Nightly applications of Vick's
VapoRub will aid nature in this
work. Because Vicks acts locally
by stimulation thru the skin to
draw out the inflammation, at
tract the blood away from the
congested spots and relieve the
cough. In addition, the medici-
nal ingredients of Vicks are
vaporized by the body heat.
These vapors are breathed in all
night long, thus bringing the
medication to bear directly upon
the inflamed areas.
Vicks should be rubbed in
over the throat and chest until
the skin is red-then spread on
thickly and covered with hot
flannel cloths. Leave the cloth
Ing loose around che neck and
the bed clothes arranged in the
form of a funnel so the vapors
arising may be freely inhaled. If
tho cough is annoying, swallow q
small bitof Vicks the size of a pea.

Pneumonia attacks the air cells
Ut the lungs. An inflammation
is set up and matter is thrown
off which causes the air cells to
solidify, thus preventing the
natural flow of blood thru the
lungs. This backing up" of
the blood causes the heart to
pump harder, just as stepping on
a hose increases the water pres
sure, which is the reason why,
during this disease, the physician
watches the overburdened heart
so carefully.
/ After recovery the lungs are
filled with a mass of wreckage-
the debris of the battle-which
must be gotten rid of by a process
known as resolution. Frequently,
infamed spots remain, congestion
persists, cough hangs on. and the
least exposure brings ON q cold
that is hard to get rid of. If
neglected, such damaged air pas
sages may easily develop serious
disease Of the lungs.
Such cases should always con-
tinue under a physicians care
and frequent examinations should
be made to see that nature is

The New Auto Tax Plan

C. NJ. Babcock, who attended the
good roads convention at Mankato,
stated that the proposed trunk lines
of 1000 miles will run through every
town of 1000 or more inhabitants and
will also pass through every county
seat in the state In order to raise
a fund for the carrying out of this
plan it is proposed to tax automobiles
on the following plan. The average
taxation in lieu of all taxes on autos,
under the Babcock plan will amount to
an average of about s18 per car With
about 100000 autos in the state at the
present time, the speaker said that it
is easy to determine the vast fund
that could be raised in this manner.
He said that the amendment calls for
the issuance of bonds by the state if
necessary to meet the requirements
of the Babcock plan, but he was of
the opinion that the state would never
have to issue bonds, for the taxation
of cars would create vast fund with
which to build the 1000 miles of pro-
posed trunk lines throughout the
state. Mr. Babcock said that the tax
on cars will be based on horse power
and weight of cars, and will be in lieu
of all other personal property taxes
on autos. In addition to the fund Gre
ated by the taxation of cars, the state
would be entitled to federal aid I'm
der the plan the heavily populated CEN
ters will pay the greater portion of
the tax, because there are more cars
owned there.-Lake Crystal Union.

Mines to Reopen
Shortage Serious
LIGHTLESS NIGHTS, FEWER
TRAINS CALLED POSSIBLE IN
CENTRAL WEST.

Indiana and Illinois coal mines will
reopen as result of concerted action
of President Wilson, John L. Lewis,
international president of the mine
workers, and Frank harrington, pres
ident of the Illinois district, opera
tors predicted tonight.
Orders were in the mails demanding
that local union officials terminate
unauthorized strikes which have jeo-
pardized the nations fuel supply.
President Wilson caused a rift in
out law strikers ranks by declaring
the principle of collective bargaining
was being marred by the strikes. He
demanded a return to work and as
surance of an uninterrupted fuel sup
ply, promising to order commission
to delve into the miners difficulties.
Authorities said it would be anoth-
er week before normal supplies would
begin arriving. With some cities rees-
tablishing ightless nights and other
wise conserving fuel, further curtail-
ment was in store. Pleas of reduction
of passenger train service to permit
concentrated freight traffic were being
considered by the state public utilities
commission.

General Rate Rise
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION ANNOUNCES FREIGHT
AND PASSENGER RISES.

Advance of 40 per cent in railroad
freight rates in the East; 25 per cent
in the South; 35 per cent in the West,
and 25 per cent in the Mountain-P Paci-
fic territory were granted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Passenger fares were increased 20
per cent, the amount asked by the
railroads to help in absorbing $780,
000,0o0 wage increase granted by the
railroad labor board.
A surcharge of so per cent on rates
for sleeping and parlor cars was
granted, together with 20 per cent
increase in the rates on excess bag
gage and 20 per cent in the rates on
milk.
The increases may become effective
upon five days notice given by the
carriers to the commission and the
public, and they must be put into eff
feet before January /, 1921. Since the
government guarantee to the roads
expires on September 1, it is generally
expected that the advances will be put
into force before that date.
In arriving at the increases, the
commission placed the valuation of the
railroad properties at S18,900,000 600
as against the S20,166, 100000 esti-
mate of the railroad executives.

NARROW ESCAPE.

Thrown under hay rake and car

led for and headed off the team as it
approached. At this point another
break in the pole occurred, adding fur

The girl, still in the circular teeth
OF the hay rake, was not released from
her position until the wheel of the

caused her body to drop to the ground
and the teeth to pass over her.-Lam-
