here In Maysville. People who testi-
fled years ago to relief from backache

give confirmed testimony-declare the
results have lasted. How can any
Maysville sufferer longer doubt the
evidence?
Mrs. w. A. Schatzmann, Cos Fast

been irregular in action or have suf-
fered with a weakness or lameness

used a box or so Of Doan's and they
have always proven sufficient to cure
the complaint quickly"
On November 22, 1920, Mrs. Schatz-

cling Scrapes.

Washington, Feb. 10. - John L..
Kramer, Federal Prohibition Commits
soner. IL at war with women boot
leggers.
Women who violate the national
prohibition law may expect no len
iency from the enforcement officials
because of their sex" said Kramer.
Kramer's Office now Is prosecuting
several women who engaged in the
underground bootleg traffic in East
ern cities. Women who attempt to
evade the prohibition laws are often
more def than men in escaping de-
lection and covering their trails, ac-
cording to reports reaching Kramer.
Along the Canadian border women
are known to be operating in large
numbers. Recently women are known
to have Struggled liquor acress the
Canadian border from Montreal by
concealing bottles in their clothing"
said Kramer.
AT Detroit officials recently found
a woman who was making a daily bus
mess Of bringing several quart bottles
across the Detroit river from Windsor
She carried liquor in small quantities
compared with the operations of most
underground agents, who deal only in
cases. This woman had special pock-
cts and Innings in her attire in which
she was able to conceal several quarts
The woman, however, did very prof
liable business by making several
trips across the river each day.
in New Jersey women have been
found to be assisting in violations of
the law by riding in automobiles
which transported liquor" said Kram-
er THE theory was that officials
would not suspect automobiles in
which women were riding"

FINDING "NEUTRAL."

Car owners who remove the trans mission cover and gear shift lever in order to inspect or grease the gears sometimes find that after re- placing the parts they have set the gears in one of the speeds. This means that the gears cannot be put in neutral with the control lever. And unless this is discovered the driver is likely to have trouble when the motor is started.
 Though it appears difficult to set the gears in neutral while the cover is removed, it is a simple matter if one will remember that there are two sliding gears on the main shaft of the transmission. One is for high and intermediate speeds; the other for low and reverse. All the other gears on the main and coun- ter shafts are fixed. To put the gears in neutral simply move the two sliding gears to such position that they are not in mesh with any of the fixed gears. Then wher the cover with the shifter forks arc slid over the rings on the sliding gears the control lever will make the speed changes correctly.

Smith home at Cookville and to re- ceive some pleasing social courtesles at their hands. To say that the courtesy was generous, the home d real home, in the finer sense of that word, and the association with the pleasant little family one to re- member joyously, is putting 1t too mildly.
 Major Smith inherits a hospitable spirit. His years of mingling with men and matters of public import have heightened and furnished that gracious gift, rather than dulled and blunted it, as too often happens with public men.
 He is a good friend, a gracious host, a gifted, generous and courte- ous gentleman. Many friends re- joiced with him in his silver we'd ding anniversary. many friends hope sincerely to be at that golden Ju- bilee, twenty-five years hence, which will mark the fiftieth birth day of his married life. Many friends admit his success and re- joice in it.
 But the very best of his friends will stand out and affirm openly and without the slightest tincture of embarrassment that the best day s work the gallant major ever did was when-twenty-five years ago, he entered the race of life for the marriage handicap, and with Graem McGregor the prize of his winning.
 Of all his silver wedding gifts none could equal this gift of gen. erous fate which bestowed upon him the love of his girl-wife, the mother of his children, sterling sil- yer, one who, as she grows on in years, grows on in the grace of noble womanhood; one of whom her children are not ashamed to ''rise up and called her blessed" and whose friends find no keener pleas ure than the gracious sweetness of her friendship.
