A raw, SORE THROAT
Eases Quickly When You Apply
a Little MuSterole

And Musterole won't blister like the
b1d-fashioned mustard plaster. just
spread it on with your fingers. 1t pene-
trates to the sore spot with gentle
tingle, loosens the congestion and draws
out the soreness and pain.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment
made with oil of mustard. 1t is fine for
quick relief for sore throat, bronchitis,
tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck, asthma, neu-
ralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy,
rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds on
the chest (it often prevents pneumonia). +.
Nothing like Musterole for croupy chill
dren. Keep it handy for instant use.

To Act as Clearing House.

The purpose is to take the thousands of
university professors, alumni and some
undergraduates. who are anxious to fill in
along lines of patriotic service where
their own experience and training fit them
for best service. and to take the govern
ment needs for men with specialized
knowledge and bring them together. This
orSanIzation, therefore, is to act as a
Clearance house, finding the most eff
Clent man for the job
There are more than $50 colleges and
universities already organized for this
work and most of these have sent out
Guestionaires taking a census of their
graduates who have been out of school
not more than ten years and of under
graduates showing the technical, busi-
ness or professional training and
whether they are willing to give their
services to the country Immediately if
called upon.
Before this committee was established
in its headquarters three departments
OF the government called forth supply
of men. and as the knowledge that men
OF special training are available is
spread among the other government de-
partments very valuable service is
being performed. For example. this
committee was called upon for experts
in one of the newly formed branches
of the defense organization, the COM
mercial economy board. which was sup
Piled with three men of wide ex-
perience along mercantile lines.

There has been considerable

to the Russians making stands at sew

LANSING EXPOSES BREACH
OF SWEDISH NEUTRALITY
Develops Another Case of Sinister
Teutonic Diplomacy

develops Another Case of Sinister
Teutonic Diplomacy.
Washington.-Cop of three brief
dispatches made public bv the state
department revealed another case of
sinister German diplomacy, this time
directed against Argentina ard involv.
ing the Swedish foreign office in an
apparent grave breach Of neutrality
and diplomatic propriety.
They were messages to Berlin from
Count Luxburg, the German charge at
Beunos Aires, forwarded by the Swed-
ish legation there as it's own commun-
ications. Besides advising that no
concessions be granted Argentina in
the submarine controversy, they sug-
gest that the South American coun-
try's ships be sunk without leaving
any trace" and gave information as to
the sailing and positions Of certain
vessels.
The departments announcement
was sent to the Argentine embassy
and the Swedish legation here at the
same time it was given to the public
There was no explanation as to how
the messages came into the hands OF
the United States nor discussion as to
what may be the result.
The action created sensation. par
t1cularly among the neutral diplomats.
Baron Akerhielm. the Swedish charge
In the absence of advices from his gov.
ernmcnt, would not comment further
than to say 1T was improbable the
Swedish minister at Buenos Airea
knew OF the contents Of the dis.
patches. Axel Robert Nordvail of the
special Swedish economic mission. de-
clared that he was certain. that Baron
Lowen, the Swedish minister to Argen.
tina, had no knowledge Of the contents
Of the dispatches.
May Recall Baron Lowen.
Mr.. Nordvall was OF the opinion
that Baron Lowen would be recalled
by the Swedish government and said
he looked for an explanation and O.
disavowal OF any intention to commit
an unneutral act.
What effect the disclosure will
nave on Argentina's relations with
Germany could only be guessed at
both by state department officials and
by Ambassador Na0n, The ambassa-
dor already has transmitted messages
to his government and until ilnstruc-
tions are received he will not comment
on the incident.
