What is Vicks?

s Vieks is the invention of North Carolina
druggist, Mr.. L. Richardson. During his years
OF experience behind the prescription counter,
Mr.. Richardson came to realize the need for some
effective and convenient method of treating dis
eases OF the respiratory organs such as spasmodic
Group, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. The only way
to get medication directly to these parts is in vapor
form, since internal goonly to stomach
MIR. Richardson finally worked out a process
OF combining the standard, time-tested remedies
-Camphor, Menthol, Turpentine, Oil of Eu-
calyptus, ETC. = in salve form, so that when
applied to the body, the ingredients would be
vaporized by the body heat This preparation he
called Vicl's VapoRub.

apply VicLs thickly over the boil,
covering with n thin cloth. Repeat
every few hours.
BRUISES. Apply TO the bruised
part, cloths dipped in bot water,
followed by cloths dipped in cold
, water--then hot cloths. then cold
cloths again, etc. Keep this up for
live or ten times TO reduce the in
iiammation. Then apply Vlcks
thickly covering with a light cloth.
Every few hours repeat the applica-
tion Of the hot and cold cloths, fol-
lowed by dressing Of Nieks.

warm water, then apply Nicks as a
salye.
EARACHE. in some cases Of ear
ache Nicks gives relief. Apply a
little on cotton and place in tie ear
EczENIA-TTCHINGS. In many
cases these are blood diseases and
should be treatel by q competent
physician. To reduce the itching. and
as cooling, soothing application,
apply Nicks over the parts affected,
covering with a light cloth. In se-
we're cases do not wash the parts
often; water irritates certain forms
Of eczema.

fectei with snow or apply ice water
Then rub Vlcks well in; do not
cover with cloth. DO not bring the
parts affected near a fire.
HEADACHE, NEURALGIA. Rub

considerable reduction. The offerings
of refined sugar for February deliy-
cries are at 1880 cents per pound
wholesale. Still further reductions
are in sight for March.
Of the Cuban crop of 4,S0C,0oO
tons, it is estimbated that the allied
governments will take approximately
1,25O,OOO tons, leaving 2,55O0OO
tons for the U. S. Last year the Uni
ted States consumed over 100000
tons of sugar. The crops for Louisi-
ana, the west, Porto Rica, and Hawaii
will aggregate approximately 2,o0O,-
600 tons. Together this is $4,000
tons more than the United States
used in 1919. In 1919 the United
States need 100000 tons more than
in 1918, and 100000 tons more than
were ever used in the history of the
country.
OF seems, therefore, that the sup
ply is ample, and if normal condi-
tions obtain, prices to the housewife
should go lower in the spring and
summer months.

of the greatest, "Bull Market" ever
experienced. Spot cotton is firmly
held. Spot cotton is not following the
decline in futures.
Neither the fall in the value of the
pound sterling not the action of the
Federal reserve banks to refuse to
loan money on Liberty bonds will
stampede the holders of cotton-We
prefer to hold what we have for a
fair price based on manufactured
goods rather than raise another crop
under present conditions and with
the present labor situation.
"The cotton producer is deter
mined for once not be smoked out
like rat. If allowed a mans chance
we can hold the balance of our crop
until we can realize what we think
it is worth. If we are denied mans
chance to hold it and raise another
crop we will let the 1920 crop go
hand and hold what we have in hand.
"This will be one of the chief sub
jects of discussion at the coming
meeting in Montgomery.
..'There has not been plow stuck
in the ground as yet to prepare for
the cotton crop. The development of
the next 80 days, will determine
largely future actions of the cotton

