When you are constipated,
not enough of Nature’s lu-
bricating liquid is produced
in the bowel to keep the food
waste soft and moving. Doc-
tors prescribe Nujol because
it acts like this natural lubri-
cant and thus secures regular
bowel movements by Nature’s
own method—lubrication.
Nujol is a lubricant—not a
medicine or laxative—so cannot

is In Crown Hill cemetery, Indianapo-
lis. He was the son of I. T. Canby,
who was a candidate for governor of
Indiana in 1828. He was born in Ken-
tucky In 1819 and spent his boyhood in
Indiana. He was graduated from West
Point In 183b and served in the Semi-
nole war (1839-42). His work in the
Mexican war (1846-7) made him lieu-
tenant colonel. He next served on the
Utah expedition (1857-60) and the cam-
paign against the Navajo Indiana
(186061). In the Civil war he was In
command of the department of New
Mexico (1861-2); of New York during
the draft riots of 1863; of the depart-
ment west of the Mississippi (1864-5).
He then entered the regular army as
brigadier. He served as military gov-
ernor of South Carolina (1868) and af-
terward commanded the Division of
the Pacific.
General Canby met his death April
IL 1873, near Slskyou, Cal., at. the
hands of the Modocs of the Lava
Beds. After much fighting a peace
commission met Captain Jack and hla
chiefs. Jack demanded to be allowed
to remain on Lost River. Canby re-
fused. Jack shot Canby dead and hla

“My baby suffered from colic for
three months and I was afraid I was
going to lose her,” writes Mrs. A. J.
Tolbert, of Holley, Fla., “but she soon
got over It when I gave her Teethlna,
and now I will never be without it, for
I give It to both my little ones and
it keeps them weil.“
Colic is a very common complaint
with babies and If not corrected in
time often leads to more serious dis-
turbances. Twthlna corrects baby’s
indigestion, relieves distress due to
an overloaded stomach, cleans out the .
bowels and regulates the system.

oratories, Columbus, Gs„ and receive

1,000 Surplus
expenditures for 1922, Director Lord
said. Indicated a reduction In 1923 of
more than >200,(XX),(XX).
Customs receipts and Internal reve-
nue receipts since January 1 have been
considerably above the estimates
which had been made by the Treasury
department. Customs payments have
established new records and the In-
come and profits taxes for the first
quarter were more than >50,000,000
over the estimates.
In view of this the administration la
preparing to recommend moderate tax
reductions to the next congress, it was
stated.
The recommendation will include re-
vision of the income tax rates In the
“middle brackets" on Incomes above
>5,000 a year and below >50,000. The
normal rate, affecting Incomes below
>5,000, probably will not be reduced.
Some means will be sought of shav-
ing the taxes now Imposed on business.
Just how this will be worked out has
not been decided, as administration
leaders say It will have to be handled
carefully because of the drive that will
be made for re-enactment of the ex-
cess profits tax.

<a GAVEL In the hands of a
judge has been substituted
/ for a tomahawk in the hands
of a brave by the great
Sioux nation in Its fight to recover
■bout >750,000,(XX) from the federal
government as payment with Interest
for lands and property taken from
them by the palefaces years ago. Of
the total demanded, more than $500,-
000,000 represents Interest.
The suit of the Sioux, said to Involve
the largest sum ewer sought through
judicial action, Is filed In the United
States Court of Claims, counsel an-
nounced, and specifies 40 separate
counts.
The claims date back to the days of
the gold rush In the Black Hills of
South Dakota, Sitting Bull, General
Custer, the Little Big Horn, old Fort
Laramie, Wounded Knee, Red Cloud,
Spotted Tall, Chief Gaul, the White
River Trail and other historic persons
and points of interest.
The Sioux contend that the United
States has left undone many things
provided for In the treaties of 1851 and
1868, that millions of acres of their
tribal lands were taken from them,
their game slaughtered and their po-
nies and tepees seized, and their funds

I deavor to show gratitude, Pres-
1 ident Harding directed the War
department to ascertain the
burial place of Gen. Edward R. S. Can-
by, an officer in the Union army during
the Civil war. The President acted
upon receipt of a letter from Charles
Hall, an aged attorney of Bay Mln-
nette, Ala„ who wrote that he wanted
to place a wreath on the grave of Gen-
eral Canby.
“General Canby was in command of
the Federal army at Fort Blakely, in
Baldwin county, Alabama,” the Alaba-
man wrote the President. “The Con-
federate soldiers at Fort Blakely sur-
rendered to him on April 9, 1865. On
the morning ot April 15, 1865, General
Canby was in Fort Blakely and on that
day my father and I went to Blakely
to see General Canby to ask him for
something to eat, as everything my fa-
ther owned at that time was destroyed
by the Federal soldiers. We went into
Blakely In a one-horae wagon and Gen-
eral Canby had the wagon filled with
the bate kind of food.

