Art Museum Finds Wau
To Help Win War
That a public museum can be some
thing more than an interesting store
house is proved by the recent report
of the Toledo Art Museum furnished
by Mrs. George W. Stevens, assistant
director.
Since war was declared this par
ticular museum nas Deen the center
of live community interests. It gave
one ot the buildings on its grounds
for patriotic and Red Cross work, and
day and evening classes of instruc
tion are held there. The auditorium
of the museum itself is free for all
patriotic meetings and lectures.
Mrs. Stevens, who is also chairman
of the City War Garden commission,
reports:
"In the interests of conservation, a
war garden show was held at the
museum last summer to exhibit the
works of Toledo war eardens. in
which it was estimated $285,000' worth
of property was raised. The aid of 15,-
U00 children has been enlisted through
the Museum Bird club, in caring for
the birds and helping to conserve
crops and orchards as a war measure.
"The museum has purchased
through its president, Edward D. Lib
bey, the Doucet collection of historical
dolls for $30,000, which sum goes to
the French and Belgian permanent
blind fund. Incidentally, about 20,000
children visit the museum weekly and

and Belgian orphans.

Rub Youngsters' Colds Away
With "Outside" Vapor Treatment

North Carolina Druggist That Relieves Croup and
Cold Troubles by External Application.

relief when she first tries the North
Carolina treatment, Tick's VapoRub,
nd finds that it is no longer neces
sary to "dose" the children with nau
seous medicines for croup or cold j ally relieved within fifteen minutes
and lungs. At the same time VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates
the skin taking out that tightness and
soreness in the chest.
VapoRub has a hundred uses in the

fever, asthma or catarrhal troubles
VapoRub can either be applied up the
nostrils or a little melted in a spoon
and the vapors inhaled. Croup is usu-

sach breath, all night long, carry the
medication direct to the air passages
and an application at bedtime pre
vents a nignt attack.

Red Cross Supplies
Officer Praises Work
Of Local Society
Floyd H. Fuller, assistant director
of the bureau of supplies for the cen
tral division, is in Omaha today on an
Inspection trip.
"There sre a number of details of
organization here in Omaha which I
believe are an improvement on the
way things are done in Chicago," Mr.
Fuller said.
He reported that the present short
age of material is due to the govern
ment having commandeered the sup
plies, but would likely be relieved
after a short while and that then the
quota would be larger and the longer
working hours will then be resumed.
Work on sweaters for next winter is
one of the instructions given out by
Mr. Fuller. It is estimated that by
next winter 1,000,000 sweaters will be
worn out and new ones must be made
to replace them as well as to clothe
the new soldiers.
"No business in the world has ever
undergone such rapid expansion as
has the Red Cross, Mr. Fuller explain
ed. "In November, the value of the
supplies was estimated at $1,600,000
while in March it was valued at $12,
000,000. We had to contend with the
problems of factories scattered in
every town in the country, educating
workers, securing supplies. It is a
tribute to the men and women who
are part of the work that no single
article has ever been absolutely re
jected." -
One of the most enthusiastic women
war workers in England is Lady
Drogheda, one of whose latest ex
ploits was to fly over London and
drop war b6nd pamphlets.
