The basis of the agreement, advices state, is as follows: Formation of a workmen's army charged with maintaining order. Remodelling of the cabinet unions participating.

Buderich, Rhenish Prussia, March 25 (By The IAssociated Press.)— Complete quiet prevails temporarily at Wesel, the German stronghold be- sieged by revolutionary workers, but peace between the two forces has not been declared. The correspondent was informed to this effect at 9 o'clock this morning over the telc- phone by the headquarters of General Habitsch, the commander at Wesel, across the Rhine from this town. It was declared at headquarters | there could be no question of a ces- sation of hostilities through the sur- render of the Reichswehr forces. Fighting Resumed. —Fighting in the Ruhr district of Germany where it was understood a truce had been agreed to has been resumed, accord- ing to the Telegraaf. Spartacist forces are nearing Wesel, the new: paper says, and a Muenster dispatch to the Rotterdam Courant says the Red army’s strength now is 120,000, Some reports from the frontier in- dicate that the workmen are bom- barding Wesel with large guns. The advices are conflicting, however, other reports declaring the situation is quiet.

Belgians Voice Protest. According to the Handelsblad. the Red troops in the vicinity of Wesel shelled Fort Bluecher, which is oc- cupied by Belgian troops.

Gifi from Southern Mothers Have Found a Way to Treat Children’s Croup and Coldsi Without Internal Dosing ALL mothers everywhere know that chil- dren’s stomachs are delicate and their di- g ~tions easily disturbed, and therefore they should be given as little internal dosing as possible. Yet croup and colds come often and l VapoRub. Insist on the Genuine At All Druggists 30c—60c—$1.20 certainly cannot be neglected. A North Carolina Druggist Solves the Problem Thanks to Lunsford Richardson, a druggist in Greensboro, N. C., this problem has been solved, and Southern mothers have been given a method of treating cold troubles externally. Richardson discovered a salve that would vaporize by the body heat when applied over throat and chest. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, car- ried the medication sages to the lungs, af the same time the salve was absorbed the skin, attracting the blood to the sur- face and thus aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the trouble. tion Mr. Richardson called Vick’s Mr. ugh the air pas- and stimulated This prepara- Vicks contains no harmful drugs, just the old-fashioned, time-tested remedies—Menthol, Camphor, Thymol, Eucalyptus, Turpentine, etc. — com- bined in a new-fashioned way. The Use of Vicks Has Steadily Increased Starting with the customers of Mr. Richardson’sretail drug store, the sale of this external treatment has grown, coun- ty by county, state by state, until now Vicks can be found in almost any drug store in all sections of the United States. Mothers who once use Vicks always keep a bottle on hand thereafter. Itis so easily applied, so quick in its effects, and, best of all, can be used as often and as freely as desired; without fear of harmful results. Now Over 17 Million Jars Are Used Yearly The best evidence of the value of Vicks is the increasing number of fami- lies who, each year, are converted to the use of this guard in the Home.” ‘The number of jars used annually for the last few years is: / 1910 1911. 1912 e 1913. 1914. 1915. . 1916. 1917. 1918. VISHRS i, 157 TG PR 774/77 Xd “;\\\\\\\ ——y DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF VICKS large part of the value of Vicks lics in its v iz ities. So whenever Vicks is applied over the throat and chest, care should be taken to leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel, so that the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. Hot Wet Cloths—In cases of deep chest colds, severe sore throat orincipient pneu- monia, hot, wet towels should be used over the throat and chest to open the pores of the skin before applying Vicks. For Head Colds, ‘Asthma, Catarrh, Hay Fever—Vicks can be melted in a spoocn and the vapors inhaled, or a little should be applied up the nostrils and snuffed up the head. For Spasmodic Croup, Children’s Colds— Rub Vicks over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing is relieved, then spread on thickly and cover with a hot flannel cloth. An application at bed time usually prevents a night attack of croup. Vicks is particularly recommended for children’s colds since it is externally applied, and can, therefore, be used often and freely without disturbing the young- ters’ delicate digestions. For Deep Chest Colds, Sore Throat, Tonsilitis, Bronchitis, Coughs—or any affection of the respiratory organs where there is tightness or soreness, Vicks should be applied over the throat and chest— if necessary, first using hot wet cloths — and rubbed in well until the skin is red; then spread on thickly and covered with one or two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. If the cough is ing, a small piece the size of a pea can be swallowed every few hours.