Sioux Sue Uncle Sam for 750 Millions
spent Improperly by the government.
They demand >156,000,000 and Inter-
est for the Black Hills and surround-
ing territory, charging that the United
States, aware of that area’s wealth in
gold, connived in Its seizure by armed
force in 1874 and 1875.
The suit will specify a price of >100
an acre for the gold-bearing land, on
which one mine has produced hundreds
of millions of dollars’ worth of the min-
eral. The price of $50 an acre will be
asked for the timbered area now in-
cluded in the Black Hills forest re-
serve.
An accounting by the United States
under all tte treat’es with the Sioux
and the acts of congress affecting their
property will also be demanded. It be-
ing charged that the government has
defaulted in Its written promises and
failed to perform Its solemn obliga-
tions.
About twenty-five thousand Individ-
ual claimants are Interested In the
suit, according to counsel for the In-
dians, and It is Intended through the
action “to settle all the long-standing
disputes between the Sioux and the
United States." The attorneys esti-
mated It would take from five to ten
years to try the case In the Court of
Claims and in the Supreme court.

Lord Has Hope of $60,
-W-ASHINGTON. — Prediction
/ of a treasury surplus ot
Y W WO.IOO.UOO for the fiscal
year ending June 30 1s
made by General Lord, director of the
budget bureau.
When original estimates of receipts
and expenditures were ulade by treas-
ury officials the statement was made
that a deficit of as much as >700,000,-
000 might be faced. This was cut
down In later estimates, and in the
most recent statements the prospective
deficit was put at >100,000,000 to >200,-
000,000, the hope being expressed,
however, that ways and means would
be found to wipe it out and balance
the budget.
In predicting that the threatened
deficit would be turned into a surplus,
Director Lord said that this was con-
tingent upon economy in and a contin-
uance of the customs and internal rev-
enue receipts at the present high rate
until the end o* the fiscal year. He
now estimates that the customs re-
ceipts for the year will total $540,000,-
000 and that the internal revenue re-
ceipts will reach $2,615,000,(MX).
A comparison of the estimated ex-
penditures for the year 1923 with the
the eye Is not able to detect the Indi-
vidual colors.
If, however, the light reflected to
the eye from some of the colored {•arti-
cles can be eliminated the khaki ap-
pears to have changed In color. This
effect can be produced by ray filters,
pieces of colored glass which absorb
certain colors and transmit others.
Thus if a khaki color produced by a
blend of red, orange and green Is
viewed through a methyl violet ray fil-
ter It will appear red.
From this It is evident that in the
selection of a protective color for army
uniforms It Is just as Important to
consider the color of each of the vari-
ous dyes used as it is to consider the
protective value of the resulting blend,
since a small percentage of a brilliant
dye In the blend may render an other-
wise protective color readily visible
when viewed through a suitable ray
filter. -
The Germans have been working on
this problem also and have reached
what appears to be at least a partial
solution in the use of a doth woven
with different colored threads. The
blend thus produced apparently Is not
readily broken down by the use of ray
filters.

“War Is H—1”; Men See Red Everywhere
p ■ ^HE khaki uniform of the army
may have to be changed as a
result of experiments now be-
ing conducted by the chemical
warfare service of the army.
When the British eliminated the red
coat and adopted the khaki color for
their fighting uniform It was assumed
that their troops were thus rendered
less visible to the enemy. This Is still
true, If the khaki Is viewed with the
naked eye, but recent studies of color
have resulted in binoculars which ren-
der some khaki just as visible as the
discarded red coat. In fact, some khaki
and even olive drab, experiments have
shown, appear bright red when seen
through field glasses fitted with suit-
able ray filters.
The reason for this Is clear when one
realizes the manner in which khaki
color is produced and also the effects
which may be obtained by looking at
colored objects through suitably col-
ored pieces of glass.
The dye used to produce the khaki
color Is a blend of a number of dyes,
such as red, orange and green. In
which each color Is present tn the
fabric aa an individual. The particles
at tb« various colors are. however, so
minute and so Intimately mixed that
