A Portrait Of Trotzky the Man.
From Asia.

rum AsiA.
He is tall. strong, angular; his an
pearance as we'll as his speech gives
the impression of boldness and visor
His voice is high tenor ringing with
mettle. And even in his quiet moments
he resembles compressed spring.
He is always on the aggressive He
is full of passion---that white-heated
vibrating mental passion that charac-
terizes the intellectual Jew. On the
platform. as well as in private life,
he bears an air. of peculiar impor-
tance. an indefinable something that
says very distinctly: Here is a man
who knows his value and feels himself
chosen for superior aims" Yet Trotzky
is not imposing. He is modest. He is
detached. Back in the depths of his
dark eyes there is a lingering sadness.

The war has given the horse a new

lets, Just issued, on Spanish Influenza,
giving the latest information about
this disease--its history-the symp-
toms-the treatment, and particularly
the use Of vick's vapoRub as an ex-
ternal application to supplement the
physicians treatment.
NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRUB.
In addition to the usual method Of
using vapoRub-that ls applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
hot flannel cloths--our customers are
writing us daily telling Of their sue
cess in using VapoRub in other ways,
particularly as preventive. They
melt little in a spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt 1t In benzoin
steam kettle. Where the steam kettle
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 tlme-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
According to a Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service, DIR.
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose VapoRub
is excellent-just put a little up the
nostrils from time to time and snuff
well back into the air passages.

Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed to
the attention Of all distributors Of
Vlck's vapoRub. both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such Is the
present epidemic-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 October LIST we had on hanl. at
our Factory and in twenty warehouses
scattered over the country. sufficient
yapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January LIST, 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
fuenza 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. 10. 80. 1854 doc.
Thur, Oct. II. 49,. rs, 1923 doz.
Fri, Oct. 18. -. .89,256 doz.
Sat-, Oct. 80. 1888 doz.
Mon, Oct. 81. .77,705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
800, 2S4 10, or over two million Jars
Of yapoRub. s
THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS.
TRIBUTE vAPoRuB 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,
It 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 1t may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1000 dozen
per day. We are putting on a night
shift, but It will be little while be-
fore that is producing.

CAREFULLY LOOK OVER SEED
Corn Should Be Graded Before II Is

prepared by the United States Depart

Shelled corn is not easily graded
and all seed corn should therefore be
looked over carefully before the ears
are shelled. The grading is done TO
secure uniformity of size and shape
in each lot of kernels, so that they Will
be dropped evenly from the compliant

seed.
IF the seed ears vary as to size OF
kernel they should be separated INTO
two or three grades. according TO the
tvne of grain they bear. These grades
should be shelled separately-alWaEs
