HOW GOOD THAT
MUSTEROLE FEELS F.!
1t Gets to That Sore Spot
Like Magic

A-a-hl That's delicious relief for
those sore muscles, those stiff joints,
that lame back
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard and
other home simples.
1t does the work of the old
fashioned mustard plaster, minus the
plaster and minus the blister!
You simply rub Musterole on the
spot where the pain is-rub it on
brisl,ly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss. no bother. Just comfort
ing, soothing relief If first a gentle
glow, then a delightful sense Of cool
ness. And best of all. no blisters like
the old-fashioned mustard plaster used
to make.
Use Musterolc for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilits, Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia. headache, conges-
ton, pleurisy. rheumatism. lumbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill
blains, frosted feet and colds OF the
chest Qt often prevents pneumonia.

800 BABIES STARVE TO
death each YEAR IN
CHICAGO BABY FARMS
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
CHICAGO. Feb. 26.-The City Coun-
Gil health committee and Juvenile
Court officials. headed by Alderman
Willis o. Nance, today started a fight
on professional baby farms" in Chi
cago.
The action IS the outgrowth Of an
, investigation. Officials estimate that
more than five hundred babies, from
months to years old, are being
starved to death in the baby board
ing houses" every year.
The average charge for keeping a
baby is SO a week. of which the land
lady" spends sixty cents for the
child's food, the rest being pocketed
rs profit.
Besides crowding dozens of babies
into filthy novels. where they slowly
die of mal-nutrition commonly
known as starvation, and attendant
diseases. many Of the houses are abor-
ton mills, where a baby will be dis
posed Of" for S25 or $50, the investi-
gators found. Babies are said to be
carried out for burial in suitcases.
About one-fourth of the babies are
iuegitimate, said Arthur A. Guild, Of
fcer of the Juvenile Protective As
ISOLATION. In many cases the chill
dren come from homes where the
Father or mother has deserted the
ffamily. And there are a few instances
where a family is able 10 take care Of
the baby, but does not want il
around"
