SAYS - NOW STIFF
JOINTS MUST CO.!
New Discovery Limbers EN-
Up and Even the Creek
ing Ceases.

Yes; it's true-the world progress
eS.
All you have to do nowadays to
timber up that stiff, rusty knee joint
is to squeeze Il half inch of miracle
working substance from Il tube.
Then rub it on the offending part
for about quarter of Il minute or
until it soaks through the skin and
disappears on it's errand Of mercy.
Then read the evening newspapers
and go to bed.
The chances are that your mis-
behaving knee joint will Lose it's
"creak" while you are dreaming
about the high fences you used to
leap when you were a youngster.
"And in the morning." says one who
has tried the new discovery, you'll
feel so happy that you'll want to
jump into your sportiest clothes and
walk briskly down the street just to
show the neighbors that you are not
as old as they think you are"
Joint Ease they call this wonder
working substance, for the reason
that when ordinary remedies fail to
timber up the stiff, inflamed rheuma-
tic joint, or reduce the swelling,
Joint Ease succeeds.
It's good name for good, clean,
penetrating prescription that in just
a few months has proven to multi
tude of people that lame, swollen,
distorted joints can speedily have
the kinks taken out of them and work
as smoothly as ever.
But Joint-Ease is for bothersome
joints, whether in knee, ankle, hip,
shoulder, spine or finger, and for
that purpose it's sale is immense.
All druggists have big supply of it
and druggists everywhere report u
big demand.
Always remember, when Joint Ease
gets in joint agony gets out-quick.

Crime does not pay" Mr.. Lewis
says. "Soon the law reaches out

It. For one Of the peculiar things
about the forger Is that, while be
may devise a clever scheme that
t..;aEs 8 rich return on its initial
trial, he continues TO work 1t until
caught.
Fortunately, there appears to be
weak spot in the best laid
scheme. And just as soon as this
weak spot is uncovered. it is broad
cast to all the banks in the land.
So the banks, informed as to the
method of approach that the forger
will make. and the little peculiar

Auto Forces Use
OF Green Manure
Constant Cultivation Also
Cause, Says British Agri-
culturiSt
BY NEA Service

Manhattan, kas., Oct. 24.-The
automobile is forcing farmers to use
green manure, where formerly they
had plentiful supply of the barn
yard variety.
This and the loss Of virgin fertil-
ity under constant cultivation, are
the reasons for the turn to green
manure, given by DR.. H. j. Page, of
Rothamsted, England, where the
worlds Oldest agricultural expert
ment station is conducted.
To furnish farmers information
and seek new sources Of supply for
the new variety of fertilizer, expert
ments with green manure are now
being conducted at the Wisely ex-
pertinent station in England.
DR.. Page stopped at the Kansas
State Agricultural College here on
u tour of laboratories and expert
mental stations in this country. His
remarks about green manure COW
cred one Of the many subjects he
took up with the officials here.
Observations made here, says DR..
Page, point to the displacement of
the horse by the motor truck and
tractor and the resultant reduction
of barnyard manure. Truck farm
ers dependent on this fertilizer have
therefore had to resort to use of
green manure.
More non-nitrogenous green ma
nure crops, such as mustard, are
used in England than in the United
States, DIR. Page remarks. But the
, matter of green manures will have
to receive more attention in this
country as the land loses its virgin
fertility under constant cultivation

Mr.. Lewis says, continuing
IF. Mayer would open acconnta

around $4,000 BY kiting checks
back and forth between the several
banks. he would establish his iden

known as a man accustomed 70

After conducting these pre-
liminaries for q few weeks, Mayer
would go to the bank where he had
his largest account and ask tina,
a certified check be issued to him
for substantially all Of the money
remaining to his credit. From the
genuine check, he would make toul
or five duplicates.
I'm turn, Mayer would visit the
other banks. where he had 20
tablished small accounts. lnasmucS
as he had cashed checks for some
time, Mayer generally had little

Washington, Oct. 24.-The politi
cal pcrplcxitics Of the &. O. p. will
not end with the election of Calvin
Coolidge on Nov. !, should that re-
suit. crown the efforts of Republican
campaigners.
For even with Il Republican vic
tory, carrying nominally Rcpub-
lean House and Senate-since most
members of the La Toilette bloc in
Congress will be elected under that
designation-the job of organizing
party leadership in the two houses
Of Congress will be a trying and dif-
ficult task, inviting much tribulation
and woe.
Word now reaching Washington
is that it is extremely doubtful
whether Henry Cabot Lodge, Repub-
lean leader in the upper house, ever
again resumes his seat in the Senate.
Lodge, now almost rs, has hcen
in poor health for the past two
years. He recently underwent an
operation, which seems to have been
negative i'm results. He has not left

A second operation is said to be

survive the ordeal of another.

by death or disability, would force f;
