WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL

Buy in as small quantities as possi"
Bile. If you have any quantity orders,
given the jobber's statesmen or given
to our statesmen, don't bother about
them-no need to write us-it is abso-
lutely impossible to fill these orders
at this tine. If the jobhers in your
territory are out of Vick's VapoRub.
we will ship you by Parcel Post, pre-
paid, quantities not more than three
(3) dozen 30c size In any one order.
Naturally, we can't open accounts at
this time, so your check or money or
der for this amount must accompany
order. Don't write us stating to ship
thru your jobber, as we then have to
wait until we write this iobber and get
his o. K. If you wish the goods to
come thru your jobber, have him order
them for you.

Our force has already been "shot to
pieces"-twenty-four Of our men are
wearing Uncle Sans khaki--and this
recent rush has simply buriec us. All
our sales force has been called in to

SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH
INFLUENZA.
We will send, on request, to any re-
tail druggist, 100 or more little book
let's, just issued, on Spanish Influenza,
giving the latest information about
this disease-its history-the sy1np-
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 Is, 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 a little in spoon ard inhale the
vapors arising, or melt it in a 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 tims
to time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
According to a Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service, Or.
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose VapoRub
is excellent-just put little up the
nostrils from time to time and snum
we'll back into the air passages.

The drudgery of the daily routine of training and the swabbing down the decks of the barracks over, the men retire to their domitories for quiet reading rehearsal of some of the latest Broadway melodies. Once a week the brass band from the flotilla flagship comes up to entertain the recruits and on Sundays and Thurs days the senior chaplain of the base gives the men talk on spiritual well fare.

led up to the demand of Middletown
Army officers that the five-mile limit
against the sale of liquors be invok-

How 1t Happened
Testimony revealed trat when the
United States officer. S. w. LOCKER
brought the two colored prisoners to
Harrisburg for commitment in the
Dauphin county Jail, they asked for
som ething to eat. He took them into
Market street restaurant and The
men ordered some food. When the
checks were paid it was said that
one of the men paid the two checks,
thinking he was paying for one only.
He asked for his change and while
the cashier and he were quibbling
over the matter, employees of the
restaurant came forward.
At this time another attache of the
restaurant saw City Detective MUIR
name coming by and suggested that
he look into the argument. The
prosecution stated that before MUIR
name went into the restaurant he was
told by the chauffeur of the govern
ment car that a government officer
was in the restaurant with the two
prisoners Murnane, 1t is alleged,
came into the restaurant and tried
to take charge of the prisoners but,
testimony said, he was pushed aside
by the government officer, whereup-
on he hit the officer with a black
jack"

and started 20 take his prisoners to
the Jail. He was placed under ar
rest by the detective who ordered
the chauffeur to proceed to the Ma.

protested that he was ordered to go
to the Jail, 1t is said that Murnane
threatened to hit him with a black

Mistaken Identity
officer LOCKER was the first wit

his version of the affair. The two
colored prisoners corroborated his
statements. c. S. Sheibley, James
Leady, Grant Reed, Simon GladfeI-
ter. employees of the restaurant, were
called giving tales which differed
slightly.
The defense was based mainly on
the point tnat it was a case of mis-

while the officer wore his uniform,
the city detective did not recognize
him and it was because of this. he
interfered.
Witnesses to show that Murnane
