Everybody knows II color glands and

why not rub a stimulating tonic into the

Rub Musterole on the congested

relief as effectively as the messy old

Musterole, made from pure oil of
mustard, camphor, menthol and other
simple ingredients, is a counter-irri-

helps break up the cold.
You will feel a warm tingle as it en-

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

"Soul" was the subject of the les
son-sermon on Sunday, August Is, in
all churches of Christ, Scientist.
Golden Text: Rejoice the soul of
thy servant: for unto thee, o Lord,
do I lift up my soul' (Psalms 86:Q.
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "Incline
your ear, and come unto me; bear
and your soul shall live; and will
make an everlasting covenant with
you, even the sure mercies of Da-
vid" lisa. $3.50.
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: Life
is the law of Soul, even the law of
the spirit of Truth, and Soul is new
er without its Representative. Mans
individual being can no more die nor
disappear in unconsciousness than
can Soul, for both are immortal. The
belief that existence is contingent on
matter must be met and mastered by
Science, before Life can be under
stood and harmony obtained" (p.
427).

sv Thomson 4 McKlnnonl

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.--With gen.
eral news more or les sroutine and
colorleSS, except for the expectation
of the publication of the railroad
consolidation plan later in the day
the views of the administration are
probably of more Importance than
the expression of opinion as to the
state of trade contained in the
weekly business reviews. The White
House observation that the dark
clouds which were looming have
swept away tends to substatntiate
the idea that sentiment has under
gone a complete change and with
confidence being rapidly restored We
should soon see a revival In general
business. The changed attitude
upon the part of the interstate COM
merce commission for the railroads
will probably be revealed in the
merger plans and 1t would not be
surprising II investor: devoted more
attention to the excellent opportuni-
ties offered n the rail group. Re-
vival of investment buying in the
rails should benefit the general
market, now that we have a much
stronger technical position estab-
liShed.

Bn L n1IeU FTCSS
MUNCIE, Dec. lathe murderer
of Mr.. and Mrs. George F. Heath,
aged farm couple of near Muncie,
was to be returned to Indiana from
Kentucky today, and placed in a
Jail more distant from the crime
scene than Muncie to avoid posi-
BILE mob violence.
James Wood, 37-year-old she'll
shocked World war veteran, con-
fessed to Indiana officers who cap
tured him at his home near Albany,
KY, that he killed the old couple
for whom he worked last summer as
a farm hand.
Wood confessed also that he had
stolen the Heaths automobile and
several lambs and chickens Nov. 20.
Officers here believe that he killed
the couple through fear that they
would cause his arrest for the theftS.
Those who made the arrest did not
indicate the motive given by the
slayer.
Sheriff McAuIey said that al
though Wood was Shell-shocked, he
has no reason to believe that his
mentality is still affected.
Local officers believe Wood may
have had an accomplice in the muir
der, as evidence at the Heath home
indicated two men visited it. They
will question the confessed slayer
on this point
Bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Heath
were discovered in their bedrooms
Thursday morning. Each had been
beaten with club.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Silence
~ will reign in Judge PANS SUI
perior courtroom Feb. 3, when the
$4,000 alienation of affections
suit brought by Mrs. Lena Mick
enham against Mrs. Louise Ruth
erford Mickenham comes up for
trial.
Both women are deaf mutes.
The husband, whose affections are
in question, also is deaf and dumb,
as are all witnesses in the case.
Tie first Mrs. Mickenham
charges that her former husband
Ashley Mickenham of Wichita,
Kan, met Miss Rutherford at a
party and began making love to
her in sign language.
Mickenham' Wooing was said to
have been so ardent that after an
evening spent in conversations"
with Miss Rutherford he was I'M
able to talk to his wife because
of the WEAKNESS of his hands"
Because of the scandal aroused
by the inaudible, but visible, love-
making, Mrs. Lena Mickenham
obtained a divorce. Two weeks
later her ex-husband married
Miss Rutherford.
