NAMES TO BE REMEMBERED
French Have Carefully Marked Graves
Of the First Three American Sol
diers Who Died in France.

Not long ago the French military au-
thorities granted permission to an
American press correspondent to spend
day and night In the trenches
where Corporal Gresham and Privates
Hay and Enright Of the American
army persisted in the German raid Of
November 3, 1917. Later he visited
the graves of these first to fall.
The soldiers, he says, guided us be-
tween two buildings down stretch of
deep mud. Out ahead was a ten-acre
field, surrounded by high stone wall.
At the very bottom angle Of the wall
eleven fresh mounds marked the rest
ing places Of the American dead.
Wilted flowers covered them. At the
head of each was roughly hewn cross
FIVE feet high.
Farthest away, the crosses told us,
lay the body of Thomas Enright. Next
was the grave of Merle D. Hay, and
the nearest of the three was the
mound that was the resting place Of
James B. Gresham. The markers for
those three Americans were octagonal
wooden name plates with the regi-
mental number of each man, and the
date Of death inscribed on each. An
intertwined background Of the Stars
and Stripes and the French Tricolor
made them stand out prominently. On
the fence inclosing the graves is
wooden sign, with black letters paint
ed on a white background. The in.
scription In French reads:
Here lie the first soldiers of the
noble republic of the United States to
fall on French soil for justice and lib
erty."-Youth's Companion.

This advertisement Is written on
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed to
the attention of all distributors of
Vick's VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such Is the
present epidemlc-our duty-and yOur
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
quickest possible manner to those Sec
lions stricken by Influenza. We. there
fore, call your careful attention to the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on haul. at
our Factory and in twenty warehouses
scattered over the country, sufficient
yapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January LIST, allowing for so per cent
increase over last years sales, and not
counting our daily output. This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fiuenza hit us-and in the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only a few days, but the
orders have run:
Wed, Oct. IS. -. .18,504 doz.
Thur, Oct. IT. 49,. .25.323 doz.
Fri, Oct. 1S. ....39 256 doz.
Sat-. Oct. 10. -. 1888 doz.
Mon, Oct. 81. .77,705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10Th. we
have actually shipped for this month
$780, 84.10. or over two million Jars
Of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS
TRIBUTE vAPoRUB QUICKLY.
Most Of this tremendous quantity Is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and 1t may be some
time before this supply reaches the
jobbers. In the meantime. therefore,
1t Is necessary that we distribute, as
widely as possible, the stock that we
are manufacturing daily. together with
that now on the jobbers' and retailers
shelves, In order that 1t may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1000 dozen
per day. We are putting on night
shift, but it will be a little while be-
fore that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO.
Last Saturday we notified all of our
jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol-
lows:

of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no
quantity orders of any kind, whether
taken by our salesman or by your own.

The headquarters are in the base

off his hat with an embarrassed air,

they let the man hurry out without

SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH
INFLUENZA.
We will send, on request, to any re-
tail druggist, 100 OF more little book
let's, just issued, on Spanish Influenza,
giving the latest information about
this disease-its history-the symp-
toms-the treatment. and particularly
the use of Vick's VapoRub as an ex-
ternal application to supplement the
physicians treatment.
NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRUB.
In addition to the usual method of
using vapoRub-Athnt is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
hot flannel cloths-our customers are
writing us daily telling of their sue
cess In using VapoRub in other ways,
particularly as preventive. They
melt little in a spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt 1t in benzoin
steam kettle. Where the steam kettle
is not available, VapoRub can be used
in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle half full Of boiling water, put In
half a teaspoon Of VapoRub from time
to time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
According to Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service. DR..
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose VapoRub
is excellent-just put a little up the
nostrils from time to time and SNUFF
well back into the air passages.
