sages. Nature's usual signal that a cold is coming on — use Vicks Nose Drops at once — just a fewdrops up each nostril. Repeat every hour or so if needed. This will prevent many colds bv stopping them before they get beyond the nose and throat —where most colds start. 2.—After a Cold Starts. At night, massage the throat and che'st well with Vicks Vapoßub (now available in white "stainless" form, if you prefer). Spread on thick and cover witli warm flannel. Leave the bed-clothing loose around the neck so that the medicated vapors arising can be inhaled all night long. If the air-passages are badly clogged with mucus, melt some Vapoßub in a bowl of hot water and inhale the steaming vapors for several minutes. (If there is a cough, you will like the new Vick Cough Drop actually medicated with ingredients of Vicks Vapoßubl) During the day—any time, any place—use Vicks Nose Drops every few hours as needed. This gives you full 24-hour treatment and without the risks of too much internal "dosing” which so ofteni upsets digestion — especially of children. Trial Offer Guarantee Every druggist in the United States is offering Vicks Nose & Throat Drops and Vicks Vapoßub on the following trial guarantee: Use together as directed in the Vick Plan for better "Control-of-Colds.” Unless you are delighted with results, your druggist is authorized to refund your money.

WOMEN FLIERS STILL MISSING .CONTINUED FROM FAGE ONE' word from the missing women, flying a Lockheed J-5 plane. Neither the parents nor airport officials had any word of the flyers as dawn found the mountain section soaked by rain and covered by flog. Airplanes awaited clear skies to renew the search. Shelton said that Mrs. Stewart planned flight to South America on her arrival in New York. Indianapolis, Jan. 6. —lU.R)—Mrs. Debbie Stanford, who. with Mrs. Ruth Stewart is reported missing in Pennsylvania mountains, formerly lived in Indianapolis and received her first flying instructions here. Both women left here for New York Sunday, after a flight from St. Ijouis, on a proposed 5,500 mile flight to Buenos Aires. They were flying the plane in which they expected to make the South American journey. They were accompanied to another plane by Gentry Sheldon, St. Louis, who also owned the ship in which the women were flying. With Sheldon were Mrs. Stewart's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Woerner. Mrs. Stanford, who als oformerly lived here, moved to Houston. Texas, two years ago. Last summer she finished seventh in the women’s air derby from Santa Monica. Calif., to the national air j races at Cleveland. Ohio. RASKOB URGES SHOWDOWN ON PROHIBITION ■ IINI’INI KI) h'RCiv P4GE ONE alleges are subject to control by organized minorities. This, he said, would really constitute a referendum the only way provided for by the constitution. The chairman warned of the danger of wrecking the party unless the issue is met. He said it would have to be faced in spite of the fact that many say “the people want bread, not beer.” Recognizing the wide split between wets an.l drys, lie opposed any plank to repeal the ISth amendment or modify [ he Volstead act. On Hie contrary, he would - hind party members to nothing except to permit a vote on his home rule plan. "It gives every democratic senator, congressman, state committee, and in fact every democrat •everywhere, full opportunity to work among the people of the respective states either for or against [ the ratification of the homo rule ■amendment,'' Raskob said. He outlined his proposal in an open letter to members of the democratic national committee, who meet here Saturday to fix the time and place for the party's national convention. in his letter he said prohibition was a social issue and should be taken out of politics. "I believe there will be either a definite split between the democratic party of the north and the democratic party of the south or there will be formed a liberal party in America unless those of us who love the traditions of the democratic party find some common ground under the teachings of Jefferson upon which both the wet and dry elements in our party can unite without resorting to expediencies and sacrificing the high principles of either school of thought," the letter said. "1 believe that this common ground must be found before the convention meets in order that democrats everywhere may have opportunity to study it carefully and understand it. thus enabling deelgates to the convention to act with a great sense of security in the adoption of a platform plank

that'will take prohibition out of I the hands of propagandists and ; politicians and place it with the people for decision." Raskob supported his position iby revealing the results of the poll |of 1928 campaign contributors. He ’ received 25,578 replies represent- , ■ ing 33 per cent of those polled, . [ which he said was a high percent[iage. Granting, be said, that there -I was some truth in the claim that I this poll showed a preponderant wef sentiment because the bulk of , ' contributions came from wet states, jhe pointed in answer to the over- ' whelming percentages in the poll | which showed: J 93 per cent favoring submitting : |the prohibition question to the 11 . i people. . ■ 95 per cent favoring ratification 1 ; of all future amendments by the ■ [ people instead of by legislatures, j i 80 per cent favoring a congress- i i ional resolution giving the people [ ■ opportunity to vote on the home I i rule amendment. >! 79 per cent favoring submission ; -of a straight repeal amendment, b >| 91 per cent favoring submkision i ( of either the home rule or the . straight repeal amendment. i; 22 per cent believing that prohibition could lie ignored by the , i party. . | o SNOW AND RAIN STRIKE NATION J i (CONTINUED FORM PAGE (INE, | ; nia Sierras.
