The Cold That
Hangs On

This Is No. 5 Of a series of advertisements, prepared by q
competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which
attack the air passages-sucha as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whoop-
ing Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold-often leave
these organs in an infamed, congested state, thus afording a
favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vicks Vapo-
Rub may be of value in this condition.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-04-07

A cold is simply an inhamma-
ton of some part of the air pas
sages-throat, larynx or bronchial
tubes-just like a sore is an in
f1ammation of the skin. A long
continued cold means constant
inflammation and this constant
inflammation frequently weakens
the air passages SO that they
become an easy point of attack
for invading germs of more serious
diseases. A"cold that hangs on"
therefore, is simply natures red
flag" indicating that there is
trouble below" and this warning
should never be neglected.
Nightly applications of Vick's
VapoRub will aid nature to clear
up that inflammation. Because
Vicks acts locally by stimulation
thru the skin to draw out the
inflammation, attract the blood
away from the congested spots

ABE LINCOLN'S
MEMORY TODAY.
Gatherings Throughout Coun-
Try Observe Birthday Of
Great War President; Lans-
ing Pays High Tribute

Washington, Feb. 12.-The Ameri-
can people were urged today by Sec
retary Lansing to find in the life of
Abraham Lincoln the inspiration to
forget self in devotion to country and
to the fundamental national princi-
Piles OF liberty and justice.
"The memory of Lincoln" said the
secretary of state, "of his humble or
igin, of his attainment to the highest
honor in the gift of his fellow coun-
trymen, of his unsurpassed service to
the republic, and of his character as
a man and as public servant is one
of the great spiritual assets of this
nation.
Personified Americanism
ut is in turning our thoughts to
the career of this great American
that we learn the true meaning of pa
triotism and gain true conception of
the opportunities which America Of
fers to those who inspired by lofty
ideals press onward along the path Of
unsefish public service.
TN commemorating the birth of
Abraham Lincoln, we do honor to the
American spirit Of which he is the
personification. He is the typical AM
erican for future generations, the in
spiration to us all to forget self in
our devotion to our country and to
the eternal principles of liberty and
of justice which are the life blood of
the nation"

CONVENTION ARE Lain

Chicago Feb. 12.-Conferences pre-
Urinary to the fifty first annual con-
vention of the National Woman SUI
frage association began today and will
continue until the convention ends
reXt Wednesday. Prospects were that
the association would be abandoned to
give place to a new organization un-
der the name of the League of Women
Voters. This suffrage leaders said
probably would be contingent upon
ratification of the National Woman
Suffrage amendment by thirty-six
state, expected before the convention

cessful conclusion the half century's
lstbors of the organization.
In connection with the suffrage as
sociation's meeting there will be ma
tional convention of woman lawyers,
the first ever held.
A reconciliation with the woman's
party, the radical wing of the move
nent, was declared by members of the
suffrage association to be hardly pos
sible.''
Whether the new League of Women
Voters will be held to strictly nom
partisan course was a question in
which political observers of the two
