Mothers Here
Interested in
New Treatment
Relieve* Colds Over Night and
Croup In Ilttccn Minutes—
Applied Externally.
NOTHING TO SWM.I.OW,
NO DOSING THE STOMACH
Druggists Below Have Arranged to
Soil 23c, 50e and SI.OO Packages
on 30 Days' Trial.
T.ocal druggists report a great deal
of interest among tlie Indies, especial
ly among mothers with small chil
dren. in the new external treatment,
Vick's "Vap-O-Rub" Salve, recently
introduced here from the South.
This new treatment does away with
Injurious internal medicines, flannel
Jackets and vapor lamps, in treating
the various forms of cold troubles.
Vick's "Vap-O-Rub" comes in Salve
form, and is applied over the throat
and chest, covering with a warm
flannel cloth. The body heat releases
medicated vapors that are inhaled with
every breadth all night long through
the air passages to the lungs. These
vapors loosen the phlegm, and clear'
the air passages. In cases of deep
chest colds, first apply hot wet towels
over the throat and chest to open the
pores. Vick's is then absorbed
through the skin, taking out that
tightness and soreness.
While the profit on Vick's is
smaller than on the old time prepara
tions, the druggists, whose names are
given below, have the welfare of their
customers more'at heart than the in
terest of their pocket books, and have
arranged to sell Vick's on 30 days'
trial, giving with each sale a refund
l»lank that is good for your money
back if vou are not delighted.

TIRED WORKING MEN
A Local Druggist Suggests a
Remedy For Overworked,
Rundown Men.
The following letter from Manager
I lodes recounts the experience and
condition of many Harrisburg men.
Read this letter and our offer which
follows:
Brooklyn, N. Y., "X am a general
ofnee manager, and became so ner
vous and rundown in health that I
lost my appetite and finally my health
broke down completely, largely be
cause of overwork, r tried Beef Iron
and Wine, and other remedies with
out help. I saw Vinol advertised, and
soon after taking it 1 noticed an
improvement. I now have a hearty
appetite, sleep better, feel better anil
have gained considerable in weight."
Samuel Hodes, 501 Stone Ave.
The reason Vinol is so successful
in such cases is because it contains
the three oldest and most famous
tonics viz.—the medicinal elements of
fresh cod livers without oil, peptonate
of iron and beef peptone.
We ask every run-down, over
worked man in Harrisburg to try a
bottle of Vinol with the understand
ing that their money will be returned
if it fails to help them as it did Mr.
Hodes.
George A. Gorgas, Druggist: Ken
nedy's Medicine Store, 321 Market
street; C. P. Kramer, Third and Broad
streets: Ivitzmiller's Pharmacy, 1335

S'ou live, there is a Vinol Drug Store

END MISERY OF PILES
"Hundreds of people in this vicin
ity", says Peterson, "know of the
mighty healing power of PETER
SON'S OINTMENT in eczema, salt
rheum, old sores, itching skin and ul
cers. They know It cures these ail
ments—that it is guaranteed to cure
lliem."
Now I want to say to every sufferer
from piles, either blind, bleeding or
Itching, that I will guarantee that a
2."> cent box of PETERSON'S OINT
MENT will rid you of piles or your
druggist will return your money.
"For years I suffered terribly with
itching and bleeding piles. I tried
everything and despaired of ever
petting rid of them. It gives me
great pleasure to state that Peterson's
Ointment entirely cured me. and 1
lincerely recommend it to all suffer
ers.'—Yours truly, David A. Seymour.

