A Talk to Mothers About
Group and Cold Troubles
The New Treatment With Fresh Air and Anti
septic vapors That Does Away With Injurious
internal Medicines, Flannel Jackets. etc., etc.

All mothers are ''home doctors
when it comes to treating the Group
and cold troubles that all children
are heir to. They know that grow
ing children need outdoor exercise,
and that, with outdoor exercise,
some colds are bound to come.
They know, too, that internal med
icines injure delicate little stom-
achs, but that these colds must
have some kind of treatment.
The answer to this problem Is
the external" treatment, Vick's
Vap-O-Rub" Salve. For the
many forms of cold troubles, from
head colds, asthma and catarrh,
down to sore throat, bronchitis and
deep chest colds Vick's will be
found better than internal medi-
cines. Just apply Vick's well over
the throat and chest, covering with
a warm flannel cloth. Leave the
covering loose around the neck so

Indigestion and constipation are two
conditions that are closely related and
the cause of much physical suffering.

people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the overtaXed organs

Baseball Gets Under Way;
Not to Join Any League

At o. meeting of Middletown base
ball players held last evening, John
Albert King was chosen as manager
for the coming season. Roy Balmer
was elected field captain and secre-
tary and Roy Baumbach treasurer.
King is an eX-Tri-State pitcher who
knows the game and should make q
successful leader. Balmer is the
regular first baseman and captained
the Middletown team when it won
the championship of the Central
Pennsylvania league two years ago.
Baumbach is an athlete of note and
has made an enviable reputation in
several branches of sport. With the
loyal support of the fans the trio will
undoubtedly give Middletown some
h:gh-class ball this summer.
1t was decided to play independently
of any league and the management
will be glad to hear from any good
club in this section of the State.
Every player on the team will be from
Middietown. Practice will start on
SatuI day if the weather permits and
the opening game will likely be played
