Dangerous sickness often 
starts with a cold. Ward off 
your colds with Musterole 
before pneumonia starts. 
Musterole is a clean, white ointment 
made with oil of mustard. It has all 
the healing properties of the old-fash¬ 
ioned mustard plaster but none of the 
unpleasant features. 
Musterole is not messy to apply and 
does not blister. 
At the first sneeze or sniffle take 
the little white jar of Musterole from 
the bathroom shelf and rub the oint¬ 
ment gently over the congested spot. 
With a tingling warmth it penetrates 
the skin and goes right down to the 
•eat of the trouble. 
Rheumatism, tonsillitis, lumbago, 
coughs and colds are all symptoms 
that call for Musterole. 
To Mothers: Musterole is also made 
in milder form for babies and small 
children. Ask forChildren’sMusterole.

Br-r-r! We have another cold wave, a 
real one. this time! If there is anything 
more changeable than the climate of the 
Great Lakes region I hope never to see 
it; and we usually get the southern edge 
of each spasm. It was 12 below this 
morning, and the cold must have come 
late in the night, so I look for worse to¬ 
morrow. The forecast nromises a little 
relief by tomorrow afternoon. IIow I 
loathe these black zero nights, ever since 
the dreadful Winter of 1917-18, when I 
fought single-handed with the elements, 
shoveling snow, carrying water, ashes, 
fuel for four fires, and taking care of my 
sick mother, in a house that could not he 
made comfortable. We have had no such 
Winter since. And this, even if it 
matches it in severity, is beginning a 
month later, part of this house can be 
warmed, and there is nobody depending 
on me for comfort. E. M. C. 
Notes from a Busy Home 
The widwinter holidays have come and j 
gone. To many of us they brought pleas¬ 
ant reunions, joys in the way of gift giv¬ 
ing and receiving, the coming of loved 
ones to spend the holidays with us, while 
to others, no doubt, the coming of Christ¬ 
mas and New Year’s Day always bring 
sorrow and sad regrets because of the va¬ 
cant chairs, the going out, never to re¬ 
turn, of members of tlie home circle, and 
for this reason there must always be a 
mingling of joy and sorrow, of thankful¬ 
ness and regrets at this season. Person¬ 
ally, I have had a very pleasant time. 
The home circle remains intact and all 
were with us during the time. The three 
daughters who teach in other parts of 
the State spent Christmas with us, and, 
as in the past, they brought substantial 
gifts; shoes, clothing and such things as 
they knew would render service, and 
which they knew my meager earnings 
could hardly reach. The children were 
not forgotten, for there were a few sim¬ 
ple, inexpensive toys, as well as fruit, 
nuts and candy. The daughter who 
teaches in a section where many fine 
pecans grow remembered us with 50 lbs. 
of these, and we have enjoyed them, too. 
With the passing of the old year the 
children all went back to their work, and 
the home brood re-entered school, while 
I again took up the regular routine of 
household duties, cooking three meals a 
day, caring for three little folks, and do¬ 
ing my mite towards earning food and 
raiment for those still under the home 
roof. This is no small task, yet when I 
remember how swiftly the years pass and 
how soon the last of the seven will have 
finished her education and will, no doubt, 
go out into the world to take up the bat¬ 
tle of life for herself, I do not feel like 
complaining. This will be a very hard 
year on us from the fact that all four of 
the remaining children will graduate, 
which always calls for some expense in 
the way of clothing, class rings, etc., but 
the older girls always lend a helping hand 
when necessary. The oldest daughter at 
home finishes college the middle of this 
month, while the only son and his sister, 
three years younger, will graduate from 
high school in August, and the “wee 
lamb” of the fold graduates from the 
grades in May; an older daughter also 
obtains her degree in the Rummer, and 
the very oldest her college diploma, while 
the only remaining girl is pounding away 
on a degree also. So many of my old 
farm friends accuse me of being very 
foolish for working so hard to educate 
these children as I have; however, I only 
regret that I could not have included 
music, expression and art in their earlier 
training, for I believe that these things 
are easier mastered during earlier years. 
So far we have had one of the mildest 
Winters during my 25 years residence in 
Oklahoma. A six-inch snow fell the last 
of November, but melted away in two 
days and, so far, there has been no more 
snow and very little freezing weather; 
the turnip tops, honeysuckle vines and 
much grass and other vegetation have been 
green all Winter. Many farmers have 
had difficulty in keeping their meat, how¬ 
ever. Just now we are having ideal 
butchering weather; not severely cold, 
nor yet too warm for the successful cur¬ 
ing of meat. Most farmers in this section 
kill and cure their own supply of meat 
products. The low market price of the 
past two or three years has encouraged 
the practice of keeping more meat on the 
farms instead of selling on foot, as was 
the practice during the time of higher 
prices. 
The very pleasant Winter has made it 
possible to keep well ahead with the farm 
work, and much plowing for Spring crops 
has been done. The high prices of cot¬ 
ton, together with the almost failure of 
corn last season, will mean an increased 
acreage of the fleecy staple. Cotton has 
been classed as our most important 
money crop for several years, while the 
extreme high prices during the war had 
the undesirable effect of practically cut¬ 
ting out the growing of hogs, cattle and 
grain in this section, which is especially 
adapted to live stock farming.
