Watch Family Now While Ep Epidemic Colds
 Are Spreading

KA CHEST colD OR COUGHING COLD DEVELOPS (some colds get by all pre- cautions) use Vicks VdboR,.b to re- ieve miseries. Rub VapoRub on throat, chest and back and cover with warmed cloth. VapoRub acts to bring relief 2 ways at once. It stimulates surface of chest and back like a poultice. At the same time it releases helpful medicinal vapors that are breathed direct into the irri- tated air passages.
 Both Va-tro-nol and VapoRub have been tested through years of use in millions of homes. When you use these two medicines you are not experimenting, you are not taking needless chances. Ren,ember: If the condition of the cold fails to respond quickly to treatment-or if more serious trouble is indicated-call your family physician right away. In the meantime be prepared! Get a bottle of Vicks Va-tro-nol and jar of Vicks VapoRub today-have them handy, ready to use.

At treacherous time like this, with an epidemic of contagious colds all around you, what you do today may save you and your family a lot of sickness, worry and trouble later.
 Follow these simple rules ofhealth: Live normally. Avoid excesses. Eat simple food. Drink plenty of water. Keep elimination regular. Take some exercise daily-preferably outdoors. Get plenty of rest and sleep.
 Then use these two time-tested treatments when needed.
 AT THE FIRST SNIFFLE, sNEEzE OR NASAL IRRITATION put few drops of VickS Vd-tro-r,ol up each nostril. This helps to prevent many colds from developing, because Va-tro-nol is expressly designed to help Ma lures own defenSes against colds. Off a head cold causes stufiness, you'll find that few drops of Va-tro-nol helps clear the clogging mucus and makes breathing freer and easier.)

That such need not be the case is proven daily in New York City by one Joe Pilates who is rebuilding the chassis of many New Workers in easy lessons.
 The Pilates System" is revolu- tionary in that it is so simple. MT. Pilates doesn't believe in elaborate exercises and apparatus for the pur- poses of body building. His theory, as related to Kenneth Wilson for the February Cosmopolitan, is that anyone under eighty can have a young body by making habit of posture and breathing. Actually there are few exercises that MT. Pi- lates recommends; the routine can be absorbed in such natural forms as brushing ones hair in certain ways, using scrubbing brush when taking a shower, relaxing before go- ing to sleep.
 The hair brushing business, for example is as simple as this: take your comb in one hand, brush ill the
