EXTERNALLY
NfT \A^hen Vicks
VapoRub was introduced,
mothers especially were quick to
appreciate it, because it is just
rubbed on and cannot upset chil
dren's delicate stomachs, as
“dosing” is so apt to do. Of course
it is equally good for adults.
Today, the whole trend of
medical practice is away from
needless “dosing,” and the
demand for Vicks has grown
until it is neces
sary to again
raise the figures
in the famous
slogan. There
are now “Over
2 9 Million
Jars Used
Yearly.”

■INTERESTING PROGRAM.
‘ The Uth grade presented a very
interesting program in chapel
Thursday morning. The first
number was Jokes by Sara Price.
Then a play entitled “The Grad
uate” was next presented. The
Graduate was trying to find the
magical formula to help him find
Miss Diploma. Miss Latin and
Miss Algebra came forth to show
him the way to find the formula.
School Romance tried to keep him
from seeking Miss Diploma but he
did not heed.
In the end he found Miss Dip
loma and departed.
