How a Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam.
who lives in the quiet. pretty hamlet
of Wendell Depot. Mass, climbed up
into loft to get some building mate
rial. just as many another man living
in the country must often do. Sud-
denly he slipped and fell. Ten feet
below was a pile of wood. knotted
and gnarled 1t was a nasty tumble,
and Mr.. Putnam was injured pain
fully in the back, he was covered with
bruises, and was sore from head to
foot.
The next day he bought bottle of
Sloan's Ltniment which hsd been rec

few hours the soreness had vanished

RUMANIANS RETREAT
ALONG ENTIRE LINE

the entrance of the Teutonic
troops into the capital.
What measure of success has
been attained in this operation has
not yet developed. The ninth
German army is pressing east
ward north of Bucharest at an ap-
parently rapid rate, its main line
OF advance probably being along
the railway line to Buzeu from
Ploechti. The capture of the last
named town, an important rail
way junction point in the center
of theRumanian oil region was eff
fected yesterday, the same day
Bucharest was taken.
Abandon Wallachia
Military commentators in entente
capitals point to the probability that
the actions just prior to the capture
OF Bucharest were fought merely with
view to delaying the advance of Field
Marshal Won MaCkensen's forces and
dIuluS III the escape OF the main BODY
of Rumanians. The capture of
Ploechti, the railway junction thirty
six miles north OF Bucharest, however
may have blocked the retreat OF a part
of the Rumanian forces. This city.
moreover. is in the center of the great
Prahova valley oil district
German opinion is expressed to the
effect that the Rumanians have de-
cided to abandon all of Wallachia,
the main portion of the Rumanian
kingdom, and retire to Moldayia, their
northeastern province. where their
front would be materially shortened
and where they would be in close
touch with the Russians.
The total captures of Rumanians
by the forces of the central powers
since the beginning of the war are re-
ported to have been 100, ,000 men.
100000 PRISONERS
London. Dec. Since the hostih-
ties against Rumania began 100000
Rumanians have been brought to Ger
man prison camps, according to q
Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company quoting the Ber-
lin Lokal AnZeiger. The paper at
tributes to German military authorities
the belief that the Rumanians intend
to withdraw from Moldavia, abandon
ing the whole of Wallachia. BY this
step they would have only a 100-mile
front to defend. The Lokal Anzeigei
reports that prior to its capture Bucha-
rest was nearly deserted and the city
was uninjured.
