SAVINKOFF HEADS
 MISSION TO FRANCE

Pekin, Nov. 13-Gen. Boris Savin- koff, former Minister Of War in the Kerensky cabinet, has left Shanghai on his way to France by way of the Suez Canal at the head of a military mission from the new All-Russian government. The mission left Petro- grad early in July, when, according to Gen. Savinkoff. the population of the Russian capital had been reduced from 5000, 900 to 100000. The in dustrial situation was bad, he said, and the people were on starvation ra- tions.
 He declared that Russia soon will have an army of 25O. 900, but that it is lacking in equipment and looks to the Allies to supply this need. Gen. Savinkoff directed the anti-Bo1shevi& insurrection at Yaroslav, in north Volgoda, in July with the object of di- verting the BolshevilHi from the Allied

KEEP LO(NING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young - to do this you must watch your liver and bowels - there's no need of having sallow complexion - dark rings under your eyes = pimples - bilious look in your face - dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in- active bowels and liver.
 Dr, Edwards, well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, wlich he gave to his patients for years.
 pr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi. tute for calornel, are gentle in their action yet alwaya effective. They bring about that ezuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should b.. enjoyed by everyone, by touing up the liver and clear 1ng the system of impurities.

LYRIC

Exporting the white slave traffic and showing vividly and interestingly how young women are lured from their homes and friends to life of shame the Poli Players are attracting un- usual attention this week at the Lyric theater. "The Girl Without a Chance" is one of the most thrilling dramas of the present age and there is not an idle moment throughout tho four acts which comprise the pres entation- Right from the rise of the curtain until its final thud the au- dience is held spel1bound as the white slayers are seen trying to accomplish the downfall of the heroine and an audible sigh of relief is heard as the williams are foi1ed by the friends o: the girl
 While the entire production is in tended to be of serious nature there Is enough comedy interwoven to pro- duce a laugh at the right moment The scenic effects are beautiful ana realistic, depicting scenes in Italy and America, some of which are wei known to the average person. IT the first act villa in Italy is shown followed by a representation of a DO lice station in New York city in the ! second act. The third act shows 2 basement living room where povert, stands out prominently and the las act shows the distinction betweer this home and the home of Big An i nie," the procuress, who is the specia agent for the white slavers.
 Perhaps the heaviest work in tti 1 production falls to the lot of 2Iis Alice Clements, the leading woman who is seen in two separate charac ters In the first act she is seen a the little Italian girl who falls a vic tim to the wi1es of rich American and in the other acts she portrays al innocent Italian girl whom the shaver are trying to bend to their will C1a, Clement, as newspaper reporter does some excellent work and assist in saving the girl from the machina tons of the band of white slavers.

THREE MILLION JARS SHIPPED DURING
 OCTOBER

On Monday, October 21, we ad- dressed an advertisement to the wholesale and retail drug trade, ad- v1sing that we were badly oversold, due to the influenza epidemic. stating that all deals and quantity shipments were postponed, and requesting that NapoRHb be purchased in small lots only. This condition still prevails.
 At this writing we have back orders for eighteen thousand (18,OO0) gross and our orders each day are double our daily output. The epidemic, how ever, is decreasing in most sections, the demand is slackening and we are working night and day to catch up. In the meantime, we ask the trade to be patient with us.
 ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE
 WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCKS
 On October 1st we had on hand at the factory and in twenty warehouses over the country a 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- torys output as quickly as possible. We have, therefore, for the time be- ing abandoned freight shipments and are shipping either by Parcel Post ol express trying to give each jobber at least a little stock.
 IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO
 DRUGGISTS IN INFLUENZA
 DISTRICTS
 Preference is being given to those sections stricken by influenza In order to reach these sections as quickly as can be, we are, during this emergency, making shipments by Par eel Post, direct, to the retail trade, of not more than three (3) dozen soc size. in any one shipment. We prefer that the jobbers order these ship ments for their trade, but to save time we will if the need is urgent, ship di- rect on receipt of check or money or der. Naturally, no new accounts can be opened during this rush.

KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY IN-
 HALING VAPORUR

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 Vapo Rub at once. Melt a 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 boil ing and inhale the steam arising.

