A RAW, sore THROAT
Eases Quickly When You Apply
a Little MuSterole

And Musterole won't blister like the
old-fashioned mustard plaster. Just
spread it on with your fingers. 1t pene-
trstes to the sore spot with gentle
tingle loosens the congestion and draws
out the soreness and pain
Musterole is a clean, white ointment
made with oil of mustard. It is fine for
quick relief for sore throat, bronchitis,
tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck, asthma, nell
ralg1a, headache, congestion, pleurisy,
rheumatism, lu1r1bago, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds on
the chest Git often prevents pneuinonia)
Nothing like Musterole for croupy chill
dren. Keep it handy for instant use.

Park Avenue Tract
Sold; Purchasers
Plan to Develop It

Another realty sale indicating the
development of a large section of up
per Park avenue into dwellings is an
nounced to-day in the sale of the old
Beach farm, comprising about ID
acres, to George T. Oviatt and James
A. Turner of this city.
The acreage, which is just north OF
the greenhouses, was turned loose by
James E. Beach, the former owner.
It's location is ideal for the purpose
contemplated, q frontage of about $50
feet resting on Park avenue with
depth for several streets 1t was
originally part of the 1. Beach farm.
The new owners declare that the
land Immediately will be surveyed
and mapped out, and with the present
sewers, electric light and water privi-
leges, this now vacant section Is like
ly to be thoroughly built by next
summer,

TELL HER AND
SWEE rHEART WHAT TO DO

V. c. X. writes: II am girl past
seventeen, plead for advice. Never
attend dances or amusements. 1 re-
turn home evenings from office, only
to be scolded. Started to work. Three
years ago. Met gentleman. I'VE fell
in love secretly. Saw him days when
he was on business for firm. Janu-
airy we met in car. He asked to keep
me company. Father turned down
this plea. Later we met on street
which I disapprove Of. Rather than
give each other up, we meet. I am
forbidden to go out after work. De-
cided to run away. Know not where.
Please tell me what to do
You are wise and will never regret
it if you get along as your father wish
es a year or two. Do not think of
going away School yourself Alright
and you will never be sorry. Mr..
Right will find you and your life will
be joyous with parents consent.

Warn Buyers of Baled
Hay Against "Facing"

Washington, D. c., Nov. 16.-The
Department. of Agriculture is investi-
eating the practice of some shippers
Of hay Of vepeering or facing the
bales. Veneering consists in feeding
to the baling machine an occasional
forkful of hay that is of higher grade
than the bulk Of the lot being baled
and manipulating the forkful in such
n way that the high grade hay covers
the outside of the bale, making the
bale appear to contain better hay than
it actually does contain. The Ma
tfonal Hay Association has requested
the Department of Agriculture to CO.
operate with it in trying to eliminate
this practice believed to be dishonest.
Buyers Of baled hay are warned to
be on the lookout for this practice in
order to avoid accepting on cur
sorry examination a lower grade Of
hay than they intend to purchase.

