?Electricity to Locate Oil.
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. |

Chicago ? Dr. E. C. Dudley of 242
East Walton pluce out talked a man
who attempted to rob him, saved his
valuables, and emerged from the en
counter unhurt, though the robber was
armed. "
The man approached the doctor near
his home as ho* was returning from a
call to see a patient, and ordered him
to hold up his hands.
?'You shouldn't do this," the doctor
said. "Don't you know If any one
catches you after you shoot me It
means you will be hanged?"- ? f
- "Hold up yonr hands and give me
your money or I will kill you," the man
replied. - X
"Oh, no, yoa wouldn't do anything
like that."
"Well, then, lie down on the side
walk and I will go through your
pockets."
The revolver shook in the robber'*
hand. He waited a minute and when
the doctor refused to band over hla
money, turned and fled.

The Cletrac Way Makes

Saving time means saving money. There is a ri^ch
difference between Cletrac farming and the old way
as there is between the speed of the aeroplane and the
.sloth of the ox cart. The Cletrac saves two waya
. saves time, saves labor.
When you want a quick job of plowing, harrowing,
seeding, haying, harvesting, hauling, log snaking, .
wood sawing, road building or any kind of belt work,
you can depent on the Cletrac.
Why waste time with mules. and trifling^ high priced
labor when the Cletrac will get your farm work done
better, quicker and cheaer?

Their glowing health is a

Nourishing food keeps

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.
INtujol is absolutely harmless and
pleasant to take. Try it.
