Flu and Colds How They Gan
 Be Prevented
Sleep Well-Eat Wisely Ex- ereise Regularly - Avoid Persons Having Colds = Don't Worry
KEEP AIR PASSAGES CLEAR
InHamed Air Passages Make Ideal Breeding Grounds
 for Flu Germs.
Flu This Year is MiIdsr


 While we know very little more about the flu now than we did last year-the germ itself has never been positively identifed-still most authorities agree that the flu germs are breathed in. If the system is in good shape and the membrane or lining Of the air pass ages ts in healthy condition-these germs are thrown of.
 4 good plan is to melt little Vick's vapoRub in a spoon night and morn- ing, and inhale the vapors, also apply a little up the nostr.ls several times a day, especially just before being ex- posed to crowds.
 Treat Ali Colds Promptly
 Above all, keep Mee from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the aii passages and make them real breed ing grounds for germs. Prompt use ot Vick's EapoRub aids in preventing colds. For head colds, sore throat or hcarseness, rub Vicks well over the throat and chest and cover with a warm flannel cloth. For deep chest colds, severe sore throat or bronchitis, hot wet towels should first be applied to the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the peres. Then Ficks should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red-spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck, so the vapors, released by the body heat, may be freely inhaled.
 These vapors, in11aled with each breath. carry the medication directly to the lungs and air passages At the same time Vicks is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, thus aiding to relieve the congestion within.
 Use of External Treatment for. Colds
 Increasing
 vick's TapoRub Is the discovery of 2 North Carolina druggist who found how to combine in Salve form, the standard time tested remedies, Cam phor-Alenthol-E - Thyme etc.-so that when the salve is ap- piled to the body heat. these ingredi- ents are liberated in the form of vapors. s
 Vicks is particularly recommended for chiidren's croups or colds. since it Is externailY applied and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects. r@5
 The best evidence of the value of faChS 1S tnt ctEduity- lHSlSdS-uS aNIn% Der of people who have been eon4ert- : Cd to the use Of this outside treat nent 4 is. Beginning with the customers of a small retail drug store, the use of Vicks has grown-year by year-stafe 5y Etate--until now more than r million jars are used annually. And this in spite of the fact, that Vicks is Q new form of treatment to many folks In the North and West. V.cks can be had at all druggists in three sizes-2ec. sec or sI.2o.

 As far as Norwich manufacturers are concerned this failure on the part of the administration to relieve the coal shortage means that unless q supply of hituminoua coal arrives ir this city within the next ten days, many of the factories will be con- pelled to shut down to await ship nent According to statements made Monday evening 1t seemed evident that tie supply of coal on hand at many of the local factories would last about one more week and uMess some ralief was found it would De necessary to close down some depart

 A general iGea of tte amount of coal on hand at a few local plants can be gained from the following. The United States Finishing Com pany has about one weeks supply and can manage to keep goirG for about ten days with the coal they have picked up. The Ponemah Mills, 1t is said. are also short of coal and unless some is received within week it might be necessary to close sev efal departments. The Aspinook company at Jswett City is suffering from lack of coal and may be forced to suspend operations.

MORE ARRESTS At PITTSBURG
Twenty Additional Union Lenders To
Be Cited for Contempt.

Probably twenty additional arrests
will be made today among mine work
er union leaders in the Pittsburg field,
according to reports received in the
state house. All of the men will be
cited for contempt in failing to answer
summonses to appear before the court
of industrial relations. The men may
later be prosecuted criminally for in
citing unrest among the miners.
No effort is being made to move the
union leaders now in the Girard Jail.
Neither have steps been taken to place
any of the mines under state control.
This action is expected to come only
in event the miners do not return to
their jobs and production of coal is
threatened. Under the new industrial
court act the court judges now in
Pittsburg may set machinery in mo-
ton for taking over of the mines. In
the meantime the court is continuing
its hearings. A second demonstration
set for Girard Thursday will be care
fully watched by state officials.
What will you do when the Girard
Jail is filled?" Governor Allen was
asked today.
There are plenty of other jails In
the state and have access to a whole
flock of them" replied the governor.
Scores of letters and kilograms have
reached the governor commencing
him for his course in handling the
mining situation. The first set of res
olutions came today from the Rotary
club at Junction City. They pledged
support to the governor in his effort tc
keep the mines open.

