HE ARRUGNS-HOKE SMITH AND
DEFENDS THE WILSON ADMIN-
I STRATI*.)N.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Gainesville, Ga., April 6.—Opening
his campaign to obtain the support of
Georgia's delegation to the democratic
national convention, Attorney General
Palmer in an address here today at-
tacked the-candidacy of Senator Hoke
Smith for the democratic presidential
nomination, assailed the record of the
republican majority In congress and
upheld the position of President Wil-
son in the treaty controversy. „
The attorney general at the outset
of his addresa said he had entered
the Georgia primary because "cer-
tain enemies of the administration
proposed to enter a candidate" with
the Intention "only to secure a dele-
gatio nto the San Francisco conven-
tion which might be controlled by the
critics of the administration."
"The change In the plans of the
opponents of the administration which
has resulted in the entering of the
name of a distinguished citizen of
Georgia as a candidate does not ma-
terially alter the situation nor change
my duty with respect to It," the at-
torney general said. "As I read the
platform of Hoke Smith he Is not
a real candidate for president. His
candidacy is Intended only to embar-
rass the president and "the party
which he leads."
Contrasting the record of the repub-
lican majority in congress with the
achievements of the democratic ad-
ministration, Mr. Palmer said:
"The republican house of represen-
tatives for twelve months has con-
tended itself with investigating our
victory in the war. The republican
senate for twelve months has fought
to deprive us of the fruits of our vic-
tory."
Asserting that he stood on a com-
mon ground with President Wilson as
regards the treaty, the attorney gen-
eral declared he was one of those who
would have the treaty ratified without
destructive reservations.
"I cannot go along with those whd
would destroy the treaty by supporting
reservations which Its open and
avowed enemies approve," he added.
"I would not object to substantial
reservations If friendly and really da-
signed to save the treaty and the
covenant." v

The Cold That
Hangs On
This is No. 5 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a
competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which
attack the air passages—such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whoop-
ing 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 in this condition.
V-
A cold is simply an inflamma-
tion of some part of the air pas-
sages—throat, larynx or bronchial
tubes—just like a sore is an in-
flammation of the skin. A long
continued cold means constant
inflammation and this constant
inflammation frequently weakens
the air passages so that they
become an easy point of attack
for invading germs of more serious
diseases. A "cold that hangs on,"
therefore, is simply nature's "red
flag" indicating that there is
"trouble below," and thi$ warning
should never be neglccted.
Nightly applications of Viek's
VapoRub will aid nature to clear
up that inflammation. Because
Vieks acts locally by stimulation
thru the skin to draw out the
inflammation, attract the blood
away from the congested spots
and relieve the cough. In addi-
tion, the medicinal ingredients
of Vicks are vaporized by th^
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 fonn
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.

sent free on request to The Vick
