RETAILERS CAN GET IMME-

RECT 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
to the following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE If SUPPLY
is NOT CONSERVED.
On October LIST we had on hand, al
our Factory and in twenty warehouses
scattered over the country, sufficient
VapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January LIST, allowing for 500 in.
crease 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 10
days this stock has vanished. AT
first we thoughtathis tremendous de.
mand would last only few days, but
the orders have run:
Wed, Oct. 16. 1884 Doz.
Thur, Oct. II. .25,323 Doz.
Fri, Oct. IS. 1926 DOG.
Sat, Oct 49,. 1888 Doz.
Mon, Oct. 81. 7O5 Doe.
Up to Saturday, October 18th, we
have actually shipped for this month
$400,2841O or over two million 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 congest-
ed nowadays, and it may be some time
before this supply reaches the jobbers
In the meantime, therefore, it is nee
essary that we distribute, as widely as
possible. the stock that we are manu-
featuring 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 little while before that
is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGISTS TO DO
Last Saturday we notified all of our
jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol.
lows:
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 in small
lots only.

Onion in Good Standing
in Most Select Circles

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 26.-The
onion has been introduced to polite
society and is in good standing, partly
the result of war measures in food con-
servation and partly because Of new
way to prepare them minus the odor.
This may be done by cooking them in
a large amount of rapidly boiling wa
ter. These measures have placed
onions in the category of foods suit
able to serve anywhere instead of be-
ing merely wash day" dish, de-

BIG NAVAL GUNS
. ARE NOW IN USE
ON WEST FRONT
Weapons Throw Heaviest
Projectile of Any Guns in
Use-Manned BY Sailors.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Details OF
the achievement OF the Navy Depart
ment In making available for use on
the western front Of the great naval
guns which press dispatches have re-
ported to be hammering the German
Serre front, were made public today
by Secretary Daniels The naval guns
which have been In operation since
Sept. 16 originally were intended for
new battle cruisers, but change in
the design OF the vessels left the guns
unavailable for that use. Rear Admi-
raj Earle chief OF the navy bureau of
ordnance, then recommended that the
guns be sent to the western front and
he was directed to proceed with the
design and construction.
The guns are manned and operated
by officers and men of the United
States navy, under the command OF
Rear Admiral Plunkett, former direct
or OF the Office of gunncry exercises
and engineering performances. The
FIRST party OF officers and men to
handle the guns arrived in France June
Q. the first shipment of material left
this country June 20, and the entire
organization was completed and ready
70 move to the battle front in France
late In August
7 The guns are said to throw a heav-
Ter projectile and have greater Iluz-
2le velocity than any weapon ever
placed on a mobile land mounting
The weight OF the explosive used with
each projectile Is many time greater
than that used in the freak German
long-range guns. and in point Of their
destructive force they are incOmpar.
able.
Train for Each Gun.
The organization to man one gun
requires an entire train. including the
gun car itself. ammunition cars, a
crane car and construction, sand
timer, kitchen, fuel, workshop. berth.
ing and staff radio cars. Many OF the
cars were especially manufactured by
the Standard Steel Car Company, and
the locomotives, eighty three-ton types
with four pairs of drivers, were built
BY the Baldwin Locomotive Works
One car Is a complete machine shop
equipped with forge. lathes, grinders
and drill presses. The gun car, as
well as the ammunition cars, are
heavily armored, 1900 square feet OF
plate being required.
The gun car Is convertible into a
form Of pit foundation to permit fire
at high angles of elevation, and 1t was
said the entire process Of placing the
gun in that position and restoring it
to complete mobility requires only a
few minutes. Under test, on it's steel
car mounting, the gun has shown &C
curacy of Are at longer ranges than
ever before possible with guns of such
great caliber. Direction Of the fire
upon any target is made possible sim
ply by shifting the position of the gun
mount on the tracks.
Plans for the gun mountings as we'll
as for the trains were korked out at
the naval gun factory in Washington
within thirty days and contracts were
let Jan. %. The first gun was com.
pleted In April and tests were held at
the army proving grounds at Sandy
Hook, n j., the only field large
enough. in the presence of army and
navy officials and representatives OF
the allied governments.
