LeaVenWorth Man Tries Out
New Treatment for Colds

Vick's Vap-O-Rub really is remark
able preparation. It takes the place
of internal dosing, vapor lamps, poul-
tees, plasters, bIisters and flannel
jackets. 1t comes in salve form, and
for Group or cold troubles, you just ap-
ply it over the throat and chest and
cover with warm flannel cloth. Leave
the covering loose around the neck, as
the body heat releases the ingredients
in the form of vapors. These vapors are
inhaled with each breath all night long,
loosening the phlegm and clearing the
air passages. In addition, Vap-O-Rub
is absorbed through and stimulates the
skin like poultice or a plaster, aid
ing the vapors inhaled to break VI the
congestion. Three sizes, Csc, soc or

Probably never m the history of the American congress has there been ease of social ostracism equal to that now being experienced by Senator Robert La Toilette of Wisconsin, and never was this ostracism more apparent than on the occasion when President Wilson delivered his recent mes sage to congress. Press reports declare that not a senator would walk with him from the senate to the house. He walked alone. LaFollctte took a seat close to the president and no one took the seat next Co him until nearly every seat in the bTg chamber was occupied. The Wisconsin senator sat with his chin cupped in his hand from start to finish of the message. At its conclusion he stallcd out defantly alone a senator ostraczcd for his Potsdam de- fence.

Drowsy Goldfish Set
Fire to Family Bolster

ST. Louis, Mo-, Jan. although
President S. Chichester Lloyd, of the
local aquarium society, has never men,
toned that goldfish should increase the
fire risks of insurance companies, the
fact remains that the home of Alfred
Russell. at 5000 Geyer avenue. was set
on fire through the presence of globe
of the fish on the window sill.
Early in the day the globe had been
placed near the window When the rays
of the afternoon sun concentrated on
the globe it acted in the same fashion
as magnifying glass would do if used
as a "sun glass" The rays set fire to
a bolster on a nearby bed, and only
the prompt discovery of the flames pre-
vented a costly fire.
A member of the aquarium society
said:
1--WE have recommended a bill to the
Legislature to prevent the use of cir
cular globes for goldfish. BY the way
what kind of fish were they? Some ac-
tive breed of Observation-Disclosures, for in
stance, or Japanese fantails, or veil
tells, which cost only S25 apiece, would
have been swimming around and broken
up the rays"

Mrs. Alden Is Coming
to See Sunshine Society

Members of the Roberta Disbrow
Lloyd Sunshine Society are planning a
reception to the national president of
Sunshine, Mrs. Cynthia Westover AL
den, who will be a guest in this city
later in the year. She will tell all about
the work and how she came to or
ganize it and everyone will be glad to
meet her.
A most interesting meeting of the
Sunshine Society was held yesterday
afternoon in it's rooms at the Young
Mems Christian Association building.
With the Christmas work over, the
society is turning its attention to the
summer work among the crippled chill
dren. This work was carried on last
summer to a limited degree at the
Sunshine fresh-air home at Manada
Gap. The quarters were inadequate
and the society was hampered@ in it's
efforts to help the little charges. This
year the work is to be carried on un-
der more extensive plan and means
for raising the required sum to finance
the undertaking were fully discussed.
Sunshine does a great work among
the little unfortunates of the city. The
list grows larger each year and the
society should have the cooperation
of every citizen of Harrisburg. This
week several children will be taken to
Philadelphia for special treatment.
One little girl, wearing an Abbott cast,
will have 1t removed, and instead of
going through life with crooked
body she will have her chance with q
straight one. A little colored boy
whose legs are so bowed that the soles
of his shoes are worn on top of his
feet Will undergo an operation to have
them Strengthened.
