FOR AN old FAMILIAR DISEASE
Simply the Same Old Grip That Has Swept Over the
World Time and Again. The Last Epidemic

the ingredients in the form of vapors.
The vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry. the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time,
vapoRub is absorbed thru and stimu-
lates the skin, attracting the blood to
the surface. and thus aids in relieving
the congestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
fluenza or grip has very low percent
age of fatalities-not over one death
out of every four hundred cases. ac-
cording to the N. c. Board of Health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising. attacking principally patients
in run down condition-those who
who get up too early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this Is
germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly thru cough
ing, 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.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
| sign of a cold. For = head cold. melt
a little VapoRub in a spoon and fnhale
| the vapors, or better still. use Vapo-
| Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. II this
| is not available. use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling water.
put in half a teaspoon of VapoRuh
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
NOTE-Vick's vapo Rub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found bow, to com bine. in salve
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus Thyme
Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve II
applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form OF
yapors. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. While COM
paratively new in certain parts Of the
North, it is the standard home remedy
in the South and West for all forms
of cold troubles-over six n1illions jars
were sold.,last yea. VapoRub is par
ticularly recommended for children's
Group or colds. as it is externally ap-
plied and can. therefore. be used free
tly and often without the slightest
harmful effects.-Advertisem

MR.. ]. P. WOLFE RETURNS FROM
IMPORTANT MEETING
Committee of Dist. No. 20, |. A. of M.
Holds Satisfactory Conference
With Railroad Officials

Mr.. j. p. Wolfe, secretary-tTeasurer
of Dist. No. 20 International Associa
ton of Machinists, returned last week
from a meeting which, in accordance
with instructions from Dist. Pres.
Fullerton, he called to meet in Pitts
burg on May 28. The primary OBJ
iect of the meeting was to discuss
the question of working seventy
hours per week and the importance
of uniform working conditions of all
crafts on the system.
After a one day session in Pitts
burg the committee went to Balti-
more to confer with F. N. Clark,
general superintendent of motive
power. Mr.. Clark and the committee
could not come to any understanding
in regard to additional overtime
which Mr.. Clark claimed was un-
avoidable, and that the scarcity of
skilled mechanics Of one or more
crafts often necessitated the seventy
hours a week proposition, in order to
overcome the difficulties that must be
met in the demands for motive power,
and the shortage Of labor.
The committee being unable to
come to a definite understanding with
Mr.. Clark then decided to communi-
cate with Mr.. McManly, chief of the
locomotive section. This was done,
and Mr.. McManly replied and invited
them to meet with him in Washing
ton at once. The committee accepted
his invitation and proceeded to Wash
ington, meeting Mr.. McManly on
Tuesday, June 4, having conference
lasting several hours, at which time
every detail Of the situation regard
ing the overtime was gone into
thoroughly, and an understanding
reached. Mr.. McManly stated that
as near as he could figure on the out
put of the various shops, the over
time on a seventy hour a week basis
would be discontinued about the first
of July, at which time the hours
could be reduced to about sixty per
week at all points on the system.
The committee is of the opinion that
could the membership have heard
Nh McManly talk on the seriousness
of the situation, and the needs of the
service for motive power, all would
be willing to work this additional
overtime, which calls for more than
the agreement, because as explained
by Mr.. McManly the B. & O. is one
of the most important transportation
systems in the National Railroad
Service"
Much credit is due to Mr.. Wolfe
and the committee for satisfactory
arrangement of the matter.

IRON MOULDERS UNION NO. POS

AS usual, the last regular meeting
of Local No. 205 international Iron
Moulders Union was well attended.
The usual routine business was trans
acted and some matters of import
ance were discussed and disposed of.
Representatives Of the Newark
Leader, our live labor paper, were
welcome visitors and briefly addressed
the assembly, thanking the members
for the generous and hearty support
given since the paper was established.
They also advocated reciprocity and
advised all union men to read the ad-
vertising columns of the Leader and
trade only with our friends who cared
enough for the patronage of the work
ing man to ask for it. Their senti-
ments were unanimously endorsed
and a boosting committee was ap-
pointed to solicit new subscribers
among our members, and we are glad
to say that quite a number have al
ready been secured.
Don't forget our next regular meet
ing, Tuesday, June 25.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-06-21
THE LEADERS ADDED FEATURE

The Leader, ever on the alert to
improve and add to the attractiveness
Of the paper has, at considerable eX-
pense and trouble, secured the privi-
lege of publishing the cartoons of the
widely known and celebrated artist,
Ken King These cartoons will ap-
pear weekly, and WILL we believe, in
terest and amuse a great portion of
our readers. The popularity of the
Newark Leader, the unsubsidiZed or
gan of organized labor, is rapidly
growing, as is attested by the daily
increasing list Of our subscribers and
the liberal advertising patronage Of
those merchants and business men
who deem the working man a desir-
able customer and who think his dol
lar is just as valuable as that of some
of the exclusive "400" who are car
ried to his door in their expensive
cars. Once again we ask our readers
to trade exclusively with their
friends who advertise in the Leader.
