hostilities. Vocational training, al- ready undertaken, must be further developed, having in mind not only the training of the youth of the coun- try, but also with a view to the needs of those who have been injured or dis abled In the war. We shall be con fronted, in probably much changed aspect, with the question of employer and employe. It is highly essential
 that there shall be established ba-
 sis which shall make the recurring
 conflicts between capital and labor no
 longer a disturbing element in the
 life of America. The ultimate status
 O: the public utilities and essential
 war industries taken over by the gov
 ernment during the war period must
 be fixed and their relation to the life
 of our people must be determined.
 Foreign trade must be developed and
 the methods of taxation must come
 under the closest scrutiny. All the
 activities of our country must be
 freshened and renewed after this
 period of sacrifice and stress. Il
 must be a stimulated, not an ex-
 plotted, development. The best thought of America must be concen- trated on this great business so that the future may afford an increasingly better lot for the generations yet un- | born. This is the task to which I America must address herself in the

of statesmanship. The Bill provid- to take over enemy-owned and ene- my-controlled property was a con structive measure of the highest con sequence. The establishment of the War Trade Board has proved Of great service, not only to our own country, but to our Allies as well. The establishment of War Risk Insurance was another evidence of the alert ness and foresight of the Administra- tion. The establishment of Tariff Commission was another measure or statesmanship, well calculated to re- move the discussion of tariff sched- ules from the domain of politics. The Ship Purchase Act and the Merchant Marine Law, so bitterly opposed by reactionary Republicans, have proved of enormous benefit to America and promise to make America supreme upon the seas during the reconstruc- ton period following the war. The Smith-Lever Act was another meas- ure of wise statesmanship. The laws passed with reference to labor and in the interest Of workingmen and workingwomen evidence the concern which the Administration feels for | the social betterment of our people. | Vocational education has now be- come a fact under laws adopted by a Democratic Congress. It is gratify- 1 ing to observe the manner in which the Treasury Department has been
 handled, the Liberty Loans fioated l and the credit of America strengthen | n1l, hac aiT n | tained the high standard of American | diplomacy and our international rec
 ord in the period leading up to and | during the war will constitute forever | a, glorious page of American history | Without exception, the other depart. ments of the government have like

 On October 1st we had on hand, at our Factory and in twenty warehouses scattered over the country, sufficient VapoRub to last us, we thought, until January 1st allowing for a 50 per cent. increase over last years sales, and not counting our daily output. This big excess stock had been ac- cumulated 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 thought this tremendous demand would last only a few days, but the orders have run:
