C, April 22, 1921 Editor The Commonwealth; My dear Sir: Please allow me space in your good paper to call the attention of your readers to . a matter which I am sure very few have thought of, and wiien once called to their attention, they will show that the people of Scotland Neck still know how to do a thajpfc just as they have always done. First, let me say that with the most excellent editorial work of yourself and the active business management of your publisher, Mr. Clee Vaughan. you have' given to the people of the town a most excellent paper, wThich 1 am sure we all appreciate. For some days past, your publisher, Mr. Vaughan, has been under a Heavy strain on account of the serious illness of his wife, which we all regret very much and ; he has our deepest sym pathy. Now it has occurred to me that a newspaper like all other enter prises must have money to exist on and now, while Mr. Vaughan can not possibly give his attention to his sub csription list and collect for the paper, don't you think it would be a good idea for our people to rally to our friend and call at your office and make settlement for all that they are in arrears and also for a year or an least six months in advance. Of course, Mr. Vaughan is not asking any one for help and has absolutely no knowledge .that this letter is being written and published, but even if that were the ease, our peorde would not hesitate. to raise five hundred dol- The doctor can't help it, Hie knows that the man has ; hard ar teries, high blood pressure, and the beginning of kidney . and heart disease, due to long neglected, chronic constipation. It isn't the other man's fault directly. He never realized that constipation was a serious thing. Year in and year out he has taken pills, castor oil, mineral waters and salts and now he wonders why his health is so bad. Nujol is for just such cases as this. It 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. . ; f : Nujol thus pcevents constipation because it helps Nature main tain easy, thorough bowel movements 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 only, bearing Nujol trade mark. Write Nujo! Laboratories, Standard Oil Co.

In stores news and large number ;oing around, to the various each morning gathering the personals we have noted a of out-of-town shoppers mentioned and it seemed to us that this was rather notable. We asked a merchant this morning if he had not noted these buyers were increasing. He said it was a fact and a very pleasant one, as they always buy for cash and it brings that much addi tional money into the town. This means one of two things; that the stores in Scotland Xeck have gained a reputation for carrying a line of goods superior to those in other places, or that the merchants in other towns are not buying and furnishing tricir customers what they want.
