'er Appetite is keen as Ever UFR ugly cold was “rubbed I* away” without disturbing her stomach at all. There isn’t a sign this morning of lost appetite or upset digestion that ro often start with a cold and grow still worse when the cold is "dosed” with internal medicine. TTianlcs to this Modern External Treatment And all because, last night at bedtime, Mother rubbed the youngsters throat and chest with Vicks VapoRub. How cozy it felt, as Vicks began to “draw out” all the tightness and soreness, like a gentle but effective poultice. At the same time, warmed by her body, it gave off healing vapors that she breathed in. They uuicldy cleared her nose and throat and made her breathing easy again. She soon fell sound asleep, hut Vicks’ double action kept up for hours. And, by morning, the worst of her cold was over. Mother uses it for her own colds, too, with equally good results.

and crew were believ'd to be in tnt unlocated lifeboat an 1 raft. The Vestris, bound from Hoboken for Beunos Aires by way of the Barbadoes and Rio De Janeiro, broadcast the first S. O. S. early yesterday morning. Several passenger and freight ships near her course immediately altered their positions to go to her aid. The Navy and coast guard quickly dispatched rescue ships on the way, from New York and Norfolk. The battleship Wyoming, at sea was ordered to proceed under forced
draft.
The coast guard destroyer Davis, from New York, kept in constant communication with the Vestris during the forenoon. The Vestris told of its decks being awash and of listing 32 degrees to starboard. Then the bow was reported under water. Shortly after noon the passengers, men, women and children, were ordered off in the lifeboats and rafts, j The Vestris’ plight became worse and she wirelessed the Davi s she was in danger of capsizing at any moment. At 1:25 the ship was abandoned and went under the water shortly afterwards. True to the condition of the sea, the Captain and radio operator, still giving the ship’s position and calling for help, were the last to leave. After that—only silence from the Vestris. Night and blackness. The rescue i ships churned up the waves as their propellers raced madly driving them 1 formard to the scene of the disaster. ( 1 The Japanese steamer Ohio Maru | and the San Juan of the Porto Rican i line were the first to arrive at the
spot.
No trace of the lifeboats was found. Other rescue ships arrived , within a short time. Searchlights j were played over the vast expanse of J water. Still no trace of the survivors. 3 h. ough the night the rescue ships swung round and riniml in ever widening circles. The sda was rough. It w as not believed thet frail boats could stand out much longer. Sleepless crews remained at their posts, [leering into the darkness for some trace. At three o’clock a small red light was seen over the horizon by lookouts on the American Shipper. The vessel headed straight for the scene. The light grow strdfiger. It was a flare in one of the lifeboats. Other ships immediately were notified. They drove closer and swept the area. Within an hour after sighting the 1 flare, the American Shiiyier picked up tiie first lifeboat. It was four o’clock. The position of the lifeboat was 37.17 N.uth and Longitude 70.38 West, est mated about .>0 miles from where
the Vestris sank.
— The steamer Myriam next found a EE: lifeboat of survivors. == A crypt message from the Myriam EE: to the steamer Berlin, picked up at EE 4:55 a - m. by the Naval Radio said: =r. “Come on. More lioats to pick up. —- Am hound for Mew York myself. Have rescued Boat No. 5.” The other rescue ships rushed to! the spot indicated by the Myriam. They found lifeboats and rafts drifting helplessly in the open sea. At 6 o'clock the American Shipper radioed the Battleship Wyoming that five lifeboats and a raft hud been ac-
counted for.
A half hour later the American m Shipper reported that all but one life = boat and a raft from the Vestris bad been picked up.
