DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result in
neuralgia, stiff neck, sore muscles
or sometimes an attack of rheuma-
tism. 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 suf-
fering from neuralgia or neuralgia
headache will find one or two appli-
cations 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 neu-
ritis too. Price 25c at your drug
gist.

cones. Johnnie Copeland was es-
pecially popular with all the little

stick of candy, however, while Daisy
Snyder was voted to be the cutesi
little girl present.
