OUCH! LUMbAGO!
 RUB PAINS FROM!
 SORE, LAME BACK

Back hurts you? Can't straighten up without sudden pain, sharp aches and twinges? Now listen! That's lum- bago, sc!atica, maybe from strain, and you'll get relief the moment you rub your back with soothing, pene- trating St. Jacobs Oil. Nothing else takes out soreness, lameness and stiff ness so quickly. You simply rub it on your back, and out comes the pain. It is harmless, and doesn't burn the skin.
 Timber up! Don't suffer! Get 2 small trial bottle of old, honest St. Jacobs Oil from any drug store, and after using 1t just once you'll forget that you ever had backache, lumhago of sciatica, because your back will never hurt, or cause any more misery. It never disappoints. and has been recommended for GO years.

HOPE TO EXCAVATE IN TURKISH LANDS

British Press Wants America to Give
 Better Terms for Funding of Big War Debt.
 London. Dec 2s.--In all newspa per comment on the Baldwin financial
 mission to the United States hope is expressed that the terms hxed by the American congress for repayment of the British debt may be modified. The terms are universally regarded here as excessively onerous and in some quarters are described as such as Great Britain would not dream of frying to exact from a debtor" | The period Of redemption Is par ticularly condemned and Otto H. H. Kahn's suggestion for ~ year term is thought far more reasonable than the a5 years set by congress. The chief hope here for modifca- tion is based upon the American bank CTS who, it is trusted. may be able to influence congress and American public opinion in effecting easier terms.
