NOTHING TO SWALLOW

Particularly Valuable to Mothers
with Small Children. Local
Druggists Are Offering Csc Jars
on 80 Days Trial

Colds are simply determinations Of
the air passages and everybody knows
that the only way to reach the air
passages direct is by means OF vapors
that can be inhaled. The old-fash-
toned vapor treatments however, were
cumbersome and costly, but a North
Carolina druggist solved this problem
by inventing salve that Is vapor-
ICED by the body heat
This preparation. known as Vic, e;
yapoRub, is now being introduced
here. The local druggists know the
danger Of constant dosing" especially
to small children and are anxious
that all their customers should try
this new outside" treatment. Ar
rangements have accordingly been
made with the manufacturers to sell
the small size jars, price Csc, on 80
days trial-no charge to be made il
the customer is not delighted with
the results.
/ For deep chest colds, sore throat
bronchitis, tonsilitis, or incipient pneu-
monia VapoRub should be applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
warm flannel cloth The yapors
arising carry the medication, with
each breath, to the air passages and
lungs. In addition yapoRub is alb
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin taking out that tightness and
soreness in the chest
For head colds, hay fever, catarh
or asthmatic troubles VapoRub can
either be applied up the nostrils or a
little melted in spoon and the yapors
inhaled. Group Is usually relieved
within fifteen minutes and one appli-
cation at bedtime prevents a night

when an order came through that our
brigade would again take over their
sector Of the line.
The day that these orders were is

pany and asked for volunteers to 60 to
the Machine Gun school at st. Omar.
I volunteered and was accepted.
Sixteen men from our brigade left
for the course in machine gunnery.
This course lasted two weeks and we
rejoined our unit and were assigned to
the brigade machine gun company. 1t

trench.
During the day our gun would be
dismounted on the fire step ready for
instant use. We shared dugoW with
the Lewis gunners. At "stand to" we
wpald mount our gun on the parapet
and go on watch beside it until "stand
down" in the morning. Then the gun
would be dismounted and again placed
in readiness on the fire step.
We did eight days in the front-lne
trench without anything unusual hap
nening outside of the ordinary trench
routine. On the night that we were to
"carry out" a bombing raid against the
German lines was pulled off. This raid
ing party consisted Of sixty company
men, sixteen bombers, and four Lewis
machine guns with their crews.
The raid took the Boches by surprise
and was complete success, the party
bringing back twenty-one prisoners.

Five Of them were brought into my

they would be safe from the German

In the candlelight, they looked very

great big fellow. He looked very much
at ease. I liked him from the start.
I got out the rum jar and gave each
a nip and passed around some flags,
the old reliable Woodbines. The other
prisoners looked their gratitude, but
the big fellow said in English, ''Thank
you, sir, the rum is excellent and ap-
preciate It, also your kindness"
He told me his name was Carl

CABLE CONTROL ACTION
UNDER FIRE IN SENATE
Senators Watson and Sherman Say
Effort Il Made to Censor
Peace Proceedings.

The Presidents action In taking over
the control Of tho cables at this time
was the result OF his desire to control
the news reports between this country
and Europe during the peace conference,
Senators Watson and Sherman, both
republicans, charged In the Senate yes
terday afternoon. They charged, TOO.
that 1t was part Of . plan to estahlish
permanent government ownership.
Senator Watson denounced the Pres
ident's action in taking over cable lines
as breach OF faith and charged that
their control was inspired by . desire
for government censorship Of dispatches
during the peace conference, SO that the
representatives Of the European nations
at the peace table may not know what
is being said in the American Congress
about the conference.
Senator Sherman said there might be
some necessity for the President going
abroad. but that he could not see It, and
added that no provision is made in the
Constitution for the absence Of the Pres
ident from the territorial limits Of the
United States. The White House, he
said, will be moved to Paris, and added:
1--WE are left to the tender mercies Of
a censored cable; passports denied, ca
bles controlled, and Creel sits as impe-
rial dictator at the source Of action"
