LATEST FAD FOR
BORDER BOYS TO
HUNT FOR BONES
Gruesome Relics From Early En-.
gagements With Outlaws
). Found
EBONY HUNTING HAS
BECOME HOMOGENEOUS

Mercedes, Texas, Dec. 26.-Hunting
for ebony wood has grown rather
monotonous for some of the boys with
the First North Dakota infantry, sta
toned here, and Of late they have
been searching through the chaparral
for the bones OF dead Mexican out
laws, slain or executed during the
border trouble which preceded the ar
rival of state troops.
Very little pains were taken to care
for the bodies Of Mexicans In the
wild days along the Rio Grande. As
a result the searchers in khaki have
not had a great deal Of difficulty In
securing some gruesOme relics from
the border.
This week Corporals Stanley Ed
wards and Carroll Johnson and Pri-
Yates Goodrie and Jordan of Com
pany M, Grand Forks, came upon
what remained. of the skeletons OF
two Mexican bandits who were killed
by rangers, near Mercedes, about one
year ago. The skulls Of the dead men
had already been carried away by
souvenir hunters, but the North Da-
kotans came proudly back to camp
with several ribs, arm and finger
bones and parts of the vertebrae.
But, the fad of rounding up all the
available ebony wood in this portion
of the Rio Grande valley has by no
means worn off, and in the quarters
of every company Of the First North
Dakota the boys are daily to. be seen
working like beavers making some
handsome trophies for Christmas gifts
in the form Of canes, swagger sticks
paper weights and other articles.
Many of these homemade" pieces
have been ingeniously set with Mexi.
can coins and Mexican Opals by the
boys.
Now that the daily drill has been
cut down to two and 0ne-quarter
hours, the boys have plenty time on
their hands, much OF which they
spend whiting away on the sticks
of ebony.
Border towns are filled with swag.
ger sticks and an up-to-date soldier
feels lost without one.

DOES RHEUMATISM
BOTHER YOU?
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 stiftened
joints and muscles.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. 1t penetrates
to the seat of pain and drives it away,
but does not blister the tenderest skin.
1t takes the place of the mussy, old
fashioned mustard plaster.
Musterole is recommended for bron-
chitis, Group, asthma, pleurisy, llmbago,
neuralgia, sprains. bruises, stiff neck,
headache and colds of the chest lit often
prevents pneumonia).