SERBIAN REFUGEE
CAMP PITCHED IN
MUD AND WATER
1,200 Arc Crowded Into Twen

SUFFERING IS DREADFUL
Have Insufficient Clothes and
Food; Winter Hits Them
Hard
j Saioniki, Greece, Jan. 28. —(Corre
; spondence of the Associated Press) —
I The temporary Serbian refugee camp
I lies in the vacant lot back of the Rus
sian hospital. For only a short time
ago Saioniki was a Turkish city, and
as in ail the leading towns of the
Ottoman empire each nation with any
important colony had its own hospital,
i its own schools, its own post office, as
it had its own consulate. So there is
! a Russian hospital at Saioniki.
It is an Imposing and well-equlp
{ ped building in an elaborato setting
|of formal gardens such as might
■ surround the railway station of any
! prosperous American suburban town.
In contrast, the vacant lot behind the
hospital grounds is barren, a dump
ing ground, full of mud holes, un
drained and morose.
Here are pitched some twenty-five
tents that shelter over twelve hundred
men, women and children whose
whole stock of worldly possessions is
what they carried with them on their
flight from war-flayed Serbia. Some
came by train, before it was too late.
They have beds, a trunk or two of
clothing to a family—possibly an
American sewing machine. But most
fled afoot in the last hours of Serbia's
agony, tearing their peasant hearts
reluctantly from their native soil.
They have the clothes they stand in.
Perhaps there is a homespun blanket
between two or three.
From the inside, the canvas of the
oval tents shows yellow and opaque,
under the rain of every day. The
ground Is wet with the continual
coming and going of muddy feet, shod
only with flimsy sandels. Badly gut
tered around the edges the canvas
walls of the tents let tiny rivulets
trickle across the floor. In some, the
women, haunting the allies' docks and
camps, have salvaged a few planks,
torn from box tops. These nailed to
gether serve to raise sleeping blankets
an inch or two above the ground.
Luxury! The greater part have
spread their wet blankets on the wet
earth.
Few Men
The men in the camp by day are
old—those too old to fight. Or they
are the maimed relics of battle. The
Serbs who can fight did not flee. They
are with what is left of their coun
try's army, still fighting in the moun
tains of Albania somewhere, or on the
borderland of Greece. The women do
not know where they are. They do
not even know if they live. And if
they be dead, they will never know
where they died—nor where they lie
buried.
One tent after another reveals
misery indescribable. Around their
sides, in the pouring rain, feeble old
men clad in patched rags seek to dam
the torrents that continually break
through the earth dykes and seep into
the tents. Others lie on he ground
within, wrapped in blankets. too
wretched to move. The hospital is
full of the more seriously ailing
there is no room for those who are
simply slightly ill, or weary.
At one end of a tent, seated on a
petroleum box as if enthroned, is a
young woman, a shawl drawn over
her head. She is rocking to and fro,
moaning. From time to time she
buries her face in the torn rag of
what was once a pillow slip, held
clutched in her lap. Her shoulders
shake with the rythm of expressed
grief. Old women, squatting on the
ground about her in a semicircle at
little distance fumble at inconsequent
tasks, chattering like a Greek chorus.
No one speaks to her. Only occasion
ally the children come and stand star
ing with the cruel curiosity of youth,
whispering among themselves.
Mother Goes Mad
Her baby was ill when she left
Ghevgneli a week ago. There was
no food for him on the journey afoot.
The bitter wind of the Vardar Valley
bit through the inadequate shawl.
The boy died at last in her arms. She
had to bury him there, in a shallow
grave hastily dug by a French soldier.
Such fairly able-bodied men as
there are among the refugees are em
ployed by the allied armies in con
struction work, on the fortifications
now hurriedly building around
Saioniki. The French pay them four
francs a day, the British three
princely wages, that help the little
colony vastly. Meanwhile the Russian
relief committee has been busily at
work. A hundred and fifteen thou
sand drachmaes have been collected
—a large part of the sum In Mace
donia itself —wherewith to feed and
clothe the more destitute. Princess
Demidoff, the wife of the Russian
minister at Athens, is head of the
work, herself on the ground directing
everything with the assistance of the
Russian Consul at Saioniki. Her work
is the Immediate relief of those whose
misery cannot wait the long process
of the establishment of an elaborate
permanent refugee camp at Volo pro
jected by the British Serbian Relief
Committee.
Night falls. The few men creep
in from their work on the French and
British trenches, covered with mud.
The lamp, hanging on a string from
the middle of the tent, is lit. A few
soldiers, Serbians, who have also been
at work, stroll in, followed by a Ser
bian policeman or two, who them
selves are the sole guardians of the
law in their own camp. The mass of
them heats up the tent notwithstand
ing the dampness. Pour unearth from
a corner curious, wierd-shaped in
struments—a huge bass viol that is
played with a pick, not a bow; a
mandolin strong, however, like a
guitar; a guitar-shaped instrument
whose doubled strings are those of a
mandolin, finally a tiny instrument no
bigger than a porridge bowl, with a
long neck and a plaintive tenor voice
that sings the melody. The music be
gins—the prmitive music of a simple
people, in the minor, with poignant
reiterations.
Some one in the shadow starts to
sing softly. Others join, one by one
—the infinitely sad voices of those to
whom music is alone left. Songs,
cousin to the minor harmonies of the
Russian folk songs; Slav songs, race
songs—the voice of a people, one and
indomitable.
And far at the end of the tent In
the semidarkness. still rocking to and
fro. to the beat of the music now, the
mother sits alone accustoming her
aj-ms to their loneliness for the baby'
she left by the somber road from!
Serbia.
