Too Much for the Skunk.
Mr.. Cackle Berry vouches for the fol-
lowing story: !,
A Frenchman, an Englishman, an
Irishman and a German prisoner were
In an argument AZ to which was the
bravest.
A Yank overheard the controversy
and decided to settle 1t. Pointing to
nearby poultry house, he told them
that there was a skunk inside and
asked the Irishman to step inside and
see how long he could stand it.
Pat did as he was told. In five min
utes he came out. The Englishman fol-
lowed, but he stood it only four min
utes. The Frenchman next tried it,
but five minutes was enough for him.
1t was the Germans turn. He went
in and the others waited. The minutes
passed = O-three-fOur-fiv
-six-seven. but no German. Eight
minutes ten-the skunk came out.

The New Suit.

The country boy had come to visit
his city friends, and before leaving
home his mother had spent much time
on his wardrobe. but he soon saw that
things were not quite right.
At small party given in his honor
he remained firmly fixed in a corner.
At last his hostess. thinking to make
him feel more at ease, said: How nice
you look, William; who made your
suit?" From the depths came the re-
ply: Mother, blame it!'

This advertisement Is written on
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed to
the attention Of all distributors Of
yjck's VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such as the
present epiden.ic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapORub In the
quickest possible manner to those Sec
tons stricken by Influenza. We. there
FORE call your careful attention to the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP.
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On Oc,ober LIST we had on haha. ut
our Factory and in twenty warehouses
scattered over the country. sufficient
VapoRub to last US, we thought, until
January 1st, allowing for 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
fluenza hit us-and in the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only few days, but the
orders have run:
Wed, Oct. 16. 1854 doz.
Thur. Oct. IT,. .25.323 doz.
Fri, Oct, 49,. 49,. 80. 256 doz.
Sat-. Oct. 10. 49,. 1888 doz.
Mon, Oct. p. .....77,7O5 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10Th, we
have actually shipped for this month
$500, 2841O, or over two million Jars
Of vapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW Is TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPoRU8 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 it may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1900 dozen
per day. We are putting on a night
shift. but 1t will be little while be-
fore that is producing.

DRUGGIST TO DO.

NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRUe.
In addition to the usual method OF
using vapoRub-that is, applied over

particularly as preventive. They
melt little in spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt 1t In benzoin

is not available, vapoRub can be used
: in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle 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.
: According to Bulletin just issued

REV. R. Y. MIL[ER'S
SERVICES POPULAR

The services of Rev. r. V. Miller
at the Methodist church last week
were highly appreciated. Each serv-
ice was we'll attended by both home
people and visitors who were anxious
to hear Mr.. Niller's able Bible lee
lures.
The liberal offering testified to the
pepulsrity of the services, the church
authorities having turned over to Mr.
Miller s12S.0O, S1O2.34 of which were
free viii offerings in Mr. Miller's en-
velopes, and $16.95 loose collections,
after paving all expenses.
The following contribution from
Sam T. Hodges is of interest in this
connection:
Beginning Sunday evening, Aug.
25th, and continuing each evening,
except Saturday, and closing Sunday
evening, Sept LIST, Rev. R. V. Miller,
of HendersonviTle, has given series
of Bible readings which have afford
ed a rare treat to the large congre-
cations who were fortunate to hear
him.
MIR. Miller has an international re-
putation as a Bible student second to
none in the world.
''He is in great demand but always
arranges to give the people of his
home city one week in each summer.
He goes to Canada, to the Moody BIZ

the Word expounded.
His address Friday evening, in
which he traced the Prophetic hand
to the present World War and went
over into the future, was very in
structive, helpful and comforting and
the closing sermon on Sunday even

46 wears old he has to register. Un-
less he is Is years old he does not

not have to register if he is past the
IS years old mark.

exemption board calls attention to the
fact that if a person is sick he should
notify the registrar that some one
NAV be deputiZed to visit and proper
" register him. All men away from
their homes should register with
their nearest local board four or five
davs in advance and mail their regis
tratiOn card together with addressed
and stamped eneveIope to his own

mail such persons registration certifi-
