State building costs hinder Iowa projects delayed by high bids
Des Moines March 3 The state board of control faces steep prices delaying improvements. A Mount Pleasant state hospital laundry bid topped 339000, far above the prewar estimate. Mitchellville storage move would cost about 1800, causing the idea to be dropped. Remodeling Leander Clark college facilities continues but funds limit a new heating plant and may push a juvenile home opening to next year.

Vicks VapoRub: A Salve That Vaporizes For Congestion Aid
The article explains Vick's VapoRub as a salve that heats with body warmth to release vapors inhaled into the lungs while the salve also absorbs through the skin to draw blood to the surface. It highlights its use for deep colds, sore throat, bronchitis, croup and related illnesses and traces its origin to Lunsford Richardson in North Carolina who developed a vaporizing formula combining camphor menthol eucalyptus thymol and turpentine. It notes rising nationwide usage with annual jar counts from 1910 to 1918, reaching 17 377 406 jars in 1918 as evidence of its adoption.
