Robinson, 'retired circus c owner, died at his winter home, Maimi, Fla., Saturday evening of chronic ti bronchitis. He was 77 years of age. i* Mr. Robinson had been subject to bronchitis for a number of years, li The last attack overtook him about two years ago. He failed rapidly and b? his advanced age proved a barrier to it IWUTW/t The body was sent to Cincinnati, jhi Mr. Robinson was born November 01 4, 1843, in Linden, Ala., not two hundred yards from his father's show. li< At the age of 18 months he entered ai the sawdust ring on a career as per- li former which ultimately made him ni one of the largest circus owners in the world. At 18 years he had ac- ft cumulated enough with the aid of his is father to start on the road with a cir- si cus of his own. This expanded until ta after the Confederate war it became d so cumbersome to transport about the m rough country in wagons that Robin- b son conceived the idea of carrying it by train. b< It was the first time a circus had U traveled in cars.

Radkal By Dr. Frank Crane As a radical in good and regulax itanding, with all my dues paid, and vith a known and open record, and laving often and publicly made full :onfession of faith, I want to protest igainst the various groups of loud ellows who occasionally drop into neeting and claim they are the only eal radicals and that the likae of me lo not belong. Radical comes from radix or radish >r something like that, meaning root, md a radical, properly speaking, is me who goes to the root of matters. He is supposed not to stop at halfray compromises, to lodge in no op?rtunism9, and not put his faith in atchwords and mob formulae. That, in the language of Superinadent Tobin of the Chicago schools, t me. I am a radical in religion, for I beeve in nothing short of God. I am a radical in Education, for I jlieve in studying the child and bringig out what's in him, and not making im study a set curriculum sa to make im twofold more a humbug than we arselves. I am a radical in politics, for I beeve in democracy, in the U. S. A., ad in the people, and repudiate potical parties?neither will I follow ur be led by them. I am a radical in social questions, >r I believe that the social organism a Growth, and that Socialists, Bolleviks and other Utopian- tinkers are ying to make something by their umsy logic saws and theory hamlers that can only be grown like a ee. I am a radical in taxation, for I elieve in Single Tax as the only syson which is based on honesty and Dt robbery and crooked reasoning. I am a radical in literature, for I ?V A B) A L: DER * ?T SIZE :ne use A Li GOO ! over sewing ig Children's ^ ou can come I buy them so ^ sap.

If soft things took the roughness off the board and transformed in intc a smooth, polished desk top, furniture makers would use velvet instead of sandpaper. If soft materials put a fine cutting edge on a dull knife, the grinder would u3? rubber instead of an emery wheel. Things come easy to a jellyfish. All he has to do is to float along in the current of the ocean tides and absorb the food around him. But he never develops a backbone. Before an enemy he is helpless. A rich man's son may be given a job in his father's establishment, but unless he really knuckles down to work he will never develop initiative, executive ability, power of decision.. There have been thousands of English statesmen, but none accomplished more for the British Empire than Disraeli, Queen Victoria's prime minister. He was a Jew and to attain that office Disraeli was obliged to combat distrust, ridicule, envy and prejudice. Overcoming these handicaps gave strength. He was one of the outstanding characters in English history. iiiiHiiiiiiinimimiiii EAUTIFUL LINE OF CHILDREN'S SLY MADE UP IN SEVERAL PRET JEE THEM IS TO BUY $1.00 t *RGE LINE OF BOYS' KNEE PAN1 FUL BARGAINS.

I Yet how many realize that poisonous substances arc I formed constantly during digestion and the preparation jdHtf*! of the food waste for elimination. If the bowels act regularly and thoroughly, these poi- . sons are eliminated. But if constipation exists, there 1 T results stagnation of intestinal waste, germs multiply; i 1 and poisons are formed and carried by the blood to every cell of the body. The victim of self poisoning commits suicide by inches. Pills, castor oil, laxative waters and salts only fore* and irritate the bowels, and make constipation 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 healthiest habit in the world. Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it. Nujol is sold by all druggists in sealed bottles ooly, bearing Nujol Trade Mark. Write Nujol Laboratories, Standard Oil Co.
