Vicks Acts Both Externally
and Internally

X7ICK'S VAPORUB is the discovery of North
v Carolina druggist, L. Richardson who found way
to combine the standard, time tested remedies -
Mentho1, Canphor, Turpentne, Eucalyptus Thyme,
Juniper etc. - in save form, that when Vicks is
applied the body, these ingredients vaporizcd
by the body heat.
INTERNALLY, these vapors, inhaled with each breath
all night long, carry the medication direct the air
passages and lungs
EXTERNALLY, Vicks is absorbed through and stirnu-
ates the skim attracting the blood the affected parts
and aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the infam
nation congestion.
How the Use of Vicks Has Grown
Starting customers of Mr. Richardson's retail
drug store, the of Vicks has increased county by
county, state by state, until than II million
jars used annually practically one jar for every
family in the United States-and this in spite of the fact
that Vicks is still treatment to many people in the
North and West Once used Vicks is friend for life
it is SO easily applied-so quick in its results

D. w. Roderick who packed large
quantity of apples for w. e. Benteen
in the vacant store building in the
Hamisch block this fall, was shipped
those apples away this week. The store
building when cleaned out, will be
fitted up and occupied by Geo. Bailey,
who finds 1t necessary to expand ow-
ing to the crowded state OF his present
store room and his growing business.
1t is an exhilarating sight to see a
force Of masons laying brick on the
new bank building, working even in
the sharp, frosty weather sending the
walls upward. II plans now on foot
materialize the bank building is to be
followed at once with other improve
ments on Main street of substantial
nature. Commencing with the new
year this building movement may be
the dawn of those better days that we
have been predicting for Oroville. +

deceased lived in Oroville for several
years, and was master mechanic at the
round house, and will be kindly re-
membered by many of the older resi-
dents of the place. The deceased was
native Of Nova Scotia and was some
60 years of age.

Since taking charge of the local
steam laundry G. Schassberger has in
vested largely in new machinery and
made of it one of the most complete
plants Of the kind in north central
Washington. Just recently he installed
five ton mangle that takes in and
dries the largest pieces of wash goods.
The business of the plant has increas-
ed amazingly. From business Of some
$50 to 500 per month it has increased
to a business of from $500 to $500, and
is steadily growing. Mr.. Schassberger
expects to place the landry In charge
of a brother of Mrs. Schassberger, who
just recently returned from France
and was discharged from the army,
and who will shortly arrive In Oroville
to make his home.

G. NJ. Scott, who naturally takes
much interest In better roads, being In
the auto business, has been active re-
Gently in securing funds for improving
the northern extension Of Main street
and other highways that are in need of
repairs. Through an interview with
Commissioner Mitchell he was able to
obtain sufficient funds to blot out a
mud hole at the east end of the bridge
across the Okanogan, near the Stans-
bury place.
The residents of Nelson voted on the
question of incorporation Tuesday Of
last week, which carried, and at the
same time town officers were selected

w. w. Alderman, years ago a resi-

Alderman very kindly, as he looks

leaving here Mr.. Alderman has spent
five years in Alaska and speaks of

Since leaving here his children have
