Goodfellows Club
The Chronicle's Goodfellows List is
growing but has not met with the
ready response that this paper would
have desired. The need is far greater
this year than in many years past,
and unless this fund is made into con- i
siderable amount there will not be
much to go around. We are pleased
to receive contributions from several ,
out-of-town former residents of this
place, who withhold their names, and
.everal of whom have written nice
letters and hoping for the fund to
grow. This shows that these people
are still mighty loyal to their hometown

Lives were Lost in this Country
Alone.
Don't Take Chances With Colds
While there is no cause for alarm
at this time, health authorities urge
extra precaution ? especially now,
when gnppy colds, pneumonia and influenza
are at their height.
Colds Lead to "Flu"
Warning is given particularly
against neglecting colds, which lower
one's physical resistance and thus
make the body easy prey for influenza,
grip and pneumonia. Even a
little cold, authorities say, is dangerous
unless checked at once.
The only safe plan is to check
every cold at the start by a vigorous
application of Vicks VapoRub, rubbed
on throat and chest at bedtime,
Acts 2 Ways at Once
For hours after Vicks is applied,
its ingredients, time-tested remedies,
such as camphor, menthol, eucalyptus,
thyme, and turpentine, are released
as vapors by the body-heat,
and inhaled <ftrect to the infected airpassages,.
loosening the phlegm and
easing the difficult breathing. At the
same time, Vicks acts through the
skin like a poultice, "drawing out"
all tightness and pain.
Avoids "Dosing" Children
Mothers especially appreciate Vicks
for the frequent colds of children, as
it can be used freely and often, without
disturbing the digestion?you
"just rub it on." Over 21 million
jars are used yearly.
