STOP THAT COLD
Distressing throat--that so often lead« to
com m ch«t or
something icrioui—gcnerallv responds
to good old Mutterole with the first
sppTication. Should be more effective if
used ones every hour for fixe hours,
. This famous blend of oil of mustard,
camphor, menthol and other helpful ingredients
brings relief naturally. Musterole
gets action because it is a scientific
••cotmfer-irHfofir"—not just a salve
—it penetrates snd stimulates blood
circulation, helps to draw out infection
and pain. Used by millions for 20 years.
Recommended by doctors and nurses.
To Mothers—Mutterole is also

small children. Ask for Children's

Springfield. HL. Mar. X-VFh-
Fourteen years having elapsed since
Joseph Young was sentenced, the
authorities decided that it was about
time to put hfrn in the Illinois
reformatory.
Superintendent John R. Cranor of
the Pontiac, HI., reformatory advised
Attorney General Oscar E.
Carlstrom that Young was sentenced
on December 18, 1918. but .did not
reach the institution until February
4, 1933.
Young was 20 when sentenced.
Now he is 34. So much time had
elapsed between the time of sentence
and committment that Camor
asked the attorney general what effect
if any. the delay had on the
status of the prisoner. Carlstrom
advised Cranor he had no alternative
but to accept him.
Presumably, Cranor said. Young's
committment papers were lost by a
jail clerk back in 1918 and new
ones were Just recently Issued.

government, the British army,
religion, family life and the league
of nations. The plot didn't hit people
as very important, serving at
best as a vehicle for Shaw's wit and
philosophy.
