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 stiffened
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, 1unbago,
neuralgia, sprains, bruises, stiff neck,
headache and colds of the chest Git often
prevents pneumonia).

ment in either the army, navy or
marine corps, as a penalty for his
failure to register June 5, Fred
Nelson, 26 years old, is in the city
Jail, the first victim Of the govern
ment's Stacker crusade.
Nelson is a native OF Denmark,
but has resided in this country for
seven years. He stated in making
his selection of jail, rather than
the army, that he knew he would
be alright in Jail, and he didn't
know about conditions in the army.
His reasons for failing to register
were that he was the son of a neu-
tral country, and as he had not pro.
cured his citizenship papers he
thot were exempt from registra-
tion. Three other men were also
arrested for not being registered.

EVERY FUR SEAL HAS HAREM
Male Sometimes Gathers More Than
100 Females on the Section Of
Beach Which He Controls.

Fur seals are extremely p0lygamous
and the old males, which weigh
from 400 to 500 pounds, haul up"
first on the breeding beaches. Each
bull holds a certain area, and as the
females, only one-fifth his size, come
ashore they are appropriated by the
nearest bulls until each "beach mas
ter" gathers harem, sometimes con-
tanning more than 100 members, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Here the young are born, and after
the mating season, the seals which
have remained ashore without food
from A to 8 weeks, return to the wa
ter. The mothers go and come, and
each is able to find her young with
certainty among thousands Of ap-
parently identical woolly black pups"
From the ages of one to four years
fur seals are extremely playful. They
are marvellous swimmers and fr0llc
about In pursuit Of one another now
diving deep and then, one after the
other, suddenly leaplng high above
the surface In graceful curves. like
porpoises. Squlds and fish Of various
species, are their main food. Their
chief natural enemy IL the killer
whale.

GOOD ROADS

What about roads this year2 We
have been unable to find that any
person in this section has any au-
thority to spend . cent on roads,
and badly as road work is needed,
We do not think that q cent has
been spent in this school district
this year. Perhaps it is our fault
that we have not asked for it, but
should we be obliged to ask and
beg for roads. Last year We got
a good deal Of road work, but it was
the first time in our history. Last
year and the year before several
trips were made to Greeley to plead
for road work. Talk about the
taxes we would have to pay II We
had new county. More than one
man in Raymer spent more than
all his taxes amounted to get road
work done in this section, and that
in addition to his taxes. If that 10
the way it has to be done, they will
do it again, but don't blame those
men it they get q notion that per-
haps things would be improved
with a county government little
closer to home.
Tuesday we attended a>meeting
Of the Weld County Commercial
Club at Greeley to consider the
matter of roads.
Each section represented had the
same story, I'VE are not getting
anything"
The Enterprise proposes to dis
cuss the matter Of roads more from
week to week. We are going to at
tempt to bring out the facts so that
we may intelligently criticise and
find out where the fault lies.
No criticism can be intelligent
and accomplish any good purpose
il it 10 not based on facts.
To try to criticise without know
ing the facts, is just simply to kick,
and kicking is harmful. Criticism
10 helpful.
We shall try and arrive at the
facts.

6,02o VOLUMES IN ONE WORK
Encyclopedia Of the Literature ef
China, Covering 20 Centuries, 10
Remarkable Production.

The Chinese department of the Brit
ish' museum library contains q single
work which occupies no fewer than
500 volumes. This wonderful pro-
duction Of the Chinese press was pur.
chased some years ago for 81. 500, and
is one Of only very small number Of
copies now In existence.
It is an encyclopedia Of the litera.
ture Of China, covering period Of %
centuries. It owes Its origin to the
literary proclivities Of the Emperor
Kang-he, who reigned from 1852 till
1722. In the course Of his studies Of
the ancient literature Of his country
Kang-he discovered that extensive cor
ruptions had been allowed to creep In
to the modern editions, and conceived
the Idea Of having the text of the or
iginals reproduced and preserved In
an authorized form.
This was a mighty conception, truly,
and In the execution It remains unique
down to the present time. For the
purpose Of carrying out the work,
kang-he appointed q commission Of
learned men to select and collate the
writings to be reproduced, and en-
ployed the Jesuit missionaries to cast
copper types with which to execute
the printing. The commission was oc-
cupied for 40 years In Its great task.
Before the work was completed
Kang-he died, but he had provided that
bis successor should see the book com.
pleted, and he faithfully carried out
his trust. The book Is arranged In
six divisions. each dealing with par
,dcular branch Of knowledge.

DISLIKE THE TERM "HANDs"
British Writers Suggest Use Of "Work-
ers" to Designate the Toilers
Of Both Sexes.

In England some object to "hands," ,"
meaning "workmen" and wish the lat
ter term to be used. But what Of wom-
en- now doing mems work for the same
pay? A London journal suggests
workers" as single term for both
sexes.
What Is the objection to "handsy'
asks Philip Hale In the Boston Herald.
Hand" and hands were used In ref
erence to an artist, musician, writer,
actor, as well as workman or work
woman. Thus Evelyn In 1914 spoke
Of pictures In miniature painted by
rare hands. Later we read of "a
band Of music consisting Of the best
hands from the opera and both the
theaters."
"Hands" for "workmen" goes back
~ far as 1856. In Olmstead's "Slave
States" We read: "The children be-
GIN as quarter hands,, advancing to
'half-hands' and then to 'three-quar-
ter hands, and finally to full hands. :"
The late Mr.. Mundella objected to
"hands" because the word indicated to
him the disappearance Of the old rela-
tonshlp between master and man.
1--WE employ thousands. We do not
know their faces. They are hands
they are not men," Arnold Toynbee,
social economist, delighted in the term
Because an employer now can buy only
the workmah's "hands; !" ''hIs life is
now his own, to be cherished as d no
BILE independence"
The London Daily Chronicle speaks
Of ''hands" as "Yankeeism." The
term has been used by Englishmen
from the middle of the seventeenth
century.

TESTED THE DENTISTS WORK
khsdlve Of Egypt Had Followers
Teeth Pulled So He Could See
Whether II Would Hurt

To illustrate Oriental habits of
thought, Lord Cromer tells, In the
Quarterly Review. this story Of Ismall
Pasha, the khedive of Egypt. 1t once
happened that Ismail was suffering
from toothache. He sent for Euro
pean dentist, who told him that he
ought to have the tooth out. Ismail
said that he was afraid 1t would be
very painful. He was informed In
reply that. II he would allow the dem
dst to administer laughing gas to him,
he would feel nothing. He still doubt
ed, but told the dentist to bring his
apparatus to the palace and he would
then discuss the question.
The dentist complied, and explained
the process to the khedive. Ismail then
summoned an attendant and told him
to send up the sentry who was ut his
door.
When the man arrived the khedive
ordered him to sit down in chair,
and requested the dentist to take out
Z tooth on either side Of his jaw.
Ismail then asked the man whether
he had felt anything, and the man
told him that he had not. But Ismail
was not yet satisfied. He said that
the sentry was young, strong man,
and that he would like to see the ex-
pertinent tried on someone of weaker
physique.
Accordingly he summoned slave
girl from the harem and had the dem
tist extract two Of her teeth. Find
ing that she did not show evidence Of
extreme suffering, he then consented
to have his own tooth out. 1t Is re-
lated. although possibly that part of
the story is apocryphal, that the DEN
tist then received an order on the
Egyptian treasury for one thousand
pounds.
