TWELVE million men mostly young

TWELVE million men mostly young
men, have been killed or
permanently injured in the Ger
man made calamity from which
humanity is now suffering. This
number exceeds by two million
the population of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark. If all the men age 81
and over, in the New England states
and New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were
killed or permanently injured they
would about equal in number the men
already sacrificed in this manner to
Germany's desire for world dominion.
Over 1874 billion dollars have been
diverted from the constructive uses of
peace to the destructive uses of war.
No human mind can comprehend this
sum. 1t would take $3.50 years to
count it at the rate of one hundred
)ne dollar bills per minute. And these
are only two items in the staggering
dill that civilization is paying as the
price of continued existence,

DOZEN MORE MEN.
Probable Quota From This District tt
 Answer Last Call.

On top of the other calls that have come So rapidly for registered men to make ready for service, comes another one, as announced in press despatch es from Washington Monday. The states quota would indicate that this will mean about a dozen more Class men from this district.
 Four men twent Monday, 29 more will go out during the five days pe- riod beginning April 26, and 2 more on May 1. To this total of 35 will be added to the other dozen needed to fill the call for service early in May.

 Body Heat
NOTHING TO SWALLOW

Particularly Valuable to 1Ectkerz with Small Children. Local Druggists Are Offering 25c Jazz on 30 Days Trial

Colds are simply infamma4sons ei the air passages and everybody knows that the only way to reach the air passages direct is by means of sapcrs that can be inhaled. The 0la.fasA. toned vapor treatments however, vera cumbersome and costly, but a North Carolina druggist solved this problem by inventing a salve that is 1a2or. ized by the body heat.
 This preparation, known ss Vic&AD vapoRub,. is how being introduced here. Tho local druggists know ths danger of constant 'dosinz," especially to small children and are anxious that all their customers should tfY this new "outside7 treatment. Ar. rangene1ts have accordingly been made with the manufacturers to sea the small size jars, price 25c, on 30 days triaEno charge. te be made if the customer is not delighted with the results. @
 For deep chest colds, sore throat bronchitis, tonsilitis, or incipieat pneu. monia VapoRHb should be applied oyer the throat and chest and covered Nfth a warm flannel cloth. The Y1pWs arising carry the medication, with each breath, to the air passages and lungs. In addition VapoRub is ah- sorbed through and stimulates tfle skin taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest.
 For head colds, hay fever, cstztxh or asthmatic troubles VapoRuh caa either be applied up the nostrils or q little melted in a spoon and the vapcrs inhaled. Group is usually relieved within fifteen minutes and ons appli. cation at bedtime prevents a mint attack.
