark- ably effective as a substitute for habit-forming laxatives and , cathartics. IF constipation is not a se- o i e REO, U, PAT, Nujol, a pure white min- eral oil, colorless, odorless, tasteless, lubricates the entire intestinal canal, softens its contents and thus makes it easy for the weakened out-of- condition bowel to perform. Performance means a gain of strength ~—a return to normal—and less need of any artificial aid. In other words Nujol brings permanent relief from "constipation.
