GOVERNOR ASKS
NEBRASKA BOYS
ALL TO REGISTER
Those Between Fifteen and
Eighteen Should Put
Names on Lists
November ID.

Within the, next few days Cover
nor Neville will issue a proclama-
ton calling for the registration on
Nov "a of all boys in the state
whose ages on September Il last
were between IS years, six months
and IS years.
The governor wishes it under
stood that this registration has
nothing whatever TO do with any re-
quirement for military service, but
is intended to aid in placing the boys
where they will contribute most eff
tectively to the productive interests
OF the commonwealth. and the pa
ton. y
Three Glasses
Registrars will be divided into
three classes: boys who are in
school; Boys who are not in
school but who are working, and
S-Boys who are not in school and
who are not working.
1t is not the purpose to disturb
the boy who is working, if he wishes
to continue, nor to interfere with
the boy who is in school; but it is
sthe intention to assist in placing all
the-boys where they will contribute
to the greatest efficiency in supply
ing the needs of the country.
Physical Training ~
After the boys are registered. it
is planned to give all who wish it,
a thorough physical examination,
with the idea of working out some
corrective scheme of physical train
ing whereby each boy may develop
the strongest possible body, that
the state may use him to the full
extent of these powers.
Among the several bureaus which
viii be appointed to look after this
work, will be one called the Bureau
OF Welfare, whose duty it will be to
inspect all farms and industrial
plants to which the boys NAV be
assigned. and to look after their in
terests while there engaged, to the
end that health and morals will be
thoroughly safeguarded.
Educational Program
I Beginning with the first of the
year 1919 definite educational pro-
gram will be instituted in the
schools, both for boys who take up
agricultural pursuits and those who
choose to enter upon some kind of
industrial enterprise. 1t will be an
intensive course of about three
months duration, at the end of which,
or about April l, boys choosing
same will be assigned to agricultural
or industrial work as the case may
be.
The date fixed for this registra-
ton is Nov. Ia, at which time all
aschoolhouses throughout the city
and county will serve as registra-
ton centers, and theiwork of regis
tration will be in charge of the var
ious teachers thereof. with authority
to secure such additional assistance
as may be needed to keep the place

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or
Bladder bothers, drink lots
of water and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
a lot of drugs that excite the kid
neys and irritate the entire urinary
tract. Keep your kidneys clean like
you keep your bowels clean, by
flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urin-
Gus waste and stimulates them to
their normal activity. The func-
ton of the kidneys is to filter the
blood. In "a hours they strain
from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast
each morning for few days and
your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
Of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer
S a source of irritation, thus ending
ladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
njure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep their kidneys clean and &C
tive. Try this, also keep up the
water drinking, and no doubt you
will wonder what became of your
kidney trouble and backache.-

that Omaha's share in the campaign
will be $325,000 and 50 per cent extra
to meet this latest call.

Big Shipments Are En- Route
to Jobbers. Until These
Arrive There May Be a
Temporary Shortage. All
Deals Postponed-Buy in
Small Lots Only.
Retailers Can Get Immediate
Shipments Direct By
Parcel Post.

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
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 fol-
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP.
PLY IS NOT CONSERVED.
On October LIST we had on hand,
at our Factory and twenty ware
houses scattered over the country,
sufficient VapoRub to last us, we
thought, until January>1st, allowing
for a 500 increase over last years
sales, and not counting our daily
output. This big excess stock had
been accumulated during the sum-
mer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fluenza hit us-and in the last 10
days this stock has vanished. At
first we thought this tremendous
demand would last only a few days,
but the orders have run:
Omaha daily bee., 1918-10-29

Up to Saturday, October 10Th,
we have actually shipped for this
month $400,2S4.10, or over two
million jars Of VapoRub,/
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO
DISTRIBUTE VAPORUB
QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous guam
tity is still en- route to the jobbers,
but freight and express are both
congested nowadays, and it may be
some time before this supply
reaches the jobbers. In the mean
time. therefore, it is necessary that
we distribute, as widely as possible,
the stock that we are manufacture
ing daily, together 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 it will be a little
while before that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLE
SALE DRUGGIST TO DO.
Last Saturday we notified all of
our jobbers, by Special Delivery, as
follows:
1st-Deals and quantity shipments
of all kinds are cancelled Fill
no quantity orders of any
kind, whether taken by our
statesmen or by your own. Sell
n in small lots only.
THE WICK CHEMICAL &C
Omaha daily bee., 1918-10-29

2nd-Order from us in as small
quantities as possible. If
you are out we will try to
ship limited amount by Par
eel Post or Express, and pay
the charges ourselves.
3rd-In order to make distribution
still quicker, we win ship d.
rect to your retail customers
quantities not more than three
81 dozen SOC size at any one
shipment.
4th-We are now out of the Coo
size and will be for the next
10 days.
WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL
DRUGGIST TO DO.
Buy in as small quantities as pos
sible. If you have any quantity
orders, given the jobbers' statesmen
or given to our statesmen, don't
bother about them-no need to
write us-it is absolutely impossible
to fill these orders at this time.
If the jobbers in your territory are
out of Vick's VapoRub, we will ship
you by Parcel Post, prepaid, guam
titles not more than three 81 dozen
soc size in any one order. Natur-
ally, we don't open accounts at this
time, so your check or money order
for this amount must accompany
order. Don't write us stating to
ship through your jobber, as we
then have to wait until we write
this jobber and get his 0. K. If
you wish the goods to come through
your johber, have him order them
for you.
SHOWED UNDER WITH corr
RESPONDENCE. y
Our force has already been "shot
to pieces"-twenty-four of our men
are wearing Uncle Sans khaki
and this recent rush has simply
buried us. All our sales force has
been called in to help in the office
and factory. We just mention this
so you won't hold it against US if
your wires and letters aren't
answered promptly.
SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON lNFLU.
ENZA.
We will send, on request, to any
retail druggist, 100 or more little
booklets, just issued, on Spanish In
fluenza, giving the latest informa-
ton about this disease-its history
the symptoms-the treatment,
and particularly the use Of Vick's
VapoRub as an external application
to supplement the physicians treat
ment.
NEW WAYS TO USE VAPoRUB.
In addition to the usual method
of using VapoRub-that is, applied
over the throat and chest and COW
cred with hot flannel cloths-our
customers are writing us daily tell
ing of their success in using Vapo-
Rub in other ways, particularly as
a preventive. They melt a little
in a spoon and inhale the vapors
arising, or melt in benzoin steam
kettle. Where the steam kettle is
not available, VapoRub can be used
in an ordinary tea-kettle. 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,
DR.. Stiles, of this service, recon.
mends that the nose be kept CREASED
as a preventive measure against
the Influenza germs. For this pur-
pose, VapoRub is excellent.
