Chest Colds, Coughs and Sore Throat Go Over Kight Begy's Mustarine is Better than Liniments, Plasters, Poultices or Hot Water Bottles. Does the Work in Half the Time.

Remember the terrible Influenza Epidemic last year. The demand for Begy’s Mustarine was so enormous, that stocks in retail stores and wholesale warehouses disappeared with amazing speed. Get a box now—or two boxes, you can’t tell what will happen. But just as soon as your throat gets sore or you feel that tightening in the Chest. Rub on Begy’s Mustarine. for nothing on this earth will subdue inflammation, and prevent congestion, quicker than this great and first improvement on the old fashioned Mustard plaster. It’s the quickest pain killer known, so be sure when you even suspect pleurisy, bronchitis or tonsilitis, to use it freely. It won't blister not even the tenderest skin —it can not blister. But it's hot stuff, and contains more concentrated non-blistering heat, than any other counter-irritant in existence. That's why it goes right after pains 1

It’s a muddle that needs some untangling and the process will gain real form next year. The efforts of the state administration to defend such a law need an effective rebuke. They have it coming and they are going to get it. -■-J Hl ,!

Nearly three hundred thousand cars are owned in Indiana and this county has their share.

Just I now they are interested in the mapping of additional cross state highways and in this every citizen whether an autoist or not should heartily and enthusiastically join. Dr. 8. B.

Use Begy’s Mustarinc. always in the yellow box. to ea. e the pain of rheumatism and gout. Just rub it on lor lame muscles, sore feet, stiff neck, cramps in leg, | sprains and strains. Get out the box promptly when you have neuralgia. neurit c. lumbago, backache, headache, earache, toothache, or any ache anywhere. , Be sure it’s Bogy's Mustarinei—| made of real yellow mustard and | other pain-destroying ingredients. Druggists announce return of money if it doesn't do as advertised. One box equals 50 blistering Mustard I plasters.

1 LIGHTNING DESTROYS J; BILL NYE’S BIRTHPLACE >f t . It Was One of the Famous Old i Landmarks of Piscataquis « County, Maine. n e I When the old blrthphiee of the American humorist. Bill Nyo, was 1 burned a few days ago at Shirley, Me., >' It blotted out one of the ancient landt marks of Piscataquis county. A late electric shower did its destructive i work. Lightning struck the buildings, I which were owned by Mrs. Dorcas Mitchell, and fire finished the task, ; leaving only smoldering ruins. It was here that Bill Nye cracked 1 his first joke on his parents when, at I three years of age, as he told the I story, he “took them by the hand” and told them that Piscataquis county was no place for them, leading them ’ forth to Wisconsin and the life of , Western pioneers. Thereby Maine lost considerable advertising such as would have accrued to the state had this ; humorist remained in the Fine Tree state. But ho left his birthplaee behind him, and it was this of which the town was justly proud, until now comes the end of the ancient dwelling. It was the old homo of descendants of Benjamin Nye. who founded the family in the new land of freedom, having come from England in 1637. Perhaps the fate of his birthplace in this little Maine hamlet would not be regretted by the humorist were he : alive. For he left directions that his ’ grave in the little cemetery of Arden. ■ North Carolina, should he mark'd by a simple stone. Now there is nothing left of the spot on which he was born up here in Maine save the traditions of the family and a few records in the town’s books.

NEW SAPPHIRE BED Man Declares That He Has Found One in Montana. B. T. Dickinson declares that he has found a sapphire bed near Billings, Mont. He is keeping the location a secret. He says It is within half a mile of the Billings courthouse. He exhibits a handful of gems to prove the truth of his statement. Dickinson says he found the sapphires while prospecting for agate. He said nothing about his discovery until he had had the gems cut and polished in Denver, St. Louis and Cincinnati. The man who cut the last batch thought one of the stones so beautiful he bought it for himseif. Montana sapphires after being cut make brilliant jewels. The demand for them has greatly increased since the war. They command good prices and if Dickinson’s mine turns out arich as he describes he has a fortune in sight. “It is easy to tell rough sapphires when you find them,” said Dickinson. They are white, covered with a thin coating of a substance that looks like lime. When you look through them against sunlight you catch blue flashes and something seems to move inside of them. You are apt to find them on high land or in the bottom of little coulees." Lazy Husbands Rounded Up. A round-up of “lazy husbands" is threatened at Yakima, Wash., by local officials. Washington state has a law which puts lazy husbands at work md gives the families of such men their earnings. Officials say the coun- | ty is so plagued with men liable for prosecution under the law that a round-up will soon start. One case ! . ,I’tted hero was a husband who rode , around the reservation in an automo- I bile while tile wife drove a hayrack ' toy » laborer's wages.

Cannot Praise this Remedy too Highly THE WAY OHE LADY FEELS AFTER SUFFERiftd TWO YEARS Judging from her letter, the misery and wretchedness endured by Mrs. Charlie Taylor, R. F. D. No. 1, Box 144, Dillon, S. C., must have been terrible. No one, after reading her letter, can continue to doubt the great healing power of PE-RU-NA for troubles due to catarrh or catarrhal conditions in any part of the body. Her letter is an inspiration to every sick and suffering man or woman anywhere. Here it is: “I suffered twd years with catarrh of the head, stomach and bowels. Tried two of the best doctors, who gave me up. I then took PE-RU-NA and can truthfully say I am well. When I began to use PE-RU-NA, I weighed one hundred pounds. My weight now is one hundred and fifty. I cannot praise PE-RU-NA too highly, for it was a Godsend to me. I got relief from the first half bottle and twelve bottles cured me. 1 advise all sufferers to take I PE-RU-NA.” As an emergency remedy in the home, there is nothing quite the equal of this reliable, time-tried medicine. PE-RU-NA. Thousands place their sole dependence on it for coughs, colds, stomacn and bowel trouble, constipation, rheumatism, pains in the back, side and ‘ loins and to prevent the grip and Spanish Flu. To keep the blood I pure and maintain bodily strength I and robu. Hess, take PE-RU-NA. - You can buy PE-RU-NA anyi -.here in either tablet or liquid I form.
