.SCIATlCA SUFFERERS
 SOON RELIEVED
Peculiar, darting, piercing pain of neuralgia in sciatic nerve relieved by Sloan's Eminent.

Don't think there's no help for your Sciatica because you've tried other remedies. Sloan's Lfnirnent Is so penetrating and effective, 1t gets right down and stops the pain by re- lieving the pressure on the irritated nerve. Probably some inflammation or congestion is causing this irrita- tion. The counter-irritant effect of Sloan's Liniment soon quiets the nerve and stops it's paroxysms of protest ing pain.
 Simply bathe the aching part with a little Sloan's Liniment. This clear, clean liquid will not stain the skin. It gives you immediate relief without rubbing. The wear and tear of suf- fering from Sciatica, Neuralgia, Sprains, Bruises or other external aches not only makes you less able to en&u1e the pain, but may have g. weakening effect on your strength. You can always get Sloan's Eminent Generous size bottles at druggists everywhere. 25c. 50c. $1.00.-Adv.

and pastries
 Anyone who could broiI a chop, roast leg of mutton, fry a slice of ham, and bake a pie got a pob as chef-and no questions asked as about vegetables. But the real test of chef is mash ed potatoes. Order mashed potatos
 in the average hotel and you will get
 what looks liked soaked bread-and tastes worse.
 For several months I have made a point of asking for three or four vegetables in restaurants in all parts of the country, frequently eating a meal without meat. In the best hotel restaurants the vegetables are uni
 formly well cooked, put ips the great majority of the mediun-grade restah rants and even the medium restau- rants in smaller towns. the chefs do not seem to take vegetables seriously. 'Ask for a steak and you will get a palatable dish; ask for spinach and you will probably get something that
 looks like soup and tastes like wet hay. "In the metropolitan cities, a few of the popular restaurants are making a speciality of vegetables-cooking them scientifically to preserve their flavor.
 For instance, in a New York eating house I saw these signs prominently displayed on>the walls:
 Squash, onions, cabbage, cauli- flower, potatoes, Brussel sprouts, spinach, yellow turnips. We steam to retain all their mineral food ingredi ents-natural delicious flavor. Car rots, parsnips, lima beans, green peas,
 white turnips, string beans are cooked
 in just enough water for serving-and preserve all their food properties $ "This appeared to be an indication that vegetables are beginning to get the attention they deserve. In these days when the government is calling upon us to eat lightly of meat and grain, 1t would be a good thing if we became better acquainted with vege- tables Eat one meal day of vege- , ta bles exclusiv ely.

SUGAR SAVING IN HOTELS

Hotel men are now working out new ideas for the serving of sugar to meet the temporary shortage in East ern states pending the arrival of wes- tern beet sugar and the Louisiana and Cuban cane crops. Study of this ques- tion has been beneficial, locating needless wastes. It has been found, for instance, that some guests fill their pockets from the sugar bowl. This is a habit with women, who like to feed sugar to horses if they can do it at somebody else's expense. Loose sugar is often spoiled through dip ping with spoons taken from coffee and tea, and sugar served with meals sent to rooms is often wasted. The necessity for restricting guests to two or three Jumps with each coffee ser vice has reduced waste and shown that most persons are economical and reasonable in such matters. The ho- tel men find that they themselves have also been rather wasteful by list ting too many sweet dishes on their menus, adding icing to dishes already sweet enough, and making up too many kinds of ice cream and pastry, which leads to a certain proportion being left over to spoil, where one or two kinds would give guests sufficient choice and make it easy to adjust sup ply to daily requirements.

 Delaney presided over the first col lonial congress, held at Albany in 1754, when the delegates from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Isl- and and Connecticut considered a col onial confederaoy, for which articles of union were drawn by Benjamin Franklin. De Lancey, who had won fame as 5urist, was then acting governor of New York. He was one of the most influential men, in the politics and legislation of the colony, and was one of the founders of King College, now Columbia University. He was a son of Dhenne Delaney, a French Protestant, who became a British subject and afterward settled in America Etienne Delaney built the DeLancey House in New York, since famous as the 'Queen's Head" and "Fraunce's Tavern" Washington bade farewell to the officers of his army in the large room which had ben Mrs. DeLancey's drawing room.

