Flu this Year is MiIder

The rules given above, recom- mended by the New York City Board of Health, are guides to good health at all times. Particu- larly should they be followed just now, when influenza is again abroad in the land. Authorities agree. however, that the flu this year is less severe than in the last epi- demic-the attacks are shorter and the death rate lower. In fact, many physicians insist that the epidemics now being reported from so many sections are not flu at all, but simply the oId-fash- toned grip.
 Keep .he Air Passages Healthy.
 While we know very little more about the flu now than we did last year-hle germ itself has never been positively identified-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 passages is in healthy condition-these germs are thrown off.
 A good plan is to melt a little Vick's VapoRub in a spoon, night and morning, and inhale the va DOTS, also apply a little up the nos trils 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 of the air passages and make them real breeding grounds for germs Prompt use of Vick's VapoRub aids in preventing colds. For head colds, sore throat or hoarseness, rub Vicks well over the throat and chest and cover with a warm fan nel cloth. For deep chest colds, severe sore throat or bronchitis, hot wet towels should first be ap- piled to the throat, chest and back

 These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication direct ly to the lungs and air passages. At the same time Vicks is absorbed and stimulates the skin, thus aid ing to relieve the congestion with in.
 Use of External Treatments for
 Colds Increasing
 Vick's vapoRub is the discovery of North Carolina druggist who found how to combine in salve form the standard time tested remedies, amphor-Menthol- = Thyme, etc-so that when the salve is applied to the body heat these ingredients are liberated in the ;orm of vapors.
 Vicks is particularly recommend
  since it is externally applied and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harm ful effects.
 The best evidence of the value of Vicks is the steadily increasing number of people who have been converted to the use of this out side" 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 r million jars are used annually. And this in spite of the fact that Vicks is new form of treatment to many folks in the North and West. V.cks can be had at all druggists in three sizes-S0c. COG, or $1.20.

SHORTAGE OF
COTTON Seen
British Textile Authority Sounds
Warning and Advises De-
velOpment New Sources.

Manchester, Eng, June 19.-Pro-
fessor J. A. Todd, Secretary of the
Empire Cotton Growing Committee of
the Board of Trade, has just delivered
to the Textile Institution warning
of the prospective world scarcity of
cotton in the near future and en-
phasized the need for developing
new sources Of supply as well as ex-
perimenting with cotton substitutes.
After dealing exhaustiveIy with the
labor position in the United States
cotton growing areas, bad weather
and ravages by boll-weevil as well as
the acreage position, the Professor
said, ut is obvious that we were not
going to get 100000 bales of cot
ton this year" At home it seemed to
him the consumers had not yet felt
the full weight of the high cost of
the raw material. Even in America
he did not see much sign of the con-
sumer's intention of doing without
cotton fabrics.
The statistics for Americas domes-
tic consumption for the first three
months of this year were on a basis
uncomfortably near to 100000 bales
a year. British consumption before
the war was nearly 100000 bales
and the total American crop last year
was only 100000. What was going
to happen when the rest of the world
and particularly the continental
countries-woke up and began to de-
