Carefully Treat
 Children's Colds

Neglect of children's colds often lays the foundation of serious lung trouble. On the other hand, it is harmful to continu- ally dose delicate little stomachs with in- ternal medicines or to keep the children always indoors.
 Plenty of fresh air in the bedroom and good application of Vick's ''Vap-O- Rub" Salve over the throat and chest at the first sign of trouble, will keep the little chaps free from colds without injuring their di- gestions. 25c, soc, or $l.00.
