ternal Medicines for Group and
Cold Troubles.

Mrs. ]. S. Pugh, $40 Market ST.,
and Mrs. Mary Bolton, 105 Ravine St.,
both Of Fulton, Mo-. have found, in
common with many other Missouri
mothers, that it is no longer necessary
to dose children with internal medi-
cines for cold troubles. In the South
Vicks Vap-O-Rub is the standard
remedy for these troubles, but it was
only last winter that it was introduced
here. Vap-O-Rub was discovered by
North Carolina druggist. He found
how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Thyme, Euca-
lyptus, Cubebs and Juniper, in salve
form, so that when applied to the
body, the ingredients are vaporized
by the body heat.
These vapors are inhaled with each
breath, through the air passages, to
the lungs, carrying the medication d.
rect to the affected parts, and, in ad-
dition, Vick's is absorbed through the
skin, taking OUT the tightness and

Simple Diet of the Turk.

The simple diet of the Turk has
taken nothing from his good physique;
rather likely it is one Of the main
sources of his health and strength.
The Turkish porter, or hamal, dimes

together with melon, or a bunch OF
grapes, or an onion, or piece of
cheese, to the cost of another cent, and
considers his meal complete Yet his

CARMEN AND CULTURE
Geraldine Farrar and Horace
Mann-Operatic Propa-
ganda in the Work.

They have a Horace Mann Park in
Melrose, Mass, so named because the
site was once occupied by Horace
Mann school. There are Horace Mann
schools in lots of places-a whole
string Of them from Franklin, Mass,
whore Horace Mann was born, to Vel
low Springs, Ohio, where Horace Mann
died. Horace Mann, it may be remem-
bered, was a truly great man, who did
many things designed to make people
good and wise and happy. He tried to
suppress intemperance, and lotteries,
and slavery. and corporal punishment
in the public schools. All this and
much more that Horace Mann did, es-
pecially in the way Of establishing
schools and teaching the world how
they ought to be managed, was lauda-
bile; and that's the reason so many
schools and things are named after him.
But he made one mistake, so far as
his reputation in Melrose is concerned
he wasn't born there. Geraldine Farrar

and went TO the Horace Mann School,