Already. since the issuance ot
license No. 250,000, other applications
for tags have brought the total to
$50, ,223 motor vehicles in the state of
Kansas. This includes passenger cars
and trucks. according to A. Z. Cornell
in charge of the automobile license
department of the office of the Sec
retary of state.
1t is estimated that there is a motor
car to every six persons in the state.
A total of 1,622 tmotor vehicles have
been sold in Kansas since January /.
The number of the last license issued
on that date was 22s,601
Since July l, 1919, there should
have boen a total of s1,071, 1,950.50
available for the maintenance of roads
in Kansas. Fifty cents of the SIS
license fee goes to the maintenance of
the state department. The law re-
quires the expenditure of the re-
mainder on road work in the counties
from which the money comes Fig
ured on the full year basis at the $3.50
rate, there should be a total of
$1,02S, ,7O4.50 available. Licenses fig
ured on the 81 rate for half year per-
mits amounted to S43,246
1t is said that there is hardly a
county in the state that complies with
| the law regarding the expenditure OF
! the funds that revert to them for roa d
maintenance. Part of the amounts are
! put into general funds, or. are placed
! in the road fund and used for almost
any expenditure deemed necessary by
county commissioners. Good roads
enthusiasts point out that the expen-
| diture of all the money accruing for
work on maintaining roads would
prove highly beneficial to Kansas
towns. Merchants indicate that 80 per
cent of the out-of-town trade coming
| to Topeka make the trip in motor cars.
More good roads running into Topeka
would insure a great deal larger
amount of out-of- town business that
new goes to other places because of
| better roads lying in that direction.

Washington, April 1.-THE senate

tions in executive session for nearly
two hours the senate finally deferred

Other cabinet members said that the
strike situation was practically the sole
topic of discussion.
The cabinet meeting a&ed for one
hour and half. All the secretaries
declared Wilson seemed in the best OF
health. 1t was his first cabinet nsaet-
! ing in eight months.
There were four new members at
| today's session, Secretaries Colby,
Alexander, Payne and Meredith.
Calls on New Board.
| Mr.. Palmer went direct from the
White House to his office and imme-
| diately summoned for a conference his
assistants who have been keeping in
close touch with the strike situation.
|
president telegraphed the members OF
the newly named railrosH labor board,
asking them to come to Washington
anc be prepared to function as soon as
their nominations had been confirmed
by the senate.
| The immediate summoning OF the
board was one of the matters decided
upon at the cabinet meeting, 1t was
llearned. The president had beer IN =
formed that Senator Cummfns, chairt
man OF the senate interstate commerce
Icommittee, had prepared a resolution
permitting the board to meet here in
stead of at Chicago. and the presi-
dents action was in anticipation OF
the adoption of this resolution.
Lenine Back of It&
It was learned authoritatively that
one of the things Palmer told the cab
met was that the department of JUS
tice has evidence to support the charge
that the communist International par
ty of Russia, dominated by Lenine and
Trotzky, is the moving force behind
the railroad strike. The nature of the
| evidence was explained to the presi-
dent and his cabinet.
| Reports from federal agents were
said to have disclosed that the com
Imunist party was financing and other
wise aiding the strike thru the agency
of the Industrial Workers of the
World
Evidence which the department has
received was declared to justify the
statement that the strike was to be
lmerely step in the well known plan
of the communist group and that the
bend and aim was a mass strike TO be
followed by revolution. Reports re-
garding the communist internation-
ale's part in the strike were under
lstood to have been laid before Presi-
dent Wilson and the cabinet today by
Attorney General Palmer, but those
pro sent persisted in their silence as to
what decision had been reached at
