PANIC In GERMANY'S
WAR BONDS is NEAR

BERNE, oct. ii.-rhere are persistent
rumors among the working classes in
Germany, according TO adyices received
here, that Germany's imperial bonds
may become yalueless.
The rumors have their basis In the
repeated Entente victories. The people
Of numerous towns are said to be I'M
loading their war loans at extraordi-
nary low prices and a panic seems i'm
mlnent.
The German newspapers are publish
ing long appeals in endeavors to tram
quillze public feeling. 1t Is recon-
mended above all other methods that
persons who desire 10 sell Government
bonds do so through banks, (which are
ready always 10 advance cash upon
bonds In the usual way. The public Is
further advised TO remember that the
German Empire guarantees the loans.
Peasants and small business people,
says the appeal, should be the last to
dispose Of their bonds, because at the
moment Of rehabilitation they will be
able to buy useful articles Of all sorts.
When that time comes buyers paying
with national bonds will receive pref
erence.
The document on which the appeals
are based calls upon the Germans 10
show their patriotism and also their
opposition TO the propagation OF rumors
about war bonds. which are causing
great injury.

absorbed thru and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood TO the sur

gestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease. spread principally by
human contact, chiefly thru coughing,
sneezing or splitting. So avoid persons
having colds-which means avoiding
drinking cups. roller
towels, etc. Keep up your bodily
strength by plenty Of exercise in the
open air and good food. Above all,
keep free from colds. as colds irritate
the lining Of the air passages and rem
der them much better breeding places
FOR the germs.
Use Vick's VapORub at the very first

little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale
the vapors. or better stlll, use VapoRub
