PAIN VAN|SHES IN { A FEW MINUTES
Sloan's Liniment quickly relieves minor injuries
 of all kinds


 Why does Sloans Liniment stop the raip of your sprained ankle? Because 1t draws sout inflammation from the torn or twisted fragments and stimu- lates the circulation to remove the congested blood. Its soothing, warming value should be applied at once, as so- rious 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 Lin iment.
 The soothing, warming counter-irri- tant action of Sloan's Eminent gives quick relief to wrenched joints or muscles, backache, stiff neck, gout chilblains and other external injuries.
 Cleaner than mussy plasters or oint- ments. S1oan's Liniment penetratcs without rubbing. Generous size bottles at druggists everywhere. 25c soc, S1.

Chewing as a Food-Saver

Dr. w. Fl. Vail, in the Christian Herald.
 Masticate your food properly and you win not eat over half the quantity you do now, and that half will render you more efficient and healthful and you will enjoy your food more. It is only While the food is in the mouth that we enjoy it. It is only while the food is in the mouth that we taste it. It is only while the food is in the mouth that we have any control over it. As soon as it passes beyond the mouth. toward the stomach we lose all control over it. It then passes under the control and supervision of the ether nervous system, the one that presides over the processes of diges- ton, assimilation and nutrition.
 Again. the act of chewing exercises the teeth and tends to their preserva- tion and health. It is true of the teeth as it is of every other par, oi aoaN, that exercise tends to strengthen them while dsuse lends to atrophy and decay. The teeth are no exception to this rule. which is universal ill it's application, being one of the rules that has no ex- ceLtion. Go to the wilds of Arabia or Africa, where the people subsist upon roots and herbs, and you will see per- feet teeth. What are the teeth for. if not for chewing our food? They arc the hardest substance in the body and they are. placed at the entrance of the mouth to masticate the food.
 Again. if we have morS front biting with the teeth, we will have less back biting with the tongue. This is true, sor the tongue is placed in the mouth lo aid in the mastication of the food, and If not used in that direction, 1t may go to backbiting between meals.

EnoIand,s npeath Clock" Stops.

The famous astronomical clock at
Hampton Court palace, which was
made by a German in 1910, for Henry
VIII, has stopped, and Is in the work
mems hands, writes correspondent.
1t is many years since last the clock
stopped. 1t tells the time, the month,
the day of the month, the position Of
the sun, the number Of days since the
beginning of the year, the phases and
age Of the moon, the hour 1t crosses
the meridian, and the time of high Wa
ter at London bridge. A curious le-
gend connected with 1t has given 1t
the name Of "the clock Of DEATH"
1t is stated that when Anne of Den
mark, the queen Of James I, died at
Hampton Court, the clock, which was
striking the hour at the moment, i'm
mediately stopped, and il is alleged to
have done so for many years whenever
anyone long resident in the palace died
within it's precincts. There are many
people who will quote examples of the
fulfillment of the superstition in re-
cent times.
