Goose Grease Better Than Ever

Grandma's old-fashioned remedy,
turpentine and goose grease. probably
has broken up more colds than any
other remedy. The combination is still
successful, but II has been greatly i'm
proved.
MEN, HO-EZE is goose grease and
turpentine with menthol, wintergreen,
peppermint and other healing oils add
ed. Rubbed on the chest, the goose
grease and turpentine do as good work
as they did in Grandma's time. but
while they are working from the out
side. the fumes of the menthol and
other oils are inhaled, acting directly
on the tender Innings of the throat and
lungs. relieving the soreness and loos-
ening the phlegm-giving relief in 20
minutes.

bsrwErH lAReABEE AND HARDING.

The Cedar Rapids Republican suE-
gests that too much fuss is being made
over the pardonnig of Rapist Rathbun
by Governor Harding and calls atten-
ton to the fact that petitions for the
pardon Of youth who had murdered
his parents annoyed and troubled Gov
ernor Larrabee. The Republican hints
that political enmities may be mixed
up in the present agitation as it says
were in the demand for the pardon Of
the murderer. .....
It Is not easy to see the parallel be-
tween Governor Larrabee's refusal to
pardon youth who had murdered a
family, whose dsgeneracy and complete
lack of moral consciousness eounseled
his continued imprisonment and the
pardon granted so freely to a con-
fessed and convicted rapist under a
life sentence. The Republicans COM

tention that too much fuss may be

about 500 an acre. Offering tempta-

But if you had lands for which any
one stood ready TO pay s65 year
rental would you sell them for 500,
or would you hold them? In yes
and half you could collect the SOD
in rents and still have the lands left
to sell to suckers. 1t Il perfectly pre-

 REGRINDING BALL
 BEARINGS IN CARS

As an indication of the attitude which government experts have taken toward re-ground bearings, we are quoting the following circular letter from the chief of the motor transport corps:
 1. The rebuilding of ball bearings has been carefully and fully investi- gated and until further notice no steps are to be taken to have worn ball bearings rebuilt.
 2. Worn bearings will be turned over to the reclamation officer, who can sell them.
 8. Purchases of ball bearings will be confined to new bearings and not re- built bearings.
 c. B. DRAKE, Brigadier General, Chief of the, Motor
 Transport Corps.
 It may we'll be assumed that this important arm of the government service has given no little attention to the subject of re-ground bearings, and while the result is gratifying it is no more than one would expect from this authoritative source.

TIRE PATCHING BY
 AMATEURS OFTEN COSTLY Y

Amateur tire patching ruins thous- ands of automobile tires each year. It is common practice among automo- bile owners, when receiving a cut or puncture in a tire to insert patch on the inside of the casing at the point of injury, thinking that the dam age is permanently repaired. Such a repair in time will ruin any tire, says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co.
 It is good practice to apply patches in such cases, but a tire sleeve should always be placed on the outside of the tire opposite the said patched portion at the same time. The sleeve serves to bind the tire, hold the torn and injured parts of the fab Tic in place and prevent further chaf- ing and rupture.
 The tire sleeve and patch are merely "frst-aid" appliances, and they should
