Often it prevents a cold from

It does all the good work of

Musterole is a clean, white
ointment, made of oil of mustard
and other home simples. 1t is
recommended by many doctors
and nurses. Try Musterole for
sore throat, cold on the chest,
rheumatism, lumbago, pleurisy,

Only very recently has it been ascer-
tanned that the sun is 4 variable star,
emitting at times 10 per cent more ener-
Py than at others. That 10 Per cent
makes a whole lot of difference in our
comfort. Many variable stars have been
spotted by astronomers. They brighten
at intervals and then fade |perceptibly.
The sun is so near to US and so brilliant
that we fail to notice differences in It's
degree Of brightness. hut our weather is
very markedly affected thereby.
There are. however, other factors con
cerned, and Cf these perhaps The most
important are the sur spots, which are
vast WhirliuP storms of fire on the sur
face ot,the solar luminary. Our planet,
dropped into one Of them, would disap-
pear like d child's toy marble thrown into
a furnace.
All Of our weather is absolutely gov
erned and controlled by the sun. DR..
Charles Greedy Abbot, astro physicist Of
the Smithsonian Institution. and other
authorities are Of the opinion that a more
definite knowledge of solar phenomena
will make it practicable to forecast the
weather with accuracy months and even
years in advance.
Put to 90 back to the sunspot cycle.
There are always some of these spots,
gigantic erupticns Of flaming gas and i'm
candescent matter.
Once in eleven years a whole flock Of
these spots begin to disappear. With a
good telescope one can see them travel a.
round that orb as it revolves. In fact, it
is by observation of sunspots that we
have found out that the sun turns on its
axis once in tWenty-seven days.

1t is now plain that whenever there is

The second III shade between US and

we have a thicker blanket around the

In that year there was not only the

but the mighty volcano, Mount Tombo-

the lives of so, 600 people and sent into
the atmosphere clouds of dust that pro-
