a sub-director In each state. This
Reserve is intended for all men who
want to help win the war. and who
are not content to be bystanders. but
want to play their part In saving the
world from the rule OF brute force;
for men who are ready when the call
comes to give up Jobs, not vitality i'm
portant In war times. and take jobs
where their country needs them: for
men whose patriotism Is more than
mere words.
This Reserve puts the record Of your
capacities for service on the govern
ment files. where It Is available for
all branches OF the government con-
rerned with tho war II carefully In
dexes them, according to quaHeica-
tions. 50 the government can call at
need men specially fitted for any kind
OF war work.
This Reserve Is needed because
millions Of Americans must engage in
Industries essential to war or we can
not win the war. 1t is needed because
our country requires ever-increasing
numbers of men 10 huiid-shiPs and air
planes; to make munitions and equip
ment for our soldiers and sailors; to
construct and man lines of communi-
cation all over the United States and
right up to the front lines in France.
To get men promptly when needed
the government must know In advance
who are available and where they
are: must have n great volunteer re-
serve Of men who stand ready to
work for good wages under reasonable
conditions in the industries most es-
sentiai to winning the war.
The Reserve operates il cioee CO
operation with the United States War
Emergency Employment Service.

SPANISH INFLUEkzh--WHhT It Is
md HOW IT SHOULD Be Treated
Nothing New-Simply the Old Grip, or la Grippe,
That Was Epidemic in 1890, Only Then It
Came From Russia by Way of France and This
Time by Way of Spain. .4~y-ss

according to the. severity of the at
tack.
External Applications
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grip germs. to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing cas-
Ter, Vicks VapoRub will be found eff
fectlve. Hot, wet towels should be
applied over the throat, chest and back
betweens the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then VapoRub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the skin
is red, spread on thickly and covered
with two thicknesses of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck as the heat of the
body iberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors, These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medica-
ton directly to the parts affected. At
the same time, VapoRub is absorbed
through. and stimulates the skin, at
tracing the blood to the surface. and
thus aids in relieving the congestion
within.
How to Avoid the Disease
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid
avoiding crowds-common drinking
cups. roller towels, etc. Keep up your
bodily strength by plenty of exercise in
the open air, and good food.
Keep Free from Colds
Above all, keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining Of the air pas
sages and render them much better
breeding places for the germs. Use
Vick's vapoRub at the very first sign
of a cold. For a head could, melt a
little VapaRub in a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use vapa-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half full of boiling water,
put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle just
slowly boiling and inhale the steam
arising
Note
Vick's VapoRub is the discovery Of
a North Carolina druggist, who found
how to com bine, in salve form, Men
thoI and Camphor with such volatile
oils as Eucalyptus. Thyme, Cubebs.
ETC., SO that when the salve is applied
to the body heat, these ingredients
are liberated in the form Of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new In
New York State and New England and
a few western states, where it is just
now being introduced, but in other sec
lions of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than a million
homes for all forms Of cold troubles.
Over six million jars were sold last
year. 1t is particularly recommended
for ehildrens Group or colds, since it
is externally applied and therefore
can be used as freely as desired with
out the slightest harmfu1 effects. Va
poRub can be had in three sizes at all
druggists.
