MIR. FRANK STRAIGHT
 IN LYCEUM COURSE

Mir. Frank Speaight. the man who makes Dickens live' will be the next at- traction in the Lyceum. He gives a re- cital January 26 in the auditorium of the Central High school
 MT. Speaight is a well-known English actor, and is famous for his interpreta- tion of "Pickwick Papers,, concerning which he says: Without the slightest doubt 'Pickwick' is the most popular of all Dickens novels. Some people say that certain of the characters were exaggea- ated. Very likely, and I expect they are all the better for their exaggeration. We read our 'Pickwick' twice because we have remembered it; we often read our modern novel twice because we have for gotten it; and there lies chasm of diff ference between the two.
 Mir. Speaight has the knack of carrying his audience with him to the exclusion of all else.
 The reading will be held Tuesday, and is sure to be one of the best attractions ir the Lyceum course. It will begin at 8:15, Special car service will be given both before and after the lecture.

Carefully Treat
 Children's Colds

Neglect of children's colds often lays the foundation of serious lung trouble in later life. On the other hand 1t is harmful to continually dose delicate little stomachs with internal medicines or to keep the children always indoors. The ideal way to avoid colds is to keep plenty of fresh air in the bedroom and at the first sign of trouble apply Vicks ''Vap- O. Rub" Group and Pneumonia Salve over the throat and chest, cover ing with warm flannel cloth The body heat releases antiseptic vapors that are inhaled all night long, opening the air passages and healing the in- famed membrane.
