Take No Chances
With Flu and Grip;
Check All Colds
Local People Warned of
Danger in Neglecting Colds

While there is no cause for serious
alarm over the flu. at the present
time, health authorities say that ex-
ira precaution should be taken 10
check every cold at the very start.
The safe and effective way TO do
this is TO rub the throat and chest
at bedtime with Vicks VapoRub.
Vicks brings relief in two ways:
% Its ingredients, vaporized BY
the warmth of the body, are inhaled
direct TO the infected air-passages.
(2) II acts through the skin like
a poultice, drawing out" all tight
ness and pain.
Also snuff Vicks up the nose when
going into crowded places. Many
cases Of flu start from germs being
breathed in. Vicks will help keep
the air-passages in condition TO
throw off these germ attacks

here several times. His outstanu-

Battling Shaw Of Mercedes. Both
of these pugilistS r clever and
pack q punch.
