THE GERMAN REVOLUTION.

That it was realized some tune ago that the revolution which has taken place in Germany was underway and likely to spring into flame most any time was indicated by the manner in which the kaiser and members of his cabinet were making loyalty appeals to the people and workers in the large munitions factories. They saw the trend of affairs and did their utmost 10 overcome it. but regardless of how faithfully it was expected that the people of Germany would stick by those who have held them as slaves, easiness on that point was fully jus- tified.
 There had been an undercmrent of feeling which though slow in Gevel- cping did not require much coaxinS, once the start was made, to sweep through the country in demonstra tion of the fact that the people had got ten their eyes opened to the existing conditions. It shows that ali that was necessary was for a start to be made in order to rapidly swing the various states of the empire into lire with the revolution. It shows an insistence for a change, without perhaps def ,.itely indicating the lines. but never theless meaning that the old form oi government must go and the royal families were not long in discovering the fact that it was their turn l. move.
 The immediate desire of the peoplt of the various states of Germany is unquestionably for peace. They real i2e that they have lost and that they have suffered enough. It does no tnean that Germany IS breaking uf Int that the government on past linei has gone and that once reconstructed on new lines it will Dc better for thu Ccople. the country and the world

ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCK

On October 1st we had on hand at the factory and in twenty warehouses over the country 8 tremendous stock of VapoRub, accumulated during the summer months. This is now gone-we actually shipped during the month of october over three million jars of VapoRub. We are speeding up our factory as much as possible and the problem now is to distribute the fac tory's output~as quickly as possible. We have therefore for the time being abandoned freight shipments and are shipping either by Parcel Post or eX- press-trying to give each joboer at least a little stock.

 HOW TO USE vAPoRuR IN
 TREATING SPANISH IN.
 FLUENZA
 In every case call a physician VapoRub should be used only in con- nection with the physicians internal treatment
 Apply hot, wet cloths over ths threat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Dry lightly and rub VapoRub well in until the skin is red-spread on thickly and cover with hot flannel cloths Leave the bed covering loose around the neck, as the body heat re- leases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These Eapors, inhaled with each breath, stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw of the in f1uenza germs. In case of head or chest cold, which often accompanies influenza, the vapors tend to keep the air passages open, loosen the phleSm and make the breathing easier. In ad- dition TapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO USE VIcK's VAPoRus AS A PREVENTIVE It is questionable if there. is any thing which will prevent Spanish h. fiuenza,- except avoiding those per sons who are spreading the disease I1g k,5n and by keeping up the bodily resist ance by plenty of good food and ex- ercise in the open air. The Public Health Service recommends that the nasal passages be coated with "a weak solution of Menthol in liquid petroleum as a protective. For this purpose FapoRub is excellent. Just put a small portion up each nostril from time to time during the day and snuff well back into the head, KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY iN- RAILING vAPoRus
 1 Colds ifritate the lining Of the 3l- | passages and thus render them a much better breeding place for the germs. At the first signs of a cold use VapoRub at once, Melt d little i in q spoon and inhaie the vapors arising. or SRpeRub can be used in a regular benzoin steam kettle, such as most druggists carry in stock. II this is not available, a very good substitute to use is an ordinary tea kettle. FfIl half-full of boiling water l-put in half teaspoon of VapoRuh from tifne to time-keep the kettle | just slowly boiling and inhale ths steam arising. j

FAVOR INCREASE Of
|WATERFOR DISTRICT
Commissioners Regard Rep
resentative ZihIman's Reso-
luton as Initial Step.

Favorable report will be made by
the District Commissioners on Rep
resentative Zihlman's resolution to
bring about an increase in the Capt.
tails water supply, If the measure is
referred to them for an opinion.
While they have not read the reso-
luton, all three District heads ex-
pressed qualification that initial
steps have been taken in Congress to
insure Washington and the federal
reservations in Virginia and nearby
Maryland communities a sufficient
water supply for the future.
The Washington suburban sanitary
commission also looks with favor
upon the Zihlman measure, realizing
that unless Washington's water sup
ply is increased there will be no
chance of Maryland residents obtain
ing water from the District, in ac-
cordance with authority given recent
Iy by Congress.
Water Situation Still Serious.
Reports reaching the Commissioners
today continued to emphasize the Sc
riousness Of the water situation Ihe
last figures they have on consumption,
which were for last Thursday. show
&C, 100000 gallons Of water consumed
that day. The estimated safe daily ca.
pacity of the conduit Is 65,0OO,0oG
gallons a day.
The figures are more alarming when

into account. Hot weather brings IN.
creased consumption. and it would noc
surprise officials Of the water depart"
ment to see the figures jump to &c."
000. 900 gallons before the summer ID
over.
Sometime before the war started II
was estimated that Washington,s
water supply would be sufhcient until
1880. provided all buildings were
metered. all possible &C eonserva.1on n;.,.v nan
ulation did not exceed 100000.
View of Present Conditions.
As the situation now presents it
self, there probably are 100000 per-
sons in the District, but all buildings
have not been metered. Conditions
are believed to be very close to what
was anticipated they would be under
normal development 5y lsso.
"Representative Zihlman's propose!
does not come one minute too soon."
said a representative of the water
department today. Congress can
not act too speedily, nor can the work
of providing an increased water sup.
Div. If authorized and appropriated
for, be pushed too rapidly. 1t will
take three years at least to augment
the present facilities. if no delays are
encountered. The margin between
the amount of water the District now
has available and what 1t consumes
daily is so slight that the greatest
haste in providing against a possible
water famine is imperative"
