SIDE TALKS
How It Happened Before
BY RUTH CAMERON

Is there anyone in the world who. has not at one time or another had that haunting sense of having said OF heard just the same thing under the same conditions some time before, attack him in the midst of a conver- sation?
 I doubt it.
 And so, l presume everyone will be interested in an explanation that someone has offered, and in my ex- periences with it. You Remember What You Subcon-
 sciously Heard.
 |. The explanation is this-that dur ing the conversation your conscious mind has been wandering while your subconscious mind has remained on the job. Your conscious mind hears ths thing said, 8 second later your subconscious, mind comes back to earth and also hears. it. And it is the subconscious minds record of it which the. conscious mind rernem bers and thinks is some impression of a former existence.
 I read that explanation one day and sniffed at it. "Nonsense!" I thought, and discarded it loftily.
 A Song I Haven't Thought of for
 Years.
 A few days later, as was sitting in an electric car, I found my mind humming that silly old popular song, 'I find the Western Union conver- fence, everywhere I roam." What on earth brought that to my mind ?'' ! wondered. And then I suddenly be- came conscious that we were passing

A-a-h! That's delicious relief for those sore muscles, those stiff joints that lame back
 Musterole Is clean, white ointment, made with the oil of mustard and other home simp1es.
 It does the work of the old fashioned mustard plaster, minus the plaster and minus the blister!
 You simply rub Mustero1e on the spot where the pain is-rub it on briskly-and usually the pain is gone. No muss, no bother Just comfort ing, soothing relief - first a gentle glow, then delightful sense of cool ness. And best of all, no b1isters like the o1d-fashioned mustard plaster used to make.
 Use Mustero1e for sore throat, bron- chitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges- tion, pleurisy rheumatism, 1umbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chi1- plains, frosted feet and colds of the chest Cit often prevents pneumonia.