HOW TO USE VICKs VAPORUB AS
 A PREVENTIVE

It is questionable if there is any, thing which will prevent Spanish In- 1luenza, except avoiding those persons who are spreading the disease by coughing, sneezing 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 passages be coated with a weak solu- ton of Menthol in liquid petroleum as a protective. For this purpose Vapo Rub is excellent. Just put small portion up each nostril from time to time during the day and snuff well back into the head

on request. We will also be glad to mai to any individual one of these booklets, together with a quarter ounce sample, free. HOW TO USE vAPORUB IN TREATING SPANISH INFIUENZA
 In every case call a physician NapoRub should be used only in con nectlon 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 " 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 passages open, loosen the phlegm and make the breathing easier. In addition, Vapo Rub is absorbed through and stimu- lates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.

to a minimum. At each operating station
there will be large built-in wall-map of
the system, as a whole or in part, with NOV
able wooden pegs to show the position of
each train. If a collision were to occur, no
body would be hurt because there would be
no one on board
But there will be no collisions special and
effective means being adopted to prevent
such accidents. The trains being unnamed,
much loss of lives-such as now occurs
among trainmen, owing to various mishaps-
will be avoided. Incidentally, cost of opera
ton will be greatly cheapened, inasmuch as
there will be no wages to be paid to fremen,
br0kemen and engineers.
Mr.. Stuart railroad is operated-like
the British system already described
through the medium of third rail that runs
the entire length of the trackway. A train
is set at the starting point for any route it
is desired to take, and in this respect re-
quireS no further control. If routed" for
a place that is on a branch line, it turns off
of its own accord when it reaches the branch
BY an arrangement of electric contacts
the movement of the train is so controlled
from the operating station that it will stop
wherever desired At each town or hamlet
an indicator shows whether an approaching
train will stop there or pass by. Trains are
started, accelerated, slowed down, or backed
at the will of the operator, who may be 100
or 200 miles away. Means are provided for
preventing collisions at junction-points, and
for automatically restarting any train held
up at junction to allow another to pass
In March of 1912 the line was inspected
by Herbert Samuels, then Postmaster Gen
eral of England. As a result of the showing
made IN the operation of trains he intro
duced a bill in the British Parliament in
1913 calling for an appropriation of one mil
lion, one hundred thousand pounds for the
construction of a line in London six and a
quarter miles long, from Paddington to
Whitechapel.
This line was to be used for the transport

House of Commons held
a series of open hearings. 1t was shown
that the Stuart system had been satlsfact-
orily demonstrated
The contract for the tunnel for the rail-
way was let in 1914, and work was started
just before the war broke out. 1t is now
about finished but owing to the war no con-
tract has been made for equipment, which
involves electrical work that would trespass
on war industry.
''The system" SAYS Mr.. Stuart, twas de-
signed primarily for post office work, but it
has wide field of usefulness in handling of
freight in cities and also for the transport
of coal and ores from the working face to
breakers or tipples. Millions of tons Of coal
and other ores located in rough mountain
country have never been worked because of
the difficulty of transporting from the work
ing surfaces to the tipples. 1t has been I'M
possible or too expensive to build standard
gauge roads, and in some sections even mar
row gauge has been prohibitive owing to the
grades and the cost or impOsSlbillC of Oper
ating on them. But with the automatic con-
troll system grades are only a matter of
power and the system can be built TO any
gauge II can be laid out in the sharpest
kinds of curves without the slightest danger
of accident.
The Bureau or commercial ECONOMIES or
Washington is showing moving picture film
of the demonstration line in operation for
educational purposes.
Another suggestion for an automatic rail
road comes from E. Moody Boynton, of
West Newbury, Mass. The BOynton cars
travel on one rail, but are held erect by
engaging another rail overhead. Electricity
furnishes the motive power and the control,
the railway being automatic in its operation.
The inventor claims that it would furnish
transportation from New York to Denver
in twenty hours For passengers he sug-
gests double-deck csrs-built in two stories,
that is to say, with seats-Or berth seats
on both floors, or with smoking room up
aloft. Lest this idea be deemed absurd, at
tention may be called TO the fact that cleo
trio street railroads in some of our cities are
even now experimenting with two-story
cars. which can carry twice the ordinary
number of people-the second floor being
reached by stair at the back

crewless trains for rapid distribution of
freight-food, fuel and other commodities.
The ears are about eight feet long three
feet high and three feet wide. They are
driven and controlled by electricity and are
capable of a speed of 200 miles an hour.
One of these trains could make the trip be-
tween Chicago and New York in six hours.
The distance from New Orleans to New
York could be covered in less than twelve.
Think of the advantage gained where per
