Why Measles May Be Dangerous Cough, Measles or ev'n 1 f neumonia . Influenza, Whooping ,r;*K *«■ '"■> vSfo.

Few of us escape measles—it is one of the commonest of childhood diseases. Every mother knows the symptoms, but the mistake that most mothers make is in failing to realize that the child is not fully recovered after the eruption and fever disappear. The air passages are still inflamed and if this inflammation is not cleared up, the air passages may be weakened, thus paving the way for pneumonia or serious disease of the lungs. * Nightly applications of Vick’s \ apoßub will aid nature in relieving this inflammation. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough. In 'addition, the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long,

bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. Children’s digestions are delicate—easily disturbed by too much dosing.” Vicks, therefore, is particularly recomn>_aded since it is externally applied and so can be used often and freely without the slightest harmful effects. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red —then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the fonn of a funnel so the vapors arising may. be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying-, swallow a small bit of Vicks the size of a pea. Samples to new users will be sent free on request to the Vick Chemical Company, 233 Broad' Street, Greensboro, N. C.

After a few weeks’ service at the Philadelphia depot and several months at Boston he was ordered to France in August, 1917. Owing to great scarcity of tonnage at that time and the necessity for salving material on a large scale, Mr. D’Olier was assigned to the newly organized salvage service, and in January, 1918, took command of the first salvage depot that was operated by the American army. Within six months the work had grown so rapidly that the personnel increased from 12 to 6,000, and this depot was salvaging for about 750,000 men, and was larger than any depot operateil by either the British or French armies. This depot was at St Pierre des Corps near Tours, France, the headquarters of the service of supply. In July. 1918, Captain D'Oller was ordered to Lyons, France, to organize the second large depot, which at the time of the armistice had a capacity of taking care of salvaging for upward of a million and a half men.

After the St. Louis caucus he was placed in charge of the state organization division at national headquarters, New York city, and gave his entire time without any remuneration whatsoever to American Legion work

"And what was the most terrible sight you witnessed In the war?” she asked. "Well, ft was like this,” replied the soldier. “We had just spotted a Ger- ( mnn machine gun nest with about twelve enemy gunners that were holding up our advance. We located the nest and put the first shot right in the middle of the Jerries.” “How dreadful,” interrupted the old lady, “did It kill them all?” “No’in,” replied the soldier sadly, "It was a dud.”
