Artists Wife Tells
of Using Scotch Liniment
For Relief of Pain

Many who have visited West Point,
Va, are familiar with the delightful
Barker Studio where they saw many
beautiful portraits and Virginia Views
The managers wife, Mrs. b. Benton
Barker, knows about Mysterious Pain
Ease, the Scotch Liniment. We quote
from a letter from Mrs. Barker-she
wrote: I'VE have been using it for n
number of years. My sister, Miss NJ.
G. Lourie of Brooklyn, n. y, and
number of her friends have been using
it, | have recommended it, and have two
or three families using it."
So it is the users who recommend
Mysterious Pain Ease to one another.
Pain is usually from inflammation. Mys-
ferrous Pain Ease relieves inflammation
and that is why it gives the desired re-
lief in so many different troubles where
pain is present like pain from neuralgia.
lumbago, stiff neck, muscular colds Wee
the shoulders, chest and back muscles
are in pain, pains arising from infla-
nation, muscular cramps, neuritis, rheu-
matism and sprains Of all kinds.
MysteriOu" Pain Ease is q liniment
formula+"'' by Scotch doctor He
used l. in his practice and in fact became
famous on account of it. 1t did take
out pain so quickly that people thought
there was something mysterious about
it and so the liniment was named by the
grateful sufferers who used it.
Mysterious Pain Ease is sold by all
leading dealers. Any druggist can get
it from his jobber-Adv.

CHESTERFIELD WINS.
Gets Decision in Keene Court in Sheep
Damage Case.

Question as to ownership of a dog
which got into q sheep pasture In Chester-
fields n. H., in August, 1918, and killed
ewes and lambs was decided in superior
court in Keene Friday afternoon when
Judge Thomas L. Marble returned YER
diet for the plaintiff in the case of the
town of Chesterfield against Mrs. Emily
Rudolph of West Keene. Attorney Phihp
II. Faulkner was counsel for the winning
side while Mayor w. H. Watson appeared
for the defendant.
Mayor Watson contended that the dog
belonged to Henry Rudolph, son of the
defendant, stating the animal was gwen
to the latter by Charles Russell of West
Keene The court ruled otherwise when
it found the dog was licensed for the
mother by an agent and that her name
appeared on the license. At the time the
dog was given away young Rudolph was
only II years old.
The sheep killed were owned by RenOuf
Russell, alderman, of keene. They were
pastured in what is known as the White
pasture in Chesterfield. Another dog
with the Russell or Rudolph dog invaded
the pasture, and before Charles Scripture,
the foreman employed by the owner of the
sheep, got them scared off, six ewes and
two lambs had been killed and others Sc
verely bitten. Mr.. Russell collected $40
from the town for his losses.
Harold A. Randall, chairman of the
board of selectmen in Chesterfield in 1913,
and George 4. futile, another member,
testified to being called to the pasture and
seeing the damage done by the dogs. Mr..
Randall stated that from the description.
he got of one of the dogs, he was certain
that it was owned by Mrs. John Russell.
Both town officials told of making a set
Element with the owner of the sheep. 1
Mr.. Scripture testified to finding
collie dog dead in the Chesterfield road
about three miles from the pasture and to
it as the animal that got in
on the sheep. He said the animal was
killed by shooting, but he was unable to
say who put it out of the way.

Aver 700 Tonight

:. The Women's Civic and Community
club has been instrumental in secur-
ing for distribution many cuttings
from shrubs and vines and have al
ready interested q number of people
in planting them. They still wish to
secure more of these so that they
may be able to distribute more.
Those who have any Of these cut
tings to spare and those who wish
to secure them should telephone 692
and leave the information. When
these may be had for the asking there
should be a great demand for them.
It is also desired that all those
who have made improvements in their
grounds and homes in the way of
planting shrubs, vines, flowers and
trees telephone this information to
number 692 as it is desired to collect
this information for use of the judges
in making decisions in awarding the
cup in the fall for the most improved
avenue. This of course does not ap-
ply to merely cleaning up the lawns
and removing refuse but must be
something in the nature Of perma-
nent improvement. This information
is asked for all season and it is hoped
the residents Of the various streets
will take interest in this matter and
arouse the greatest possible interest.
An announcement of particular in
terest to all who wish to plant trees
is the fact that Mayor L. F. johnson
has succeeded in obtaining two thou
sand four-year-old Norway Pine trees
for distribution. Mr.. Johnson will
distribute these from his residence at

without cost and those obtaining trees
should inquire from Mr.. Johnson as
to the best methods of ..transplanting
them if they already are not familiar
with the necessary procedure.
If advantage is taken Of this offer
Bemidji should have avery fine add.

the park board would undoubtedly be
able to find many suitable locations
for many such trees. Il e -
