held by atate railway commissioners

tion act of 19.'0 virtually made the
atato commissions uelc.
Commissioner Taylor believes that
the federal commission ami the Hate
commission could work in absolute
harmony if congre.s would say the
word.
Conferi With Jeffeni.
Mr. Taylor, in his conference whit
Congressman JciTcris yesterday oyer
certain phase of the transpartation
aituation. aaid that atate railway
commissioner! were in a better posi
tion to judge of the fairness of
rate in their territory than a com
missioner that might be 1.500 or
even 3.1KK3 miles away from the tcr
ritory affected.
Mr. Taylor aaid that under pre,
nit law when the Interstate Com
merce commission issued a broailsuie
order, no matter how exacting o?
how inequitable, the state had no
power whatsoever to modify it. n
"You can raise rates m Nebraska,
said Mr. Taylor, -but the comims
tion has no power to lower them.
whiie i voted fv': .tra"sp(;:
tation act." said Mr. Jcfferis. I It
at the time we were clothing; the
Interstate Commerce commission
with a good deal orel?ower.t:,d
I really believe it should have and
at the same time permit the state
railway commissions to tunc : ion.
There should be harmony between
the federal commission and the state
commission, with power
one or the other to move quickly
when an emergency exists.
, Recalls Serious Situation.
We all recall the serious situa
tion that existed last spring when
the hay raisers in the Sixth district
were clamoring for a rate that would
permit them to move hay to Omaha
without being compelled to take a
loss. The same is true of rates on
coal, and I am told on sand and
buildinjr material generally.
"I would like to see the law amend
ed to give our farmers, our stock
growers and our manufacturers a
square deal when it conies to the
making of freight rates.'
W. B. Tagg and C,:M. Peterson
of Omaha joined A. F. Stryker, sec
retary of the Omaha Livestock ex

conferences with officials of the Ag
ricultural department, relative to en
forcement of laws affecting live
stock and their snipmeni. v. u.
Tagg, president of the Omaha Live
stock exchange, said that conditions
had so changed for the better in
Nebraska in the last three weeks
that it would be liard to recognize
the people as being the' same.
; On Upgrade.
' Frowns had given way to smiles,
he said. Bankers made loans with
happy faces instead of sour looks
and he said he believed the War
Finance committee would go out ol
business in the next 30 days on ac
count of a lack of applications for
temporary relief. t '
,We are on the upgrade," said
Mr. Tagg. "The farmer is happy,
the stock grower is beaming over
present prices and canting criticism

Is this the Third
Influenza Wave?
Is tbe type of hery cold bow prmknt t tnM
influents.? Doctors diss ire.
It will be remembered that after the terrible
epidemics of 1918 and 1919, It via predicted
that "wires" of influenza would recur, nutter
each time, until humanity should bare acquired
immunity against the disease.
Science has not yet found the germ, nor medl
dne the cure. But we hare learned better hew
to aroid Influenza, grip and pneumonia
The rame of Vlcks as an aid in prerentiaf
these diseases is explained below.
Avoid Influenza GripPneumonia
Apply Vicks to help avoid infection.
Use Vicks at the first sign of an oncoming jcold.
MOST medical authorities now
agree that Colds, Grip, Influenza,
and Pneumonia are all germ diseases
most commonly spread by breathing
in the germs. If the system is in good
shape the membrane of the air pass
ages in a healthy condition these
germs do not breed.
In fact the germs of all of these dis
eases are frequently found in perfectly
healthy persons. It is only when the
bodily resistance is lowered as by a
cold for instance that they are able
to harm us. v
Aroid Sneezers and Coaghert
It is best to keep away from the sneezers and
coughers in the street cars and public places, or
if you must meet them, insert some Vicks in the
nostrils before you start out. On retuminc
borne, melt a little Vicks in a tin cup or a spoon
and inhale tbe vapors.
Opposed to Bacteria
The ingredients of Vicks are not only anti
septic, but rubefacient that if, they summon
the blood to the tissues where applied and this
free blood circulation is nature's best method of
repelling germ infection. Also Vicks' spreads a
protective film over the membrane and further
more is opposed to the growth of bacteria. Ia
short, we believe you have a much better chance
to avoid infection by these numerous terms if
you have Vicks in your nose.
Attack a Cold Immediately
When you feel a cold coming on, go right
home. Take a laxative. Make some hot lem
onade, then take a hot bath as hot as you can
stand. Stay in the tub 30 minutes, sipping
slowly several glasses of tbe lemonade. Get,into
bed, with a hot water bottle at your feet, and pile
oa blanket. After an hour's sweat, dry thor
oughly with a rough towel, apply Vicks over
throat and chest, rub is well until the skin is
red, and then spread on thickly and cover with
one or two thicknesses of hot flannel cloth. Get
into bed again between dry sheets. Leave the
beddothing loose about the neck, like a funnel,
so that the rising vapors may be freely inhaled.
It is an obstinate cold, indeed, that willrresist
such treatment. If it does, call a physician. -
Acts Two Ways At Once
Vicks is of benefit in cold troubles in two
ways. 1st It is absorbed thru and stimulates
the sldn, thus helping to relieve the soreness,
loosen the phlegm and make the breathing less
difficult. 2nd At the same time the ingredients,
released as vapors by the body heat, are taken
with each .breath directly into tbe congested,
inflamed air passages.
A Vapor Lamp in Salve Form
Vkks is the discovery of Mr. L. Richardson,
a North Carolina druggist. He realized that
cold troubles were affections of the respiratory
organs and that the only way to get medication
direct to these parts was in the form of vapors.
Mr. Richardson finally worked out tbe process
for iHng Vicks, so made that the body beat
releases the volatile ingredients in the form at
vapors. Vicks really is "a vapor lamp ia aara
form." , . .
The Ingredients of Vicka
Since, the dawn of history mankind has beea
searching nature for remedies against cold
troubles. The knowledge gained thru a thousand
years has come down to us today. Vicks coo-'
tains the best known remedies for these troubles, '
some of them of great antiquity. .Menthol, for
instance, comes from Oil of Peppermint which
was grown in Egypt three thousand years ago
and whose virtues are described in the old Ice
landic books of tbe 13th century. .
The highest authority on drugs and their uses
is the U. S. Dispensatory. We give below a few
extracts from the Dispensatory on some of the
ingredients in Vicks. .
MENTHOL "It is tetiiely miiMdrrud.
It is employed for Us miisepiit and mmstketk
infltmu in coryia, pharynitlis end iMTyntiUs."
