There Was Nothing So Good

plaster burned and blistered while it
acted. Get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the
plaster and without the blister.

tard. It is scientifically prepared, so
that it works wonders, and yet does
not blister the tenderest skin.
Gently massage Musterole in with the
finger-tips. See how quickly it brings re-
lief-how speedily the pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilitis. Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges-
ton, pleurisy, rheumatism. lumbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,

WORK OF

New York, June 3.-Five Ameri-
can vessels are now known to have
been sunk by German submersibles
off the Atlantic coast within the
past 4S hours. Two tank steamers
also are reported to have been sent
to the bottom, but verifcation of this
report has not been obtained.
The vessels known to have been
sunk are as follows:
The schooner Edward H. Cole, the
schooner Jacob M. Haskell, the
schooner Isabella B. Wiley, the
steamship City of Columbus, the
steamship Carolina.
So far as is known, there has
been no loss of life in the sinking
of the vessels, the Germans in each
instance giving the passengers and
crew an opportunity to take to the
boats. The number of merchant
vessels and schooners sunk on June
End was reported to be Is. Ship
ping is reported closed along the
coast. The government says there
are sufficient warships on this side
to handle the situation. This is the
effort of the Huns to draw atten-
ton of America away from the
drive against the French front.

BAPTIST CHURCH
SERVICES SUNDAY

At the $50 service Sunday even
ing, the last in a series of sermons
to young women will be preached;
subject, "Woman's Imperishable
Crown" The splendid 'ushering
by the young ladies and the bright
ening work Of the flower girls have
added much to these services and
will again feature the evening ser
vice. After discovering woman's
throne of power and life, her crown
will form the logical close to the
series.
1t is hoped that many of the peo-
pie living beyond Abbeville will at
tend this service. Millions of women
are losing their crowns today, and
their thrones as well. Result I'm
happy homes and desolate lives
The service will be of great import
ance.
Morning subject: "The Battle OF
Rephidim."
