A PURE WHITE MINERAL-OIL FOR CONSTIPATION THE final test of a remedy is does it do away with the trouble for which it is taken? By that test, the various laxatives and cathartics stand condemned. They do not remove the condition they are supposed to cure.

In fact, the longer they are used, the more they are needed, Laxatives and cathartics are dangerously habit-forming. By the same test, the mineral oil treatment, used in conjunction with a return to rational habits of eating and exercise, reveals itself as the one logical remedy for constipation. Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely neutral, and is not digested or absorbed into the system. It acts merely as a mechanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drug.

Its use will not give quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal contents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity. Write for 'OTic Rational Treatment of Constipation," an informative treatise on constipation. If cannot get Nujol from your druggist, we will send you a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 5c money order or stamps.

The meeting was opened with a talk by President Arthur J. Bins, in which he stressed the Importance of activity of the finance and membership committees.

SPECIAL RATES HAVE BEEN REQUESTED. M. L.

Recognizing these qualities In "Omar, the Tentmaker" The Post prepared a treat for the young women of the Young Women's Co-Operative home bv inviting them to be the guests of The Post at a box party at the Prince to witness the first play of the season at this theater, a play which has attracted more Attention perhaps among literary folk in Houston before Its arrival than any other show that has visited Houston in many years. Owing to the fact that The Post has been running every day verses on Omar, by many contributors everybody was eager to see the play Itself, and when the girls of the Co-Operative home received their invitation they were over-Joyed. In giving theater box parties The Post Is following out a custom established some two years ago.

Each occasion has proved such a happy one for all concerned that The Post was glad to renew the custom this season. The young ladles from the home came In a merry party chaperoned AMUSEMENTS If J.

Each day yields new names and no limit will be placed on the number, as the originators of the Idea are enjoying Intensely seeing the Idea grow.

From a limited number of elates as planned In the beginning, the list of reservations number more than f0 college women, and to this number many more will he added. The banquet board will be spread at tho Bender hotel; reservations may be made at 50 cents a plate.

Mr. Travers came to ft perfect peak, and it was so clean cut that it won the admiration of the lumbermen who witnessed the per formance. But this is not strange If one stops to think that Mr.

Travers was born In the wilds of Canada, up by Hudson Bay, and had to chop trees for kindling as a boy. He lived a good many years of his life in the forests before he ever though of becoming an actor, and his knowledge of the backwoods more than once has come in good stead in motion pictures. Besides.

It deals with rough ana rug-jLt characters, men of primitive passions the cave-man method of obtalnig their desires and disposing of an enemy. Nothing is so thrilling as a man hunt, and this is the story of man huntinc down man to kill, a relentless, pitiless stalklng oj the quarry and a battle to the death.

When two strong men stand face to face, determined that one or the other must die; men battling with guns for leadership and the love of a woman there is a scene that grips the hearts of all spectators and holds them with a breathless interest. The photoplay is full of such great climaxes and thrilling action. The scenes are mostly taken at "The Pines" at the mouth of Dead River, near Waiikegan, Illinois, an ideal wild spot for the setting. A complete logging camp was constructed under the direction of 'Captain E. W.

Calvert, who produced the picture. Several car loads of lumber were shipped from Chlcage and the "shanties" and bhnk houses, saloons, dance halls and gambling rooms were erected by a Chlcage contractor. Nearly one thousand men lived In the camp during the weeks the picture was being taken. The woods of Michigan and Wisconsin were scoured for lumberjacks, and several hundred men were used in the various scenes.

There were elephants and tigers and monkeys and rhinoceroses and thousands (he said) of other kinds of animals. Then, that night, after he went to sleep, he went to another circus where the monkeys had elephant ears and the guinea pigs had monkey tails, and every one of the 10.000 animals that were there looked like half of some other kind! Then there was a little girl who but that's another story.
