NERVjUi BREAKDOWN
Stamford, Conn, Nurse Tells How
She Found Health.

Stamford. Conn am nurse

not sleep at night, and nothing seem
ed to help me- BY chance l heard of
Ninol, and after taking the first bot
tie | noticed an improvement, and
four bottles made me well and strong
it gave me a hearty appe tite, so
can sleep soundly night or day.
consider Vinol a wonderful tonic -
Edith X. Forbes, Stamford, Conn.
The reason why Vinol is so success
full in overcoming such conditions is
because it is a constitutional remedy
and goes to the seat of the trouble. 1t
is the greatest strength creator we
knOw-due TO the beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese pepton-
ates and glycerophosphates which it
contains, all dissolved in pure medi-
cinal wine
We have seen so many wonderful

DOES RHEUMAT ISM

Many Doctors Use Musterole

So many sufferers have found relief
in Musterole that you ought to buy a
small jar and try it.
Just spread it on with the fingers. Rub
it in. First you feel gentle glow, then
a delicious, cooling comfort. Musterole
routs the twinges, loosens UP stifened
joints and muscles.
Musterole is clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. 1t penetrates
to the seat of pain and drives it away,
but does not blister the tendercst skin.
1t takes the place of the mussy, old
fashioned mustard plaster.
Musterole is recommended for bron-
chitis, Group, asthma, pleurisy, lumbago,
neuralgia, sprains, bruises, stiff neck,
headache and colds of the chest Git often
prevents pneumonia).

Trash as a Fire Breeder.

Insurance Superintendent Nesbit, in
an interview printed in yesterdays Star,
notes the fact that the accumulation of
rubbish constitutes a fire menace in
every city. Washington. with its com
paratively low fire risk, is no exception
in this respect and many blazes are at
tributable to the trash pile Thus the
cleanup work which has been in prog
ress for several days aims at more than
sanitation and attractiveness. 1t is
movement in behalf of physical safety,
and the preservation of property.
A trash pile is an invitation to fire.
A carelessly discarded match or cigar
cite or cigar stump finds in it an ideal
smoldering place. Usually the trash pile
is in some out of the-way corner, where
it will not be conspicuously in evidence.
Thus the smoldering fire has chance
to gain Roadway before it is observed
The trash pile is an obvious evidence of
negligence. Good housekeeping, on resi-

The Position of Greece.

Although Ncnizelos. late premier of
the subject of the position of Greece in
the present war specifically disca
talking ''in any sense of the possibility
of a republican Greece" his argument is
certainly calculated to arouse the demo
cratic spirit of the Greek people as
against the alien monarchy. He def
nitely challenges the divine right OF
kings in Greece The Greek rulers are
of an imported stock. the late King Con
stantine having bccu brought from Den
mark. with an alien wife, and his son.
the present ruler. having married the
sister of the Emperor of Germany. Thus
there is no Greek blood in the roNal tam
lily of Greece. and hence the challenge
of Venizclos on the score of divine right
appeals to Hellenic spirit. Practically
the purpose to test the Greek govern
mcnt'S present position as a neutral. No
indication is given as to the method by
which this test is to be applied. The
government is in possession OF the cleo
toral machinery. and although there is a
heavy majority on popular vote against
il and in support of Ecnizclos 1t Is prac-
tically impossible in the present dis
turbed conditions with the army mohll-
lied. to obtain an electoral verdict. The
declaration of NcniZclos emphasizes the
fact that the Greek government Is act
ing virtually by mltocratlc power and
without popular support. and unless
some action is taken by The allies which
will inflame the public feeling and make
for general resentment against them the
government at Athens is likely to find
itself increasingly embarrassed, not
merely by the presence of the allies on
Greek soil but by the lack of the sym
pathy of the people.
