We'll he said nothing about that.

thing of that kind"
Poor Talak," the girl murmur-

etc. After l had struck the ball

played off the base a little, while
the pitcher was about to throw the
ball to the next batter. However.
the pitcher threw the ball between
the second base and me-the ball
crossed the line just after | had
stepped back on the base. One boy
near me yelled, out" and while
| did not think | was, l grasped
that situation as an opportunity to
teach the needed lesson. "All
right" | said, as l started imme-
diately to leave my base for a field
er's position. Two or three other
boys objected, saying that I was
safe a mile" But / said, mo,
that's all right. Glenn was stand
ing near, where he could see, and
he said | was out, so that's enough. ="
Attention was then quickly directed
to the next batter up"
The next few times | went up to
bat, | considered myself out" at
the least suggestion made by any
one and it was almost inspiring to
see how quickly the previous man
ner of yelling and arguing changed
to following the example set before
them.
Some person will have to teach
your boy fairness in a similar way.
His father could do him an ever
lasting favor by giving him a little
time each day, playing games with
him and demonstrating the spirit
of fair play.
Exhorting on this subject without
example is well-nigh useless. But
children greatly admire and are
influenced by actual demonstrations
of good will and fair play.
Teach your children always to
show a fine, altruistic spirit toward
those about them, in work as we'll
as play, and you need not worry
about their getting along in the
world.

Life itself is a game we all must
play. And our success or failure
depends in no small measure upon
how we observe its rules.
Childish competitive games furn-
ish practise for adult games and
that child who is not properly taught
how to play fair in these early,
practise-g games actually is handi-
capped for life.
Let us consider a case. A mother
writes to me:
My eight-year-o boy does not
always play fair in games but wants
to have his own way which often
irritates other boys"
There is only one really effective
way to teach fairness and that is
by example.
To. be very specific as to the way
in which the method may be APP
piled, l will give you a personal
illustration.
Several boys, approximately the
age of your son, were playing a
game of ball in a school yard
through which | was passing. The
boys wanted me TO Join them, and
| did for a few minutes. The first
boy up to bat knocked an easy
'grounder" and he was crossed
out" but the ball came so near
going directly over the first base
that it left room for an argument.
The fielders after a loud protest let
him go. Then going from first base
to second he was crossed out, and,
since no specific rule had been made
about the runner turning his back
to the ball, he again called himself
safe" And so these boys argued
at every turn.
Finally, it came my turn to bat.
AT this point we made new rules
mostly against the batter. For ex-
ample, over the fence was out"
the batter couldn't turn his back,
the runner had to touch each base,

This, advertisement is written on
Monday, O2tober 21. 1t is directed
to the attention of al distributors
of Vick's FapoHub, both wholesale
and retail. In an emergency such
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
careful attention to the following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IL SUP
PLY IS NOT CONSERVED
On October 1st we had ON hand.
at our factory and in twenty ware
houses scattered over the country
sufficient VapoRub to last US, we
thought, until January 1, allowing
for a 80 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. 1873, 1856 dozen.
Sat-, Oct. 19-45,S33 dozen.
Mon, Oct. 21-77,705 dozen.
Up to Saturday, October 10Th,
we have actually shipped for this
month S400,2S4.10, or over two mill
lion 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 it may be
some time before this. supply reaches
the Jobbers. In the meantime, there
fore, it 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 night shift, but It will be a
little while before that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO
Last Saturday we notified all of
our jobbers, by special delivery, as
follows:

ments of all kinds are can
celled. Fill no quantity or

NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRrR

In addition to the usual method OF
using VapoRub-thati is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered
with hot flannel cloths-our Gus
toners are writing us daily telling
of their success in using VapoRub
in other ways, particularly as a pre-
ventive. They melt a little in a
spoon and inhale the vapors arising,
or melt 1t in benzoin steam kettle.
Where the steam kettle is not avail
able. VapoRub can be used in an
ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle half full of boiling water, put
in half 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, DR..
Stiles. of this service, recommends
that the nose be kept creased as a.
preventive measure against the IN
fluenza germs. For this purpose
vapoRub is excellent.

The front line was running over
what appeared 10 be- good. solid
ground. when they broke through and
fell into trenches 30 to 10 feet deep.
These trenches had been dug, covered
over with hinch boards and then
with dirt, nnd'were regular man.traps.
Sharp stakes were sticking out of the
parapet and parados. and at the bot.
tom were more stakes and rocks and
barbed wire.
We were advancing with bayonets
fixed and arms at the carry. NO when

second. the boys OF the third line came
running up. and In the scrnmble that

comrades. ! was In the third line, but
! was lucky enough to pull up In time
and did not fall In. You could not look
down Into that trench after you had
seen II once. II was too sickenIng.
Our casualties were sent back to the
ship. One boat was sunk by n shell
and all the men lost.
We remained where we were,
scratching out shallow trenches for
ourselves. finding what natural cover
there was and otherwise getting ready
for the night. which was near. II
began TO rain and we could hardly
keep any fires going. because we had
TO shelter them from the shore side, no
the enemy could not spot US. and the
wind was from the sea. 1t was certain.

Every once In q while we would

On board the Cdssard our guns had
been busy all the time, and II was not
long before we put one enemy bat
