These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to all the air passages, loosening the phlegm and easing the difficult breathing. At the same time, Vicks acts externally like a poultice or plaster, increasing the circulation of the blood throughout the chest and throat regions, and thus aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the tightness and soreness. Besides cold troubles, mothers find Vicks useful for many other minor ailments in the home. It is truly “The Remedy of 100 Uses.”

THE IKDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TARKINGTONFOR PUBLIC MEMORIAL TO PAUL DRESSER Author Says Composer Served People and Touched Their Hearts, Booth Tarkihgton believes the peo pie of Indiana should honor Faul Dresser, author of the State song, “On the Banka of the Wabash.” Hi a letter to William Fortune, chairman of the Paul Dresser memorial committee of Indiana, Taukington said: “Public memorial* are the enduring expressions of honor to men and women who have served the people; and memorials to poets and the makers of songs are for such of them as have not only served the people, but have touched their hearts. Droeaer did that. "He wrote a song that touched the Hooeler heart*, so that It lives permanently in those hearts, finding Its home there as securely a generation after it was written as it did when it was fresh from his pen. "In one sense, the song Itself is his memorial, as enduring a one as we can build: yet the song is what he gave us, and It is fitting that we give something, in return, to his memory, in recognition of our debt, and in recognition of what the song has done for us. For a Butte that has a song is the better for It, indeed; and what Is more important, the State that has a song is the dearer to Ha sons and daughters. "There are Hoosiers who never knew they loved Indiana until they sang Dresser’s song. How better could he have served his State and all its people than by writing it? It Is time for us to show wo are grateful to him and that we hold his memory in honor.”
