cided that Mrs. Leoniff's blanche was
really her child, and Mrs. Leoniff
didn't know what to think. There were
consultations, investigation and ques-
tioning Of hospital records and physi-
clans, but the only information to be
gained there was the stereotyped hos
pital reply, that 1t was not possible
that any hospital attache or hospital
could make a mistake. SO the matter
was carried to Magistrate Healy, who
examined the hospital and other wit
nesses, drove the hospital physician to
admit that an exchange might have Oc-
CURED there, although he still clung to
the general proposition that mistakes"
and "hOspital' are terms not to be put
together, and then, after he had made
some investigations on his. own initia-
tive, the magistrate awarded the Le-
Oniff baby to Mrs. Felner and the Eel
ner child to Mrs. Leoniff He did this
because there was striking resemblance
between the one child and a twelve
year-Old boy of the Leoniff family, and
between the other baby and her mother.

Same Old Story.

Chicago.-Jacob Smith of Kalama-
zoo, Mich, said he didn't mind losing
$4,000 on horse, had it been in a
race, but to find later that the entry
he backed did not even start was
going a bit too. strong.
He was the victim of two men down
in Laureldale, Fla. They introduced
him to six other race horse fans, who
placed $4,000 on a certain horse,
Smith understood. This looked good
to him, so he put up $4,000, Exit

This advertisement Is written or
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed tt
the attention of oil distributors Of
Vck's VapoRuh, both wholesale ant
retail. In an emergency such os the
present epidemic-our duty-and youl
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
quickest possible n to those sec
tons stricken by Influenza. We, there
fore, call your careful attention Il the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP.
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on hanl. al
our Factory and In twenty warehouses
scattered over the country, sufficient
VapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January list, 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
luenza hit us-and in the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only a few days. but the
orders have run:
Wed, Oct. IS. 49, 04 doz.
Thur, Oct. II. .....2 5,323 doz.
Fri, Oct, IS. ..39.256 doz.
Sat-, Oct. 10. ..45.S33 doz.
Mon, Oct. q. .....7 z, 705 doz.
Up to Saturday. October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
$400,284.10. or over two million jars
Of vapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW Is TO DIS
TRIBUTE vAPo9UB QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity Is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays. and 1t 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 1t 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 q little while be-
fore that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO.

jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol-

SENATE TO CLEAN Up
OF WAR LEGISLATION
BOrah Wants Haywood Pun
ished, Says He Has Taken
Eighteen Lives
By L G. Martin
lited Press staff correspondent

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Mar. 21-Under urge
from the war department, the senate
today began a swift cleanup of wa
legislation which has been on its cal.
endar for weeks.
The first to be considered is that
granting President Wilson power to
commander standing timber and to di
rect logging operations in the interest
,Of speedier production of the timber
needed for airplane and ship construc'
tion.
Among other bills on which action
was sought was sought today was the
resolution providing for draft regula-
tion of all men who have become 81
since the fifth of last June; another
providing that officers in field service
shall receive the same Communication of
uuarters as those not in field service;
another s%uspending certain restrictions
in purchas of military supplies, with
several of minor Importance which the
department requires to carry out de-
tails of its program without delay.
Senator Chamberlain also introduced
today at the request of Acting Secre-
ltary of War Crowell a bill which would
permit the president to take over any
Tor all of the personal, real or mixed
property of any citizen of the United
States for the use of the government
i'm the war emergency. The purpose of
this measure is to allow the comman-
deering of housing facilities in any
place they are needed and cannot other
wise be obtained.
The Overman empowering bill was
reported to the senate by Senator Ov-
erman.
During discussion of the timber com
Wandering bill, Senator Jones OF
Washington and Borah denounced the
j. W. W. for interference with logging
operations in the northwest. Borah at
tackled "Big Bill" Haywood I. W. w.
aeader. He demanded the governments
punish Haywood, who, he said, "has
been a professional criminal criminal
for 80 years or more. He has taken at
least Is lives. The government has ev'
idence."
