Who by taking thought to himself can add one cubit to his stature?" spoken in the Holy Word down through centuries, has been answered by Sailor Scotty,' one of Uncle Sams middies, after more than 2000 years. For the sailor boy, who calls himself "The Human Telescope and "The Man Who Crows" not only can add to his height one cubit, but more.
 Sailor Scotty" who has served his four years in the navy on the U. S. $. Colorado, carries inducements from learned surgeons, scientific authorities and athletic directors in all parts of the country, before whom he has given exhi- bitions of his marvellous muscle control. Practically every professor of anatomy in the United States recognized as an au- thority has added his indorsement to the instructive results obtainable through the private exhibitions which Sailor Scotty' has given throughout the land, and will continue to give until his re-enlistment i'll the naval service.

RELIEVE HEADACHES
 WITHOUT DOSING By Applying Sloan's Liniment to Forehead You Can Stop
 the Severe Pains

Many headaches are of a neuralgia origin. The symptoms of such head aches are intense and lingering pains in the brow, temples or back of the head.
 There is one certain relief that has been known and recommended for years back, Sloan's Eminent. One ap- plication and the dull pain is practi- cally gone. It is easily applied with out rubbing. Rubbing is unnecessary, as Sloans Eminent quickly penetrates to the seat of trouble.
 Aching muscles, rheumatism, bruises, lumbago, chilblains, sprains and stiff neck can also be most effec- lively treated with Sloan's Eminent. Cleaner than mussy plasters or oint- ments; 1t does not stain the skin or clog the pores.

Cooperage Started Up.

The Cooperage Company has star.
ted making kegs and is putting out
about FIVE hundred day already.
The plant is putting out good keg
this year and It would be a good
boost for the county if the fishermen
would insist on using the home
product. AS far as we can learn
their kegs are as easy to handle as
any, and better then some made
elsewhere.
The plant is good asset to this
community, and the county, and is
a convenience to the fishermen along
the shore, as they are always sure OF
getting kegs when they need them
Tie success of the plant depends
on the fishermen, and it seems that
they could do the county, as we'll as
themselves, agreat service by insist
ing that the different dealers handle
