If your children keep

three simple ways.
For relieving discomforts of "chest colds and night coughs, rub
VapoRub on throat, chest and
back at bedtime. VapoRub’s poul-
tice-yapor action relieves local
congestion—eases muscular sore
ness or tightness—helps the
youngster relax into restful sleep.
if For coughing and irritated "throat caused by colds, put
VapoRub on the child’s tongue.
It melts, trickles slowly down
bathes the throat with soothing
medication. Then massage
VapoRub on-throat and chest.
For "sniffles” and misery of
"head colds, melt a spoonful of
VapoRub in a bowl of boiling
water. Have the child breathe in
the steaming vapors. This loosens
phlegm, cleats air-passages,
makes breathing easier. Also mas
sage VapoRub on throat and
chest. Millions of families use
these three time-tested ways to
relieve the mis
ery of colds.

-could pay

I suggest that from now until early
in June, every driver and every pe
destrian in Ontario give constant and
conscious attention to the demands
of highway safety. If every one of us
makes a strong and determined
.fort, we cannot fail; but all of
must help."
No other public demonstration,
believed, would show more esteem
for the royal visitors, and no other
tribute would be more appreciated by
the King and Queen than a large re
duction in the number of traffic
accidents,
The occasion of Their Majesties'
tour, Mr, , McQuesten explained,
would result in tremendous traffic
congestion in all areas throughout
Ontario which the royal party was
scheduled to visit.
“It would be deplorable,” he con
tinued, “if this congestion should
bring about an increased traffic toll.
Such a result would leave the King
and Queen with a sorrowful rather
than happy memory of their visit to
Ontario.”
