Flu this Year in Milder

The rules given above. recon-
mended by the New York City
Board Of Health, are guides to
good health at all times. Particu-
larly should they 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 du now than we did last
year-the germ itself has never
been positively identiied-still
most authorities agree that the flu
germs are breathed in. II the sys-
tenn is in good shape and the mem
brane or lining Of the air passages
Is in healthy condition-these
germs are thrown off.
A good plan is to melt a little
Vick's VapoRub in a spoon, night
and morning, and inhale the vapors,
also apply a little up the nQstrils
several times a day, especially Just
before being exposed 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
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 fan
mel cloth. For deep chest colds,
severe sore throat or bronchitis.
hot wet towels should FIRST be ap-
piled to the throat. chest and back
between the shoulder blades. tn

be rubbed in over the parts until
the skin is red-spread on thickly
and covered with. two thicknesses
Of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck, 80
the vapors released by the body
heat may be freely inhaled.
These vapors. inhaled with each
breath, carry the medication d.
rectly to the lungs and air pas
sages. At the same time Vicks is
absorbed through and stimulates
the skin, thus aiding to relieve the
congestion within.
Use Of External Treatments 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.
Camphor Menthol - Eucalyptus
Thyme, etc.-so that when the
saive is applied to the body heat
these ingredients are liberated in
the form of vapors.
Vicks is particularly recon-
mended 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 IL the steadily increasing
number Of people who have been
to the use Of this out

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 II million jars are used an

fact that Vicks is new form OF
treatment to many folks in the
North and West. Vicks can be

Lee Kelley of Fort Smith New State Commander and Pine Bluff
 1921 Meeting Place.

Helena, Aug. 1S-The Arkansas department of the American Legion Tuesday went on record as opposing the cash bonus for eX-service men. Amid tumultous scenes the majority report of the resolutions committee which urged the cash bonus was voted down. The representative of Little Rock, Fort Smith and Helena stood like a stone wall and with the.r large vote formed the bulwark of op- position to the committees reeoln- lmendation. The vote was close, how ever, and only a few votes saved the day for the anti-bonus advocatts. From o'clock this morning the friends of the bonus were fighting for recognition in order to bring the mat ter to the conventions attention, but delay followed delay and it was 3,30 Tuesday afternoon before the test came. Charges that the chairman, aided by the Little Rock delegation, was using steam roller to cause de- lay in taking the vote, were made by many. It was stated by adherents of the cash compensation plan that delay in voting meant that the artis were using the 'big stick" to force other delegations into line and were playing for time in order to reduce the ranks of the pro-bonus delegates. Anyway it was a hot fight and dele gates were forced to show their col ors for the edficaton of their con- stituents.
