HOW TO USE VAPoRu5 IN TREATING SPANISH IN-
 Ell IIENZA

In every case call a physician VapoRub should be used only in con nection with the physicians internal treatment.
 Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores Dry lightly and rub VapoRub well in until the skin is red-spread on thicllly and cover with hot flannel cloths. Leave the bed covering loose around the neck, as the body heat re- leases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the in fuenza germs. In case of head or chest cold, which often accompanies influenza, the vapors tend to keep the air passages open, loosen the phlegm and make the breathing easier. In ad- dition NapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin attra cting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.

HOW TO USE VIcK'S VAPoRUH
 AS A PREVENTIVE

II is questionable if there is any thing which will prevent Spanish h. fiuenza. except avoiding those per sons who are spreading the disease by coughing. sneezing and splitting and by keeping up the bodily resist ance by plenty of good food and ex- ercise in the open air. The Public Health Service recommends that the nasal passages be coated with a weak solution of Menthol in liquid petroleum as protective. For this purpose NapoRub is excellent. Just put a small portion up each nostril from time to time during the day and snuff well back into the head.

KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY lN-
 HALING VAPORuR

Colds Tritate the lining of the air passages and thus render them a much better breeding place for the germs. At the first signs of cold use VapoRub at once. Melt little in spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or NapoRub can be used in regular benzoin steam kettle. such as most druggists carry in stock. If this is not available, a very good substitute to use is an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half-fuu of boiling water put in half teaspoon of VapoRub from time to l. le-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,
At 0UNNIsON

The Fall term of the Colorado
State Normal School at Gunnison will
open Monday, September 10Th with a
faculty of twenty-eight instructors.
While five of last years male in
structors are now in Army service,
their places have been filled so that
all the work in the various depart
ments is provided for.
The demand for trained teachers is
tremendous. Every graduate Of the
school and every undergraduate who
desires to teach is located, and the
school has been unable to recommend
teachers for many desirable positions.
The shortage of teachers not only in
Colorado but also in many other
states amounts to a national peril.
Many ex-teachers and many unem-
ployed women should qualify or re-
qualify for the important patriotic
work of teaching in our public
schools.

Best Mseas of Getting News from
Wsr Zone 10 Throuph A. r. G.

harvey ~. IlDSOn, NeQ OTOSS OOm-
missioner to France, in cable, urges
relatives of men with the Expedition
ary Forces to make their inquiries
through the Red Cross Bureau of
Communication. Washington, D. c.,
instead of cabling or writing direct
to agencies or individuals in Europe.
AS many as four separate requests
about the same man have been re-
ceived by as many institutions. This
involves needless congestion of cables
and wasteful duplication of effort.
In most cases, moreover, such in
quiries are turned over by others to
the American Red Cross, which is
charged with such communication
with soldiers relatives, and has de-
veloped special facilities for obtain
ing information about those reported
killed. wounded or uDfng, and those
from whom letters have not been re-
ceived.
Commenting on this cablegram, Ed
ward M. Day, Acting Director of the
Bureau Of Communication, said:
"As the American Red Cross has
special mail and other means of
handling such inquiries, relatives
should get quicker replies through
Washington than through agencies or
individuals in Europe. When an in
quiry reaches our Washington Office,
our special searchers at once get
from the government here the latest
official information. This frequently
answers the question satisfactorily.
Inquiries as to casualties are speeded
abroad where similar Red Cross
agents gather data from headquar-
ters and then visit the man in the
hospital In the case Of those re-
ported killed or missing, the Red
Cross communication representative
gathers every crumb of reliable in
formation from the soldiers asso-
ciates."
Home Service Sections are urged
to develop the publicity side of their
work, especially in relation to the op-
portunity of getting information
lFou WhouIuk lOh nhN AAOhA AA0AANS
regarding the men in service and
their affairs. This publicity is a real
public service, inasmuch as it avoids
the congestion of mail and cable with
unnecessary and duplicate requests.
Scarcely q day passes that the Di-
vision Bureau of Civilian Relief does
not receive one or more letters ask
ing for help in getting information
where the matter has already been
taken up by private individuals, at
torneys,. other war work organiza-
tions or draft boards, in an attempt
to get the facts. 1t cannot be too
strongly emphasized that the Red
Cross Home Service is the channel
officially recognized at Washington as
the means of conveying information
to and from the men and their fam
lilies, and that requests from other
sources are given only secondary con-
sideration, if any
All such inquiries must be sent
through the Division Bureau of Civil
ian Relief.

IMPORTANT CHANGES

Special, Denver:-With the calling
of John Evans to Washington to
serve in an official capacity in the
Provost Marshall's Office and the CALI
ing of Harold Kountze to the naval
reserve corps, Colorado loses the
two men who have been most active
in Treasury Department activities
since the war started.
Mr.. Evans has been the head of
the War Savings campaign and Mr..
Kountze has been the head of, the
various Liberty Loan activities. Dur
ing the past six months the two men
have combined the two activities into
one general organization, but with
each of them leaving, Colorado faces
the proposition of having to secure
new leaders for this work.
Samuel d. Nicholson has accepted
the Craftsmanship of the Liberty Loan
campaigns and Horace N. Hawkins
has been asked to accept the Vice
Craftsmanship of the Liberty Loan,
which would make him the active
Chairman Of the War Savings drive.
Mr.. Nicholson and Mr.. Hawkins
are fully as we'll acquainted with Col
orado and it's needs as Mr.. Kountze
and Mr.. Evans, and, with the organ
ization, which the two latter gentle
men have built, there is little doubt
but that the activities will go for
ward the same as before.
