To Prevent Flu and Colds
Three Rules You
(1) . Sleep 8 hours With windows wide open
(2) Eat wisely -exercise regularly don't worry
(3) j Avoid crowds and persons having colds
Flu this Year is Milder
The rules , given above, recom-
mended by the New York City
Board of Health, are guildes to '
good health at all times. Particu
larly should they be followed just
now, when influenza is again abroad
in the land. Authorities agree,
however, that the flu this year is '
less severe tiian in the last epi
demic tlhe attacks are shorter and
the dea-tih rate lower. In fact,
many physicians insist that the
epidemics now being reported
from so many section's are not flu
ait all, but simply the old-fashioned
grip.
Keep 'he Air Passages Healthy.
V3iile we know very little more
about the flu now than we did last
year tie germ itself has never
been positively identified still most
authorities agree that tue flu germs
are breathed in. If the system is
in good shape and the membrane
or lining of the air passages is in
iiealUhy condition these germs are
thrown off.
A good plan is to melt a little
Vick's VapoRub in a spoon, night
and morning, and inhale the va
pors, also apply a little up the nos
trils several times a day, especially
just before being exposed to crowds.
Treat All Colds Promptly
Ab,ove all, keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining of the air
passages and make them read
breeding grounds for germs.
Prompt use of Vick's VapoRub
aids in preventing colds. For head
colds, sore throat or hoarseness,
rub Vicks well over the throat and
chest and cover with a warm flan
nel cloth.- For deep' chest colds,
severe sore throat or bronchitis,
hot wet towels should first be ap
plied to the. throat, chest and back
$4.20 per .barrel. This would indicate
that the price of flour has jumped
about 400 per cent, in the last 25 years.
Waterbury. Rev. Gerald Driscoll of
eland, who was recently ordained "at
All Hallows', Dublin, and who has been
assigned to foreign missionary work
in the diocese of Sacramento, Cal., is
visiting at the home of his uncle,
William J. Driscoll, of South View
street.
New Britain. John E. Dunday of
West Main street has been connected
with the Stanley works for 50 rears,
having entered the factory employ on
Feb. 7. 1870. He is foreman of the
No. 3 butt department- He is the third
oldest man at the Stanley works in
point of service.
New Britain. Plans are bein?: per
fected by Kosciusko post. World War

for a new building to be erected in the
northwestern section of the citv. and
it is intended to have the building a
community center as well as a club
house and recreation place for the ex

Bristol. So great are the drifts of
snow in the Fall Mountain section
that at the Lewis Johnson farm it is
necessary for the family to crawl

for the snow to be melted at the farm

be rubbed in over the parts until
the skin is red spread on thickly
and covered with two thicknesses
of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck, so
the vapors released by the , body

These vapors, inhaled with each

Vick's VapoRub is the discovery
of s. North Cardiina druggist who
found how to combine in salve form
the standard time-tested remedies,
Campihor Menthol Eucalyptus
Thyme, etc. o that when the salve
is applied to the body heat these
" ingredients are liberated . in the
torm of vapors.
Vicks is particularly recommend
ed for children's croup or colds,
since it is externally applied and
therefore can be used freely and
, often without the slightest harm
ful effects. '
The best evidence of the value of
Vicks is the steadily increasing
number of people who have been
converted to the use of this "out
s:de" treatment.
Beginning with the customers of
a small retail drug store, the use
of Vicks has grown year by yeai"
state by state until now more than
17 million jars are used annually.
And this in spite of . tha fact that
Vicks is a new form of treatment
to many folks in the North and
West. Vicks can be had at all
druggists in three sizes-30c, soc,
or $1.20.
and for household purposes. This is
a condition that has not been heard of
