l A cold is simply an infamnna- ton of some part of the air pas sages- throat, 1arynx or bronchial tubes-just like a sore is an in ham1nation 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 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

EXPLAINING "JACK" IN FLAG
ORIGIN of Emblem Of the British En-.
pirs Goes Back to the Days OF
Plate Armor.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" e1-
plains itself; like the ''ricolor" OF
France. But who put the Jack in
Union Jack? This curious term, which
Is the only name by which we know
the British flag, has been the subject
Of much surmise; but so unique is Its
history that you would never guess It
in thousand years!
In ancient times every English SOL
dier in the field wore the protecting
"jacque" or surtout lover alD, which
was a garment of padded leather in
terspersed with pieces Of plate armor,
upon the breast the crimson cross OF
st. George. When the soldiers had
occasion to board ship their jacques
were placed next each other along the
bulwarks OF the ship in the same way
that the Romans arranged their
shields on board their galleys.
The jacques so afforded the men pro-
lection against the arrows OF their
adversaries on the water, and by their
device upon the outer side proclaimed
the nationality of the ship. Excepting
the kings own ship, which flew the
royal arms on silken sail, the jacques
bore the only indication Of the nation
ality Of vessel.
In the course Of time, when the
jacques were not longer needed along
the bulwarks, a solitary jacque was
probably displayed at the bowsprit'
and so the name "Jack" came into use
for the flag that superseded it.
In 1901 the three kingdoms Of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland were for
mally united and the British flag
made a combination Of the cross OF
st. George for England, Of st. Andrew
for Scotland and Of St. Patrick for Ire
land. It was this union which Aade
the British flag the Union Jack"

Reliable information.

An American tourist recently visited
the, ancient city of Chester, and was
startled by the loud changing OF the
fire alarm bell.
Seeing others run, he ran, too, and
presently found himself one Of a crowd
gathered to witness the departure OF
the fire engines. In short time the
engines dashed out Of the yard and
disappeared down the street. In a
whirl Of dust and smoke.
With a view to gathering lnforma-
ton, the tourist addressed himself to
q man in the crowd:
"Say, mister, suppose in an OLD
place like this containing so many
timber-fronted houses, you often have

"Pretty often," assented the man.
"How often, now, does fire occurF'

LEGION BACKS PLAN

ize Two Troops Of Cavalry for
State MiIitia-committee to Recon,-
mend Officers to Bs Commits Stoned.
Frank Click Post Of the American
Legion will back the movement for
the organization Of two troops of
cavalry in this city. A special COM
mittee, to be appointed for the plir.
pose, will recommend men to be
commissioned captains and lieuten-
ants of the troops. This action was
decided at meeting OF the post held
Tuesday night Major E. E. Lam
bert, of Des Moines, was present to
explain the requirements.
He was here Nov. 2, and discussed
the project with members of the
MarshalltoWn Club. At that time a
committee from the club was ap-
pointed. The committee from the
American Legion will be appointed to
confer with the one from the club.
In order to organize the troops it
will be essential, as Major Lambert
explained, to secure sixty-five enlist
ed men and three commissioned Of
ficers for each troop, and also to
provide a suitable place for drilling
and for keeping horses and equip
ment. No definite information was
available as to how this could be
done or what suitable building
would cost.
The committees will be appointed
at once and after confering will make
a report. Major Lambert went this
morning to Grinnell. -.

The Auto Quiz

l. Why 10 an engine harder to
start In cold weather than 1t IN in
summer. especially after it has been
allowed to stand for some length Of
time?
An automobile engine Is harder to
start in winter because of q com
bination OF difficulties due only to
the cold atmosphere. Cold thickens
or solidifies the oil that IL carried In
the. crankcase, III the transmission
and rear axle unit. It prevents the
battery from functioning as we'll as
it does In summer. 1t does not allow
the gasolene to vaporize and form ~
good charge for igniting In the
cylinders. because the cold winter air
acts as sort OF condenser to gaso :
lene vapor instead OF mixing as 1t
should with the vapor when the en-
CINE is flrst started. Thus. with
thick lubricant the battery Is re-,
quired to supply more energy to ths
starter. and with q poor carbureter
mixture it must continue the crank
ing operation for = longer period OF
time. II the battery Is not we'll
charged the engine VIII not be
cranked ~ fast az 1t should be AND
will give poorer spark In battery
system. All these difficulties lead TO
harder starting. ,os
2. What kind of mixture may be
used on the wind shield, to pEevent,
rain or snow from sticking and dimrf
ming the glass? 4,iia
A mixture OF glycerine, salt and
water may be used to help keep the
wind shield clean in winter. -Four
ounces OF glycerine. two of water and

enough for two or more applications.
Clean the glass first with water. dry
and apply with cloth by rubbing in

8. Why should not gasolene sar
grease solvents be used to clean an;
automobile top? 81
Do not use gasolene or. other quick
action solvents to clean the top il
it Is mohair, and any top interior be-
cause these fluids will destroy the
water proofing Of the material. Use
soap and water only.
4. Why is a light weight oil used
in new engines. or those with newly
fitted rings and bearings?
The common belief that a light
weight oil should be used in new en-
gines or those which have new rings
and bearings is because the light oil
will splash or circulate more readily
than heavy oil, Compression must
be good II light oil Is used. Both
light and heavy oil are. good lubri-,
cants and both will hold thir body,
il Of good quality, but heavy oil
will thin down much more than that
of ligt4 weight under heat Of the en-
CINE.
