Fear of Losing Servants Pre
vents New York Victims of
Robbery From Prose
cuting. New York, April 11. 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.
Although the owner knew he could
not replace the missing beverages,
he refused to, prosecute. . ;

They say that 47 members voted
to strike at a meeting held last Fri

the members voted for a walkout is
the only thing that averted such a

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

boarding school type. Scenery and
costumes are lavish. "My Holi
days," one of the numbers, is a cos
tume pageant. Josie Nevins and

tunity to display dancing ability.

praise that was bestowed on it yes
terday by two audiences.-

skill, was welcomed back enthus
iastically. Harry Cooper, once a
member of the famous Empire City
quartet, appears in a "songologue."

piano and xylophone. Topics of
the Day and Kinograms are offered

Prof; Finks' mules', dogs and
monkeys are the big features of the
bill at the Empress. This animal
circus is a remarkable mixture of
talent and disposition, and affords
a wonderful variety of entertain
ment. The performers have all
been well-trained and will be much
enjoyed by the patrons. Tom Ma
honey, the "Irish Chairman," is back
with his monolgues, in which he
wittily and harmoniously discusses
a good many phases of life. Earl
