mate friend she had was Mrs. Charles

Mrs. Willard says that during the
six years she knew the woman she
always. had inferred that she was a
widow. Mrs. Page never had be-
come confidential as to her former
life, Mrs. willard said.
Believed Her Divorce.
In Mamaroneck, where she had
lived for two seasons, the Impression
prevailed that the woman was a
divorcee, her former husband being
"Stoneham Page, a wealthy New
York broker" Mrs. willard knew
nothing OF this, and a diligent search
of directories, files OF newspapers. and
other records disclosed no such per-
son in New York or its environs.
Near Mrs. Pages body was found
the following note:

Flu This Year IL sIiider

While we know very little more
about the flu now than we did last
lycar-the germ itself has never been
positively identifiedIstlli most au,
are breathed in. If the system Is IN
good shape and the membrane or
lining OF the air passages is IN
healthy condition-these germs are
| thrown off. ,
A good plan is to melt a little
IVick's VapoRub in a spoon night ana
morning. and inhale the vapors, also
Iapply a little up the nostrils several
times a day, especially just before
being exposed to crowds.
Treat All Colds Promptly
Above all, keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining or the air
passages and make them real breed
ling grounds for germs. Prompt use
iof Eick's VapoRub aids in prevent
ling colds. For head colds. sore
throat or hoarseness. 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 pores. Then
IVicks should be rubbed in over the
parts until the skin is red--spread
on thiclily and covered with two
| lthickneSSeS OF hot flannel clOtns.
Leave the clothing loose around the
neck, so the vapors, released by the
body heat, may be freely inhaled.
| These vapors, inhaled with each
breath, carry the medication directly
to the lungs and air passages. At
the same time Vicks is absorbed
thru and stimulates the skin, thus
laiding to relieve the congestion
| within.
Use OF External Treatment for Colds
! Increasing
Vick's vapoRub Is the discovery
Iof a North Carolina druggist who
found how to combine in Salve form,
| the standard time tested remedies,
| Camphor - Menthol - Eucalyptus
Thyme. etc.--so that when the salve
is applied to the body heat, these
ingredients are liberated in the form
of vapors.
VicEs is particularly recommended
for children's Group or colds, since
it Is externally applied and therefore
can be used freely and often without
1.-The slightest harmful effects.
| The best evidence Of the value of
IVicks is the steadily increasing num-
ber Of people who have been con-
lverted to the use of this "outside"
treatment.
Beginning with the customers of a
small retail drug store, the use OF
Vicks has grown-year by year
state by state-until now more than
IA million jars are used annually.
And this in spite of the fact that
IVicks is a new form of treatment to
many folks in the North and West.
