CAPITAL WAKES
UP TO FIND WAR
NOT YET over
Washington Crowds Refuse
to Believe Denial Of State
Department and Celebrate
Joyously.
,By Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. Nov. Smashing
ton awoke this morning to find that
Ms wild celebration yesterday after
noon and last night In the belief that
the war had ended was premature.
Upon scanning the headlines Of the
morning newspapers. weary war work
ers and citizens generally who had
been participants In demonstration
such as Washington has seldom seen,
found that fighting on the western
front had not been halted, and that If
the German armistice ENJOYS had
passed through the French lines to
meet Marshal Foch, no news OF the
event had come from Paris or London.
Those who read further found Off
cial denials OF the report printed in
extra and subsequent editions OF an
afternoon newspaper yesterday that
an armistice had been signed at IL
o'clock yesterday morning, Paris time,
and that hostilities had ceased three
hours later.
1t was this report which had started
the demonstration shortly after noon.
Publication In regular and extra edl-
lions of another afternoon newspaper
of an announcement by Secretary Ian
sing that the armistice had not been
signed did not halt the celebration for
the unconfrmed news spread far more
rapidly than did the denials.
Officials Hold Vigil.
Employees of government depart
ments, most OF them girls and women
here from distant cities, for war work,
rushed pell nell to the street at the
first spreading of the report to join
in impromptu parades on foot behind

trucks. Many of them were without
hats or coats, despite the chill Novem-
Der weather AS night came on, they
were joined by o. the young. singing
masses of soldiers from nearby camps,
yard workers, sailors, store employees
and residents Of the suburbs who came
70 town to join in or to watch the
demonstration. Sidewalks on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, the scene Of many jubi-
lations, were crowded and jammed
until nearly midnight with seething
mass Of humanity. Men and women
sang or cheered, footed horns, rang
cowbells and operated other noise
making devices. Automobiles, motor
cycles and trucks, army and CONNER
cial, loaded down with people and pass
ing constantly up and down the ove-
nue. from the capitol to the treasury
with horns blowing inseccantly, added
to the general din.
While the demonstration continued,
officials Of the state and war depart
ments and the committee on public in
formation remained on duty SO that
the public might receive Immediately
news of the signing Of the armistice
If such information came Their all
night vigil was unrewarded.

THREE MILLION JARS
SHIPPED DURING
OCTOBER

On Monday, October 81, we ad-
dressed an advertisement to the
wholesale and retail drug trade, adj
vising that we were badly oversold,
due to the influenza epidemic, stating
that all deals and quantity shipments
were postponed, and requesting that
VapoRub be purchased in small lots
only. This condition still prevails.
At this writing we have back or
ders for eighteen thousand Q8,OOO)
gross and our orders each day are dou-
BILE our daily output. The epidemic,
however, is decreasing in most Sec
tions, the demand is slackening and
we are working night and day 20
catch up. In the meantime, we ask
The trade to be patient with us.
ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE
WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCKS
On October list we had on hand at
the factory and in twenty warehouses
over the country tremendous stock
of VapoRub, 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 distribute the fac
tory's output as quickly as possible.
We have, therefore, for the time be-
ing, abandoned freight shipments and
are shipping either by Parcel Post OF
express-trying to give each jobber at
least little stock.
IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO DRUG
GlSTS IN INFLUENZA DIS
TRIcTS
Preference is being given to those
sections stricken by influenza. In or
der to reach these sections as quickly
as can be, we are, during this emerg-
ency, making shipments by Parcel
Post, direct, to the retail trade, OF not
more than three (S) dozen soc size
in any one shipment. We prefer that
the jobbers order these shipments for
their trade. but to save time we will, il
the need is urgent, ship direct on re-
ceipt of check or money order. Nat
urally, no new accounts can be opened
during this rush

DRUGGISTS STILL ASKED TO
CONSERVE STOCK OF VAPORUB
NEEDED IN FLU" DISTRICTS
Influenza Epidemic Decreasing in Most Sections and the
Demand is Sackening But We Are Still 900 Gross Be-
hind on Orders and Will Take Some Time to Catch up

these will be forwarded to druggists
on request. We will also be glad to
mail to any individual one of these
booklets, together with quarter
ounce sample, free.
HOW TO USE VAPORUB IN TREAT
ING SPANISH INFLUENZA
In every case call a physician
VapcRub should be used only in con-
nection 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 thick
ly and cover with hot flannel cloths.
Leave the bed-covering loose around
the neck, as the body heat releases
the ingredients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, 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 pass
ages open, loosen the phlegm and
make the breathing easier. In addi-
ton, VapoRub is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids in
relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO USE vIck'S vAPoRUB AS
A PREVENTATIVE
1t is questionable if there Is any
thing which will prevent Spanish in
fluenza, except avoiding those persons
who are spreading the disease by
coughing, ssneezing 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 nasal
ton of Menthol in liquid petroleum as
protective. For this purpose Vapo-
Rub Is excellent. Just put small por-
ton up each nostril from time to
time during the day and snuff we'll
back into the head.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY IN
HALlNG 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
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, very good substitute
to use is an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill
half full of boiling water-put in half
teaspoon of VapoRub from time to
time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.

MEX|CANS SEE

ANTI-AMERlCAN, GERMAN PA
PERS IN MEXICO CITY CARRIED
FALSE AND ALARMING RE-
PORTS THAT ARE LIES
TAMPICO SEIZURE FAKE
(By Associated Press1

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 2S.-False and
alarming reports being printed by anti
American, Pro-German papers here. are
beginning TO prove something of a boom
erang, despite the clever loopholeS left
for papers to crawl through when suhse-
quent events prove their accusations
gronndlesS. So often have the German
propagandiSts cried ''wolf' without that
animal appearing. that even those Mexi-
cans most distrustful of the United States
are beginning To doubt not only the accu-
racy Of stories aimed AT fomcniing trou-
BILE with Uncle Sam. but the entire con
tents of their cable messages.
Recently one paper announced under
big headlines that American troops were
on the point of being landed at Tampico.
They were not landed. however, and the
paper forced to drop this lead. seeming
ly having neglected to frame mn explana-
tion in advance should iiS news prove
false. Later. however, this defect was
remedied. This time il was Canada and
Cuba, insticated by the United States. who
were to seize various Gulf of Mexico ports
IO prevent Il tuftNttHtl ''lihstH
rine campaign in the gulf against entente
oil tankerS from Tampico.
The fact that the ports were not seized
was explained by the newspapers n due
to the fact that secrecy was necessary
to the plot. and that these papers. have
exposed the conspiracy, made it, success
full completion impossible.
In addition to playing up in extras these
wild yarns, these papers print. with dis
tortions and misleading headlines. every
piece of news that can be twisted into in
timating that the United States is con
sanity scheming to secure pretext to
occupy either all of Mexico or the Tam
pico oil regions. The predominant tone
of the journal is anti American, rather
than openly pro- German. although To pc
ruse their news columns would lead the
reader TO believe that the entente allies
every day were on the very point of CIV
ing up the struggle.
