They Find "ExternaI" Treatment Better Than Internal Medicines for
 Children's Colds.

We give below letters from a num- Der of Kansas City, Mo, ladies who were selected by their druggists to try out Vap-O-Rub-the outside" treat. ment for cold troubles, introduced in Kansas City last winter. Vap-0-Rub Is the invention of a North Carolina druggist. It comes in salve form, and has a two-fold action-first, the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of yapors. that are inhaled with each breath-second, Vap-O-Rub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the congestion.
 Mrs. James Hollens, 1928 Tracy Ave, has used Vick's herself for colds in the chest and asthma, and has also used 1t on her children, and finds 1t excellent"
 Mrs. Almira Turner, 1914 E. 24th St., relieved her husband of bronchitis with two nights applications. She also used on her four months old baby for cold and on the other children, and says-"I find Vap-O-Rub does every thing you say

years old and one eight months old. The baby last winter had an obstinate cough for quite while. Mrs. Mar shall used Vap-O-Rub and writes The cough soon yielded to this treat ment after several different cough medicines had been tried with no ef- feet" Mrs. Marshall also writes "Vap-O-Rub appeals to us because the delicate little stomachs are not be- ing loaded down with medicines con- taining opium and other harmful in- gredients."
 Mrs J. s. Hollis. 3622 Forest Ave-. used Vap-O-Rub for "a terrific cold could not breathe through my nose at all-impossible to go to sleep. Used Vick's Vap-O-Rub and in five minutes was asleep and breathing easily"
 Mrs. w A. Winkler, 622S E. 18th St.. says-"My baby had cold, almost pneumonia. l used Vap-O-Rub on him as directed. and in one days time he was better"
 Mrs. Anna Taylor, 6040 Walrond Ave, has four children, and says-'I have never used anything as good for coughs and colds as Vap-O-Rub.''
 Mrs. Harry Webb, 2123 E. 37th St.. says-"0ur little girl is very suscep- tible to colds, and in fact this is the only winter and spring that she has es- capped pneumonia. and we believe it is Vap-O-Rub that has kept her from spell this year." Three sizes-25c, 60c and $1.00.

CITY FOLKS IN THE COUNTRY
Many Do Not Know First Principles of Farming-Farmer in City
 Must Commence Gradually.

Continued hard times have caused an influx of city people to the country. Some prosper and are happy. Others find that the turkeys dc not grow on trees and alrea6. roasted Those who have been accustomed to earning five dollars or more day see the cash supply come slowly and become dis couraged They do not know the first principles of farming. and many mis- takes are made.
 There are always plenty to advise some great improvement which will require a goodly outlay of labor these same advisers ever standing ready to do this work at their own price. The principle may be correct cessiye
 No farmer would expect to go to the city and launch into a new bnsi- ness without losing money at the start His sane way is to commence gradually. study conditions and meth ods thoroughly. and then advance with caution.
 Many a city man has gone back to the crowded life discouraged just be- cause he did not know how to com mence. Had he rented small plot of ground and spent his spare mo- ments in making a garden there would have been renewed strength in the exercise and he would have been bet ter prepared in a single season to undertake the larger proposition.
 His business principles would en- able him to grasp the subject with comparative ease; but he should no longer follow the time-honored senti- ment that the man who does not know how to do anything else can farm

uslna Ferns as Preservative.

It was discovered some years ago that the leaves of the fern plant. which grows almost everywhere. are excellent preservatives for packing food, fruit and even meat. In the Isle of Man fresh herrings are packed in ferns and arrive on the market in as fresh condition as when they were shipped. A number of experiments have demonstrated that potatoes packed in ferns keep many months longer than those packed in straw In fact, potatoes packed in fern leaves are as fresh in the springtime as when they were first dug iu the winter.

BEST SYSTEM OF MARKETING
Object of Farmers Cooperative Sys. tenn Must Be to Eliminate or
 Reduce Waste.

Any system of marketing that does not hope to give better service or bet ter prices to the consumer. and. at the same time, secure for the producer a greater net return. is founded on i'm proper principles.
 No cooperative marketing associa- tton should be attempted unless the prospective members feel that it will do the work better or at a less cost than any existing plan. The object must be to eliminate or reduce waste.

"ANURIC!'' NEWEST IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce. head of the Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo. N. Y. Experiments for sev- eral years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid compa- rable. For those easily recognized symptoms of infiammation-as back ache, scalding urine and frequent uri- nation, as well as sediment in the urine. or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, "Anuric" acts quickly. In rheumatism of the joints. In gravel and gout. invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and consistently accompany the dis ease rapidly disappear.

COOPERATIVE PLAN IS BEST
Necessity for Co-Operatlon Arises From Unbusinesslike Method of
 Distributing Products.

Farmers are now quite generally of the opinion that the cooperative plan of doing farm business is the most satisfactory method. Like the European farmer, the American farm CT is being driven to cooperation by necessity.
 The necessity arises chiefly from the costly. clumsy, unbusinesslike method of distributing food products, result ing in an abnormal discrepancy be- tween the prices paid to the producer and the cost to the consumer.

Community co.operation.

Community cooperation means mu- tual association among the people of the community in such manner that the people of the community get the many benefits that may be derived from each doing his duty to reduce ex- pense. There are no economical req. sons for the people of a community being divided and each working for self at the expense of the rest. Why not each work for self by working with others?
