Rub good old Musterole on the
congested parts and see how quick

Colds are merely congestion. Mus
terole, made from pure oil Of mus

simple ingredients, is a counter-ir
liant which stimulates circulation
and helps break up the cold.
AS effective as the messy ole

without the blister.
Just rub it on with your finger

 The fifth grade, who are touring South America, have written homi from Peru. The class voted tha Jack Gurr's letter was the best writ ten one.
 Lima, Peru. S.A.,
 October 23, 1923. Dear Folks:
 l am having very nice time ant am feeling fine so do not worry about me. Our boat certainly is a peacl and much better than any of tho boats up there.
 l am sitting on the roof of our ho- tel writing this letter. Our hotel i, called the San Jose. Miss Hinsel- man told us not to stamp too hard on the roof or We would go through into somebody's room. There are a grea many flat roofs in Lima. I will tell you how they make these roofs Mos, | of the houses are made of ligh framework of bamboo poles. There is a covering put on the roof and on this they put layer of earth and then they often plant flowers and grass. You may be wondering why the dirt does not soak through. You see it seldom ever rains here so the; don't have to worry about that
 From where I am sitting can lool over the roofs and I notice there ar. great many roofs made the sam, way as I have described. There ar, chicken GOODS on some of the roofs wrote you last from Bogota. ant I have seen great many things sine, then. We just arrived in Lima & We are rather tired. I got sea-sicl coming down from Guayaquil.
 We left Bogota and took the trair back to our steamer at Buenayen tura. We sailed southward to Quay quill in Ecuador We did not like Guayaquil because it was dirty. hot and damp. It is an unhealthy city
 From Guayaquil we took a rivel steamer up the Guayas river on om way to Quito. We went through |; funny little town called Bodegas Most of the houses seemed to be built on stilts right in the river. Thi was because every year they have |; | flood season.
 We left the boat and went up tn, mountain on donkeys and in som' places it was so steep I had to pu' my arms around the donkeys neck t. keep from sliding off.
 We did not reach Quito that nigh so we had to sleep in little hut. w did not enjoy staying here as the peo pie let the cats and dogs and chick ems run in and out of the house. Quito was a very modern city There were many Indians on tho streets who wore ponchos. Ethan took Betty into an ice crean store to buy her an ice cream cone strange Indian from the interior 0 Ecuador stepped up and tried to sel them a dried human skull. Bett. was very much frightened and afte, that they did not try to run ahead of the rest of us.
 Miss Hinselman says it is almos' time to stop witing if we want to gt for a ride around the city of Lima so I must stop because I want to g. down stairs and clean up. Your loving son. JACK GURT P. s. Do not worry about me be cause I am having the time of m life. Write to me at Santiago, Chile Jack

LIGHT WINES AND BEER
(Stroller's Weekly)

There is no more likelihood that repeal or modification of the present prohibition laws will enter into the campaign next year than there is that an attempt will be made to side step Lincoln's famous Emancipation Proclamation and re-establish human slavery. Leaders of both parties are opposed to any efforts to bring about a change for they we'll know that such efforts would mean ruin to their party and. so far as the coun- try is concerned it will emain Tight wine and peerless" In recent ad- dress Senator Frank, R. Willis of Ohio, is quoted as saying:
 SNOW WILL BE NINETY FEET DEEP IN FLORIDA AND PORTO RICO WILL HAVE MORE ICE BERGS THAN SPITZENBERGEN BEFORE THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT WILL BE REPEAL ED. Second, in my judgment there is on chance at all that the Congress of the United States will modify that amendment in any respect. And even if the men of America should make such mistake, I have enough confidence in American womanhood to believe that it will never permit the saloon to come back Third, there is no likelihood that the enforcing law will be repealed or amended. And even if Congress should repeal or amend it, have enough confi dence in that clear-headed man in the White House to be perfectly cer- tain that he would veto the measure. But perfectly good people, who ad- init that they are good. say, We do not want the saloon back, but we are willing to have beer and wine And what are we going to call the place where the beer is sold? It will be the same old saloon. There Is no use mincing words; that is what the wine and beer proposition means; it is simply a camouflaged effort to bring back the saloon.
 But let us not permit ourselves to forget that an unfriendly Congress and an unfriendly President could change this law in a day. We must keep on the firing line and finish our work. I have more respect for the the bootlegger than for man who 1retends to be decent and who pa tronizes the bootlegger."
 And the Ohio senator is right for there is no way in which a designa- tion can be made between light wines and beer and the hard stuff. There may be no particular harm in the former but to have them without the latter is the problem that no political pary dares attempt to surmount.
 And another thing is this: There is not one former or present drinking man in hundred who cares whoop for light wines and beer-especially the light wines. It is the hard goods" that are missed and the pre- tended yearning for the milder bey- erages is mostly bluff.

Several thousand young Americans

Psychologists representing more than
100 American universities and coll
leges are here today to attend the
opening of the thirty-second annual
meeting of the American Psychologi-
cal Association. Nationally known
psychologists will deliver papers on
various subjects, OF psychological
study. The executive. council of the
association was in session yesterday
preparing business matters to be sub
mitted to the convention. Ballots on
the election of officers for the coming
year mailed to" the council Were
counted, but the new officers probably
will not be- made known until after
the business me eetfng tonight.
One of the principal topics expect
ed to come before the meeting Is that
of certification of psychologists on a
plan similar to the licensing Of ply
sicians. Leaders of the association
are said to favor such a plan in op-
position to so-called fake psycholo-
gists," who are said to circulate
throughout the country.
The convention will continue three
days. with DIR. Lewis NJ. Terman of
Leland Stanford, jr., University of
California presiding.
