fewerßJ^shorter COLDS ZMmil COLDS A Practical Plan That Is Helping Millions to Enjoy Greater Freedom from Colds 1. To Help Build RESISTANCE to Colds Live normally—avoid excesses. Eat simple food and keep elimination regular. Drink plenty of water. Take some exercise daily—outdoors preferably. Get plenty of rest and sleep. (During the colds season, gargle night and morning with Vicks Voratone Antiseptic, especially designed for safe daily use to aid in defense against infection which may enter through the mouth.) 2. To Help PREVENT Many Colds At the first warning nasal irrita- ' tion, sniffle or sneeze, use Vicks pT H Va-tro-nol—just a few drops up ||| fi||| each nostril. Va-tro-nol is espelllk dally designed for the nose and upper throat — where mosi colds start. Used in time, Va-tro-nol nBBv-' .'3ll ™ helps to prevent many colds — ■' an< i to throw off head colds in the Jm-- early stages. 3. To Help END a Cold Sooner a has developed, or strikes • rfl without warning, rub throat and chest at bedtime with Vicks K.W Vapoßub. Vapoßub acts two ways at once: (1) By stimulation lilpF through the skin, like a poultice HPippil or plaster; (2) By inhalation of 3 •'■’i * ts penetrating medicated vapors, 3 JH direct to inflamed air-passages. ™ - > Through the night, this combined vapor-poultice action loosens phlegm, soothes irritation, helps break congestion. These three steps form the basis of Vicks Plan for Better Control of Colds—a practical home guide to fewer and shorter colds.

G GONVIGTED IN STAVISKY CASE; WIFE ACQUITTED Pretty Widow of Suicide Banker, 10 Others Are Freed. By United Press PARIS, Jan. 17. The Stavisky banking scandal trial ended today with the acquittal of 11 defendants, including beautiful Mme. Arlette Simon Stavisky, widow of the fraudulent banker, Sacha Stavisky, and the conviction of nine others. Most of the convicted had been in prison, awaiting trial, a sufficient time to cover their sentences. A jury which had sat since Nov. 4 retired at 1:30 a, m. yesterday, to agree on answers to 1,956 specific questions regarding the guilt or innocence of the defendants. They reported at 9 a. m. today. They took a short cut in their answers, replying to many of them in blocks, so that it took only 45 minutes to read them. Then the judges retired to consider the sentences on the persona convicted. Thus ended the great trial, the

sequel to the $27,000,000 frauds of Stavisky, who, at the end of his career, after being the friend and benefactor of men high in public life, fled at the crash of his flimsy financial structure and died a suicide at Christmastide, 1933. The scandal was so great, and so angered the public, that it led to the riots of Feb. 6, 1934, in which a score of persons were killed and hundreds injured. Governments fell and it was necessary to form a coalition cabinet to appease public opinion. Injured Cranking Truck Eugene Hurt, 19, of 1750 E. 30thst, was injured today when he cranked a truck Jr. the rear of his home and, bcir.g in gear, the truck went forward and pinned him to the wall of the garage. He was taken to City Hospital with internal injuries.
