BOARDS SEEK ADVISORS
Call on Members of Bar for

There Is no occasion for calling In
notary for the purpose OF administering
the oath TO men who are drafted Ior

Justice Mcstrezat, of the Supreme Court
who is chairman of the State Legal Al
visory Board.
In a letter to United States Attorney
Francis Fisher Kane, he said that IN
view OF the authority under the draft
regulations of the lawyers who assist
the registrants to administer the oath
notary Is unnecessary and there is no
need of subjecting the registrant to that
expense.
Justice Mestrezat said that under the
regulations of the War Department gov
erning the appointment Of local legal
advisory boards for selective service the
three members Of each local board have
the power to appoint associate members
and such associate members have the
power to take the afiidavits Of the regis
trants whom they have assisted.
At present there is a lack OF suffi-
cient numbers Of associate members, ana
in order that more may be obtained the
State legal advisory board invites the
local boards to notify the State board
through Hampton l.. Carson, 1924 Chest

The state Board especially urges
members Of the Philadelphia bar to vol
unteer for this serpice and asks them
TO send their names to Mr.. Carson. 1t
is pointed out that no lawyer can do a
more patriotic duty than lend MS aid
In this emergency.

All are centered in the first PROPOSE
tion and all depend upon the last, ac-
cording to the forecast which was COM
piled under the direction of Charles
Coolidge Parlin. manager of the divi-
sion.
For" the pamphlet asks, without
the defeat of Prussianism what security
would there be for either wealth or hap
piness?
"Over and above all material things
is the mind of man, anC in the last
analysis the human will is more potent
than matter
A golden opportunity for manufacture
ers TO gain permanent markets through
meeting everyday needs is forecast and
the firm maintenance of markets is
pointed out as the way business can
benefit itself and the nation, the inter-
ests of both being identical.
SHIPPING IMPORTANT
The amount of available shipping, de-
termining how much American-made
war material can be sent overseas,
affects the nations output. according to

quirements of the Government for 1918

terials--iron. steel and wood--exist in
sufficient quantity, according to the re-
view. which next takes up the fuel and
transportation questions. These linked
problems will in large measure be solved
by Government administration and by
better weather. it Is predicted. The
analysis warns against wholesale elimi-
nation of the so-called nonessential in
dustrles and reduction of volume, with
the resulting peril of destroying the
countrys financial fabric.

Costly Red Window.

Visitors to the financial district
stand in wonderment before a build
ing facing the curb market which Is
leased for Il long term by cigar com
pany. The company has n store on
the ground floor, but instead OF win
dow containing the usual signs, a glar-
ing red board with tiny windows well
ebove the street level, greets the eye.
In these windows, between 10 n. IN.
and 3 p. m., sit the telephone operators
OF curb houses, operating switch
boards In connection with stock deal
Ings on the curb. The "cubby" holes
behind the windows are barely big
enough to hold the operators. The up
to-date switchbOards are connected
with brokerage houses In the street.
Orders are signaled or shouted to the
curb men on Broad street, who con-
gregate directly in front of the
store. There are hundreds of wires
Ir this small window space, and the
inside of the store Is fitted with addi-
tiOnal booths containing dozens or
private wires. The system is coop
eratlve among the brokers, and brings
about $4,000 revenue annually to the
cigar company, so that the red win
dow can certainly be classed as the
most expensive one In New York.

ing how soon n dangerous or fatal dis
ease of which they are the forerun-

cause of that backache at once, or you
may find yourself in the grip Of an In
curable disease.
Do not delay n minute. Go to your
druggist and insist on his supplying
you with box Of GOLD MEDAL
Haarlem Oil Capsules. In "a hours
you will feel renewed health and yigor.
After you have cured yourself, con
tinue to take one or two Capsules
each day so as to keep in first-class
condition, and ward off the danger Of
future attacks. Money refunded II

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw of the grippe
germs, to aid In l0osening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
Vap0Rub 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 rcd,
spread on thickly and cover with two
thlcknesses 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
n germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezlng or splitting. so
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-comm0n
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 cold. For head cold, melt q
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still. use Vapo-
Rub In benzOln steam kettle. II this
Is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. FIJI 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 Camph0r 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 II is just
now being introduced, but in other sec.
tions 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. 1t Is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since 1t is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.
