Wick Plan Helps Mothers
Solve Problem of Colds

Here, briefly, is the Wick Plan for
better "Control-of- Colds:
1.-BefOre a Cold Starts
When children come in shifting
and sneezing, apply few Vicks
Drops up each nostril. Use the Drops
yourself at that first scratchy,
sneezy irritation Of the nose or up
per throat-Nature' warning that
you are catching cold" If you or
the children catch cold easily, use
the Drops after exposure to any
condition you know is apt to be fol-
lowed by a cold-dry, over-heated
rooms-indoor crowds u d d n
changes, wet or cold-dust and
smoke-etc., etc.-and there is the
slightest STIFFNESS Used in time,
many colds can be avoided.
2.-After Cold Stars
At night, massage the throat and
chest well with Vicks VapoRub.
Spread on thick and cover with
warm flannel. Leave bed-clothing
loose around the neck so that the
medicated vapors arising can be in
hailed all night long. During the day
any time, any place-use Vicks
Drops as needed for ease and COM
fort. This gives you full 24-hour
troatment-and without the risks Of
constant internal dosing" so often
upsetting to digestion, especially the
delicate digestions of children.-Ad-

Dear Jane Jordan: I wonder If you could
tell what's the matter with me and advise
me what to do. j am 10. fairly good look
ing. but usually unhappy. Life seems very
dull to me- I don't enjoy parties or
crowds consequently I stay at home most
of the time. Several boys have professed
their love for me and most boys like my
company. but I never have cared for any
of them.
Last month I met man whom I liked
very much but l can't seem to make hit.
When I'm in his presence. I don't know
what to say or do. I keep thinking how
wonderful he is and how many more
things he has accomplished than I have
How can I make him like me without
seeming to throw myself at him?

that I am not a mystic Or a mind

problems Write me another letter

lead, so that can determine the
causes of your unhappiness.

JOCKEY BARRED
BY STEWARDS

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Dave
Bryant, jockey who was reported
to have fled Chicago in a mix-up
with bettors at Hawthorne race
track, was under indefinite sus-
pension today by the Illinois Turf
Association.
Joseph A. Murphy, presiding
steward, stated that a weeks
investigation indicated Bryant
had ''tOuted" one horse to win
while riding another and had
left town when his mount won.
There was no evidence showing
he had accepted money or been
beaten, the stewards said.
Last year Bryant was barred
from Thistledown for the same
offenSe. At Louisville, where
Bryant was found later at the
home Of a brother, it was said he
admitted the gangsters forced
$70O on him the night before the
race and told him not to win with
Givanna.

CHICAGO. Aug. 19.-Robert
Moses Grove, left handed fireball
pitcher, and king of modern
twirlers, sought record today as
the worlds champion Phila-
delphia Athletics started a four
game series with the White Sox.
If he wins, it will be his six
teenth in a row, and will tie the
mark of the American League
for consecutive victories. Joe
Wood of the Boston Red Sox and
Walter johnson, of Washington,
turned this trick in 1912.
Nineteen straight victories
were hurled, by Timothy Keefe
in 1888 and by Rube Marquard
In 1912, both members Of the
New York Giants at the time.
Red Faber, only spit-baller in
the league, will oppose Grove.
The veteran has lost some tough
games lately with practically no
support. In seven games the Sox
scored only Is runs for him, none
in the past % innings.
One of Groves two defeats this
season was by the White Sox.

Few Poor Fights

You can count on the thumbs
of your two hands the poor
bouts Mann has put on since he
has been working with Fort Of
ficials, and fighters will lay
down, some of them, on any
matchmaker. But Mann tells
every fighter who applies to him
for work he will not be paid for
indifferent fighting. and Fort
Washington backs him to the
limit on his edict.
So, with effective and eff
cient matchmaking, a pretty
good article of boxing is avail
able at the post, which is close
enough to Washington and
which has a seating arrange
ment to convenience something
over 1000 fans.
Almost kid glove conduct of
the fights has attracted a
clientele which in noway resem.
bles fight crowds of a former
era. The soldiers, in their swell
khaki uniforms, present a mill
tary picture at which one takes
a second look. The ushers wear
white cotton gloves and handle
