Since its introduction here
short time ago, the new treatment
for cold troubles, known as Vick's
"Vap-O-Rub" Salve, has aroused
a great deal of interest among
local people, especially among
mothers with small children.
Local druggists report that num-
bers have taken advantage of their
80 day trial offer to see if Vick's
really will relieve these troubles
quicker than internal medicine.
With each sale they are giving a
refund blank, showing date of pur-
chase, which is good for your
money back if Vick's is not the
best thing you have ever trted.
For Group, coughs, head colds,
sore throat or bronchitis, apply
Vick's over the throat and chest,
covering with warm flannel cloth,
Leave the covering loose around
the neck so the vapors arising may
be freely inhaled. In addition,
Vick's is absorbed through the
skin, taking out that tightness and
soreness. For head colds, catarrh,
hay fever or asthmatic troubles
Vick's can be either applied up the
nostrils, or a little melted in a
spoon, and the vapors inhaled.
You have to try this treatment 10

that of fine under the child labor law

Of asc in trades and occupations elias
sificd by the Legislature as dangerous,

The book contains "A series of analyt-
cal tables which not only set forth con-
ciscly the terms of the law and pro-
visions for enforcement in each state
but show at a e,au"c the variations OF
the laws in the different States. These
tables show. for instance, that there are
only nine political divisions which have
no provision OF any kind for 1i-yoar
or higher age limit in factories, but that
on the other hand there are at least IS
political divisions which allow the age
limit to be lowered legally in special
cases or for special occupations, For
work in mines the age limit is Ii years
in Il States and Alaska. And the
hours of work for children under Ii in
factories are subject to some regulation
in every state except New Mexico and
West Virginia ~ states, the District Of
Columbia and Porto Rico have limited
their working day to eight hours or less,
and 81 states have prohibited their en-
ploymcnt at night.
The subjects of the tables Indicate,
however, that the regulation of work in
of the modern child labor law. Exist
ing age limits and regulation of hours
in stores, messenger service, tenement
homes, offices, street trades, theatres
and even in agriculture are set forth,

Gulatou of street trades which exist
