DON'T SUFFER
 WITH NEURALGIA
Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting through your head, when your skull seems as if it would split, just rub a little Musterole on your temples and neck. It draws out the inflammation, soothes awaythe pain, usually giving gquickrelief.
 Musterole ls clean, white ointment, made with oil of mustard. Better than a mustard plaster and does not blister.
 Many doctors and nurses frankly recommend Musteroie for core throat, bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rheuma- tisrn, lu1nbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet-colds of the chest (it often prevents pncu- monia).

APPROVES
THE MANDATE PLAN
PERMANENT BODY OF NINE
NATIONS TO BE CHOSEN
By THE COUNCIL.
Four Mandatory and Five Non. Manda.
tory Powers to Have Repre-
sentation.-Commiss to
Meet Once q Year.

Geneva.-The council of the league
Of nations on November 20, approved
the final draft Of the project for the
permanent mandates commission, def.
nitely accepting the tentative proposal
to have the commission comprise five
non-mandatory and four mandatory
powers. 1t was decided that all the
members be chosen by the council.
The permanent commission, it is
forecast, will probably meet once
year at Geneva and review the admin
istration Of the mandate holding coun-
tries.
Detailed rules for the commission
also were ratified.
The council did not consider the
proposed invitation to the United
States for its participation in the dis.
cussion over disarmament.
The committee on the admission of
new members finally agreed that
it is impossible to admit now the new
states carved out of old Russian terri
tory. The theory of the committee Is
that these states will eventually form
part of new Russian confederation,
entirely changing their present status.
The committee will recommend, how
ever, that, while these states are not
admitted to full membership, their
delegates shall be allowed to sit in
the assembly in a consulting capacity
without the right to vote. .
Am0nt; the important questions
which will come before the assembly
this week is the question of admitting
Austria and Bulgaria to the league Of
nations. Despite the strong opposition
of Serbia, Rumania and Greece to the
granting of membership to Bulgaria at
this time, large majority Of the dele
gates seem in favor of taking that step.
There is virtually no opposition in. the
case Of Austria, the application of
which probably will be favorably acted
upon in few days.

CONGRESS TO TAKE
UP RECLAMATION
THREE IRRIGATION DEVELOP
MENT MEASURES TO BE
BROUGHT BEFORE SESSION.
There Is No Certainty That Any OF the
Plans Will Receive Approval,
There Being Objections to Meas
ures in Some Quarters.

WashingtOn.-Atl last three concrete
plans for irrigation development in
the west, two Of them soldier settle
ment plans, will be brought before
congress at the approaching session,
all Of them plans which have been
studied by committees and which have
reached stages where they may be
taken up for consideration If there Is
sufficient sentiment and support be-
hind them.
The first is the soldier bonus bill,
which passed the house last session.
and is now in the finance committee
Of the senate. One section Of this bill
provides for the reclamation of arid
lands, the draining of swamp lands
and the recovery of cutover lands to
provide homes for soldiers. .'a
The second is the Borah bill, which
is virtually the soldier land settlement
feature of the bonus bill, with an i'm
pOrtant addition to the effect that the
government shall not buy private lands
for reclamation. 49,
The third is the SmoOt bill, ostens-
IDLY to aid and encourage irrigation
development with private capital, but
putting the federal government back of
such development in a way to insure
it's success. The Smoot bill, in its pres
ent form, Is not a soldier land bill.
To each of the three plans there Is
substantial objection in some quarters,
and advocates of soldier relief and of
reclamation extension are not agreed
among themselves as to which of the
plans, If any of them, shall be pushed
to ultimate passage. Indeed, there Is
no certainty that any Of the plans will
be passed during the short session.
But the agitation will be renewed and
each Of the three bills will be brought
to the front for discussion, If not for
action.
Both the bonus bill and the Borah
bill contemplate the appropriation by
congress of $500, 900, 900 over a period
of ten years. and on this ground, be-
cause Of the financial status of the
government, the secretary of the treas
ury recommended against both bills.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Governors and
governors-elect representing more
than half the states Of the union
voted at their annual conference on
Wednesday to begin an inquiry into
what was variously called the
'acute," alarming" and tragic" sit
uation facing farmers of the country
with Z view to recommending federal
legislation to assist them.
As first step toward carrying out
their plan, which was suggested by
Governor w. L. Harding of Iowa, the
conference appointed committee
consisting of Governors Harding,
Beckett Of North Carolina, Holcolm
Of Connecticut, Parker of Louisiana
and Goodrich Of Indiana, to make q
preliminary survey and report back
before the conclusion of the confer
snce. After that 1t Is contemplated
to send the committee to Washington
to urge legislation before congress,
which cOnvenes this month.

through extension, or adaptation, of
the federal reserve system. A second
proposal also scheduled to receive con-
sideration by the committee Is an.
other by Governor Harding that for

finance purchases Of American farm
products BY foreign countries unable,
through present lack Of funds, to
come into the American market. Act

Washington. - President Wilson
