all the English-speaking world is at
WARRIOR our spiritual inheritance.
This struggle is not localized in
France or the East. Some of its
most strategic battles are now be-
ing fought in the centers of the
homelands. Every woman and every
man who adheres steadfastly to the
standards of the Christian religion,
and to the vast integrities of life
which the centuries have tested, is a
co-worker with the brave boys who
fling their lives over the top in
France. Together they fight for
the pre-eminence Of. what is spir-
itual over Grass and brutal appetite.
What would it avail us to break the
Hun in Europe and suffer his ideals
to conquer us in the homeland?
Every Sunday school teacher, every
parent, every preacher, every editor,
every teacher who in this crisis sees
clearly the indispensability of nobil-
ity and righteousness, may know of
q surety that he or she is a fellow
worker with God and the Allied
armies for the triumph of our sacred
cause.
A World Battle
ON the basis of this familiary Old
Testament story of the Appetite
ruled Esau, who sold his birthright
for a mess of pottage, we have to-
day the annual lesson for Worlds
Temperance Sunday. In these days
of jubilation over the spectacular
victories of the temperance move
ment, it is not to be forgotten that
for many years the Sunday schools
of the world have been laying siege
iio the citadel of strong drink. The
war has been the occasion but the
cause runs back through long and
dark years of tireless temperance
teachings and struggling.
To-day there comes to my desk a
call for an International Conference
of Allied and Neutral Countries, to
be held In Columbus, Ohio, Novem-
Der 1921. to lay plans for the COM
plete elimination of the beverage
liquor traffic throughout the entire
world. That Canada and the United
States are to be permanently dry
now seems assured. But this old
earth cannot continue under the
new conditions of solidarity, half
wet and half dry. Our allied prob
lem eontempiates a new and better
order of life for all peoples; and we

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. there
fore, 1t is necessary that we distrib-
ute. as widely as possible, the stock
that we are manufacturing daily, to-
gether with that now on the jobbers'
and retailers shelves, in order that
it may get to the Influenza districts
quickly. Our normal output is about
1000 dozen per day. We are putting
on a night shift, but 1t will be a
little while before that is producing.

From all accounts, the most eagerly soughtfor ciga-

figures to prove this are not available; but, in view of
Faima'S known popularity with both officers and men

to be correct. Below are printed a few typical reports on

NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRUR

In addition to the usual method of
using VapoRub-that is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered
with hot flannel cloths-our Gus

OF their success in using VapoRub
in other ways, particularly as q pre-
veptive. They melt a little In n
spoon and inhale the vapors arising.

as the present epidemic, our duty
and your duty-is to distribute
VapoRub in the quickest possible
manner to those sections stricken by
Influenza. We. therefore, call your

DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On October 1st we had on hand,
at our factory and in twenty ware
houses scattered I'VE the country,
sufficient VapoRub to last us, we
thought, until January l, allowing
for. a 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
fluenza hit us-and in the last ten
days this stock has vanished. At
first we thought this tremendous de-
mand would last only a few days,
but the orders have run:
Wed, Oct. 16-1S;504 dozen.
Thur, Oct. 17-25,323 dozen.
Fri, Oct. 1S-39,256 dozen.
Sat-, oct. 19-45,S33 Dozen.

Relics of the Boche

It's very pretty around here, too,
the barracks being on the side of a
small hill. In fact, we're right in the
center of a beautiful grove. which
contains so many things left behind
by the Boche hat a souvenir hunter
would be in Heaven. Among other
things, are hundreds of Boche artil-
lery shells. stacked up outside the
barracks. And, what's more, they are
all pointed this way. So here's hoping
the Fritzies who wander over here
nearly every night don't drop any
bombs In the neighborhood of that
Boche "woodpile," for it sure would
make things hot for the flute player
and I, and, OF course, it would be Just
my luck to have everything else get
plugged, myself included, except that
doggoned flute. Barbwire is becom-
ing more plentiful, too. In fact, IL the
war does nothing else for the peas
ants whose land has been fought over,
1t will save them the cost of wire and
posts for fencing in their land. GoIly!
there's enough wire scattered around
here to fence in a Montana ranch.
Found three letters here from you
when 1 came home. They sure were
welcome n interesting, and was
glad to hear you had read the letter
about the attack on the balloon. 1t
made me laugh to see how quickly
Dad changes his tune from "get a
Boche" to stop taking such big
chances" AS for lighting the Boche
when they start a merry-go-round,
it's my duty to go down and attack.
even IL they do get me. AS for that
especial trick, It's a very old one for
the Boche, being used by one. of their
crack escadrilles.

Board Also Limits Output Of Roller
Bearings and Linoleum.

War restrictions have been placed
on the manufacture of roller bear
ings. tobacco and linoleum by the
War Industries Board, il was an
nounced yesterday ---..
Emphasizing the imperative need
of steel to win the war, the board
stated that no manufacturer of
roller and ball bearings would be
allowed to have steel for his pro-
duct unless he pledged himself to
make and sell the bearings only
for essential uses as defined by the
board.
Tobacco manufacturers are not to
use any more tin containers or tin
foil for packing tobacco, and are
to conserve metals wherever used
in the process of manufacture or
sale. The board says that tobacco
manufacturers in 1917 used in their
tin containers per cent of the tin
plate production of the United
States, a. total of l.4S1.IS7 boxes
containing 74,059 tons OF, steel and
1888 tons of pig, tin. The board

Frank A. Vanderlip Points to Ben

That the war savings campaign

obtained from the thrift campaign.
The war savings doctrine. he says,
is not only essential to the winning
of the war. but is to a great extent
the salvation of the nation.
Aside from its value in helping
to finance the war. he points out
that the campaign is producing
even greater results in inculcating
the habit of thrift in the daily lives
of American citizens. Those who
have never before practiced econ
