SIMPLE WAR WEDDINGS.

London, Jan. 10.-As a result of the
War Savings Committees appeal for
less extravaganza, weddings conducted
in BeTgravia's most fashionable
church have been shorn of their most
expensive trimmings. Church deco
rations and orders for bouquets have
been reduced about ninety per cent.
and the flowers which used to be sent
now go to the hospitals. Brides
maids have almost been dispensed
with and the bride usually carries a
prayer book instead of an expensive
bouquet, while her dress is simplicity
itself. The verger at the famous st.
Georges church, Hanover Square, says
that while the wedding awning used to
go up many times a month, it has on
ly been used twice since last August.
There is scarcely ever choral SER
vice now and the bride and groom
more often drive direct to the railway
station than to a reception.

her. She is possessed of an excep-

joyabie by her ability to play the most
difficult roles naturally. She is the
personification Of grace and Bridge

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

But the old-fashioned mustard-p1aster
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 a 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, 1umbago,
pains and aches of back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill
b1ains, frosted feet, colds of the chest
(it often prevents ppeumonia).

Those four ex-baseball players who
IRE at Polls under the name of 1.-The

Meriden, Jan. Tonight work of

THE HABIT OF.
INVESTIGATING

This is an era Of investigation.
From Congress down to the state leg
islatures, they're all doing 1T. Com
missions and committees are hiring
stenographers, summoning witnesses,
spending money on railroad fares,
smoking choice cigars, and seeing the
country. Just now the cost of living
subject is the favorite field, but a lot
of others furnish employment to out
of work politicians. The very word
investigation. has come to seem almost
ridiculous to the public.
Ordering an investigation has been
favorite idea with the politicians
When they don't know what to do,
or even are determined to do nothing
providing an investigation committee
serves a useful purpose. 1t keeps
petitioners quiet, thinking that some
thing is being done. Usually by he
time the committee reports, the ext
gency has passed, and the findings
can be safely and quietly pigeonholed.
Yet investigation is an essential
idea in all business. In commercial
life no corporation undertakes a new
problem without exhaustive study by
its experts. The most careful sound
ings and most painstaking expert
ments are made.
Evidently the trouble is not so
much with the essential idea Of leg
islative investigation, as the way 1t
is so often carried on and the fact
that so frequently it Is futile.
Many of these investigation COM
mittee reports really are very good,
but their findings are ignored. If the
more pressing demand for: action has
blown over, the legislators lose inter-
est, and turn their attention to other
things. Congress or any legislative
body that spends peoples money for
study Of any pending problem
should feel itself responsible to have
some positive results flow from the
report. An investigation that merely
stores away facts in public docu-
ment without the creation of any new
methods or systems is a waste of pub
lie money. It displays the inability
of the politicians class to give bust
ness administration.
