2.—After a Cold Starts At night, massage the throat and chest well with Vicks Vapoßub

now available in white “stainless" form if yon prefer). Spread on thick and cover with warm flannel. Leave the bed - clothing

loose around the neck so that the medicated vapors arising can be inhaled freely all night long. Dur-, ing the day—any time, any place —use Vicks Nose Drops as needed for ease and comfort. (If there is, a cough, you will like the new Vicks Cough Drop- actually medicated with ingredients of Vicks ( Vapoßub ) This gives you full 24-hour treatment and without the risks of too much internal “dosing.” which so often upsets the digestion—especially of children—and lowers body strength at a time when Nature. most needs It to resist disease. 1 Don’t “dose'' colds except on your, doctor's advice. Trial Offsr to Vick Users The Vick Plan for better "Con-trol-of Colds" has been tested and proved. But the makers want all users of Vicks Vapoßub to test it for themselves in their own homes. Get a bottle of Vicks I Drops from your druggist today.. Try the plan as directed. If re-1 suits are not more than satlsfac-, tory, your druggist is authorized, to refund your money.

LENZ LEADS IN BRIDGE TOURNEY New York, Dec. 9.—((J.R)—Sidney S. Lenz, grim champion of the new official system in contract bidding, retains his lead over Ely Culbertson after session two of the battle of the bridge theories. Lenz and his partner, stocky young Oswald Jacoby, bagged four of the seven rubbers played last night and boosted their advantage of 1,715 to 2',075, a gain of 360 points for the day. The second session was funeral in tone after the blatant affair Monday night. The contest got started then amid much blustering, speechmaking, photographing, broadcasting and general confusion. The second session however, was not lacking in drama. Culbertson, a thorough showman, waited until everything was ready for the opening deal of the evening, saw to it that the press was ably represented behind the leather screen which shields the players from kibitzers, then calmly asked if anyone*present would like to bet SSOO against his SI,OOO that he and i his wife, Josephine, will not win. “Taken,” snapped Jacoby. Culbertson raised his brows, look- | ed rather scornfully at Jacoby, then I smiled. I “Do you want another thous|and?” he asked. Jacoby, an actuary, said he would think it over and let Ely know toi morrow. “Oh, well,” Culbertson said, "I might as well tell you that I’ve got j $25,000 I’ll bet at two to one odds that Jo and I beat you.” So fc- es could be learned there were no takers, other than the one SSOO bet with Jac my. All four players were in better form last night than during the i three rubber sessions of Monday night, when they played bridge like dubs. - Culbertson did exhibit signs of irritation on several occasions. He complained frequently about squaking noises behind the screen, made by reporters tip toeing in and out of the room. “My God!” he cried once, throwing down his hand. “Who's doing all that tramping around in the Russian boots?” The guilty party, a ghost writer, yelled back across the screen: “Those are not Russian boots. That’s the floor.” The nearest approach to physical harm came during the evening’s play when Culbertson, who
