promptu procession. The amount Of
powder available was limited but good
use was made of it and downright happi-

elaborate Fourth of July celebration

ing of all was that now they could die
happy Arrangements are being made
for grand patriotic peace meeting to be
held Sunday evening at 1880 in the town

THE DISTRESS
AFTER EATING
is ALL GONE
Nervous Indigestion Caused This Well
Known Youngstown Man Much
Misery, but Be Found
a Remedy.

Nervous people who have not yet de-
yeloped a disease that can be recognized
and treated by the medical profession
have the greatest trouble in finding re-
lief. Irritation, headache, sleeplessness,
nervous dyspepsia, all these discomforts
make life miserable but are endured
rather than run a doctors bill without
definite hope Of recovery.
81 was all run down and nervous and
couldn't sleep very we'll" says Mr., John
Pollock, ST., well-known resident Of
Youngstown Ohio, who lives at No ga
Williamson avenue in that city. IL would
getRervous spells that would come ON all
at once and that would leave me weak
and dizzy. | was troubled with nervous
indigestion and suffered distress after
eating.
81 had heard of DR., WILLIAMS Pink
Pills for years and finally decided to try
them After had taken one box | knew
that they were helping me, and ] began
to feel more like myself. | have taken
four boxes and for man seventy years
Of age my nerves are in good shape |
can sleep soundly mad no longer have the
nervous dizzy spells. The pains have all
left me, my appetite is good, and there
is no distress after eating"
Everyone who suffers rs Mr. Pollock
did should know the danger of such a
condition of the nervous system. Merry
GUS debility and even paralysis may
easily result if the tone of the nerves is
not restored.
The one big fact that brings hope and
relief is that the nerves can be restored
by building up the blood. 1t cannot be
too often repeated that only through the
blood can nourishment and medicine
reach the nerves DIR. Williams Pink Pills
make the blood rich and red and quickly
restore vitality and energy to a weak,
nervous system, A nervous person who
gives these pills trial is almost certain
to see good results and, what is more,
the benefit will be lasting because the
trouble is attacked at its root. Thin
blood makes weak nerves. Building up
the blood restores the nerve force.
Try DR. Williams Pink Pills for ane-
mia, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness,
sciatica. Build up your blood and note
how the purer and richer blood fights
your battles against the disease, Take
DR., Williams Pink Pills as tonic if
you are not in the best physical condition
and cultivate resistance that with the
observance Of ordinary tales Of health
win keep you well and strong. Get box
from the nearest drug store and begin

A DANGEROUS CRAFT.
An American Destroyer with Depth
Bombs Ready.

Bombs Ready.
On Board an American Destroyer in
French Waters, Nov 8 Correspondence
of the Associated Press An American
destroyer with her depth bombs ready
to be discharged is indeed dangerous
craft to monkey with She is a menace
not only to the enemy but to any other
craft with which she might collide in the
darkness, running without lights, and to
herself as well. If one of her depth
bombs loaded with its heavy charge OF
I N 4 should be accidentally exploded
there would be little left of the destroy
er.
The deadly depth charge which is PROV
ing to be the conclusive answer to the
submarine menace now is being released
from every quarter of the destroyer Two
Of these big cylinders of high explosives
can be dropped from the bridge by the
pressure of button, amidships Thorny-
croft throwers drop charge from eth
er side of the destroyer, forming bar
rage
"Y guns" are stationed amidships with
two barrels, each Of which throws a
depth charge, one to port and the other
to starboard. Finally astern, there are
two long lines of depth charges running
on miniature railway tracks, ready to be
dropped over the stern,
With all these depth bomb charges
ready to be let loose forwcrd, aft and
amidships complete enveloping bar
rage can be put in operation at any time
With the destroyers completely envelop-
ing the transports the water barrage ex-
tends its protecting sweep entirely
around the fleet
Great care is taken against any coll
lisions in the darkness which would re-
lease the depth charges. While the shock
of a collision would not cause an explo-
sion the depth charge might destroy its
own ship by exploding when it reached
the depth fixed by the fuse. Such an
explosion has actually occurred in one
case, doing considerable damage but
causing no fatalities This incident has
given warning of the extreme care need
ed to guard against night collisions when
the fleet is going through the darkness
with all lights out

THREE MILLION JARS
SHIPPED DURING
OCTOBER

On Monday, October 81, we addressed
an advertisement to the wholesale and
retail drug trade, advising that we were
badly oversold, due to the influenza epi-
demic, stating that all deals and quan-
tity shipments were postponed, and re-
questing that VapoRub be purchased in
small lots only. This condition still pre-
walls.
At this writing we have back orders
for eighteen thousand tls,000l gross and
our orders each day are double our daily
output The epidemic, however, is de-
creasing in most sections, the demand is
slackening, and we are working night
and day to catch up. Id the meantime,
we ask the trade to be patient with us.

HOW TO USE vIcRS vAPoRUB AS
A. PREVENTIVE.

It is questionable if there is anything
which will prevent Spanish influenza,
except avoiding those persons who are
spreading the disease by coughing, sneez-
ing and splitting, and by keeping up the
bodily resistance by plenty of good food
and exercise in the open air. The Public
Health Service recommends that the ma
sal passages be coated with a weak solu-
ton Of menthol in liquid petroleum as a.
protective. For this purpose VapoRub is
excellent. just put a small portion up
each nostril from time to time during
the day and snuff well back into the head.

KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY
INHALING VAPORUB

Colds irritate the lining of the air
passages and thus render them a much
better breeding place for the germs. At
the first signs of cold, use VapoRub at
once Melt little in a spoon and inhale
the vapors arising, or VapoRub can be
used in a regular benzoin steam kettle,
such as most druggists carry in stock. If
this is not available, a very good substi-
tute to use is an ordinary tea-kettle.
Fill half full of boiling water-put in
half a teaspoon Of VapoRub from time
to time-keep the kettle just slowly boil
ing and inhale the steam arising

ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE
WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCKS.

On October LIST we had on hand at the

Rub accumulated during the summer
months This is now gone--we actually
shipped during the month of October
over three million jars Of VapoRub We
are speeding up our factory as much as
possible and the problem now is to dis
tribute the factory's output as quickly
as possible We have, therefore, for the
time being, abandoned freight shipments
and are shipping either by parcel post or
express-trying to give each jobber at

we are, during this emergency, making

HOW TO USE vAP0RUB IN TREAT
ING SPANISH INFLUENZA.

In every case call physician -Vapo-
Rub should be used only in connection
with the physicians internal treatment.
Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat,
chest and back between the shoulder
blades to open the pores. Dry lightly
and rub VapoRub well in until the skin
is red-spread on thickly and cover with
hot flannel cloths. Leave the bed cover
ing loose around the neck, as the body
heat releases the ingredients in the form
of yapors. These yapors, inhaled with
each breath, stimulate the lining of the
air passages to throw off the influenza
germs. In case of head or chest cold,
which often accompanies influenza, the
vapors tend to keep the air passages
open, loosen the phlegm and make the
breathing easier. In addition, VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood to the surface,
and thus aids in relieving the congestion
within.
