Now They Are Not Afraid to Let the
Children Run Outdoors
Freely.

Every mother knows how hard it Is
to keep children, especially boys, In
doors in bad weather. And yet II they
run out 1t usually means Group or
colds. Carthage, Mo-, mothers have
solved this problem by keeping plenty
of fresh air in the bedroom at night,
and applying a hot application OF
Vick's Vap-O-Rub at the first sign OF
trouble.
Vap-O.Rub really is a remarkable
preparation. It Is the invention OF
q North Carolina druggist, and Is
universally used in the South, but was
introduced here only last winter.
It comes in salve form and Is ap-
piled externally over the throat and
chest. Externally-it acts like a poul-
tice or plaster, relieving the tightness
and soreness. Internally-it acts like
a vapor-lamp, except that you do not
have to keep the windows shut and
the fresh air excluded as you do with
the old fashioned vapor-lamp. Vick's
is so made that the body heat re-
leases the ingredients in the form of
vapors. These vapors are inhaled with
every breath through the air passages
to the lungs, carrying the medication
right to the affected parts.

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change Of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause a lot Of

larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. AS an illustration: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving Off coffee and some
articles Of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until l was Ill
most Of the time. About four years
ago l left of coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but l was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two princi.
pally for about four months. Day by
day l gained in flesh and strength un.
til the nervous trouble had disap'
peared. l feel that l owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for a LONG
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally l prevailed upon
him to leave of coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
q few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared
He went back to coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek
Mich.
Postum comes in two forms: I
Postum cereal-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and 25,
packages.
Instant Postum-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, make,
a delicious beverage instantly. 80,
and soc tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious an,
cost about the same per cup.

The house Of representatives for tho

Of $4,000 to reimburse certain banks
for a loan negotiated by the trustees
OF the higher educational institutions
Of the state with which to replace a
