DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE
OF VICKS

Vapors Important-For these troubles
large part of the value of Vicks lies in
its vapoeizing qualities. So whenever
Vicks 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 be
freely inhaled.
Hot Wet Cloths-In cases Of deep chest
colds, severe sore throat or incipient pneu-
monia, hot, wet towels should be used
over the throat and chest to open the
pores of the skin before applying Vicks.
For Head Colds, Asthma, Catarrh, Hay
Fever-Vicks can be melted in q spoon
and the vapors inhaled, or a little should
be applied up the nostrils and snuffed up
the head.
For Spasmodic Group, Children's Colds
Rub Vicks over the throat and chest until
the difficult breathing is relieved. then
spread on thickly and cover with hot
flannel cloth. An application at bed time
usually prevents a night attack of Group.
Vicks is particularly recommended for
children's colds since 1t is externally
applied, and can, therefore, be used often
and freely without disturbing the young
ters' delicate digestions.
For Deep Chest Colds, Sore Throat
Tonsilitis, Bronchitis, Coushs-or any
affection of the respiratory organs where
there is tightness or soreness, Vicksshould
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 thickly and covered with
one or two thiclnesses Of hot flannel cloths.
If the cough is annoying, small piece
the sire of pea can be swallowed every
few hours.

Eloquent Sermons, Fine Singing

The evangelistic meetings now
being held in the Methodist
church gather force and interest
as the days pass bye. Rev. Lay
ton is proving himself a very
eloquent speaker, his Sunday
night address being unusually
masterful. His text was "He
that willeth to know, shall know
of the doctrine. He spoke of
some of the excuses unbelievers
give for not becoming christians
and proved them all fallacies and
the audience was moved by the
force of his unanswerable argu-
ments. Laclede is fortunate to
have such a strong logical
speaker. Monday night his ad-
dress was largely to the younger
folk but was also appreciated by
the older or oldest present.
Wednesday night he outdid him
self in his sermon on eff Christ
should come to Laclede." His
logic had great force and sunk
deep. He said in part that if
Christ did come today to Laclede
he would find it much like the
people of Capernium of Christ's
day, some ready to accept Him,
Others rejecting Him; Christ
would find some skeptical and
halting in unbelief; Christ would
find many homes here where the
bible is unused Christ would find
h ere in Laclede many protesting
persons who were doing very
little for the advancement of His
kingdom, many inactive; Christ
would find here in Laclede some
who were violating the COM
mandments and some of the laws
Of Missouri.
