NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRUB
In addition to the usual method of

melt a little in a spoon and inhale
the vapors arising, or melt it in a
benzoin steam kettle. Where the
steam kettle is not available, Vapo-
Rub can be used in an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill the tea-kettle half full Of
boiling water, put in half a teaspoon
Of VapoRub from time to time-keep
the kettle just slowly boiling and in

American forces to the south con-
tinue to advance in the face of bit
ter resistance.
Australians Take Pcronnc
Few defenses remain to the Ger
mans between Peronne, which was
captured yesterday by the Austria
lians, and the strongholds along the
famous Hindenburg line around st.
quentin. The Australians now hold
tlamiecourt and st. Denis, in ad-
dition to Peronne, and are reported
TO be making progress east and
northeast of Mont st. Quentin. To
the left of the Australians English
troops are advancing south of Com
bles. In these operations the Ger
mans have lost more than 1000 men
and many guns. Several hundred
prisoners also were taken in the diff
ferent operations that resulted in the
capture of Bullecourt, Hendicourt
and lie Transloy.
Yankees i'm Battle Line
On the Lys front. where Ameri-
cans for the first time have taken
a place in the battle line. the allied
troops have advanced to Steenwerck
and are engaging the enemy rear
guards in the vicinity of Neuve
Eglise. In their first operation in
Belgium the Americans captured
Noormezeele and several strong po-
sitions between that town and Ypres.
The allied line has been extended to
the La Basse- Estaires road. and it
is evident that the Germans are pre-
pairing to retreat to a line from
Wytschaete to Messines.
Huns Resist Mangin's Troops
On the French front where Amer
ican forces also are engaged under
the command of General Mangin the
enemy is showing strong resistance.
Here the Americans have taken up
new positions near Terny-Sorny fol-
lowing their capture of Juvigny and
the further retirement of the Ger
mans making progress in the vicinity
of Bucy-le-Long.
In answer to the claims made by
the Allies of important advances the
Germans reply that their retirements
and the REIMBURSEMENT of territory
was for the purpose of shortening
the line.
Since the beginning of the Allies
offensive on July Is, 12s,302 Ger
mans have been taken prisoner and
2.06s guns, 1.734 mine throwers and
1873 machine guns captured on
the western front.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
CAMP AIGN IS AT HAND

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign,
TO give every American an opportunity
to lend to his own government money
to win the war and drive the Hun
back over the Rhine is now at hand.
In every county in the state there is
Liberty Lean committee, composed Of
loyal, energetic citizens, who are sub
scribing literally themselves and en-
couraginS others to subscribe.
It is believed that the task of OBJ
tanning subscriptions will be far cas-
Ter in this loan than in the past, de-
spite the greatly increased quotas
given every zone and county For.
surely the American people have
learned by this time what a Liberty
Loan means, what il viii do for the
country and what it will do for the
man, whether he be farmer or mer-
chant or laborer, who saves his mon
ey and lends 1t, with int est, to
Uncle Sam. There is really no rea.
son why one loyal American should
have to chase another loyal American
all over a ten-acre field to ask him
to do his duty
It is believed that in this campaign
a much greater proportion of citizens
will go voluntarily to the banks or to
the committee and make their sub
scription directly, obtaining a Liberty
Loan button and thus declaring they
have done their duty to their country.
A great many of our citizens have
registered for the new draft, but the
realize that there is but slight oppu
tunity Of their services being actuall
required in the war It would be a.
excellent thing if these men who's
names are now on the roll ard VIII
feel sure Of exemption because of az
or family dependents or discbilitio
would consider themselves, even nov
"in the service" and devote whatevo
part of their income they can spar
to lending to their government.
The war is costing the Unite
States siXty-seven million dollars :
day. It is our war, our war bill, al
1t is up to us to pay 1t.
