Disharoon, have occurred following
many Of the nearly 100 divorces
which he claims to have secured

HOW OUTDOOR MEN
TREAT MUSCLESTRAIM
Sprains, bruises, rheumatism
also yield to Sloan's

Outdoor men who do hard muscular
work, who undergo exposure and
risk of accident every day, know
how necessary it is to give prompt
attention to muscle-strain, bruises,
sprains and other injuries.
A member of a survey party, sent
out by the government of British
Columbia to do subdivision work
three hundred miles from civiliza-
ton writes;
"The chief OF our party with rare
foresight brought along as a part
OF our first aid supply a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment And through
weeks OF exposure and hardship we
found 1t our best help for sprains,
bruises, stiff muscles and rheuma-
tism.''
Sloan's gives real relief because
II doesn't just deaden the pain. It
helps your body to throw off the
cause.
Just a little Sloan's patted Oh
lightly-and healing tide Of fresh
new blood is sent right to the place
that hurts. The aching and stiff
ness are helped right away. Get

INTEREST BILL

BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
The United States Government
has spent more than $1,000 600, 900
for the use OF other peoples money
since It'll, according to figures OBJ
tanned at the Treasury today.
Interest charges on the public
debt, which reached a maximum
of 81 ,O55 OBS. 900 in 1923. viii be
approximately s7sO!OOO, 900 this year.
They will decline progressively as
the public debt is retired.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
holds that among the most i'm
portant detectives in the Govern
ment's economy campaign is the
orderly retirement Of the debt to
save enormous interests costs.
The world war was responsible
for more than half OF the interest
paid out in the history of the Gov
eminent. About half OF the total
interest fell due between 1920 and
1925.
In but two years, 1886 and 1887,
was the Government out Of the
hole, no interest having been
charged up during that period. In
terest average about $1,000, 900 an
nually from It'll to 1866 when II
jumped to $133 200 900 as a result
of civil war costs. The last an
nuaI interest payment before the
world war amounted to $22 100000.
Approximately $6,1S2,00O,0 900 OF
the outstanding public debt ma.
lures before November /, 1880. ii
must be retired or refunded during
that period. New issues at lower
interest rates are expected to re
place that part of the debt which
cannot be retired.
Careless American investors are
losing nearly 81 900, 900 annually
as a result of failure to cash Gov
eminent securities valued at Sill,
6SO,O00 upon which interest has
ceased.

MAYNARD CAFE
NOT PADLOCKED.

T. Morris Wampler attorney, who
is counsel for Harry Maynard. pro-
prietor of the Maple Tree Inn, 1416
X st. N. w., in letter to The
Washington Times today declares
that the story in the Times yes
terday concerning action in the
District courts against Maynard,
was incorrect, and that Maynard
has never, had any place padlocked
by the Government authorities.
f"I have defended him on charges
of selling liquor and he has been
acquitted and never has he been
convicted" Mr.. Wampler's letter
states.
The case pending against May
nard in court at present, United
States District Attorney Peyton
Gordon explained today, is a charge
of contempt of court, growing out
of the Governments accusation that
Maynard violated a temporary re-
straining order" issued against his
cafeteria in February, 1925. The
alleged violation of the temporary
restraining. order grew out of a
raid on the cafeteria by Capt. Guv
f. Burlfngame's flying squadron"

Conn. TOBACCO
MEN ARE HIT

HARTFORD, Conn, March 1S.--
Because OF "a steady shift Of smok-
ers from cigar to cigarette" tobacco
growers OF the Connecticut valley
are left with some 100000 pounds
OF tobacco on their hands and q
credit situation that is "a source
Of embarrassment to both borrower
and lender"
So the State agricultural depart
ment has stepped In and after q
study OF the situation is advising
the hundreds of tobacco growers to
reduce their acreage by 90 per cent
permanently and as much more
temporarily as they can economic
ally.
Dozens of tobacco growers in the
Connecticut valley district have
gone into bankruptcy in the last
two or three years, and the once
vast fields OF cotton-covered tobacco
plants that from distance resen1-
bier snow banks in midsummer have
been shrinking nOticeabiy from sea-
son to season.
If the States plans are carried
out, the reduction will cause a
striking change in the summer
landscape and 1t win also make
strange changes IN what for years
was great Connecticut industry.
But the State, in advising curtail-
ment, warns against the Kentucky
situation Of two decades ago when
certain regions there lost their
dominant market position by the
competition they fostered through
program of complete cessation OF
production.
BY a happy medium of curtail-
uerft, State officials believe Con
necticut tobacco growers can re-
duce their crops and hold on to
their market.
