ut struck me in the back and extend
ed from the hip of my right leg down
to my foot. The attack was so severe
that | could not move in bed and
was afraid that l should be cripple
for life.
About 10 years ago I received a
sample bottle of your Liniment but
never had occasion to use it, as l
have always been well, but some
thing told me that Sloan's Liniment
would help me, so l tried it. After
the second application l could get
up out of bed. and in three days
could walk. and now feel well and
entirely free from pain.
my friends were very much sur
prised at my rapid recovery and I
was only too glad to tell them that
Sloan's Liniment was the only med

Thirty-seven Treaties Approved.

Washington-With little discussion
and less publicity, the United States
Senate has at this session placed its
approval of thirty-seven treaties
more in number if not in Importance
than had been ratified during the twen
ty years preceding.
Twelve nations have agreed by
treaty with the United States to ar
bitrate future disputes, which is taken
to mean nothing less than the world
has now been established on the plane
of arbitration.
The territory available as asylum
for the fugitive from justice has been
further restricted through eXtradition
treaties with Spain, Portugal, Uruguay
and San Marino, while naturalization
treaties have been concluded with
Peru, Salvador and Portugal.
The gain for arbitration is regarded
as n distinct victory for American dip
lomacy, initiated by the Instructions
to the American delegates to the
Hague conference. The result so far
is the approval of general arbitration
treaties with Great Britain. Japan,
France, Italy, Spain. Switzerland, Mex
leo. Portugal. Netherlands, Sweden
and Denmark.
Besides the general arbitration
treaty, eleven of the treaties result
ing from the Hague conference were
approved.

cities in the West is being held by the
Interstate Commerce commission II
involves the rates charged by various
express companies for the transporta-
ton of express matter both east and
west from points in the Middle and

The case is that of George J. Kin
dell of Denver against the Adams ES-
press Company and other express COM
panies, in which the complainant al
leges that the express rates from Den
yer to San Francisco and from Den
yer to points east are unjust. excessive
and discriminatory against Denver.
Mr.. Kindei showed that the rate per
100 pounds from New York to San
Francisco was $3.50. while the rate
from Denver TO San Francisco was So
per 100 From other points in the
west to points furt-er west and to
points in the east the rates indicated
the same sort OF alleged discrinina-
ton The complainant is seeking to
have the commission adjust the rates

There is no truth whatever in the

casion for such rumor. and it is en-
tirely without foundation. We expect
to go on with the smelling business
as before. Harry Guggenheim. my

business, and cousin named Edmund
is making study of smelling at Salt

RADIO. After comforting with Franklin
Guiterman here yesterday. Robert Gug-
genheim said this was scarcely prob
able at present. although there is a
possibility that it will be done later.
Many of the big copper mines op-
Grated in Utah are to be reopened soon,
and these will be handled at the Gar
field smelling plant. This will crowd
the capacity Of the plant to a great
extent, but Mr.. Gusgenheim gives it
as his belief that the Garfield plant
will be able to handle the ore.
If the Garfield plant should not
prove of sufficient capacity TO handle
all the ore sent 1t. We might either
enlarge that plant or open the smell
tiers in Denver" he stated. The smell
tiers here have been out of operation
for some time. but have not been en-
tirely dismantled.'
The Utah Consolidated Copper Com
pany will begin shipping its ores the
middle of this month. and just what
its output will be cannot be stated at
present The Garfield plant is expected
to develop capacity of 5000 tons per
day. and IL is ultimately expected to
produce an output OF l00. 000. 900 pounds
of copper per year. Copper can be
produced there very cheaply, at cost
OF about S cents a pound.

upon in order that the commissioner

Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is

thickness. which not. only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
