How the Use of this External Treat
ment for Cold Troubles
Has Grown

X TORE than score of years ago, Luns
MI ford Richardson, druggist in little
Il North Carolina town, was trying to
ind new way to treat spasn1odic Group and
colds. He had been trying to find it for years
he needed such a treatment In his own home
he knew that epicac and internal medicines
disturbed the delicate dgestions of children
that the only way to get medication directly
to the air passages and lungs was in vapor
1or1n. So he was searching for an effective
vapor treatment which would be economical,
convenient, and which could be used without
the necessity Of closing up the sick room and
thus excluding the fresh air, 80 important in
the treatment of colds.
At last, this druggist found a process by
which he could combine in salve form the
standard, tme-tested remedies = Camphor,
Mcnthol, Eucalyptus, Thymol and Turpentine
with other volatile oils so that when this
salve was spread over the throat and chest the
ingredients would be vaporized by the body
heat. These vapors, inhaled with each breath
all night long, carried the medication directly
to the parts affected and at the same time the

! As has been his annual custom, the
editor of the Guide has reviewed the
| season of the National league for
1913. In the review attention is call
ed TO the stirring up of interest and
enthusiasm in the middle west by the
victory of the Cincinnaci club in the
National league. Unusual incidents
accompanied the success of the
Reds, not the least of which was
the fact that their victory was some
thing like half century jubilee. 1t
was true that the Cincinnatis won a
championship in the American asso-
citation in 1882, but the baseball
fans' of Cincinnati declined to &C
cept any comparison for the victory
of 1919 except with the victory of
1862
|. z. Sarborn, who has so well re-
viewed the, American league seasons
of the past for the Guide, tells the
story of American league achieve
ment in 1919. 1t was successful
season for the American league clubs.
They had both western and eastern
factors in the championship race and
the contest was full of action and
alive with interest from almost the
very start of the baseball year. New
York's thrust into the championship
contest OF 1913 added vigor to the
race and spiced 1t with enthusiasm
as well as some good sized plu1ns.
The contest for the championship
between the two major leagues-the

it was played there We're many who
thought it would be failure. 1t was
not. From beginning to finish it was
interesting Every seat was sold at
the start of the series for the games
in Cincinnati and every seat was sold
at Chicago. There was one day at
Cincinnati when the attendance was
smaller than anticipated, but one OF

befall any baseball club was partly /
responsible for that.

that the American attitude, influenced
by false information furnished by Peru
is creating unpleasantness for Bolivia
and her neighboring states The news
papers declare the American govern

The attitude of Peru toward Bolivia
Is declared TO be similar to that adopt

according to TEMPO and Dlario, the

Allies Discover
Huge Stores Of
Arms In Germany

Paris, March 27,-Great quantities
of arms have been discovered in Ger
many by the allied officers charged
with supervising execution of the
peace treaty according to advices re-
ceived here. In Brandenburg and in
the immediate vicinity of Berlin alone
$500 three-inch field guns were found.
This discovery by the allied officers,
together with other information in
possession of the French authorities, is
considered by French officials to in
dicate that Germany is endeavoring
to avoid executing the terms of the
treaty.
The discovery is commented upon in
connection with reports that repub-
lie has been proclaimed in the Ruhr
region. The French, 1t is indicated, are
inclined to believe that occupation of
the Ruhr district by German troops
or the alleged separate government
would have as an ultimate effect, if
not as direct object delay or evasion
in executing the treaty terms.
Particular significance is attached
here to the discovery of so many field
guns in small part of Germany IN
view of the fact that the Germans, re.
plying to the demands of the commits
sion of control to which Germany's
excess war material and munitions
should have been delivered March 10,
declared it was immaterial whether
the munitions were delivered to the al
lies or destroyed and they were
destroying them.
