Watch Barometer,
Business Men Are
Advised by Scott
BOSTON. Dec. 19.—Buamea*
men should conduct their affairs
on the advice of the barometer, >
according to Dr Colin R. Scott. <
professor of psychology in ths
Boston Normal School.
“When the barometer is high/'
says Dr. Scott, “pulses are high
and there is activity everywhere.
In April, May, June and July,
when the pressure is low, there
are more violent crimes, house
breakings and murders. Also there
are more suicides Thi* it because
of the depression caused by the
low pressure.”
Dr Scott's theory is that mer
chants should take advantage of
the activity of the people to make
the'r best offerings.

For Horse Too Much
Dinner to Adamson
‘Most Remarkable/
Says W, H, Hillyer

i dred of her most prominent citizens,
representing every political faith and
;i!l classes of business and profes-
' sional life, volunteered to act as hosts
on the occasion, in honor of th»* man
whose brilliant and unselfish efforts
had resulted In the triumph of the
i Fusion ticket at the recent election.
| "The speeches were in excellent
I taste and reflected the high opinion
in which Mr. Adamson Is held. Geor-
! gia should be proud of Robert Adam
son now' that he has become, in the
i language of one of the speakers. ‘Fa- j
I ther Knickerbocker’s fair-haired i
| boy.’"

CAREFULLY TREAT
CHILDREN’S COLDS
Neglect of children's colds often
lays the foundation of serious lung
trouble in later life On the other
hand, it is harmful to continually
dose delicate little stomachs with in
ternal medicines or to keep the chil
dren always Indoors. The Ideal wa>
to avoid colds is to keep plenty of
fresh air in the bedroom and at the
first sign of trouble apply Vick's
"Vap-O-Rub" Croup and Pneumonia
Salve over the throat and chest, cov
ering with a warm flannel cloth.
The body heat releases antiseptic
vapors that are Inhaled all night
long, opening the air passages and
healing the inflamed membrane. In
addition Vick’s is absorbed through
the skin, taking out the soreness
and tight*ess. Vick's contains no
harmful drugs whatever. At drug
gists’—25c, 50c and $1.00
