Lay Down Sword for Pen.

Berlin, Now I2.-This years ar
mistice anniversary finds Germany S
two foremost war generals-Von
Hindenburg and Won Ludendorff-
living in seclusion, the former still
revered by a majority of the people.
the latter an object of total indiffcr'
ence.
Hindenburg has a pretty villa in
Hanover, where the townsfolk wor-
ship him. The rest of the country,
broadly speaking, reveres him as the
savior of the country from the Rus
SLAMS.
Ludendorff has moved to Bavaria.
He doesn't rank with Hindenburg in
public esteem. Some say he has a
finger on the pulse of the Bavarian
Monachistic and Separatist move
ment. Now and then he puts out
feelers for new military schemes,
such, for instance, as a hint that Ger
many might urn on Russia in return
for entente favors. .
Both Hindenburg and I 6endorff
have taken up the pen since laying
down the sword. And the income
from their literary works is such as
to keep the wolf away from their re-
spective doors in their old age.

RUB OUT THE PAINS
OF LAME BACK WITH
OLD ST. JACOBS OIL

Back hurt you? Can't straighten
up without feeling sudden pains.
sharp aches and twinges? Now, lis
ten! 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 Liniment." Nothing else
takes out soreness, lameness and
stiffness so quickly. You simply rub
it on and out comes the pain. 1t is
perfectly harmless and doesn't burn
or discolor the skin.
Timber up. Don't suffer. Get a
small trial bottle from any drug
store. and after using it just once,
you'll forget that you ever had back
ache, lumbago or sciatica, because
your back will never hurt or cause
any more misery. 1t never disap-
points and has been recommended
for 50 years. Stop drugging kid
neys. They don't cause backache.
because they have no nerves, there
fore can not cause pain.-Adv.