 A robbery of automobile tires was carried off successfully in Westport on Thursday evening, when thieves broke into the westport garage, and got away with tires amounting perhaps to $1,o00 in value. The garage is owned by Leonard Mackenzie.
 Suicide By Hanging.
 Charles G. Coos, for 31 years one of the leading butchers and marketmen of Danbury, ended his life Sunday noon by hanging himself in the cellar of his market. Worry over business cares Is attributed as the chief reason for the act which 1t is believed was porary insanity.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Thanksgiv- ing Day found Americas horn of plenty with new high-record fitness.
 Responding faithfully to President Wilson's appeal and the needs of a War-torn world, American farmers produced a gross total of $21.00O, ,000.- 900 worth of farm products. That great total being the value of all crops, animals, and animal products. was $6, ,50O, 100000 greater than last years, and more than the combined value of any two previous years. There were record crops of corn, oats, rye, white and sweet potatoes, tobacco and beans.
 The principal farm crops will reach more than $12,00O, 100000 in value, minor crops s2,500,000.000, and ami mals and animal products, including butter, cheese, and eggs, about $6,- 50O,OOO,0O0. This years values are based on preliminary production es- inmates and prices paid to producers Nov. 1, as reported by the Department of Agriculture. An official estimate of the principal farm-crop values will be made by the Bureau of Crop Esti- mates on December II.
 Corn the Greatest Crop Soi II, IAAS So01lIA S1 CaISSI C1Op, counts for about one-third of the in- creased values of this year. Itis es- timated at about $4,659,0 100000 com pared with $2,296,0O0,OO0 last year, $1,723,000,000 in 1915, and $1,577,- 100000 the average for the five years 191014. In point of quantity corn this year saw its largest production, being 66,0O0,000 bushels more than the 1912 record crop, 60S,000,O00 bushels more than last year, and 59,O00,0O0 bush els more than the 191O-14 five-year average.

Cotton lint last year at $27S,OOO,OOO, while the five-year 1stO-14 average value was: Lint, $715, 5,000,000; seed. SIPS. 100000. Pro- duction this year is about 60o,O00 bales larger than last year and D. S4O,OOO bales smaller than the 1S1O- IA average.
 Hay comes next, with total of $1,- 390, 100000 compared with $1,162,- 100000 last year, and $1,056, ,00O, 900 in 1915.
 Wheat Fourth in Value
 Wheat, the fourth crop, in point of value is worth more than a billion dollars for the second time in Ameri- can farming history. Its value is esti- mated at $1,320,o0O.O compared with $1,025,765. 900 last year. $943,- 303,000 in 1915, and s629,93s. .00O, the average value of 1910- 1914 crops.
 No other crop has reached the bil- lion-dollar total, although oats comes within $25,oo0,000 of that figure, be- ing valued at ss75,000.00o compared with $656, 100000 last year, and the 1910-14 average of SAP, ,909.00O.
 Potatoes passed the half billion dollar mark. with . total Of &6s3.-

 Other important crops show in creased values. Barley, estimated to be worth 5,00O,0O0, is more than double the 1910-1914 average value; rye, with value of $95,0O0,000 is worth almost four times as much as it's value average for the 1910-1914 crops, and both buckwheat, with a value of $26.000,0O0, and sweet pota- toes, with a value of $94,000,00O are more than double the 1910-1914 aver age. Flaxseed is valued at S29,000,0O0 and rice at $33,000,000, both being less than last year in point of value, be- cause of smaller production. Tobac- co, a record crop, is valued at $249,- 900, 900, compared with $169, ,00O, 900 last year and 103,061,000, the 1s10- 1914 average.
