GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good for
Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard-plaster
burned and blistered while it acted. You
can now get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the plas-
ter and without the blister.
Musterole does it. 1t is clean,
white ointment, made with oil Of
mustard. 1t is scientifically prepared,
so that it works wonders, and yet
does not blister the tenderest skin.
Just massage Musterole in with the
finger tips gently. See how quickly
it brings relief how speedily the
pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges-
ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,
pains and aches of back or joints,
sprains, sore musclee, bruises, chill
blains, frosted feet, colds of the chest

EGG SITUATION
Z Poultry Raisers Are Warned Not to
I Kill the Hen That Lays the
Golden Egg

All present indications point to
continued high prices for eggs with
the possibility of newly laid eggs of
prime quality selling next winter at
at prices considerably above those
last winter. Eggs are going into
storage now at costs which necessi-
tate retail price of 40 cents or bet
ter next fall and winter in order to
return a reasonable profit for hand
ling and storing.
Whether the present shortage of
eggs continues through next winter
or out depends on what the farmers
of Ohio do with their poultry during
the next six or eight weeks. If they
follow out their expressed intention
of selling the greater part of the
farm flock because of the high cost
of feed, and the fowls which are sold
are not replaced with pullets, fresh
eggs will be as scarce next November
and December as the proverbial
hens teeth
Because of the existing shortage in
the egg market and the increasing
demand for eggs due to the advanc-
ing cost of other livestock products,
every farmer in the state should plan
to raise as many good pullets this
season as he has facilities to handle
They should be carefully fed SO that
they will be well grown and begin
to lay before the first of November
For profitable yield of eggs dur
ing the winter months, early Matched
pullets are much more valuable than
hens.
The older hens may be sent to mar
Ret few at a time as fast as they
stop laying. All hens which remain
in laying condition through the sum-
mer should be retained until fall.
Those which continue egg production
until October l or later should be re-
tanned for use as breeders. If prop
erly handled, hens may be carried
through the summer at good profit
in spite of the high cost of feed. II
these nens are thrown on the market
now, the market will have an over.
supply greater than the storage
houses can handle and prices will be
forced down to low level.
Don't kill laying hens; raise as
many pullets as possible; have all
chickens hatched before June 1 feed
well and handle carefully. If these
suggestions aIe followed, good prof
it will result, and an egg famine will
be avoided.-M. c. Fitzpatrick, poul-
try specialist, The Ohio State Univer-
sity.

SIBERIAN ExHEs FREED

The old Siberian exilos are now
free and they are coming back home
--100,Ln0 of them, victims Of Rus
sian tyranny. But now that absolu-
tism is at an end in that country and
the democratic idea has overthrown
the Romanoaf dynasty, all those ST.
herian exiles are free. There is no
instance anywhere which shows the
influence Of the divinity of kins upon
human freedom as this cruel Danish
mont. And now these poor people
are free, and they are returning, worn
and wasted frcm their exile to their
homes. Some Of these prisoners
still wearing the chains on their
wrists and ankles, put on them years
ago when sent to Siberia. When the
decree went forth for their return, 1t
vas hard to find blacksmiths in that
region who could cut the chains.
What great good this war has
been to the world in liberating those
Stberian LfiNeners! 1t was certainly
the most inhuman thing govern
me Mt ever did, but it would not have
been possible with d democratic gov
ernment. IT was autocracy that con-
trived and inflicted those Siberian
horrors. When tina: was crushed in
Russia, the horrors ceased. Autoc-
racy worked differently in Germany.
1t brought on terrible war, killing
millions # men and that form must
be eradicated, too.-Ohio State Jour
nal.

PRESERVING EGGS

An abundant supply of eggs during
the months Of high prices can be pro
vided by the preservation of eggs in
solution of water glass. The fol
lowing method is practical for the
r ,usewife who desires to preserve a
case $50 dozenl of eggs for winter
use.
Obtain 9 p'nts of water glass $50
dium Siiicatcj at drug store and
mix it with Il pints of cool boiled
water Place fresh, clean eggs care
fully in a 10-gallon earthenware jar.
Lc SURE thai none - the eggs are
cracked, old or dirty.
After putting the eggs in the jar,
place a large plate over them and
POUR in the water glass solution un-
Ill the plate is submerged under two
inches of liquid If one desires to
preserve the eggs from day to day,
the solution may be put in the jar
and the esgs placed therein as gath
cred until the jar is full. Tie heavy
Iaper over the top OF the jar and
move IT carefully to cool place
where may remain until one is
ready to use t. c eggs. Remove them
from the solution as needed and wash
with cold water. Ii one desires to
boil them, pTitk one or two small
holes in each egg with a needle. This
will prevent the contents from break
ing the shell.

WAR MESSAGE
Marks HIstOry's Turning Point
A Climax in the Progress of
the Human Race.
[By Charles E. Russell.]

One hundred thousand released po-
litical prisoners, the dispatches say,
are now on their way from Siberia to
Russia.
One hundred thousand souls re-
leased from living death. Some will
go mad with joy and some will not
for long time believe that they are
alive and awake.
Marie Spirodondova, that saint OF
democracy, is free. Never did she
imagine she should see again the sun
light on the grass and hear the
speech Of men.
Cruelty of Agents.
Agents of the old Russian auto
cracy stripped her naked and with
the butts of their cigarettes burned
elaborate patterns into her flesh.
With their heels they stamped in
to her face the cruel distigurements
she will carry to her grave. And she
is free now and so is old Mother
Katherine" the dauntless soul that
escaped once and went back.
Great days. The whole horrible
nightmare Of old Russia has passed.
Nothing seems to make the wonder
full throbbing truth so real to us as
that news of the 100000 restored
from the living grave.
Was Wilson's Day
Great days. What we had thought
might come in the year 22O or O.
500 has come now. 1t is even so.
The day when Russia cast from her
the blight of kings was one great
day and the day when President Will
son formulated the faith of Ameri-
can democracy was another great
day.
There were some things about that
message that were even more im-
portant than it's declaration that the
United States was ready to enter the
war. We haven't had much time to
think about them yet, because we've
or our hands the immediate job Of
putting the Hohenzollerns out of
business.
Think More of 1t
But we shall come back to think
more and more about that message
and so will all the world.
Beca lse for ane thing it announ-
ced definitely the extinction of one
theory of government that has
plauged poisoned the race Off thous-
ands of years.
1t announced the death of the idea
that men because of their birth have
any privilege to reign or govern or.
have power or infuenc9. 1t knocked
out forever the old idea Of the tribal
chief and the son of the father. 1t
knocked out the old ridiculous idea
about superior families, blue blood
and the pride of descent.
Never Go Back.
The president waited until he knew
perfectly well that he had the full
authority OF the nation. Then he let
