Guard Against "Flu'
 With Musterole

Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with a cold. The moment you get those warning aches, get busy with good old Musterole.
 Musterole is counter-irritant that relieves congestion (which is what a coldreallyis and stimulates circulation. It has all the good qualities of the old-fashioned mustard plaster without the blister.
 Just rub it on with your finger-tips. First you will feel a warm jingle as the healing ointment penetrates the pores, then soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief.
 Have Musterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness. To Mothers. Mustsrole is now made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's Musterols.

able for road construction in coop
Grafton with the several States, the
agricultural appropriation bill for
the fiscal year 1926 was passed by the
House late yesterday and sent to the
Senate.
This is the second of the big an
nual supply bills that the House has
already disposed of, and the Navy
appropriation bill will probably be
reported to the House tomorrow
The agricultural bill as it goes to
the Senate carries some $59, ,e00
more than the current appropriations
but is still several million dollars
under the budget estimates.
Bill PASSES Quickly.
The bill was passed after less than
two days consideration by the House
Fewer than a dozen amendm is
were offered. and those adopted rep
resented only minor changes.
Disposal of the agricultural bill
opened the way in the House to the
naval appropriation bill, which is
slated for. consideration early next
week. The celerity with which the
first two appropriation bills have been
disposed of has encouraged floor
leaders in their hope of passing three
supply bills before the Christmas re-
cess.
Pending consideration of the naval
bill, the House will devote it's time
tomorrow to considering numerous
other. bills on the calendar.
