1846 SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OF HAVE MADE THIS REMARK- 1921 ABLE PROGRAMME POSSIBLE JOHN GALSWORTHY'S NEW NOVEL "TO LET" GALSWORTHY'S writing of fiction is a serious career and a constant development. The social phases through which England and the world are passing are of intense interest to Galsworthy. This new novel takes up some old friends from previous novels and many new characters. The fact of Mr. Galsworthy's acquaintance with America makes what he has to write of unusual importance. JOHN GALSWORTHY WHEN THE AUTHOR OF "HOME, SWEET HOME" WROTE A PLAY IN A DEBTOR'S PRISON Nothing can be more pathetic or in its situation more dramatic than John Howard Payne, who wrote the mostloved song in our language, sitting in a debtor's prison in London just one hundred years ago trying to write a play from a French original that would pay his debts and give him again his freedom. In his beautiful handwriting, clear, precise, and in carefully chosen English, the distressed author sets down the progress of his play, the troubles with the managers and actors, the difficulties of rehearsals, the anxiety to procure permission to attend the rehearsals of his own play. This authentic document of a real experience would be pathetic as fiction; as reality it is profoundly tragic. THE NEW WOMAN OF JAPAN By Emma Sarepta Yule. The author writes: "I am just back from my trip looking up the 'new woman' in Japan, Korea, and China. I found more going on in feminism than I had expected. It is a serious and, in Japan, an aggressive, even militant, movement." These papers are not from a casual traveller, but from a resident in the Far East, a professor in the College of Agriculture at Los Banos, and a trained observer. WHAT IS ON THE MIND OF THE ENGLISH WORKMEN? There has recently appeared a striking volume, much commented on, entitled "What's on the Worker's Mind," by Whiting Williams. The author, who had experience as an officer in an important steel company and left it to investigate these conditions by working himself in various mills and factories in this country, is now repeating the experiment in England. He is getting at the heart of the English workman. He has found, for instance, an admiration among them for "American bosses." His observations on beer-drinking for the workman versus prohibition are most pertinent at this time. There has been no such record since Wyckoff's "The Workers.” CAPTAIN RAYMOND RECOULY IN CZECHO-SLOVAKIA Captain Recouly, the author of "General Joffre and His Battles" and "Foch, the Winner of the War," cables from Prague that he has just finished a journey in Central Europe, through Czecho-Slovakia, along the frontier of Poland, and through the most picturesque parts of the Carpathians., He will describe the possibilities of the new republic. No better observer of conditions in a new country can be found than this brave soldier, who be fore the war was a diplomat and journalist of distinc tion. My Brother THEODORE ROOSEVELT BY CORINNE ROOSEVELT ROBINSON THE SISTER OF COLONEL ROOSEVELT has spoken scores of times, particularly before young children, about her brother and his views on the right kind of good Americans. Now she has set down the intimate personal recollections of her brother from nursery days until he became the leading citizen of the world. “I want to write my own recollections of him," says Mrs. Robinson, "our talks together all his life, our personal letters. My view of him in the book is THE GREAT SHARER, giving his life and the best that was in him to his family, his friends, and the country.' This remarkable narrative will run through SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE, beginning in the January number. MAJOR E. ALEXANDER POWELL Major Powell, who has been in every war for the last twenty years as correspondent or as officer, and in times of peace has travelled in many strange countries, recently returned from a "Motion-Picture Expedition in Malaysia." His narrative has all the variety of scene and the supply of odd characters and situations that make the charm of a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan or George Ade. The narrative will be fully illustrated with pictures made from the films. AT How Constipation Follows a Derangement of the Mechanism, and How It Can Most Effectually be Relieved T the rear of the abdomen lies a great “plexus” or nerve center that works in a manner similar to a telephone central switchboard. It receives messages from nerves in various regions of the body and transmits them to minor nerve centers or 'ganglia," which directly act on the muscles to be stimulated. Its principal function is to keep in operation various mechanical processes, of which the most important is the proper elimination of food waste. The presence of food waste in the colon ready for discharge causes a message to pass to this plexus. The plexus immediately forwards this message on to the smaller nerve centers which directly control the muscles of elimination in the walls of the colon. Constipation results from failure of the colon muscles to respond to orders. These muscles may fail because the waste matter in the colon is hard and dry, or because of reaction from over-stimulation created by salts, pills, castor-ol, mineral waters, etc. They are fired out" and unable to respond-just as a jaded horse can no longer respond to the whip. Nujol, unlike cathartics, works only on the waste matter and not on the system. It does not stimulate or harm, and therefore is the safe and rational treatment for constipation. Nujol simply softens the food waste and keeps it at the proper consist ency, making it easy for the muscles to pass it from the body in then not mal way. In the same process if te lieves the nerves of over exertion and enables them to rest, Nujol actually prevents constipation because it helps nature maintain cast, thorough bowel evacuation at iegulat intervals the healthiest habit in the world. It does not cause haubed of griping, nor interfere with the day a work or play. Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it OUPON |
