FOR SORE THROAT, COLD ON CHEST Mustarine Subdues the Inflammation and Eases the Soreness Quicker Than Anythin); Else on Earth Pay only 30 cents and get a big box of Bogy's Mustarine which is the original substitute for the old fashioned mustard plaster and Is made of strong, real, yellow mustard —no subi stftutes are used. i It’s known as the quickest pain ‘ killer on earth, for in hundreds of in--1 stances it stops headache, neuralgia, toothache, earache and backache in 5 minutes, , It's a sure, speedy remedy—none better for bronchitis, pleurisy, lumbago, and to draw the inflammation from ydur sore feet there is nothing i so good. You get real action with , Mustarine —It goes after pain and kills it right off the reel. Yes, ft burns, but It won't blister —it doesn't ■ give agonizing pain a slap on tlie , wrist. It does give it q good, healthy punch in the jaw—it kills pain. The Fourth Down By I Willie Pent We're pickin' Emerson of Gary to beat Muncie Central in the post sea- : son game at Muncie Saturday by two . or three touchdowns. We're also pickin’ the Decatur Yellow Jackets to win from the Peru Tigers Saturday. Out Os Bounds says that the s voral upsets in dope in ’.lie football games last Saturday reminded him of the\ district basketball tourney h're last spring when Decatur and Bluffton were given the gas. Well, we would not hardly say that that there were any great upsets in the tourney Imre last spring. Bluffton was known 11 be weak and Decatur wasn't any too strong, especially after the gruelling battle with Monroe. Pig Skin, in the Indianapolis News comments on the refusal of tile Fi:r due Exponent to write up the PurdueOhio State game last Saturday, as follows: “There are times when silence is golden and there are times when it is dumb. The Exponent’s niumminess on this game is hardly golden." / After reading the account of the Wilkinson-Peru game at Peru last Friday, one would almost feel like giving the state championship to V.'ilk'n son without a nargument. The \\ 11: Inson team was compared to m mighty Centre College eleven of :i few years ago and also to tile Not, ■' Dame Micks.. Wilkinson does merit a lot of credit, however, since th, high school there is said to number only about 5U pupils. But we don't see how Peru could have entertained any championship hopes before the game with Wilkinson. Manual of Indianapolis beat Peru forty or fifty points earlier in tile season and then Tech beat Manual 52-0. And Tech ’ not so much. Van Wert continues to march. Oar n< ighbors crushed Delphos last Saturday, 37 G and then said they wi re playing “off-form.” Wouldn't it be awful if the Yellow Jackets should put over a win when the two teams meet in Van Wert Nov. 24, after Van Wert has not lost a game all sea son? Sonfewhere back in the fleeing past we rembinber having read a fable of "The Lion and the Mouse." Just sub stitute the word “Tiger" for Lion and "Yellow Jacket" for Mouse and you will have another interesting story. — o —‘ Bank Bandits At Work Youngstown, O„ Nov. 13.—Bandits! today bound and gagged tho teller of the Elm Street branch of the Dollar Savings and Trust company and escaped with $2,000. - • Old Fashioned Tea For Constipation | Brew it Yourself at Home Probably Hie best remedy you can take for clogged up bowels and sluggish liver is one that costs very little and accomplishes much.
