INCREASE IN FAMILY BUDGET
FOR MONTH OF MAY
The department of labor an
nounces that the food budget for the
average Americas family reached a
new high record .during May. The
cost of 22 articles of food used in
making up the "retail food index
increased 3 per cent over ths total
cost in April aAii 7 per cent as com
pared with January. Sugar advanced
25 per cent compared with the April
prices; corn meal, 14 per cent; flour
7 per cent and potatoes S per cent.
During the year period from May,
1919, to May, 1920, the greatest in
crease 22 per cent was shown in
Springfield, til., the next greatest in
crease, or 21 per cent, being in Butte
and Chicago. " , . ,
Wholesale prices also advanced
during May, the department's review
shows, the "index" in this case being
2 A per cent over that of April.
"The group of fuel and lighting
materials again furnished the most
notable example of price increases,"
the statement says, "due mainly to
the recent sharp advance in both hard
and soft coal and coke. The index
number of this group rose from 213
in April to 235 in May."
DEAD MAN'S CLUB SUGGESTED
BY SOLDIERS
A dead man's club, composed ex
clusively of ex-service men now liv
ing, but listed officially as killed in
action overseas, is the latest kind of
fraternal organization suggested by
William Wirt of Akron, Ohio.
Wirt is having a hard time trying
to tonvince the government that he
isn't dead and buried in France. His
name now is being chiseled from the
bronze memorial tablet recently
erfected in Akrrfft in a memorial
building. Wirt estimates there are
nearly 2,000 ex-service men now liv
ing whom the war department rec
o.rds show were killed and buried
overseas. He also " declared that
cour trecords show about 900 men
declared officially dead who are still
alive. He suggests that they organ
ize a "Dead Man's Club," and adopt
the slogan, "We may be dead, but
we won't lie down."

WILSON URGES GOVERNOR TO
CALL EXTRA SESSION
President Wilson last week sent a
telegram to Gov. Roberts of Tennes
see, urging that a special session of
the Tennessee legislature be called
to act on the Federal suffrage amend
ment. The President in his telegram
said: "It would be x real service to
the party and to the nation if it is
possible for you under the peculiar
provisions of your State constitution,
having in mind the recent decision in
the Ohio case, to call a special se33ion
of the legislature of Tennessee to
consider the suffrage amendment. Al
low me to urge this very earnestly.'.'
Gov. Roberts has announced that
he would call a special session of the
Tennessee legislature for action on
the amendment in time for the wom
en to vote in the November election.
COST TO PRODUCE THE 1919
CROP $2.15 A BUSHEL
The 1919 American wheat crop
was produced at an average cost to
the grower of $2.15 a bushel, the de
partment of agriculture announced
in making public its recent cost of
production survey, covering fourteen
representative districts of the wheat
belt. The survey further revealed,
the department said, that to permit
a profit on 80 per cent of the wheat
produced on tne farms covered by
the survey the price would have to
be about $2.60. "Dollar wheat,"
once the aspiration of wheat grow
ers, would have paid the cost of pro
duction on only two of the 481 farms
included in the survey.

COAL SHORTAGE NEXT WINTER
IS PREDICTED
A coal shortage next winter which
may curtail production of iron and
steel and seriously affect other in
dustries is foreseen by the Federal
reserve board in its review of busi
ness, industrial and financial condi
tions for the month of May. The sit
uation already is acute in some dis
tricts, according to the board, and
production in many lines is being
Lheld down. Production of coal is be
ing curtailed chiefly as a result of
shortage of cars, the reserve board
reports. It estimated the car supply
at mines in the east at only 30 per
cent of normal. Labor difficulties,
while complicating the situation, are
considered by the board as only a
minor cause of reduced coal produc
tion. No reduction of coal prices is in
sight, the board says.

As Regularly as the Cock Crows
Good health is a tonic that brightens your mornings. It throws a
halo of happiness about your day. It brings you to your task with
a sense of perfect fitness.
And the secret of good health is regular elimination. If you hav'e
a tendency to costiveness, Nujol will help you back to habitual
movements.
Nujol works on an entirely new principle.
Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply sojtens 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, thor
ough bowel evacuation at regular intervals the healthiest habit in the world.
Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it
