Hostages, Exchanged for

WARSAW, Feb. 21-sixteen thousand
Polish hostages, released by the soviet
government OF Russia in return for the
release OF bolshevist prisoners. are arriv-
Ing at Warsaw. In order 10 allow these
returning Poles TO cross the No Man $
land. between the Polish and bolshevist
armies. an armistice was concluded on one
sector, and special trains were sent to
meet the refugees with American Red
Cross doctors and nurses on board to
look after the sick and emaciated among
them.
The hostages are to be housed at
Powaski a suburb of Warsaw. where a
series OF big railway warehouses have
been transformed into a miniature city,
heated, lighted and equipped with run
ming water, kitchens, laundries. eating
rooms, sleeping quarters and a hospital.
There are also dislnfection and vacclna-
ton departments, through which all the
refugees must pass. The American Red
Cross has supplied a large quantity Of
second hand clothing for those who are
without adequate garments.
The return Of these hostages is simply
a beginning for there are still 100000
Polish refugees wandering over the wide
spaces of western Russia and trying to
get back to their homes in Poland. The

is one OF the heaviest problems resting

While We know very little more about

VapoRub in a spoon night and morning,
and inhale the vapors, also apply a lit
tie up the nostrils several times a day,
especially just before being exposed to

Treat All Colds Promptly.
Above. all, keep free from colds as

Vick's VapoRub aids in preventing
colds For head colds, sore throat or
