Flu This Year Is AIild@.

While we know very little more about the flu now than we did last year-the germ itself has never been positively identfhed-Sti11 most au- thorities 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- tion-these germs are thrown of.
 A good plan is to melt nttie vick's VapoRub in spoon night and morn ing, and inhale the vapors, also apply little up the nosrIs several times a day, especially just before being ex- posed to crowds.
 Treat All Colds Promptly.
 Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and make them real breed ing grounds for germs Prompt use of Vick's VapoRpb aids in preventing colds. For head colds, sore throat or hoarseness, rub Vicks well over the throat and chest and cover with a warm flannel cloth. For deep chest colds, severe sore throat or bronchi- tis, hot wet towels should first be ap- between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then Vicks should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red-spread on thickIy and covered with two thieknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing 1O 0t LAA0 tACS>, SO Lue NdpOIS, released by the body heat. may be freely inhaled.
 These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the lungs and air passages At the same time VickS is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, thus aiding to relieve the congestion within. Use of External Treatment for Colds
 Increasing.
 Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of North Carolina druggist who found how to combine in SaIve form, the standard time tested rem eddes, Cam phor - Menthol - Eucalyptus - Thyme, etc.-so that when the sakTe is applied to the body heat, these in gradients are liberated in the form of vapors.
 Vicfss is particularly recommended for chilGTen's croup or colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects.
 The best evidence of the value of Vicks is the steadily increasing num- Der of people who have been convert ed to the use of this "outside" treat ment-
 Beginning with the customers of a small retail drug store, the use of Vtcks has grown-year by year-state by state-until now more than IT million jars are used annually And this in spite of the fact that Vicks is a new form of treatment to manv folks in the North and West Vick@ can be had at all druggists in three sizes-3oc, 60c or $1.20.-Adv.

Just at the present time the fashion whir1 seems centering about aprons of. all kinds on frocks. The greater the contrast between apron and dress, the smarter the model becomes.
 Above is a model of unusual charm. Black taffeta is the material of which most of it is made. The bodice is modeled upon the lines of a peasants blouse and is therefore both quaint and attractive. The feature of the dress, however, is the apron of white figured voi1e that is found at the front and back of the skirt. It hangs from beneath the wide girdle to the hem of the skirt.

collar of accordion-pleated georgette crepe has also a scalloped edge.
 It is. as are most of the other chic blouses of the season. a simple Xii mono waist, with the regulation short sleeves, gracefully wide.
 Instead of being a chenise blouse with a sash to gird in the ful1ness about the wafstline, this number has the fu1lness drawn in with elastic and does not even pretend to hide it, for there is neither sash nor belt.

The aIlover trimming is a strong number for the coming season. Quite the most unusual scheme for this sort of trimming is used upon this blouse of white georgette crepe. With very narrow black ribbon velvet, scallops are traced out over the entire blouse.
 The scalIop idea is carried out in the cut of the blouse also. Thus, the sleeves and the bottom of it are cut into scallops which, of course, set the size for the other scallops. The round
