PAIN VANISHES in
A FEW MINUTES
Sloan's Liniment quickly
relieves minor injuries
of all kinds.

Why does Sloan's Liniment stop the
pain of your sprained ankle? Because
it draws out Inflammation from the
torn or twisted igaments, and stimu
lates the circulation to remove the
congested blood. Its soothing. warm
ing value should be applied at once,
as serious injury often follows failure
to promptly care for a sprain. Strains
differ from sprains in that muscles
and not joints are wrenched. They
stop hurting just as quickly under the
comforting application of Sloan's
Liniment-
The soothing, warming counter-irri-
tant action of Sloan's Liniment gives
quick relief to wrenched joints or

BOOM IN WOODS0N'
Ninety-Five Per Cent of Land
Is Leased in County Now.
Oil Men See Great Prospects for
Good Producers There.

Yates Center, Kan, Nov 20
Woodson county and Yates Center
are rapidly moving toward the end
of the rainbow. New faces are seen
every day in the hotels here-faces of
mysterious oil men representing mys-
terious companies and saying myster-
ious things about the mysteries of the
oil sands beneath this territory.
Outside the hotels in the fields adj
joining Yates Center-and turnout
the county-the rapidly constructed
rigs and the musical-squeaky pumps
are revealing the mysteries in the
form of murky oil. The last two
months have been especially active
here-but the last week has been one
of feverish expectation.
One incident alone could be held
responsible for the furry. Tests of
the we'll managed by L. H. Hamacher
brought a bonus of from 80 cents to
81 a barrel owing to the high quality
of the oil. This makes the oil worth

IT'S chow TO EAT"
That's Problem Confronting People,
Says o. p. Sharp to Cooperative Club.

Restaurants, cafes and other pub
lie dining rooms that increase prices
instead of keeping figures on the right
hand side of their menus stationary by
cutting down potions, whenever this is
possible, are not aiding in the conser-
walton of food. They are not aiding
in keeping down the high cost of liv-
ing and, more important, they are not
aiding in the great necessity of teach
ing the public how to eat" That is
the opinion expressed today by. Q. T.
Sharp, manager of the Banner Dairy
lunch and cafeteria, who spoke before
the Cooperative club which lunched
at the Elks' club.
Sharp told how he is working out
food problems and getting successful
results in his own dining rooms.
When the food shortage began to
press US and the great demand for
conservation came we considered the
ACCESSIBILITY of raising prices" said
Sharp. I'VE decided that this wouldn't
be practical because it wouldn't elimi-
nate waste
I'm nearly all good restaurants and
dining rooms prior to this time,
potions served were more than enough
for one man and sometimes ample for
two.
Had we raised our prices the potion
couldn't be cut down. If we kept
prices stationary We could cut down
enough, and realize a profit.
I'VE put this into effect. There was
a little complaint at first but not
enough to amount to anything. For
the most part the public caught the
idea of what we were trying to do
and now it's for us and everyone else
where similar policies are in effect.
People buying under such a policy
will get just enough and as much as
they want. They leave nothing that
goes back into the kitchen to be
dumped into the refuse can. Where
.arge portions are served some part
of them always is left and this is
waste
Sharp also called attention to the
fact that Tuesday has been designated
by the national food administrator as
meatless day and Wednesday as
wheatless day All dining rooms
should cooperate to the extent of
| observing these two particular days,
| he asserted. If, for instance, one man
/ has meatless day on TUESDAY and an
other has it on Friday it causes a
hardship on the consumer and is I'M
! fair

TO SAVE VENICE!
Invaders Promise Pope Not To
Damage Art City.
Narrowing Scenes During Ex-
Odus of Civil Population.
BY JoHN II. HEARLEY.

Rome. Nov. 2O.-Pope Benedict has
extracted from Germany and Austria
the promise not to damage Venice or
remove her priceless art treasures, if
the city is evacuated before an ad
vancing TeutOnic army, according to
a well authenticated report today
While all Rome mourned in dread
of confirmation of the death of Ga
briel D'Annunzio, her poet-aviator, it
was reported today that he had left
his squadron, on leave, to bid farewell
to Venice's art treasures and had not
been lost on a flight, as was feared.
Dispatches from Venice today re-
port narrowing scenes as the civil
evacuation was completed. Every
man in the city between IS and As
who is able to handle a gun has al
ready left to fight back the Teutonic
hordes. Practically all women and
children have been removed. A few
old men, weeping and insisting their
right to remain in the city, are all
that remain. Venice's majestic la
goons and canals were all but desert
ed, her great palaces of other days of
grandeur were starkly staring with
empty spaces from which previous
art works had been snatched.
Many Art Works Can't Be Moved.
Even the pigeons in st. Marks
piazza were hungry and neglected for
the first time.
Much of Venice's frreplaceable art
treasures are in the form of frescoes
and sculpture firmly fixed to build
ings- They cannot be removed. All
the paintings and statues that are re-
movable have already been trans
ferred out of the city. The minister
of mafi1e left Rome today for an in
spection tour of the defenses of the
city. The fortresses guarding the city
from the Adriatic have been strength

GRAND TOTAL ............ S527, 4S2. 90

Following the official windup of
the Y. NJ. c. A. war work fund cam
paign last midnight, official returns
from over the state today began boost
ing the total amount subscribed to-
ward the 100000 which +. D. Pierce,
in Mondays State Journal, estimated
had been raised. Following his pre-
Hsglinary assertion Monday that the
Kansas quota had been oversubscrlbed,
the official returns today increased
the total reported to $527,4S2, over
subscribing the s525,OO0 quota by
$2.4S2.
The figure reported at the state
Headquarters today are by no means
final. Dozens of counties in the state
have not been heard from. Many of
these are trying to get their final to-
tails before wiring results. The COM
plete final reports, it was said today
by Pierce, win not be in before the
latter part of the week.
Pierce repeated his assertion that
the grand total will go to 100000.
Topeka teams today were congrat-
ulating themselves on the splendid
success of the Topeka campaign. De-
spite the fact the rural districts, or
that part of Shawnee county outside
of Topeka, fell short of its allotment,
the city subscription made up for it
and the quota was oversubscribed by
nearly $4,000.
The assessed valuation of Shawnee
county is $90.000,000. About $780,,
600. 900 of that is in Topeka, leaving
a valuation of $4,000, 900 on the out
side. The Outside" which contains
this one-third of the country's wealth.
was allotted $4,000, or One-seventh of
the entire quota of $4,000. The total
amount raised was only $2,660.
Those in charge of the campaign in
the city today estimated that the
amount raised in Topeka was COM
prised of between 1000 and 5000 in
