Of Vick's VapoRub aids in prevent
ing colds. For head colds, sore throat
or hoarseness, rub Vicks well over
the throat and chest and cover with
warm flannel cloth. For deep
chest colds, severe sore throat or
bronchitis, hot wet towels should
first be applied to the throat. chest
and back between the shoulder blades
to open the pores. Then Vicks should
be rubbed in over the parts until the
skin IL 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 directly
to the lungs ana air passages. At the

to relieve the congestion within.

The number Of printers who used

them were fellows OF native ability.
They possessed a wine ONE manner

skill and distinction, for a few days.
Many of them had a wide range OF
literary allusion and much education
and culture. They could express
sensible opinions. They were not
embittered by reverses Of fortune and
I. w. W. agitators GOULD have done
nothing with them. They got about
what they wanted out OF life. Their
rowing natures were refreshed by
constant change, and they could earn

CAR SHORTAGE

One Of the greatest causes Of the
high cost Of living. at least the high
cost of food. is the lack Of cars tC
move products to market How manv
apples were lost last fall and winter
because they could not be shipped.
Food products have rotted in all parts
of the country because Of the car
shortage. The motor truck has solved
to an extent short hauls. but cars used
in hauling passenger automobiles, trucks
and other modern day conyeniences
have taxed railway service.
Every orchardist in Hood River
should give the ear shortage situation
his gravest consideration He should
demand legislation that will enable
railways to build new equipment. He
should make Investigations of such leg
islation and decide wisely on it. Some
legislation sounds like panacea solu
tions, when in fact it will bring fur
ther hampering.
The wise orchardist, at the same
time he adds his sentiment to move
ments for railway betterment. will i'm
mediately provide adequate storage fla

pended on home storage Of the apple
crop will provide mighty good insur-
