RUNAWAY GIRLS
 ARE CARED FOR
 BY ASSOCIATION

The age-old question "Why do girls leave home?' is always seriously ask ed by the Bridgeport Protective asso- citation whenever a runaway girl is brought to it's doors. The case is thoroughly investigated and the cause of the girls leaving is ascertained and, if possible, rectifed. A great many runaway girls are cared for by the association every year.
 Recently a runaway girl was brought to the association headquar- ters who was feeble minded and ot immoral tendencies. The association located the parents of the girl and urged them to allow her to be placed in a custodial asylum where she would be safe. The parents gave their consent and she has been placed in an institution where she herself is safe and well cared for and where she can do no harm to the commit nifty.
 Quite different was the case of two girls who ran away from their homes in a mid-Western city and landed in Brid geport without money, food, or @ place to stay. Like so many others similarly situated before them, they were sent to the Bridgeport Protect i've association headquarters
 This organization took them in, lo- eated their parents and had their homes visited. One girl was returned to her people but it was found that living conditions were not suitable al the home of the other so the consent of the parents was obtained, work | was found for her in Bridgeport and she is now living happily here under l the supervision of the association. The Protective association is asking ! for funds to continue it's work and l Mrs. Walter S. Wilnnot, 5GB Stratford ] avenue, chairman of the 1nance con-
 mittee, is receiving all membership subscriptions for 1920

He says he | really does not know why he was elected to the presidency but wo know that it was because of his great value, his priceless personality and his endearins friendship. Next month, in company with few of the other commercial teachers in school, he ex- poets to attend the convention of the commercial teachers of the eastern United States which is to be held in Philadelphia.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE
 OF XICKS

Vapors InP0r4ant-For these troubles large part of the value of VIcks lies in it's vaPorizing qualities. So whenever Vicizs is applied over the throat and chest, care should be taken to leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of funnel, so that the vapors arising may ba freely inhaled.
 Hot Wet Cloths-In cases of deep dha& colds, severe sore throat or rinGpient pnn- monia, hot, wet towels should be used over the throat and chest to open the pores of the skin before applying Vic1zs. For Head Colds, Asthma, Catarrh, Hay Fever-Vicks can be melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled, or a little should be applied up the noStrIs and snuffed up the head.
 For Spasznedic Group, Children's Colds- Rub Viclzs over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing is relieved, then spread on thickfy and cover with hot flannel cloth. An application at bed time usually prevents night attack of croup. Vicks is particularly recommended for chiIdren's colds since it is externally applied, and can, therefore, be used often and freely without disturbing the young ters' delicate digestions-
 For Deep Chest CoIds, Sore Threat, Tonsflitis, ErcnchStia, Ce3zhs-or any affection of the respiratory orgens where there is fEghfness or soreness, Victrs should be applied over the throat and chest if necessary, first using hot wet cloths; and rubbed in well until the skin is red; then spread on thickiy and covered with one or two thicnesses of hot flannel cloths If the cough is annoying, a small piece the size of pea can be swallowed every few hours.
