A Jesuit settlement is being nego-

prepared by the United States Depart

To raise more hogs, to get more
meat to help win the war, is one of the
important food problems of the coun-
try now. To supply this need, hog
breeding must be increased materially
throughout the country, federal Off
Gals declare, and in certain states an
increase of 20 to so per cent in the
humber of hogs on farms is recon-
mendeG by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The situation is of great Importance.
We must have plenty of meat for our
armies and the armies of the allies in
the field, and sufficient meat for our
civilian population and the civilian
population of the allies at home.
To have this meat, breeding animals
must reproduce themselves, SO the off
spring will be available for slaughter
in the future.
Hogs can be increased quicker than
any other kind of live stock.
Therefore a larger number of sows
must be bred now, than in recent
years.
Abundance of Feed Crops.
In addition to the fact that there

EvEN-NAMEDHERO
Lafayette Only Nineteen When
He Came to America.
Congress Commissioned Him Major
General and Washington Invited
Him Into His Military Family.

Marie Jean Paul Roche wet Gilbert
Motier was born September 6. 1857.
You know this seven-named hero bet
ter by his title than by any of his sep
tet names; he was the Marquis de La
fayette.
While the birthday of Lafayette has
not been generally celebrated in the
United States, 40 9th of September has
been permitted to pass without some
recognition of Lafayette's services.
At the age of thirteen he inherited
an immense fortune, and he was oLy
sixteen when he married the grand
daughter of the Duke de Noailles. De-
spite his aristocratic education and en-
vironment, he was from childhood an
ardent lover of liberty.
Republican anecdotes always de-
lighted me-" he wrote in his memoirs.
land when my new connections wished
to obtain for me place at court did
not hesitate displeasing them to pre-
serve my independence"
When he first heard of the Revolu-
ton in America he "espoused warmly
services to Silas Deane the American
revolutionary agent in France.
'.When presented to Mr.. Deane my
boyish face, for l was scarcely nine
teen years of age, / spoke more of my
ardor in the cause than of my expert
ence," wrote Lafayette, but l dwelt
upon the effect my departure would
cause In France"
The credit of the Continental con-
gress was so low that Deane could not
procure vessel, SO Lafayette bought
and secretly freighted the ship Victory
to carry himself and dozen or so
other officers across the Atlantic.
Among Lafayette's companions was
Baron Johann de Kalb, native of Ba-
varia, who had long been in the serv-
ice of France. Against the wishes of
his relatives and the orders of the
French king Lafayette sailed for Amer
lea. From the Victory he sent a mes
sage to his girl-wife:
''From love to me become a good
American; the welfare of America is
closely bound up with the welfare of
mankind"
Lafayette and his party landed near
Georgetown, S. c., in April, 1777, and
then Travelled by land to Philadelphia,
where the congress commissioned the
nineteen-year-old boy a major general,
and Washington invited him to become
member of his military family.
The boy general Joined the CONT
mental army in August 1777, and in the
following month he fought at Brandy
wine, where the Stars and Stripes were
first carried into battle. Lafayette
fought as volunteer, and was badly
wounded. After several brilliant ex-
ploits he returned to France in 1873
and was hailed as hero
During the French revolution he was
on ardent republican and dropped his
lie when he was made commander in
chief Of the National Guards. He was
driven from his country by the ex-
tremists, and the Austrians flung him
into dungeon, where he was confined
for five years.

mails was not tested, 1t Is probable,
says the department, that it has no
value. The digestive tract of sheep Is
much more complex than that of hogs,
and 1t is probable that a drug having
no apparent effect on worms in the
comparatively simple digestive tract Of
hogs would be equally unsatisfactory
in the case of sheep and other rum

Manufacturers of soda lye are
warned to remove labels on which are
printed unwarranted claims that the

That soda lye has no value either

worms infesting hogs is the conclusion
of specialists of the department of
agriculture based upon Investigations
recently made. 1t is also said that
this material is not likely to be of
value against similar intestinal para

In the tests that were made by de-
partment specialists, hogs were fed
daily with the soda I've mixed in their
food in accordance with the directions
printed on q label of a commercial

NEW WAYS TO USE VAPoRU5.
In addition to the usual method OF
using VapoRub-that 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 a preventive. They
melt little In a spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt 1t in benzoin

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 a Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service. DIR.
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose VapoRub
is exceIlent-just put little up the

This advertisement is written on
Monday, October 21st. II is directed to
the attention of all distributors of
Vick's VapoRub. both wholesale and

present epidemic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
quickest possible manner to those Gee
tons stricken by Influenza. We, there
fore, cal; your careful attention TO the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP.
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on hanil. al
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:
We'd. Oct 10. -. 1884 doz.
Thur, Oct. II. .25.323 doz.
Fri, Oct, 10. .39.256 doz.
Sat, Oct. 10. -. .45.S33 dbz.
Mon, Oct. 81. ,705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10Th. we
have actually shipped for this month
$400, 2S410. or over two million jars
of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPoRU8 QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and it 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 a night
