Try This For Neuralgia.

Thousands of people keep on
suffering with Neuralgia because
they do not know what to do for it.
Neuralgia is pain in the nerves.
What you want to do is to soothe
the nerve itself. Apply Sloan's
Liniment to the surface over the
painful part-do not rub it in.
Sloan's Liniment penetrates very
quickly to the sore, irritated nerve
and allays the inflammation. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment for %
cents Of any druggist and have it
in Che house against Colds, Sore
and Swollen Joints, Lumbago,
Sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.

RURAL SOCIAL cENTERs

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power.
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
BY Peter Radfcrd
Lecturer National Farmers Union.


The farmer gets more out Of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
nnger moment at few OF the points
Of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress of
the mental giants In mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues Of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story Of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way Of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds Of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is.
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back Of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

The first Englishwoman to have
speech with a sultan of Turkey was
Mary Fisher. a Quakeress. who, in
1857, undertook to convert the COM
mander Of the faithful to Christianity.
She Travelled by water to Smyrna and
then tramped TO AdrianOple, about 600
miles away. where Mohammed Nv. was
encamped with his army. After many
attempts. Mary found some one bold
enough TO tell the grand vizier that "a
woman was come who had something
to declare from the great God to the
sultan" He arranged for an audience
with his master. at which three drago-
mans were in attendance as interpre-
tiers, and Mohammed was so impressed
with what be heard that, while unwill-
ing to become Christian. he desired
that Mary should stay In his domin-
ions When she insisted on returning,
he offered her an escort, adding, II
would not for anything that you should

safely to England and was honored
ever after among her fellow Quakers

EIktcn Marriages Declared Dis
graceful.

The celebrity with which marriages are
performed in Elkton is declared to be
a scandal to the community by the Rev
P. J. Daley, past ,r of the Church or Our
Lady of the Rosary, Sixty-third and
callowhill streets, Philadelphia.
Affairs in Elkton, Maryland, the
latest refuge for runaway couples who
want to get married, have become a
scandalto tile community. said the Rev.
Mr. Daily. '.The church cannot re-
cognize the validity of marriages perform-
ed before civil magistrates or clergymen
without its expressed sanction, and in its
eyes the man and woman who have en-.
tered upon such marriage are living 10
gether clandestinely. This warning has
been sounded from all the affairs Of the
city, but still the runaway matches go on.
The inducements which Elkton sets be-
fore young men and women to rush into
matrimony are disgrace

TRACING cOUNTERFEiTERs.
The Secret Service Agents Have a
Speedily Effective system.


Speedily Effective System.
Some time ago one Of the local
banks caught during the day a coun-
terfeit ten dollar bill. 1t was such a
clever counterfeit it would pass any
body but an expert. The next day ten
or fifteen more Of the bad bills were
found in the city.
Then the governments machinery to
protect its currency began to work.
But there was nothing mysterious
about its working. In the Office OF the
secret service here an official sat all
afternoon smoking and looking at spec
linens of counterfeit currency. Huge
clouds Of smoke rose from his pipe.
That kept up ali day. The reader of
detective tales who believes the secret
service works in a mysterious way
would have been distinctly disappoint-
ed. But at last the pipe dropped from
the lips of the man sitting at the desk
in the federal building with whole
pile of greenbacks In front Of him. He
took up two bills and compared them
carefully, Then he studied them again,
noting every little curve and character
istic mark He stepped to the tele-
phone and called the United States
prison at Leavenworth.
Was james Ward, alias Stewart.
alias Nolan. in prison?'
No. James of the two aliases had
been out six months. Then kilograms
went out to certain officers In certain
cities. How they located James Ward
the government keeps as a secret.
Later the counterfeiter was arrested at
Springfield, H., and his outfit for rails
ing bills was found with him.
And SO another counterfeiter was
caught and put out of business. How
was it done? Simple enough-if you
belong to the secret service. Every
counterfeiter has some distinguishing
characteristic in his work. some little
curve or break in line that gives him
away. The secret service agent com
pared the new counterfeit with dozens
Of old counterfeits. At last he found
the telltale distinguishing Characters
tic. And the rest was easy.
James of the two aliases and a.
counterfeiting device had served three
terms before. So there was plenty of
his samples. Kansas City Times.