TODAY'S POEM
~~~~~-
HOW NATURAL HE LOOKS!

Summers come and later go,
Follows winter, white with snow,
Snow which always has been white
Otherwise would not look right,
Things not large are very small,
Isn't nature natural?
Songsters sing their merry lay.
Streamlets stream along the land.
Blossoms bloom to beat the band,
While the swells of ocean swell,
That makes nature natural.
Flies go flying here and there,
BOOSTERS roost and crows will crow
Sailors sail and glow-worms glow
Breakers break and rollers roll,
Which makes nature naturole.
That makes nature naturel.
Well, I've done my simple song,
Which if right cannot be wrong,
Now, if 1 should not escape,
Black the door up with black crepe,
Let, the editor go free,
All he did was murder me-
Box me in a long pine box,
Lock me in with heavy locks,
Nail the nails in, good and tight,
Jam 'em down, it serves me right,
Underneath the sod, I'll smile,
What makes nature naturile?

Charity Fairs Based on

ents. But from now until spring
most Of the organizations of certain
types find some form of sale a regular
part of their financial program.
OF course these fairs are not based
on sound economics. It would be a
lot cheaper for those who buy, sell
and work, to take out of their pockets
the same amount of money and give
it. You may make up sofa pillow
with material costing 81 and put 81
worth of time on it, and finally sell
it for rs cents. The church workers
exhaust themselves with the labor Of
the thing, and the results are pitifully
meagre.
But for all that. the fairs and sales
take rather 'skillful advantage Of
certain weaknesses of human nature.
And they are not disagreeable work.
Going around with a subscription
paper is the most sorrowful employ
ment known to man. Wherever one
goes the smile of greeting Is changed
to a frown, and you feel yourself
nuisance.
Uneconomic as these sales are. the
same amount of money cannot usual,
ly be raised in any other way. So
licitors could not be found who will
go and see all the people who will
no doubt go on woodworking them
selves, and thinking they are making
money for a good cause by this
amusingly 1eft-handed< method.
Of course of a church or charity
society is run on thoroughly business
like Ines it may get along without
these methods. But after all there
is missed the sociability and friend
Illness of a cause where people work
together for a common end. Strang-
ers find that they can get better ac-
quainted in a week while working for
a fair than they would in a year Of
formal socials.

WOMAN HELD AS
F0RCER IN WEST
RECALLED HERE
Believe to Have Passed
RAISED" Money Orders in
City 10 Years Ago.

Miss Annie Sharpley who borrow
ed $4,000 from wealthy Chicagoans
without security, merely by her pow
ers of persuasion, and who has since
admitted that she was the same Annie
Sharpley who once spent three years
in Federal penitentiary for forging
money orders, is said to have passed
two raised" money orders in this city
10 years ago. Miss Sharpley is the
widow Of the proprietor of a livery
stable and trucking business in Phil
adelphia and after his death she car
ried on the establishment Her man
ager, an English ticket of leave" man
through his dishonesty is thought to
have obtained a hold upon her and to
have taught her to raise the money
orders.
1t was her custom to take an order
issued for rs cents and raise it to s65
or 500. She is said to be the clev-
crest woman forger of money orders
ever in the country. Her handsome
and intelligent appearance usually en-
abled her to pass her raised money
order without suspicion. She OBJ
tanned huge sums of money through
out various parts of the country be-
fore she was arrested and sentenced to
the Federal prison.
!. Miss Sharpley's affairs became pub
lie recently, after she filed a petition
in bankruptcy, scheduling $4,000 in
debts and declaring that her poultry
farm, from which she sol deggs to
, many wealthy families here, had been
sacrificed to her longing to produce
Lights Ahead a play she had writ
ten.
To-day she admitted that her ad-
ly $500, and that she had dealt with
an imposter, who had defrauded her.
Among Miss Sharpley's creditors are
Mrs. T. B. Blackstone, who signed
notes for $4,000 for her, and Her.
| man Cohen, a pawnbroker, who de-
clared he had loaned her $40, 900 with
out security. Cohen finally took over
| the poultry farm as security for s4,-
900 of the loan. After this, Miss
Sharpley borrowed $3.50 from him, he
said, to pay the first months rent.
Miss Sharpley said the money she
| had obtained by her forgeries as well
as the amounts she borrowed in Chi
cago had gone for the support of an
| Englishman whom she had loved in
F.! her girlhood. He had since lived on
the money she had been able to make,
| she said, and as, a Colonel in the
British army was killed recently in
battle in France.
1t is thought that the Englishman is
the manager who aided her in her
forgings years ago.
The same persuasiveness that en-
abled Miss Sharpley to borrow large
tamounts has prevented any of her
creditors from taking action against
her, it was said. Cohen, after lis
tening to her story to-day, announced
that he would stand by her, and Mrs.
M. Blackstone said she believed thor
oughly in her honesty and was pre-
pared to lend her even more money
if necessary. Miss Sharpley said she
could repay the loans If given time.
