progress is already discernible to the!
casual view of the passenger who!
rides through our fertile lands on the
Seaboard, and a recent passer-by, Ed
itor Wade H. Harris, of the Charlotte
Observer, was moved to this com

A
cert a
agemrnt over the crop outlook. There
is not so much evidence in that coun
ty that the season is as much as one
month late, for the intensive system
of farming In vogue in Union has
brought the backward crops rapidly
to the front. Corn and cotton are
"looking well," to use a common ex
pression, but in fact they are looking
more than well. They are looking
fine. The fields are clean of grass
and the plants are of vigorous and
healthy growth. The Union County
farmers, furthermore, have brought
their soil Into a much greater resem
blance to the pulverized character of
the land further down the Seaboard.
There is an absence of clods, even
in the red clay sections, and the av
erage farm shows Indications of hav
ing been placed in a high state of
cultivation. Tho Farm Agent and
Demons! rater has been always held
In favor by the people of Union Coun
ty, and not only have they made not
able advancement in scientific farm
ing, but they have made great prog
ress In grain, grass and cattle-growing.
Union has gained a reputation
already at one of the most advanced
dairying counties in the State. But
Mecklenburg people who may want
to see the results of modern methods
in practical demonstration have only
to take a spin into the adjoining coun
ty of Union.

Back of his energy is' sound health, and back cf his health is self
discipline that provides for regularity in habits cf eating, exercising
bowel elimination.
It is largely this freedom, from intestinal -poisons that keeps him
young; that leaves him free to pursue his aims with mind unclouded
and energy unimpaired.
Such health is out of tne question for you as long as you are consti
pated. And laxative and cathartic pills only aggravate and confirm
the constipation 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 intes
tines, 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.
