again debating the riddle of the Star of Bethlehem.

Study of a new star that appeared a year ago-shortly before last Christmas-is lead- ing

to the theory among astronomers that the brilliant orb in the skies that the Magi followed on the eve of the first Christmas might well have been also a nova, or new star, just [created, similar to that discover-

ed last December.

That, too, appeared suddenly in the skies and rapidly grew and grew until in a few weeks it was a hundred times as bright as when It was frat noticed.

"ONDON is a bright, cheerful, salubrious Hell certainly, but still to my mind Hell," said Mr. Max Beerbohm, the Famous caricaturist and author, in a B.B.C. broadcast talk during one of his visits from Italy.

He spoke in a "London Revisited" Berics and conceded "that in some ways it is a better place thar it was Hin my day and In. days before Įmine."

"London," he complained in his broadcast, "has been cosmopoli- tunised, democratisod, conier- cfallaed, mechanised, standardised, vulgarised so extensively that one's pride in showing it to a foreigner is changed to a whole- some humility."

He nun criticised our "appall ingly bleak yet garish tene- menis." which he described as "monstrosities" which looked Ilke "improper workhouses."''

"When one thinks," he said, "of the significant houses, the old habitable homes, that were de molished to make way for them. then one's heart sickens and one's tongue curses the age into which one has survived."

Watch your children carefully after they have been exposed to conditions apt to cause a cold. Then, at the first snillie or sacere, do this: put a few drops of Vicks Va-tro-nol up cach nostril. This remarkable liquid aids and gently stimulates Nature to throw off the threatening cold before it can get beyond the nose and upper throat-where most colds start. Used in time, Va-tro-nol prevents many colds entirely. Va-tro-nol also brings remark- able relief for bead-colds and nasal catarrh.

Sometimes, of course, a cold strikes without warning or slips by even the best defences. Then, at bedtime, rub the little throat and chest with Vicks VapoRub. All night long. this pleasant ointment brings relief in two direct ways at once. It penetrates – direct through the skin-"drawing out" the tightness and pain. At the same time, it vaporises and Its healing vapours are inhaled direct to the inflamed air-passages. By morning, almost always, the wort of the cold in over.

These three simple rules make up the Vicks Plan for better Control of Colds. The Pian has thoroughly proved its valus to children.
