It avoids the risks of con stant "dosing," so often upsetting to children’s delicate digestions. Just rubbed on throat and chest at bedtime, VapoRub acts two way at once: 1. Ey stimulation through the skin, like a poultice or plaster— 2. By inhalation of its penetrating medicated vapors, released by body heat and breathed in direct ■ ’ to inflamed air-passages. Continuing through the night, this combired vapor-poultice action loosens phlegm — soothes irritated membranes—e?ses difficult breath ing - helps break congestion. * A Practical Guide for Mother* Each year, more and more fami lies are being helped to fewer colds i by Vicks and shorter colds cs Plan for by Vi Better Control of Colds.

Tne association’s program for the /ear 1936 is mainly directed to- vards the securing for the cross country roads of the various coun ties of the state a total of one-third 3f the present gasoline tax as col- ccted in the state of South Caro- .ina. The committee endeavored to as jure the representatives of the gen eral assembly attending the meet ing that road ccmmittee was in io sense a group of lobbyists work- ng against any present commis- jion, but that it tfas working in an effort to lower the levies in the various counties by giving them this increased amount of gasoline .ax. It was the committee’s under standing that the present five ce: allotted to the highway department of the state was allotted to the highway department contingent upon the issuance of $65,000,000 in bonds with which to complete a state highway system throughout the state, and inasmuch as this program has never been completed and the maximum amount of bonds has not anywhere near been sold, the association’s members said they felt that they would in no wise jeopardize the credit or cripple the South Carolina highway de partment’s finances by taking away from it this additional one cent. “The passage of this legislation would enable the various county delegations to practically eliminate any direct levy on real property for the maintenance of cross country reads in their respective counties,” it was said. The committee is composed of the following county supervisors: Dan iel M. Zimmerman, Saluda county, president; J/Ed Means, Greenville, vice president; H. H. Ruff, New berry, vice president; Fletcher Senn, Calhoun county; E. Louden Brooks, Greenwood county; A. Rhett Martin, Laurens county; G. H. McCain, McCormick county; T. R. OTOeall, Pickens county; H.

The board will con- ist of H. H. Carlisle, chairman, Dr. R. C. Grier, of Due West, Joe P. Anderson, of Antreville, Mrs. T. G. White, of Abbeville, Mrs. D. 3. Mahon, of Calhoun Falls, and Mrs. R. L. Barmore of Donalds. The abolishment of the County Alms House will be tried as a method ol taking care cf the unfortunate people of the county and they will be placed in homes over the county. Senator Moore Mars announces hat this will be tried for a while and if successful will be continued with funds secured from the State and Federal government. The rnl- aries paid to the Alms House will je of material help in the scheme of financing the enterprise and it is thought, according to Senator Mars, that it will not be expensive. x Economist Arid Mjilk Specialist Examinations “These comparisons indicate that a high egg production during the fall months mean a high labor in come. It is known that early hatch ed millets are the heaviest pro ducers of fall eggs. The hatching .iate on the average will have more influence on the fall egg produc tion than any other factor. Other factors, such as housing, breeding, feeding, and management, enter in, but hatching date is probably the most influential. “Another thing in favor of early hatched pullets is that they usu- Mlv grow off faster and the cock erels can be disposed of as broilers a higher orice. which boosts the income for the flock and the labor ncome per hen. “Hens that molt late are heavy producers of fall eggs. The late molters in the flock will depend m part on the breeding and deed and care that they get during the summer and fall. Hens that are properly housed, fed, and kept free d narasites will lay much longer than hens not so treated.” We wish to express to our friends and relatives, also doctors and nurses, our sincere appreciation for the many acts of kindness shown me during my recent illness.
