New vapOr Way Of Treating all
 Gold Troubles
North Carolina Druggist h. vents a Salve That is .Vaporized by the
 Body Heat
NOTHING TO SWALLOW
 YOU JUST RUB IT ON
Particularly Valuable to Mothers with Small Children. Local Druggists Are Offering 25c Jars on 30 Days Trial.

Colds are simply indammations of the air passages and everybody knows that the only way to reach the air passages direct is by means of Fapors that can be inhaled. The old-fash- toned vapor treatments however, were cumbersome and costly, but North Carolina druggist solved this problem by inventing a salve that is vapor- ized by the body heat.
 This preparation, known as V1ck's VapoRub, is now being introduced here. The local druggists know the danger of constant dosing" especially to small children and are anxious that all their customers should try this new outside" treatment. Ar engagements have accordingly been made with the manufacturers to sell the small size jars, price 25c, on 30 days trial-no charge to be made if the customer is not delighted with the results.
 For deep chest colds, sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, or i1cipient pneu- monia VapoRub should be applied over the throat and chest and covered with a warm flannel cloth. The vapors arising carry the medication, with each breath, to the air passages and lungs. In addition VapoRub is ab- sorbed through and stimulates the skin taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest.
 For head colds, hay fever, catarrh or asthmatic troubles VapoRub can either be applied up the nostrils or a little melted in spoon and the vapors inhaled. Group is usually relieved within fifteen minutes and one appli- cation at bedtime prevents a night attack.

One of the questions considered was the possibility of trouble in obtaining coal next year because of the federal fuel admins tration's decree cutting off the job bers' commission after April 1 unless it was taken from the price allowed at the mine.

Baker, counsel for Charles Rollins and George l.. Rollins, indicted for the murder last year of Edward T. Foley and Ordway R. Hall, tea store managers. MT.

lIdSU6S of the guns. The searchlights feel about carefully at first, then more wildly. Sometimes they show up nothing but clouds, but suddenly they fetch us. More and more lights con- centrate on our ship and hold it fast.
 In the gondola it as light as day, and all around us bursts shrapnel, while burning shells come upwards like beasts of prey with glowing eyes. They criss-cross above and below us, but we seem to have a charmed life. 1t is a great and yet an eerie Sensa- tion to hear the deep bass-tones of our falling bombs. to the accompani- ment of the whirring propeller. We note a huge explosion to the right, then to the left another, and a third which brings several smaller side ex- plosions in it's train.
 But now let us away from this neighborhood. Driven homewards by a favorable west wind, and hidden by few clouds, we pass the coast in spite of the increased firing round that part. To tell the truth, in the excitement we had scarcely noticed that the thermometer pointed to 30 degrees below zero. Even our usuai oxygen tube had fallen unnoticed from our lips, but now we all suck it eagerly until our home coast-line appears and our airship heads down ward. -(By the International News Bureau, Inc, Boston, Mass.)

One Of the most dangerous JobS ol the journey falls to the man who has to climb from the gondola up to the air balloon, for the ladder is covered with ice, and makes climbing very perilous in the great cold. The look out men in the passages often have to box each other in order to keep up the circulation.
 In the engine-room two men work the levers which regulate the height at which we fly; other two on either side man the steering wheel. while others are at the bomb-dropping ap- paratus. In the bomb chamber one man is told off to light the fueses, and see to the correct loosening of the bombs.
 Tho Firing Commences
 Steadily we advance; time and again a searchlight finds us, and shots come perilously near. There quite plainly I see London below me, our goal at last. Oh, town of my dreams, cause of my sleepless nights.
 The bright circle of searchlights shows up the town from afar, and the unmistakable picture of the Thames keeps us right. The Commandant casts a last glance at the map, and then decides-"We shall fly from north to south over the town, and then home by the east" I am work ing the side steering wheel, and care fully turn it to starboard.
