HOW GOOD THAT
MUSTEROLE FEELS!
IT Gets to That Sore Spot
Like Magic

A-a-hl That's delicious relief for
those sore muscles, those stiff joints,
that lame back.
Mustero1e is clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard and
other home simp1es.
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
briskly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss, no bother. just comfort
ing, soothing relief II first a gentle
glow, then delightful sense of cool
ness. And best of all, no blisters like
the old-fashioned mustard plaster used
to make.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron.
chitis, tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges-
ton, p1eurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill

chest (it often prevents pneumonia.

W. A. HESTER DIES
AT HIS RESIDENCE
AS a Civil Engineer He Was
Associated With Many of Big
Enterprises of Country


William A. Hester, aged ~, 100
North Front street, who has been as
sociated with some of the largest en-
gineering feats in the country as a civil
engineer, died this morning at $50
o'clock.
He came from the old pioneer stock
to which this section of Pennsylvania
owes it's strongest elements. He was
born September 29, 1S45, at Esther
ton, the old family seat of the Hiesters
just outside of Harrisburg and was
the Oldest son of Judge A. o. Hester.
His preliminary education was obtain
ed at st. PauPs school, later he at
tended Dickinson college, being grad
uated from there with fine standing
He was one of the founders of the
Sigma Chi fraternity at Dickinson,
and at the time of his death was the
Oldest living member of his chapter.
AS civil engineer with wide eX-
perience. Mr.. Hester had a prominent
part in many of the important enter
prises undertaken u generation ago in
the eastern part of the country. In
much of his work he was associated
with the late Francis Skunk, one of
the foremost engineers of his day.
Among other enterprises with which
Mr.. Hester was connected, was the
erection of the elevated railroad in
New York city, survey of the Ohio
river in order to make it naVigable;
the construction of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad,
and score of other equally important
projects in the East and South.
Returns Here Later
In 1870 Mr.. Hester married Miss
Elizabeth Reilly Stephens and moved
to Connecticut, where he continued
his engineering work, later going to
Kentucky to take part in the construc-
ton of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. Later he moved to Elmra,
n. Y, where he remained for fifteen
years as roadmaster of the Erie Rail-
road. In 1896 the family returned to
Harrisburg where they have since re-
sided. For some time Mr.. Hester af-
ter coming here was connected with
the Equitable Insurance Company, and
later was secretary of the Board of
Trade. For some years, however. he
has not been engaged in any active
business. Besides his widow he leaves
three children, all of whom are resi-
dents of this city-William s., Marc
G. and Matilda w.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed by DR.. George e. Halves, his pas
tor, at Mr.. Hiester's late residence,
HOO North Front street, at 2 O'Clock

were pigeonholed.
February 8, 1917, the facts were
made public for the first time, where
upon the veterinarian who had the
courage topursue the straight ana
narrow path was Immediately disci-
plined by his superiors as warning
to other men not to talk out of
school, even though public health and
the health of the animal industry are
at stake.
This Gill Griessman episode con-
stitutes a classical example of the
forces, ordinarily invisible to the puo-
lie eye, which are at work undermin-
ing the stamina of the American
people.
AS Griessman, Friday February 8,
1917, after repeated efforts to have
his case aired by the proper officials
had failed, made his charges public,
he was finishing his test for Messrs.
Cohen & Alex, livery stable proprie-
tors, 440 East 1920 street, New York
City, for glanders on one gray mare,
blind left eye, flea bitten, ten years
old, sixteen hands high.
The test was made so that the mare
might be shipped, according to law,
to the farmer who had purchased 1t,
Frank Glushenok, Rural Free Deliv
cry Route, Yantic, Conn.
At the completion of the test, 12.47
p. m, Friday, February 8, DR.. Griess
man issued Certificate No. 1910, de-
claring the animal free from
glanders.
The certificate was sent Immediate
ly to the New York State Department
of Agriculture, II Battery place. in
order to obtain a shipping permit
from the State authorities. Without
this permit the Chelsea Line, operat-
ing a boat between New York City
and Yantic, Conn, would not accept
the horse for delivery to another
State.
When a messenger bearing the cer-
tificate arrived at the office of the
Department of Agriculture, $50 p. m,
he was informed that the certificate
was mot valid,i and that it would
not be accepted" by the Department
of Agriculture.
CHEESEMAN'S charges against Gill
were made public at 11.30 p. M, Feb
ruary 8. Within four hours the
clutch of invisible government was at
his throat. The story of this affair
throws white light upon the disease
which is eating away at the heart of
the United States.
