f million men were lost in the battlefbdd. but this was compensated by tho return of resorvi.-ts and tho arrest for three years of the stream of emigration. Italy has a population today exceeding tho total civilized population of South America and I.s probably richer in manpower than any like portion of the surface of the earth. This caper abundant labt.- in many instances is touched with a penius for artistic creation and ((institutes one of Italy's most valuable assets."

ny ixns ia:di.ov. WASHINGTON', Feb. 29 Surprise was expressed today Ty Wayne P. Wheeler, pcn-ral counsel of the Anti-Saloon It iKiie and spokesman for that organization, over the larpre number of fake reports that are in circulation in repard to the future plans of tho "drys."

Mr. Wheeler issued a statement today exposing a lot of thosp fakes. "It would bo anuislnc:," he said, "if it were not so serious in its results to notice the positive misinformation that is jroins to the public conc-rninir the national prohibition act. 'Tor instance, wo are quotod as claiming that the lsth amendment authorizes the prohibition of sacramental wine. The fact is that FUCll uso of wine is specifically permitted

In the Volstead act. The temperance forces have always opposed its prohibition and the supreme court of one state has held such a prohibition unconstitutional. 1'aI.M Cost Impression. "Another false impression is the cost of enforcement. The original appropriation was $2.100,000. The Additional .appropriation is $1,000.000. Whatever sura is needed, however, should bo appropriated bocause no nation can afford to surrender to lawlessness. The cost of the law enforcement department is not a loss. These departments in the states collect merlin tines than they cost. The prohibition tax section of the Volstead act will return to the government more money than the total cost of the department, if it 1 enforced. Tho cot of enforcement will bo paid by tho law-breakers. Thej' can escape it by becoming law-abidimr citizens. ComvniiiiK Medicinal Io. "Another false alarm relates to the medicinal use of liquor. Instead of prohibiting it as some states havo done tho Volstead act provides for it and the regulations of the department authorize physicians to have a reasonable amount on hand for emergency cases. "The report that tho Anti-Saloon league requested liquor permits to be issued to hotels for culinary purposes is false. We have opposed it and the few permits issued show the permit is abused and tho liquor is often used for beveraRo purposes. "The last fake statement Is that tho dry forces will try to prevent foreign ships from landing at our docks. Xo ono advocates this that I know of. We will try to make they obey tho prohibition law and prevent if possible discrimination against American ships that obey the law of the nation."

So far as paper can effect it, thej Dardanelles have been international- '

Ized.

COLDS arc simply inflammation or congestion of the mucous membrane, or lining of the respiratory organs air passages and lungs. They should be treated just as surface inflammations, such as burns or bruises, are treated that is, the medication should be applied directly to the inflamed parts. But medication cannot be applied directly to the air passages and lungs except in the form of vapors that can be inhaled, and until the discovery of Vick's VapoRub, there was no cfficicnti economical method of supplying these vapors.

TICK'S VapoRub is the discover' of a North V Carolina druggist, L. Ricliardson, who found a way to combine the standard, time-tested remedies Menthol, Camphor, Turpentine, Eucalyptus, Thyme, Juniper, etc . in salve form, so that when Vicks is applied to the body, these ingredients arc vaporized by the body heat. These vapors, inhaled vnth each breath all night long, carry the medication direct to the affected parts. At the same time.Vicks is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the congestion.

Spasmodic Croup und Children's Colds Vicks is particularly recommended to mothers with small children. It is externally applied and, therefore, can be used often and freely with-perfect safety. Let the children run out-doors, even in Winter, and get their needed fresh air and exercise, and simply apply a little Vicks over the throat and chest at the first sign of a cold, covering with a hot flannel cloth. For spasmodic croup, rub Vicks freely over the throat cud chest until the difficult breathing is relieved. One application is commonly sufficient, and an application at bed time usually prevents a night attack.

Head Colds, Asthma, Catarrh, Hay Fever For these troubles, Vicks can be melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled, or a little applied up the nostrils and snuffed back into the air passages. Thexe is no "cure" for Asthma and Hay Fever Vicks gives temporary relief in some cases.

Used us a Uniment, Salve, Poultice e? flirts In addition to its vaporizing qualities, Vicks has abo been found to be an excellent anti-inilamrnatory application. It makes a cooling, soothing dressing for such troubles as Bites, Burns, Bruises, Cuts, Frost Bite, Headache, Itchings, Poison Oak, Sorcae, Sprains, Suabarn, etc

Your Bodyguard Against - Colds

Deep Cbett Coldi, Sore Throat, Bronchih, Coughs For inflammation of the respiratory organs where there is tightness or soreness, Vicks should be rubbed well over the throat and chest until the skin is red; then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. The bed clothing shold'be arranged in the form of a funnd, so that the vapors.arising may be freely inhaled. In severe cases, hot, wet cloths should first be applied over the throat and chest to open the pores of the skin before applying Vicks. If the cough is annoying, small portions of Vicka, the size of a pea, can be swallowed every few hours,
