LAST OF SCHOOLS
North and South Henderson
To Get Going After
Long Suspension
The last of the city schools that
were closed due to the epidemic of
measles are to open next Monday for
the continuation of their regular class
room work. The schools involved are
North and South Henderson.
These schools opened last Monday
along with all the others in the city,
following a long suspension due to
measles, but loth had so many ab.
sences that they were forced to close
again 'Tor a week.
Latest information is that the mea
sles epidemic is abating, even in the
sections that patronize these two
schools, and it is believed now that
class room work can go on without
further interruption.
All schools in the city were due to
open on' January 2 following the holi
days. but were suspended for ten
days longer due to the epidemic. All
of them opened and continued operat
ing on and since last Monday except
these two.
When we think of science we do
not look to the past, hut to <he future.
With Flu Around
All Colds Now
More Dangerous
Colds Lower Body Resist
ance and Often Pave the
Way For Flu and Its
Serious Complications
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS URGED
With flue increasing in many sec
tions of the country, health authori
ties urge everyone to take extra pre
cautions against colds just now.
The safest course to follow is that
outlined in Vicks Plan for better Con
trol of Colds <fully explained in each
Vicks package). Briefly, the Plan is
this:
To Help l*revent Many Colds
Watch yourself and children care
fully for any sign of “catching cold.”
At that first nasal irritation, sniffle or
sneeze—use Vicks Va-tro-nol ... a
few drops up each nostril. The timely
use of Va-tro-nol helps to prevent
many colds, and to throw off other
colds in their early stages.
To Help End a Cold Sooner
If a cold has developed or strikes
without warning, vigorous measures
are necessary. At bedtime, massage
the throat and chest well with Vicks
Vapoßub. It acts two ways at once to
bring relief: By Stimulation through
the skin like a poultice or plaster;
and by Inhalation of its medicated
vapors direct to inflamed air-pas
sages. Through the night, this long
continued double action soothes the
membranes —loosens phlegm eases
the breathing—helps break congestion.
For Added Protection
Daily mouth and throat hygiene is
helpful at all times—and especially
during epidemics of colds or flu. As a
precautionary measure. have the
children —and grown-ups, too—rinse
the mouth and gargle. night and
morning with VICKS VORATONE
ANTISEPTIC. Voratone thoroughly
cleanses the oral cavity, and stimu
lates more healthful activity of the
membranes- —thus aiding in defense
against infection which enters through
the mouth.
