SOAK SEED FOR FALL GARDEN

Owing to the difficulty usually ex- perienced in getting seeds planted In the fall garden to germinate, it Is wise to soak them a few hours before planting. Cover the seeds lightly when planting, then soak the ground and finish the covering with fine dry soil. The dust mulch will retain the moisture, enabling the seeds to ger minate and to come up.

NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRUB

In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub-that is, applied over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel cIoths-our customers are writing us daily telling of their suc- cess in using VapoRub in other ways, particularly as a preventive. They melt little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt it in a benZoin steam kettle. Where the steam kettle is not available, Vapo- Rub 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 edith Service, Dr. Stiles, of this Service, recommends that the nose be kept greased as preventive measure against the Influenza. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent.

THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS-
 TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY,

Most of this tremendous quantity is still enroute 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, 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 it may get to the Influenza districts quickly. Our normal output is about 4,00O dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but 1t will be a little while before that Is producing. WHATS WE ASK THE WHOLESALE DRUGGIST TO DO
 Last Saturday we notified all of our jobbers. by Special Delivery. as fol- lows:
 1st-Deala and quantity shipments of
 kinda are cancelled. Fill no
 quantity orders of any kind,
 whether taken by our salesmen or by your own. Sell in small lots only.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-10-28
WAT WE ASK THE RETAIL DRUG
 CYST TO DO

Buy in as small quantities as pos sible. If you have any quantity or ders, given the jobber's salesmen or given to our salesmen, 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 Vapo Rub, we will ship you by Parcel Post, prepaid, quantities not more than three (3) dozen soc size in any one order. Naturally, we can't open ac- counts at this time, so your check or money order for this amount must accompany order. Don't write us stating to ship thru your jobber, as we then have to wait until we write this jobber and get his o. K. If you wish the goods to come thru your johber, have him order them for you.

LEAPS OUT BALLOON
AS BULLETS WHIZ

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 21.-
Lieut. Sam Moore, Of Springfield,
Mass, formerly a reporter on the
Springfield Union, was attacked by
eight boche aviators while on balloon
observation duty on the Argonne-
Aeuse front and escaped safely by a
parachute leap. The lieutenant was
constantly under the fire of the en-
envy sviators while the parachute
was descending, but he did not re-
cetve a scratch. 1t was the second
time he had been forced to leap for
his life from a balloon.
Moore has had many thrilling ex-
per1ences since he became a balloon
observer. During the trouble on the
Mexican border he contracted a hank
ering for military life while stationed
near Columbus, N. NJ
Although reluctant about discuss
ing his experiences, he finally warm
ed up and declared balloon observing
has a shade on the newspaper game
for excitement"
The day of my biggest adventure
as an observer was as clear as crys-
tai" he said. THE front was active
in our sector, and had been bobbing
at the end of a steel cable scanning
the front for hours when suddenly
spotted an enemy plane driving at
me at terrific speed
%It's a queer feeling 10 be UP there
an alone between 1 400 and 1900 me-
tiers IN the air with those guys COM
ing at you as swift as swallows. This
boche was getting pretty close when
a friendly plane darted from behind
me and engaged the enemy plane in
a duel The boche's machine went
UP in flames, and he went down.
HOn the level, I cheered our bird
man at the top OF my lungs. It was
silly, for Of course he couldn't hear
me, but I just had to give vent to
my feeling Of joy at seeing the boche
tumble.
Thirty minutes later more trouble
broke Eight enemy planes came
iocking about me, and 1 had to
jump"
