An increase of 25 per cent in burglary insurance rates which has just been put into effect has brought to light the fact that employers, made timid by the shortage of domestic workers, are tolerating thefts from their ward robes and wine cellars in order to retain the few servants they have "in captivity." Officials of indemnity companies, who give this explana tion, declare that in many cases em ployers have refused to allow the servants in their households to be questioned about thefts, through fear that they will quit if annoyed. Emboldened by-this situation, dis honest servants are reported to be helping themselves to their employ ers' effects, such as wine, clothing and jewelry. . " "Servants are privileged charac ters in the homes of the wealthy throughout New York," said the head of one surety company. "In many cases holders of burglary in surance have canceled their claims against the company rather than to prosecute a guilty servant, knowing that this would mean the loss of nis or her services." Maid Entertains Friends. One New York lawyer recently refused to allow his servants to be questioned regarding a $1,000 theft, saying: "Don't go near the house. If the maids suspect you they will leave." . One investigator reported a case in which a young servant girl had, in two weeks, disposed of eight cases of champagne and eight cases of whisky by holding wine parties in the kitchen for her friends and en tertaining them with choice liquors from her employer's private stock.

" ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT The After Effects of Pneumonia This is No. 2 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a com petent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often' leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state,' thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs And how Vick's Vapo- Rub may be of value ia, this condition. Pneumonia attacks the air cells t the lungs. An inflammation is set up and matter is thrown off which causes the air cells to solidify, thus preventing the natural flow of blood thru the lungs. This "backing up" of the blood causes the heart to pump harder, just -as stepping on a hose increases the water pres sure, which is the reason why, during this disease, the physician watches the overburdened heart so carefully. After recovery the lungs are filled with a mass of wreckage the debris of the battle which must be gotten rid of by a process known as resolution . Frequently , inflamed spots remain,.congestion persists, cough hangs on, and the least exposure brings pn a cold that is hard to get rid of. ; If neglected, such damaged air pas usages may easily develop serious disease of the lungs. . Such cases should always con tinue tinder a physician's care and frequent examinations should be made t see that nature is uvapoRub properly continuing the iebuild ing process. Nightly applications of Vick's VapoRub will aid nature in this work.- Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, at tract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough. In addition, the medici nal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth ing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying, swallow a small bit of Vicks the size of a pea. Samples to new users will be sent free on request to the Vick Chemical Company, 232 Broad Street, Greensboro, N. C.
