Washington Feb. 27.-Prosecution OF
employment agencies which are ''eX-
plotting the people and preying upon the

recommended today by Major General
Beach, chief of army engineers, in a
letter to Francis 1. Jones, director gen
eral of the United States employment
service of the department of labor.

reply to a communication from Director
Jones enclosing copies of advertise
ments appearing in the press through
out the country stating that there was
possibility of employment for a large
number of Industrial workers at Muscle
Shoals in the very near future and So
Letting an enrolment fee of one dollar
Director Jones declared that from the
information in possession of his service
there was no basis in fact for such ad-
Vertisements and expressed the belief
that measures should be taken at once
to inform the public of the true facts
concerning Muscle Shoals. He request
ed an expression from General Beach
regarding the status of the Muscle
Shoals project, and stated that the
United States employment service was
in position to supply all men needed
for work there, without expense to the
applicant, whenever the presence OF
workers was required.
In his reply General Beach declared
that all government operations IN the
vicinity of Muscle Shoals had been
closed down for almost a year and there
was no telling when work would be re-
| sumed.

Children can't be healthy if they are kept
indoors all winter. But outdoor play keeps
the Riddles catching cold'', and colds must
not be neglected. How to treat their colds
without upsetting their little stomachs by
continual inward dosing has been a problem.
Mothers prefer Vicks because it is applied
externally. 1t can be used freely and often.
There is no harmful after-effect
Used after wetting or chill, Vicks prevents
colds and attacks of spasmodic Group. Applied
at bedtime, the healing medicated vapors are
inhaled all night. The windows can be left
open. Fresh air helps cure a cold and does
not hinder the inhalation.
