Better than a mustard plaster

Once when grandma's joints commenced to pringle and twinge, she used to go to the mustard pot and make a mustard plaster. Now she goes to Musterole and gets relief, but does without the blister and the plaster, too!

My, how good that Musterole feels when you rub it in gently over that lame back and those sore muscles. First you feel the gentle tingle, then the delightful, soothing coolness that reaches in the twinging joints or stiff, sore muscles.

It penetrates to the heart of the congestion. This is because it is made of oil of Mustard and other home simples. And the heat generated by Musterole will not blister.

On the contrary the peculiarity of Musterole lies in the fact that shortly it gives you such a cool, relieved feeling all about the twingey part.

And Musterole usually brings the relief while you are rubbing it on. Always keep a jar handy. Many doctors and nurses recommend Musterole. 30c and 60c jars$2.50 hospital size.

Simple, safe and effective, avoiding internal drugs. Vaporized Cresolene relieves the paroxysms of Whooping Cough and Spasmodic Croup at once; it nips the common cold before it has a chance to develop into something worse, and experience shows that a neglected cold is a dangerous cold. Mrs. Ballington Booth says: "No family, where there are young children, should be without this lamp."

The air carrying the antiseptic vapor, inhaled with every breath, makes breathing easy and relieves the congestion, assuring restful nights.

It is called a boon by Asthma sufferers.

For the bronchial complications of Scarlet Fever and Measles, and as and in the treatment of Diphtheria, Cresolene is valuable on account of its powerful gerinicidal qualities. It is a protection to those exposed.

Cresolene's best recommendation is its 38 years of successful use. Sold by Druggists. Send for descriptive booklet. Try Cresolene Antiseptic Throat Tablets for the irritated throat, composed of slippery elm bark, licorice, sugar and Cresolene. They can't harm you. Of your druggist or from us, 1oc in stamps.

BY THE WAY

Just when explorers were beginning
to think that everything had been discov-
ered and that there were no more worlds
to conquer, the announcement comes that
one of the greatest natural wonders ever
seen has been found in Alaska. It is called
the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes,"
and presents an astonishing scene of vol-
canic activity. Mr. Robert F. Griggs, leader
of the exploring party, says in the February
"National Geographic Magazine :" "If one
could pick up all the other volcanoes in the
whole world and set them down together,
they would present much less of a spec-
tacle, always excepting a period of danger
ous eruption, than does the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes every day in the year."
Adjoining the Valley is the Katmai vol-
cano, called by Mr. Griggs "the greatest
active crater in the world," not excepting
gigantic Kilauea in the Hawaiian Islands.

A correspondent of the London "Sphere"
who was in Petrograd in January of this
year says that prices were then almost
unbelievably high. His figures remind one
of prices in the Confederacy in the later
days of our Civil War. An overcoat, says
the "Sphere" correspondent, cost in Petro-
grad £100 ($500). Boots cost from $150
to $250 a pair. A spool of thread was
$1.50. Lunch cost $5 and dinner $10. "In
the first-class restaurants one could have
wine in spite of its prohibition '-$20 a
bottle for white wine, $60 a bottle for
champagne." Sugar was $5 a pound, flour
$2.50 to $5 a pound, and potatoes 622
cents a pound, while soap was $2.50 to
a cake.

The widespread belief among Moham-
medans that a
man answering General
Allenby's description would break the
Turkish power, which was alluded to in
The Outlook of January 16, is commented
on thus by a British subscriber:
"A
letter from a friend in Cairo, dated Novem-
ber 29, 1917, says: "There is a curious ex-
citement here among the Moslems, for long
ago an old prophet said that when a man
named En-haby should enter Palestine
riding on a white horse the power of the
Turk should come to an end. Now the
Arabic for Allenby is En-haby, and Gen-
eral Allenby rides a white horse."" This
letter, it will be noted, was written before
the fall of Jerusalem.

Commenting on the "adoption" of a
French orphan by a young American
aviator, the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin ""
says:

An aviator's chief business is of course to bring down Germans. When they add to that the bringing up of Frenchmen, they are really doing even more-they are giving a concrete interpretation, a sort of parable, of the American share in the present war.

Bringing down Germans and bringing up Frenchmen" is a business in which we can all help, directly or indirectly, and the "Bulletin "has summed up our duty in a good phrase.

"Silence can sometimes be heard," said one salesman to another, according to the "Typographic Messenger." "How do you make that out?" asked his friend. "I can prove it." "If you can, I will pay for your lunch." "Well, it's this way: Hearing means getting impressions to the brain through the ear. Now you take a boilermaker or a machinist, and talk to him during the noon hour when the shop is quiet. You'll find he can hardly hear you. He is too busy listening to the silence, to which he is not used. Have I earned the

lunch?" "Not exactly," was the reply.
"But I'll
pay for your pie, anyhow."

Some autograph letters of James Russell
Lowell were recently sold in New York.
One of them contains this keen characteri-
zation of Grover Cleveland: "I have been
to Washington, where I saw Mr. Cleve-
land-a dogged man with the neck of a
minotaur, and well fitted, I should for
say,
the rough and tumble fight that is in store
for him. He is of a distinctly American
type and yet in England might easily pass
for an Englishman. I told him that I came
like St. Denis to make my bow to him with
the head he had cut off under my arm,
which seemed to amuse him." Mr. Lowell
had been Minister to Great Britain, hence
the allusion.

A letter from Whistler in the sale referred to above is equally characteristic. In it he tells of the action of the French Government in buying. one of his pictures, while as a contrast another picture was "skied" in London. "Was ever revenge more complete?" he says: "One work received with high honour in the Luxembourg at the very moment that another is Gallery in Regent St. ! hoist with equally high disrespect in a

The stutterer has added to the world's fun since time began. So has the Irishman. Here is a contribution offered by the twain for the amusement of the readers of the "Scottish-American," from which we quote: "His name was Sissons, and he was before the Court. What is your name?" asked the magistrate. "Sss-ss-ssss-ss-,' began the man of many Stop that noise and tell me your name!' exclaimed the magistrate, testily. Sss-ss-ssss-sss'That will do,' growled the magistrate. 'Constable, what is this man charged with?" 'Begorra, yer worship, I think he's charged wid sody-wather!' replied the Court's Irish assistant, earnestly.'

A misplaced linotype slug in the New York "Evening Sun" of March 1, in its report of an archæological theory advanced by Professor Wood Jones, of the University of London, made the scientist say:

In deposits of the same age as those in which the Taigai skull was unearthed were found bones of Savings Stamp campaign, dingo dogs, and also bones of extinct pouched animals gnawed by these dogs. The argument that the Taigai man was of a high order of intelligence is certainly strengthened by the discovery near his skull of remnants of a "Savings Stamp campaign."

A method for ridding Western farmers of the rabbit pest other than by poison is suggested by a resident of North Dakota. His township organized a jack rabbit drive last November. There were two teams of hunters. The drive lasted all day and in the evening a supper was served to the hunters. The team that shot the fewest rabbits paid fifty cents each for their supper; the winners paid only twenty-five cents each. A total of 257 rabbits were killed; these sold for $3 a dozen, and the proceeds of both supper and hunt went to the Red Cross and the Army Y. M. C. A. Good work!
