New uses for electricity are con stantly appearing. One of the lateRt Is the detection of crude oil In the earth Instead of boring for It. It Is stated that erude petroleum has been located electrically In the shallow oil field near Corslcana, Tex., and that further tests are being made around .Burkburnett. A series of batteries is used for the test, the negative ter minal being connected to a wire which Is dropped Into a dry waterhole, valley or indentation, and the positive terminal bejng connected to a "land wire," which is Vised to make contact at various points on the surface of | the field Investigated.' It Is stated i that the higher electrical resistance of oil compared ? with other . constitu ents of the earth, permits It to be lo- ? cated by the reduced deflection of a sensitive Instrument in the Circuit. | Pulp Yields 20 Commodities.

Nourishing food keeps their littlebodiessturdy and strong, but the waste prod uct ot this food is danger ous, if not gotten rid of thoroughly and effectively. Nujol is particularly valuable for relieving constipation in children as well as in grown-ups, as it does not upset the stomach, cause diarrhoea or form a habit. Nujol works on an entirely new principle* Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply softens the food waste . This enables the many tiny muscles in the walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their normal way, to ^squeeze the food waste along so that it passes naturally out of the system, Nujol thus prevents constipation because it helps Nature maintain easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals?the health iest habit in the world.
