tude that from the Alika crater. This flow became damned up on the side and did not succeed in reaching the government road. Considerable pasture land was de- stroyed, however, and a small herd
 of cattle was imprisoned between the fresh lava and the still hot Alika flow. The lava really plays some strange tricks on mankind. For in- stance, the flow was eating it's way downward towards koa mill which lay directly in it's path. After burn ing the piles of lumber in the vicin- ity and lifting 12-foot crane high in the air, the lava separated, sur the mill, and then crept on, leaving the building itself safe.
 Gradually all the craters on Mauna Loa have spent themselves, the last glow has faded from the skies. and the 1919 flow is dead.

judges decided that the Act of 1870 repealed the clause in the Act of Settlement; but Lord Astor can af- ford to carry the case to the House of Lords.
 "If Lord Astor can get the House of Lords to decide that the Arc of 1870 did not repeal the disablinb clause in the Act of Settlement, then he and his wife will be free as air; their titles and privileges will au- tomatically fall from them, and re- store them to their primitive Amer ican simplicity. Only, they will have to get new act to enable them to sit in the House of Commons.
 There is indeed another reason why we think that Lady Astor can not sit in the House of Commons. She is peeress, which is a legal status, sharing the privileges and disabilities of her husband.'

London, Feb. 10.-If Lord Astor is sincere in his desire to rid himself of his peerage, says the current Saturday Review. let him find the bagtelle of 1000 or 5000 pounds ito pay the expenses of an informer who shall sue him for penalties for voting illegally in the House of Lords. Or. as the peers very sell dom vote, let Lord Astor put up the money for similar action against Lady Astor for voting in the House of Commons"
 "For." continues the Saturday Re- view. "Lord and Lady Astor stand or fall together. Either they arc both qualified to sit in both houses. or neither is qualified to sit in eith- CT. Both were born out of the king dom, not of English parents. and their ability or disability to bee peer and peeress depents on wheth- CT the Naturalization Act of 1870 did or did not repeal the disabling sec tion in the Act of Settlement, passed in the reign of William III. which says that no person born out of the kingdof or Dominions, except of En. glish parents, can sit in either House of Parliament, or in the Privy Council.

 Use of External Treatments for
 Colds Increasing
 Vick's VapoRub is the discov- cry Of a North Carolina druggist who found how to combine in salve form the standard time tested remedies. Camphor-Men- thol-Eucalyptus-Thyme. etc. so that when the salve is applied to the body heat these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors.
 Ficks is particularly recom- mended for children's croup or colds, since it is externally ap- piled and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects.
 The best evidence of the value of Nicks is the steadily increasing number of people who have been converted to the use of this "out- side" treatment.
 Beginning with the customers of small retail drug store, the use of Nicks has grown year by year-state by state-u urftil now more than IT million jars are used annually. And this in spite of the fact that Nicks is a new form of treatment to many folks in the North and West. Eicks can be had at all druggists in three sizes-Soc, Soc. or sI.2o. adv.

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. Parti- cularly they should 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 epidemic-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 old fashioned grip.
 Keep the Air Passages Healthy
 While we know very little more about the flu now than we did last year-the 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 condi- NA0h SSA tiAlOWH Vtl
