DANGERS OF DRAFT

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is Neu.
ralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or
sometimes an attack of Rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment.
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in short time the stiffness
and pain leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find one or two applications of Sloan's
Liniment will give grateful relief. The
agonizing pain gives way to tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for Neuritis too. Price 25c. at your
Druggist-Adyt.

LIVED FOR CENTURY

TT. Dodge, Feb. %. Abraham Bar
ger, bachelor Of Border Plains, is one
hundred years old. He was born in
leap year and missed arrival on the
twenty-ninth of February only by
about ten or twelve days. The happy
event for Mr.. Barger was celebrated
at his present home with his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Henry Barger. OF course
the young old man has none of the pro-
verbal children and grandchildren to
surround him but a goodly number Of
nieces and nephews and cousins and so
on gave every evidence of as deep af
lection for him as his own children
could have. He has always been
known by friends as well as relatives
as Uncle Abe and he has the record
of having always been "a friend to
man."
