VESSELS LOSS

Washington. July 20.-Rear Admiral
Palmer, acting secretary of the navy,
made public tonight a detailed account
of the destruction of the cruiser San

officials after the commander of the
American patrol boats operating off Fire

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the otha or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms OF kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

SPANISH INFLUENZA WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1890, Only Then 1t Came
From Russia by Way of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open the pores.
Then vapoRub should be rubbed in
over the parts until the skin is red.
spreaL on thickly and cover with two
thicknesSes OF hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberateS the In
gradients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting 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
germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which-
means avoiding crOwds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty OF
exercise in the open air, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapORub at the very first
sign OF a cold. For head cold, melt a
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form, Menthol and Camphor With such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebs. etc., SO that when the salve is ap-
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form Of va
pors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England and
few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other Sec
tons of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms Of cold troubles.
Over six million jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. It is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

Wanted-More Geese.

Geese hold a sector in the line of
the poultry army that makes war
against waste. When the facts are
taken into consideration that the de-
smand for geese is strong, steady, and
extends over practically the whole
year, that geese excel all other kinds
of poultry as producers of fat, thing
OF which the world stands at present
in dire need, and that their value as
egg producers is considerable, the inn
portance of all adequate number of
geese il the poultry scheme becomes
apparent Geese take their living in
large part from grasses of the pas
ture and from otherwise helpless ref
use.
