External Application Bet er
Than Internal Medicines Saw
Kansas City and Lawrence
Mothers.

Ever mother knows how hard it is
to get the children to take medicines,
and how injurious this internal dosing
is to their delicate little stomachs
The solution of this problem is the
Southern treatment-Vick Vap-O-
Rub Salve- 1t is universally used in
the South, in place of internal medi-
cines. plasters. poultices and vapor
lamps in treating all forms of cold
troubles, from head colds asthmatic or
catarrhal troubles, down to deep chest
colds. sore throat, bronchitis or incip-
lent pneumonia. Kansas mothers were
quick to try this outside treatment.
When it was introduced there last
winter, and have found it quicker and
better than internal medicines.
Mrs. Ida Thomas. 921 S. Forest,
Kansas City Kan. writes:
4 have used your Nap-O-Rub
Salve on my little girl for bron-
chitis. and think it is just fine
She was very bad-would cough
all night and l had her treated by
several physicians without results.
The second application of vap-O-
Rub gave her relief Now I would
not be without it in the house."

LANSING STUDIES NOTE.
Berlin Note on Armed Merchantmen
Reaches Department.

Washington. - Secretary Lansing
studied at his home the text of the
memorandum from Berlin announcing
the intention of the German Govern
ment to regard armed merchant ships
of the Entente Allies as war vessels
after February 20. He will discuss the
subject with President Wilson at
once.
The text of the memorandum from
Austria, similar to that issued by Ger
many was momentarily expected.
It is considered doubtful that an
announcement of the position the Uni
ted States will take in the matter will
be defined until both documents have
carefully been digested and consid-
cred. Between now and that time the
attitude of the government is made
known, the state department may no.
tify the representatives of the En-
tente Allies here of the receipts of
the documents from the Central Pow
ers; so that their government may be
completely informed on the subject.

BIG SUBMARINES
NEEDED BY NAVY
REAR ADMIRAL GRANT SAYS
PRESENT TYPE SHOULD BE
ABANDONED.
NAVY is MAKING PROGRESS
Hearings Are Continued by Commit
tee.-Great Improvements During
Past Two Years:

Washington.-While the house ma.
on the navy appropriation bill, the
military committees of both houses
prepared to begin drafting the meas
ures they will propose to strengthen
the Army. The military committees
probably will begin daily sessions be-
fore the end of the week in an effort
to hasten their work, as President
Wilson has urged.
Rear Admiral Grant, the submarine
commander and the first sea duty Of
f1cer to appear at the hearing, told
the house committee that he believed
the present type of American sub
marine should be abandoned and only
large boats Of at least 800 tons sur
face displacement be constructed in
future. 1t was boats of this size, he
said, which had done the most eff
the present war. The admiral will
be further examined.
Capt. Josiah 8. Mexican, attached
to the office of the chief of opera
tons assistant for material, said that
while he was inclined to believe with
Admiral Grant as to the greater value
of larger submarines, other officers
had different views. Chairman Pad
gett explained that Rear Admiral
Benson, chief of operations, was one
of these and would explain his po-
sition to the committee later.
Captain Mexican revealed that
much Of the Navy Departments in
formation about German submarines
lad come from an American boy who
had served for a time upon one of
them in active service before he could
establish his nationality and secure
immunity from military duty The
boy, whose name was not disclosed,
returned to the United States as soon
as he was at liberty and proved to BE
a, valuable source Of information.
While he did not go into detail, Cap
tain Mexican said experts Of the navy
had questioned the youth closely.
Representative Britten~ Of IIlfonis
asked Captain Mexican if the action
OF the Department in contracting for
16 additional small submarines two
months ago was not ridiculous in the
light Of the information 1t then had
as to efficiency Of larger craft.

Formally Consents to Use Of Name as
Candidate for Reelection.
hington.-President Wilson con-
sented formally for the first time to
the use of his name as a presidential
candidate in the coming campaign. At
the same time he declared he was
entirely unwilling to enter into any
contest" for denomination.
This definition of the presidents at
titude, in line with the plans of his
political associates, is expected to
bring into the open the campaign be-
ing made in his favor throughout the
country.
Mr.. Wilson's declaration was made
N a letter to the Ohio secretary of
state who had written that candidates
for delegates from that state to the
national convention must signify their
choices for president by February rs
and that presidential candidates could
not be named in that connection with
out their consent.

Washington Garrison's

the opinion of administration leaders.
When the excitement following the un-
expected development had subsidized it

legislative atmosphere with regard to
two important issues. National de-
Tense and Philippine independence,
and had served almost magically to
bring congress and the president
closer together than they had been

TASTING BY THE NOSE.
Sir Ray Lanksrster. the em

Sir Ray Lankerster, the erni- 'nent man of science, asserts that
 he flavor of.food and drink does not come to us through the sense of taste. That sense, he says, can only furnish sensations that cor respond to the chemical compost ton of the substances presented to it. We can distinguish b, taste only sweetness, bitterness sourness, and saltness, although the various intensities of these sensations are innumerable Tn distinctive flavor of various foods is not received by the tast nerves. Flavors excite the olfac tory nerve instead, and are trans mitted by it to the brain. A person whose sense of smell is impaired is unable to detect tho Favor of the food he eats, although he has the taste sensation that it stimulates. This is an explana ton of the effect that influenza often has apparently on the taste. but. really on the sense oi
