Dancer Of Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is Neu-
ralgIa, Stiff Neck, Sore muscles or
sometimes an attack of Rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment,
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the stiffness
and pain leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find one or two applications of Sloan's
Liniment will give grateful relief.
The agonizing pain gives way to a
tingling sensation CT comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep is
possible. Good for Neuritis too.

in free lines to the community in
which it is located. No other
agel.cy can or will do this. The
editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town
than any men, and in fairness he
ought to be supported-not be-
cause you like him or admire his
writings, but because the local
paper is the best investment the
community can make. It may
not be brilliantly edited or
crowded with thought, but fnan.

Sheep are Weed Millers.

Sheep are the great enemies of
weeds, and where sheep can be
turned into a field, or a flock
herded along the roadside, they
will effectively clear up waste
vegetation and in addition the
trampling of their feet will de-
stroy many insects. The sheep
at the same time turn waste ma
terial into mutton and all they
require is a little grain for finish
ing. Frequently when sold they
return profit, but the entomol-
igists hold that even if the mere
ly pay for the extra grain they
eat their function in destroying
weeds and keeping down insects
makes their use well worth while.

Meals in Norway.

Much has been written about
the grandeur of the Norwegian
mountains and fjords, but very
little about the Norwegian meals
These interesting people of the
north are great eaters. They
eat six times a day. The fol-
lowing programme of meals is
somewhat startling:
About eight in the morning a
breakfast of oatmeal, eggs,
bread, cheese and coffee is serv.
ed. At noon, a luncheon of choc-
olate and sandwiches is the rule
At two, an elaborate dinner is
eaten. This consists of soup,
fish, roast, salad and sweets and
coffee. Tea and cakes come at
five o'clock. At eight o'clock
comes the supper comprising
cold fish, cold meats, a chop,
vegetables, cheese. bread and
butter and coffee. At ten the
day is wound up with a repast of
wine and fruit.
Here is a description of the
eight o'clock supper, as given by
a war reporter who recently WIS.,
tied one of the coast cities of
Norway: cat this meal you are
served with salmon and a dozen
varieties of spiced fish. half
dozen kinds of baked and stuffed
fish and patties of fish; roast
duck. roast chickens; platters of
larded beef and spiced hams;
baskets of strange breads, some
of them spiced, and some ur:
leavened. One night / counted
l counted so different dishes on
the table. /"
The viands listed above do not
include such extras as cheese.
salads and nuts. Some of the
supper courses are selfserved.
