This advertisement is written on
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed to
the attention Of all distributors Of
VIck's VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such as the
present epldemic-Our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute vapoRub In the
quickest possible manner to those see
tions stricken by Influenza. We. there
fore, call your careful attention TO the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP.
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On OclOber 1st we had on hnnh, nt
our Factory and In twenty warehouses
scattered over the country, sufficient
yapoRub 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 biz
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fucnza 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. 1864 doz.
Thur, Oct. II. ......2 .25.323 doz.
Fri, Oct, S......30,2 ,25G doz.
Sat, Oct. 9......45,S33 doz,
Mon, Oct 21......77,705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
800, ,2S4.10, or over two million jars
of VapoRub.
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 II may be some
time before this supply reaches the
jobbers. In the meantime, therefore,
II Is necessary that we distribute, as
widely ms possible, the stock that we
are manufacturing daily, together with
that now on the lobbers' and retailers
shelves, in order that II may get 10
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output Is about 1000 dozen
per day. We are putting on n night
shift, but II will be little while be
fore that Is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE

Technical Men to Begin Work for
 New Boiler Laws
tcontinued from Page Five,

demned a boiler plant in Baltimore, and the owner put in a new boiler, selling the old one as a secondhand boiler, and it was installed in a factory on the east ern shore. About six months later the boiler blew up, killing six people out right and seriously injuring several others and causing considerable prop erty damage. The workmens compen- sation bureau of the state is now work ing on this loss
 By January l. 1918, the A. s. NJ. E. code han been adopted by nine states, namely: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan. Wisconsin, Min nesota and California.
 It had also been adopted by four cities: Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo. and the action of these cities will undoubtedly cause the states in which they are located to adopt the code at nearly date.
 The campaign to promote the universal adoption of the A. s. M. E. code had progressed actively and the following states are expected to pass the necessary enabling act at the coming session of their respective legislatures: Georgia Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis- sippi. Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vir- ginia, Montana and Iowa.
 The Alabama Technical association strongly urges the enactment of laws to govern the construction of boilers to be used in Alabama and the adoption of the A. S. M. E. code as the standard of such rules. Such procedure is strictly in accordance with the aims of the associa- ton, which are to promote engineering practice as exemplifed by the most mod ern and best ideas.

NEGRO FOUR-MINUTE
 MEN MAKE TALKS
Over 300 Present at Masonic Meeting
 at Pythian Temple

The four-minute men among the negroes of this district are rapidly whipping their organization together. Last night a number of their speakers made their first attempt at four minute speech, and the reports are that they made good and stirred their au- diences with the plans of the War Savings Stamps campaign. Prof. F. D. Davis spoke at the Champion theatre; J. O. Diffay at the Savoy theatre, and E. A Brown, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the four minute speakers, spoke at the New Queen theatre. These men told the people that they were representing the United States government, and that every woman and child was expected 10 pledge their support and support the government in the purchase of the War Savings Stamps
 At an annual banquet of the Masonic i order of this district where 300 men assembled on the fifth floor of the

When he had finished speaking the chairman, James Byrd, called for a vote, and every man stood with en- thusiasm to support the government. sign the pledge cards and buy War Savings Certificates. P. D. Davis, one of the active workers among the four minute men, introduced Adams and told ofAthe organiza ton of the colored four minute men. Adams seemed to have the facts at fingers end, and closed his address within three minutes.
 The negro four-minute men will have an instruction meeting Friday night of this week. White friends will be pres ent, as they were last Friday night, and give instruction and samples of four-minute addresses.
