Camp at Seattle. is back in Bethany
He writes:
THE old company of militia from

badly cut up. You know that Chuck

RETAILERS CAN GET IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS DIRECT BY
 PARCEL POST.

Jhis advertisement is written on Monday, October, 21st. It is direct ed to the attention Of all distributors 0. Vick's VapoRub, both wholesale sh'd retail. In an emergency such as the present epidemic-our duty and your duty-is to distributeVapo- Rub in the quickest possible manner to those sections stricken by influ- enzs. We, therefore, call your care full attention to the following: BA NGEK OF SHORTAGE IF
 SUPPLY IS NOT CONSERVED
 On October 1st we had on hand, at our factory and in twenty, warehouses scattering over the country suffi cient 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 accumyHteN during the summer months.
 Then this epig gemic of Spanish 1n- fluenza hit Hand in t& &e last ten days this stock has va4ished. At first we thought this trenendous de- mand would last only af few days. bu: the orders have run:k Wed, iOcA 16......... ,504 Doz

 Up to Saturday,sDetober 18th, we have actually ,shfkped for this month $4oo, ,2s4.1o. < aser two million jars of VapoRp6.
 THE PR6DLEM IS HOW TO DIS-
 TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY
 Most of this tremendous quantity is still en route to the jobbers, but trieght and express are both con- gested nowadays, and it may De , some time before this supply reaches the jobbers. In the meantime therefore, it is necessary that we distribute, as widely as possible, the | stock that we are manufacturing da:ly, together with that now on the 1 juf bers' and retailers shelves, in or der that it may get to the Influenza districts quickly. Our normal out put is about 4O00 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be litttle while before that is producing.
 WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLE
 SALE DRUGGIST TO DO Last Saturday we notified all of our jobbers by Special Delivery, as follows:
 1st. Deals and quantity shipments of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no quantity orders of any kind, Wheth- CT taken by our salesmen or your own. Sell in small lots only.

BABY WEEK IN AUSTRALIA IS
 A BIG EVENT

The sun never sets on Baby weeks. The Childrens Bureau of the II. s. Department of Labor has just re- ceived from western Australia a re- port of their Baby week and Child Welfare exhibition, which was held in Perth, the capital city Australia is far to the fore in social legislation, so it is natural to find her taking an intelligent interest in her babies.
 The Woman's Service Guild, which conducted the conference, wished to show What we are doing for the children" What we are not doing for the children" and What we ought to do for the children The exhibition was under the patronage of the governor and was held in the supper room of the government house. There were exhibits Cu the causes of infant mortality, the care of the new born baby, the care of the sick baby, the care of the teeth, and many other subjects including the Australian yer sion of the Swatthe-fly movement, |, translated into less coloquial but equally relentless Kill that fly"
 There were many lectures to sup ptement the exhibits. Men and wo- men prominent in the state and the iState unicersity lent their best eff forts to make the conference a sue cess. "The importance of a pure milk supply" Why babies die" "The i fly and the baby" are typical of the subjects discussed. ! The Guild is also planning a health conference similar to those held by the Childrens Bureau during the Chi!dren's Year campaign in which over 6,O0O,00O babies were weighed and measured. Many of the health conferences conducted here in con- nection with Children's Year have been made, permanent health centers for follow-up work. Other ways of making children we'll and keeping them we'll have been adopted in the United States-public ie,-]tn nurses, fairgrounds. motor clinics, and the | like
 | The Guild has appointed an Ameri- can correspondent, who will keep Australians informed as to what the United States is doing to make the world healthful place for children to live in, and who will inform us of Australian plans and ideas. Aside from the mutual frliendship and good feeling inspired. this correspondence should have a very practical value, for the two countries cannot fair to be productive of excellent ideas in regard to child welfare and mutually helpful in their application

 SPANISH INFLUENZA
 We will send on request, to any retail druggist 100 for morA little Lccalets, just issued, on Spanish Influenza, giving the latest informa- tion about this disease-its history tho symptoms-the treatment, and particularly the use of Vick's Vapo- Rub as an external application to supplement the physicians treat ment.
 NEW WAYS TO, USE vAPORUB ln addition to the usual method of using VapoRub-that is applied over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel cloths-our custom- CTS are writing us daily telling of their success in using VapoRub in other, way, particularly as a prevent ative. They melt a little in spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt i. in benzoin steam kettle. Where the steam kettle is not available. VapoRub can be used in an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill the tea-kettle half full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VaploRub from time to titne-keep the kettle just slowly boil- ing and inhale the, steam arising.
 According to a bulletin just issued by the Public Health 4stService, Dr. Stiles of this seEvice recommends that the nose be kept greased as 2 preventative measure against the influenza germs. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent.

USE LOWER GRADE
Agreement Reached at Meeting Yes. terday for No More Consumption
 of High Grade Gotten.

Washington, Oct. 29.-In line with the governments announced policy to force a greater use of the lower grades of cotton, thereby stabilizing the price, manufacturers of cotton fabrics for the army and navy will hereafter discontinue consumption of more higher grades than necessary, using grades below middling.
 The cotton distribution committee announced today that this agreement was made at a meeting of represen- tatives of the army and navy, war in- dustries board and national council of cotton manufacturers.
 Fabrics manufactured on govern ment contracts will be judged by their strength, serviceability and suitabil- ity for purposes intended rather than by the grade of cotton used ill their manufacture. This will apply also to goods made for the public.
