GIRLIES CARRY CUSHIONS
Three Too Practical Jokers In
Woman's Dormitory at Kansas
Wesleyan Feel the Weight of
Paddles.

Salina, Kan, Feb. 16.-Three girl
students of Kansas Wesleyan univer-
sity were taken from their room in
the ladies' dormitory here Saturday
night and padded by the matron and
other roomers in the dornlitory after
they had withstood an all-night siege
in a vacant room.
The three girls were accused of
having entered the other rooms in the
dormitory the night before and wreck
ing the beds by taking out the stats.
In order to get revenge. the natron
and the other girls organized a party
to paddle the offenders. They were
discovered in a vacant room on the
third floor. where they had barricaded
the door and prepared for a siege.
All efforts of the attacking party to
get them out were of no avail and
they withdrew shortly after midnight.
There was no bed in the room where
the girls had fortified themselves and
late in the night they stole out and
into another room. where there was
bed on which they could sleep. The
girls are members of a group who call
themselves the "Timid Ten
The change was soon discovered
and the other girls were aroused.
They took the three unawares and
led them out for a padding. The
paddles were not spared, and, as a
result, the girls are carrying sofa pill
lows with them wherever they go, not
for appearance, but because they need
them, they say.

Flu and Colds
How They Can
Be Prevented
Sleep Well-Eat Wisely-Exer-
else Regularly-Avoid Persons
Having Colds-DOn't Worry.
KEEP AIR PASSAGES CLEAR
Inflamed Air Passages Make
Ideal Breeding Grounds
for Flu Germs.
Flu This Year Is Mildcr

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 au-
thorities agree that the flu germs are
breathed in. If the system is m good
shape and the membrane or lining OF
the air passages is in healthy CONDITION
these gernls are thrown off.
A good plan is to melt little Wick s
VapoRub in a spoon night and morn
ing, and inhale the vapors, also apply
a little up the nostrils 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 pas
ges and make them real breeding
grounds for germs. Prompt use of
Vick's VapoRub 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 bronchitis.
hot wet towels should first be applied
to the throat. chest and back between
the shoulder blades to open the pores.
Then Vicks should be rubbed in over
the parts until the skin is red-spread
on thickly and covered with two thick
nesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck, so the
vapors, 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 thru and
stimulates the skin, thus aiding to re-
lieve the congestion within.
Use of External Treatment for Colds
Increasing.
Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of
a North Carolina druggist who found
how to combine in Salve form. the
standard time tested remedies, Cam
phor-M enthol-Eucalyptu
etc, so that when the salve is applied
to the body heat, these ingredients are
liberated in the form of vapors.
Vicks is particularly recommended
for children's Group 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
Vicks has grown-year by year-state
by state-until now more than IL mil
lion jars are used annually. And this
in spite of the fact that Vicks is a
new form of treatment to many folks
in the North and West. Vicks can be
had at all druggists in three sizes

MISS ROSEBUD SWANS
FAMOUS DANCING STAR

Captain Swain of the W. l.
Swain Show Co., has been making a
study of heraldry and he has discOv-
cred that the pretty and petite Miss
Bell Rosebud is direct descendant
Of Miss Terpischore who made her
self responsible for all the dancing
in the world some years ago back
on Mt. Olympus or some other high
hill which had a ball room. Conse-
quently Captain Swain is willing to
guarantee the most varied, the new
est and the most entertaining dane
ing act when the Swain Show Co.
opens for a weeks engagement in
Dresden on Sept. 20. The Rosebud
Sisters represented the best there
was to be found in dancing, but
now they have separated profession
ly, the other sister having married
and quit the stage. Bell was the
producer of the Rosebud act. She
has retained all of the original
dances and added many new and
nifty steps in an effort to increase
the Rosebud reputation as premiere
dancers, which she has done.

SAYS TELEPHONE SERVICE
DOES NOT MEET DEMANDS

Esq. W. R. Hawks was down last
week from Gleason. He tells the
Enterprise that the Gleason Sweet
Potato Association is making extern
sive plans for handling the growing
crop of potatoes, which he says will
be about normal. Mr.. Hawks says
mis- association is terribly handi-
capped because Of poor telephone
service between Gleason and Martin
there being no direct line and that
nine times out Of ten when he gets
Dresden he is notified "the lines
busy" For number of years there
has been a demand for better tele-
phone service between Dresden and
Martin, and we see no relief in
sight except through the rural or
home service. No blame is attached
to the operators, but to the lack of
decent facilities to render a public
service.

FIGHT RESULTS
IN DAMAGE SUIT

A fight occurred three miles
southwest of Dresden, near Travis
Chapel, Thursday afternoon which
came near having fatal results. 1t
appears that for SOME time there
had not been very good feeling be-
tween Cleveland Davis and Chester
Jolley, who occupied the relation
of tenant and landlord. Thursday,
Davis called upon JOlley to furnish
team to assist in hauling tobacco
which was refused, and hot words
were spoken, when, it is alleged, Jol-
ley assaulted Davis with wagon
standard, brusing him about the
head, back, legs and arms, breaking
his right arm. Davis insists that he
was unarmed and defenseless and
retreated, and that Joney followed
him up with above result. Jolley
claims Davis was advancing on him.
Davis was brought to Dresden where
DIR. Mayo set the broken bones. He
then swore out warrant against Jol-
ley, charging him with assault with
intent to kill Later, through his
counsel, T. K. Reynolds and L. E.
Holiday, he brought suit against
Jolley for $4,000 and had attach
ment issued against JOllcy's proper
ty. Upon trial of Jolley upon the
criminal charge Saturday afternoon,
he waived examination and was
boond over to circhit court by JOS
tees Lewis and McClain and placed
under bond of $4,000 for his appear