"BULL MARKET" PREDICTED
BY ]. S. WANNAMAKER

! Columbia, Feb. To- Inc recehl
attack on the cotton market repre-
sents the dying efforts of the shorts
prevent the expectation of cotton
by the American Cotton Association
to the idle European mills" said j.
Skottowe Wannamaker, president OF
the American Cotton Association
last night.
Mr.. Wannamaker says that the
American and English mills know
that the starting of the European
mills will mean the restoration of q
parity between cotton and cotton
goods.
Mr.. Wannamaker's statement fol
lows in full:
"The recent attack on the cotton
market represents the dying efforts
of the "Shorts" to prevent the ex-
porting of cotton by the American
Cotton Association to the idle Euro
pean mills.
"The American and English mills
know the available supply of cotton
is short and are determined to pre-
vent the now idle mills of Europe
getting cotton. They know every bale
shipped to those mills diminished
their possible supply and further
what is more to the point, they know
that the starting of European mills
will be the beginning of the restora-
tion on a parity between cotton and
cotton goods. All this talk about the
exchange rates or value of the pound
sterling is pure unadulterated non
sense, so far as England's shipping
cotton is concerned. England buys
our cotton and either ships the goods
here to settle for cotton or else she
ships her manufactured goods to the
silver countries where our dollar is
below par and there buys our money
or credit for SO cents and less on
the dollar. The only place to ex-
change situation hurts now is in
those countries who have not yet be-
gun to export manufactured goods
The world needs manufactured
goods fully as bad as Europe needs
raw cotton-and no force, however
arbitrary and powerful can long delay
/ he supplying of raw cotton to idle
mills. The margin of profit is now
and will continue to be too great tc
force mills. Wherever they are loca.
tied to remain idle English mills fea,
the competition of European mills
and gladly aid in the suppression OF
the value of their money so long a:
they are able to pay in manufactured
goods here or where ever our money
is below par.

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLI-
... CANS AGAIN JOIN
IN HEATED DEBATE

Washinton, Feb. 16.-Laylng ASIDE
its legislative business, the senate by
unanimous consent took up the treaty
of Versailles again today and resum-
+ ed in all it's vigor the ratification de-
bate interrupted last November.
{. The opening gun in the new phase
of the fight was fired by one OF the
treaty's irreconcilable foes, Senator
Mccormick, Republican, Illinois, re-
opening the discussion with speech
bitterly assailing many proposltlons
of the document and counsellng the
Republican leaders not to consent TO
further compromise.
He was followed by Senator NC
Cumber, Republican, North Dakota
3 leader among the treaty's Republl-
can friends, who fayed the heads OF
both parties for their failure to com
promise, and declared that "chllds
play obstinacy" alone stood IN the
way of ratification.
Drawn into the debate by the
charges of the North Dakota senator,
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the
Democratic. leader, asserted that the
Democrats already had "abandoned''
their previous stand and had offered
compromises, but that the Republl-
cans were demanding nothing short
of complete Democratic surrender.
Once it got under way the debate
speedily revived the whole scale OF
issues which the senate had debated
from May to November of last year.
The subject technically under con-
sideration, a motion by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, to modify
the Republican reservations on with
drawal, was not mentioned until late
in the day when Mr.. Lodge took the
floor to explain his reasons for NOV
ing for the change.
Settlement Far OF.
When the debate was reopened the
private negotiations for compro-
mise apparently passed into the dold-
runs and some of the treaty's most
active friends on both sides of the
chamber predicted there probably
would be no settlement until discus
sion on the floor had spent itself. The
negotiations are expected to continue
however, and some senators believe
they may yet bring an agreement
that will permit ratification.
Reinstatement of the treaty as the
foremost subject of senate consider.
alton was accomplished without q
word of debate and without any more
of the dramatic than might attend
the introduction Of private pension
bill. The only outward evidence OF
he unusual was the crowded CALLER
les, where empty seats had been ir
the majority for many weeks, but
where scores stood in line all of today
hopeful of a glimpse into the senate
chamber.
Acting under an agreement with
Democratic leaders, Senator Lodge
asked unanimous consent that tbs
treaty be taken up and then presented
first of the proposed reservation
changes he made public last week
His amendment would make the with
drawal of reservation stipulate thai
notice of withdrawal from member
ship in the league of nations coulc
be given "by the president or by con
gress action alone whenever the ma
jority of both houses may deem i!
necessary"
