TRY THIS FOR NEURALGIA.

Thousands of people keep ON
suffering with Neuralgia because
they do not know what to do for
it. Neuralgia is a 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 the house-against
Colds, Sore and Swollen Joints,
Lumbago, Sciatiea and like all
mentS. Your money back f..not
satisfied, but it does give almost
instant relief.

Worry kills more people than
work, because more 80 up against

A really skillful woman can
laugh at a pointleSS joke just as

A woman simply has to love
something, even if it is nothing
but a man.
No man is a nonentity unless he
is the husband of a too prominent

A woman likes TO Jolly her huS-
band by telling him he is working

A s ~ ihiOu CdCu
day with apologies for mis-state-
menls made the day previous.
News is the principal thing which
the people pay for when they sub
scribe for any paper, and that is
what we are going to try and give
them.
Count me in as one of the read
erS of The Daily Democrat" said
George w. Thatcher. 81 believe
that you are starting out on the
right foot and will give us a good
paper"
Uncle Dan Miller, of northwest
OF town, is another of the pioneers
and big farmers of the county who
wants a good daily paper in Great
Bend, and is interested in seeing
it success. While in town Sat-
urday attending to business mat
ters and visiting with friends he
called at the Democrat office and
ordered the new daily sent to his
address for a year and also left
some subscriptions to be sent to
some of his relatives. "And III
take a few more subscriptions if
necessary in order TO make the
thing a co." he said in leaving. A
few boosters as good as Mr.. Mil
Ter would make any project, no
matter what il was, a success in
every way. He wants a good To-
cal daily, and we are not going
to disappoinl him.
Wal Dodge was one of the men
who did not need time to think
over whether or not he wanted
another paper. He received a no
tice through the mails of the
starting of The Daily Democrat
and before he even put the notice
in his pocket after getting il out
of the poStoffice, he came TO the
print shop and ordered the paper
sent to his address for one year
and also ordered it for a year for
his daughter, Mrs. Nell Traylor,
at Ration, New Mexico.
81 want three subscriptions TO
The Daily Democrat for a year
each," is the cheerful way in
which Charles Gum, of the Bar
ton County Flour Mills Co. greets
the new project. "There is no
reason on earth why good daily
paper in Great Bend should moi
be big success if you will only
give the real news and give it cor
reclly, and | want to do my share
towards helping along in the mat
ter" As Mr.. Gum is one of the
Barton county men who has made
a big success in his own affairs
we are inclined to believe that his
judgment is good in the matter.
T. H. Brewer, of Pawnee Rock
is another good booster for The
Daily Democrat. In a letter re.
ceived yesterday he enclosed q
check to pay for the new daily W
until January l, 1917, and state;
that he is mighty glad that a
last Barton county is to have {
Democratic daily, and that il
boosting and best wishes on hi.
part will make it a 90 ii will SURE
be a big success.
Henry Meyers was down from
Heizer the last of the week and an
nOunced that he wanted the new
daily sent to his address righ
from the start, and also gave th,
cheering information that larg
number of his neighborS had an
nounced their intention of having
their names put on The Dali!
Democrat subscription list.
Harry Wildgen writes from
HOiSingtOn and enclosed a checI
for years subscription to TIL,
Daily Democrat in advance, whicI
teStifieS to his belief in the futur,

Capt. I. H. Aiken, to whom Jose
Costa, the Mexican light keeper. re-
ported the lack Of Mexican coast lights
yesterday went TO the Pensacola cus-
tom house and there made official
report Of the absence OF the lights

ported to the u. s. photographic Of

Just what steps will be taken tc
have the lights kept trimmed and
burning, was not known yesterday, but
on account Of the need of such lights
it is believed that the United States
government will at least cooperate In
having the coast guarded as 1t should
be.
Unless these very necessary steps are
taken, it was stated oy Captain Aiken
yesterday, there will be a sort of q
ships graveyard" shortly along the

MAY AFFECT RIGHTS

washington. Jan. 26.-The order of
the federal council Of Germany FOR the
seizure Of all stocks Of corn, wheat.
and flour by February ], is construed
by some Of the officials here as likely
to deprive the owners of the cargo
of the American steamship WiIhelmina
of the right they claim to land their
food supplies In Germany. The basis
Of their claim was the declaration that
the grain was not intended for the
German army or the German govern
naent but for non-combatant individ-
uals and therefore not subject to SELF
