RUB YOUR BACK!
STOPS LUMBAGO
Don't drug kidneys! Rub the
pain right out with old
est. Jacobs OIL"

Back hurt you? Can't straighten
up without feeling sudden pains,
sharp aches and twinges? Now listen.
That's lumbago, sciatica, or maybe
from a strain. and you'll get blessed
relief the moment you rub your back
with soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs
OIL" Nothing else takes out sore
ness, lameness and stiffness SO quick
ly. You simply rub it on and out
comes the pain. 1t is perfectly harm
less and doesn't burn or discolor the
skin.
Timber up! Don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle from any drugstore,
and after using it just once. you'll
forget that you ever had packache,
lumbago or sciatica, because your
back will never hurt or cause any
more misery. 1t never disappoints
and has been recommended for so
years. Stop drugging kidneys! They
don't cause backache, because they
have no nerves, therefore can not
cause pain.

\ Free Prescription You Can Hav
Filled and Use at Home

SC at
Victims of eye strain and other
eye weaknesses and those who wear
glasses, will be glad to know that ac-
cording to Dr. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their
eyes restored by this remarkable pre-
scription and many who once wore
glasses say they have thrown them
away. One man says, after using it:
II was almost blind. Could not see to
read at all. Now L can read every
thing without my glasses, and my
eyes do not hurt any more. AT night
they would pain dreadfully. Now they
feel fine all the time. 1t was like
miracle to me-" A lady who used ii
says: The atmosphere seemed hazy
with or without glasses, but after us
ing this prescription for fifteen days
everything seems clear. l can read
even fine print without glasses An
other who used it says: Il was both
cred with eye strain caused by over
worked, tired eyes, which induced
fierce headaches. 1 have worn glass
es for several years, both for distance
and work, and without them | could
not read my own name on an envelope
or the typewriting on the machine be-
fore me. l can do both now and have
discarded my long distance glasses
altogether l can count the fiuttering
leaves on the trees across the street
now, which for several years have
looked like a dim green blur to me.
l cannot express my Joy at what it has
done for me-
1t is believed that thousands who
wear glasses can now discard them
in a reasonable time and multitudes
more will be able to strengthen their

the cOncusSion, the white smoke of the
discharges eddied and rose. An i'm
mediate dead silence fell, except for
the sounds made by the movements of
those seeking safe places. Johnny and
his two friends, shoulder to shoulder,
backed slowly away toward the door.
Johnny and Old presented each two
pistols at the group around the bar,
while Cal, revolver In his we'll hand,
swept the muzzle slowly from side to
side. Nobody near the bar stirred.
The express messengers backed to the
door.
'Keeps your heads inside" warned
Johnny clearly. On the words they
vanished.
Immediately pandemonium broke
loose. The men along the bar imme-
diately became very warlike, but none
of those who brandished pistols tried
to leave ths building. From the swing
and sway Of the crowd and the babel
of yells, oaths, threats and explana-
tions l could make nothing. Danny
Randall alone of all those in the room
held his position unmoved. At last a
clear way offered, so 1 went over to
him.

him through the din.
Danny shrugged his shoulders.
"They killed Carhart and Malone" +"
Danny replied curtly.
Although for the moment held in

Hardly an attempt was made to con-

The camp soon had concrete illus
tration of the opinion the roughs held
of themselves. 1t was reported quiet
ly among a few of us that several of
our number had been marked by the
desperadoes. Two of these were Joe
/ Thompson, who had acted as counsel
for the prosecution in the late trial,
and Tom Cleveland, who had presided,
and presided well, over the court.
Thompson kept one of the stores, while
Cleveland was proprietor of the butch

but we understood that somehow these
men were to be put out of the way.
or course they were at once warned.

Plan Extensive Planting.

Petersburg, Ind, June 1S.-The
high waters of the Patoka and White
rivers are receding. Thousands of
acres of crops have been damaged.
Much of the acreage can not be re-
planted.
Many river bottom farmers moved
their teams to the hills, and during
the three weeks that the rivers have
been up they have been assisting the
hill farmers. AS soon as the waters
recede all the teams available will be
sent into the bottoms and as much of
the land as possible will be replanted.
Car loads of ninety-day seed corn
have been sent for and planting will
continue up to July Is. More than
two-thirds of the bottoms are still
under water. The rye, oats, melon,
potato and alfalfa crops will be
plowed under and as much of the
acreage as possible will be planted in
corn. Gardens of the river bottom
farmers will be replanted with plants
furnished by townspeople and upland
farmers. In Gibson county, west OF
here, whole townships were under
water.

DUMA GUSTS PEACE ENVOY

Petrograd, June 18.-The first act
of the Pan-Russian Congress of all
Councils of Workingmen's and Sol
diers' Delegates, upon which depends
the immediate destiny of Russia in re-
gard to both international and do
nestle questions was to ratify the
expulsion by the provisional govern
ment of the Swiss Socialist, Robert
Grimm, who is reported to have been
the medium through which the Ger
mans attempted to arrange a separate
peace with Russia.
The congress expressed the view
that the action of the ministers CORE
sponded perfectly with the interests
of the Russian government and the
Socialist internationale. 1t welcomed
the decision of the ministers to pub
lish the full details regarding the
Grimm affair.
The Duma in secret session has
passed a resolution for an immediate
offensive by the Russian troops. The
resolution declares separate peace
with Germany or prolonged inactivity
on the battle front to be ignoble, trea-
son toward Russia's allies, for which
future generations never would par
don the Russia of the present day.
'"The Duma, therefore, considers, y
the resolution adds, "that the safety
of Russia and the maintenance of the
liberties which have been obtained lie
in an immediate offensive in close CO.
operation with Russia's allies"
