Chest. Relieves by Inhal-
alton and Absorption.

Fifteen years ago, in a little North
Carolina town, a druggist discovered a
process of combining the old fashioned
remedies-Camphor, Turpentine and
Menthol-with certain volatile oils such
as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs and
Juniper SO that. when applied ex-
ternally, the body heat would vaporize
these ingredients. These vapors, in
hailed all night long. carry the medica-
ton, with each breath, direct to the air
passages and lungs.
Today this vapor treatment. Nick's
VapoRub, is almost universally used
throughout the South in preference to
internal dosing" 1t is quick in its ac-
ton, and what is more important, par
ticularly to mothers with small chill
dren, it is applied externally and hence
does not disturb the most delicate
stomach. Colds are easiest treated at
the beginning and VapoRub make the
ideal preventive for the entire family.
This preparation comes in salve form
and its action is twofold. Externally.

Adjutant General George Mel. Pres
son, the provost marshal of Maine:
No Men Due from Maine.
Call No. II was not sent to Maine.
No men have been ordered from the

emanating from other parties that
Maine would be called upon to furnish
the remainder of her quota under the
draft call 1t was also stated at the
time in the Journal that Maine ac-
cording to the provost marshals Of
fee, owed no men, but that according
to papers then going through the usual
channels, she had a credit of men due

matter of classifying agricultural reg
istrants, that definition of skilled

HOW ONE SET OF EXTRA
DITION PAPERS ISSUED

The issuance of eXtradition papers
is often the cause of considerable both
er and detail for all concerned, before
the person wanted is reached. A case
recently happened that illustrates. well
what the officers and State officials are
up againts before securing his man,
even though. the man wanted is safe in
some Jail.
Officer Michael j. Hartnett of BOs-
ton arrived in the State on recent
date after a man, and learned that he
was in Jail in Bangor. The party was
one James Fl. Regain and was wanted
for support. deseltion and aban-
donment, having deserted his wife and
three minor children. The laws OF
Massachusetts, have a peculiar interest
in dealing out to such brutes stiff
punishment for their actions and he
was much wanted in Boston He had
been arrested in VIM and the Boston
authorities notified.
Officer Hartnett proceeded direct tc
Bangor, identified his man and got in
telephone communication with Gov
nor Milliken's Office. He was informed
that the Governor made il a rule not
to sign such documents until they had
been passed upon by the attorney gen.
eral and that he was about to leave
that afternoon for Portland.
Officer Hartnett being anxious to re-
turn home with his man, he was told
that he might come through on the
afternoon express, on which Governor
Milliken and Attorney General Guy II
Sturgis We're going to Portland, see the
Governor while on the road to Bruins
wick, return to Augusta on the even
ing train and arrangements would be
made with Secretary of State Frank w.
Ball to meet him in the evening at the
latter's office and complete drawing up
the papers.
The Massachusetts, officer appreciat-
ed this courtesy and boarded the train.
He saw the Governor as arranged and
as his papers were in perfect shape,
Attorney General Sturgis was enabled
to pass upon them at once so that, in
stead of being obliged to go to Bruins
wick. Officer Hartnett left the train at
Gardiner, caught an electric back to
Augusta and saw Secretary Ball at the
State House before supper. got his
papers and caught the evening train
back to Bangor.
SO that the man Regain landed in
court In Massachusetts much quicker
than he expected when he ran away,
deserving his wife and three children.
