HOLLAND MINERS AGAIN
THREATENING TO STRIKE
Declare Scarcity Of Rations Makes
It Impossible for Them to
Do Heavy Work.

THE HAGUE. Holland, August 81
The miners in Neerlen and Limburg
are again threatening to strike be-
cause of the insufficient food given
them. They say that the scanty ra-
tions induce underfeeding and this
makes it impossible for them to do
heavy work. According to the Linn
burg Courier this underfeeding has
already resulted in a diminution OF
the coal production of $50 ten-ton
trucks per day, as compared with
normal times. The mine direction
after comforting with the director OF
the government coal bureau declared
that it could not be responsible Tor
possible contingencies if the ratlons
of the miners were not Immediately
increased.
There is a great shortage of pota-
toes in Amsterdam and Utrecht. In
the latter place manlfestatlons ny
thousands of people occurred, shops
and bread carts being plundered
Amsterdam received rice rations in
stead of potatoes, but Utrecht had
none, ard the population was ind1g.
nant. One thousand truck loads or
potatoes have been exported to Ger
many while the people of Holland
suffer from want. On the other hand.
I hear from the German border that
the people there literally curse every
truck load of coal which goes across
the frontier into Holland in exchange
for the 1000 truck loads of potatoes,
because there is scarcely any fuel in
Germany.
Train and street car traffic. espe-
cially in Hamburg, is seriously i'm
peded by the lack Of fuel.

the American Red Cross to foil spies
in the United States seeking to COM

organization is the official agency
through which messages are trans

enemy territory. The practice OF
permitting letters Of this character
is an outgrowth Of the principle OF
International law which allows pris-
oners Of war to senl letters to
friends at home and to receive let
ters from them.
The anti-spy system, though itself
simple, involves a great amount OF

office in America, where the writer is
personally known. There are such
offices in every city and town in the

did not deviate from their course or

Unlike the Germans in some of their

bombs wildly in fields.
The Germans had the single job OF
fighting, while the Britons had the
dual task Of fighting and bombing.

advantage as against the Germans.
Now these are reaping the whirl-

with these Withdrawals they find
themselves, confronted as they are

Death at End Of Raid.

During a night raid an observer on
a big bombing machine noticed activity
at a German aerodrome near his pilots
course. Landing lights were burning
on the ground and signal lights were
being fired from machines in the air
and from the aerodrome.
The observer pointed this out to the
pilot and suggested that one or two OF
the fourteen bombs they were carry
ing might be used advantageously over
this German aerodrome. The pilot
agreed.
The observer climbed into the nose
of the machine, steered it with ges-
lures hard toward the aerodrome:

 We believe that we can serve you better now by reverting to our former policy of shipping exclusively through the jobber, and effective inn mediately, no more drop shipments will be made.
 While we have put on night shift and have, thereby, about doubled our production, we are still unable to fill our back orders and won't be able to give each jobber all the VapoRub he wants, Hence, it will be necessary for the jobbers to continue distributing VapoRub in small lots only. But we will be able to furnish each jobber at least twice the quantity of VapoRub that he purchased for the corresponding month last year, so there should not be any difficulty in your getting your pro rata share.
 We feel that the public appreciates the service that the retail and whole sale drug trade have rendered the country in this time of stress. We wish to express to both branches of the trade our. thanks for the kind cooperation extended US in our ef- forts to meet this emergency.

TEACHERS NEEDED
 IN CITY SCHOOLS
Several New Rooms Must Be
 Opened Next Term

The school board held Q special meeting yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock and several matters of i'm portance were brought up. One is the fact that the city is in need of more teachers and that several more rooms will have to be opened at the beginning of the winter term to ac- commodate all the pupils.
 Will Adv SC Pupils.
 At the meeting yesterday Lieuten- ant Wheelock, before being commits stoned in the army was a member of the teaching staff of the Vocational High school, was chosen as the voca- tional guide in the city schools, The idea of having a vocational guide is new in the local schools. AS the name implies, it will be the duty of M. Wheelock to study the characters of the boys under him and determine as far as possible the best vocation in life for which they are fitted. He will also make a special study of the vocational training given in the school and will study the needs of the manufacturers It will also be a. part of his duties to know the manu- lecturers, to learn their requirements, and to try and meet their demands. He will study each child individually and will help each one to determine for himself the best calling for his life work. MT. Wheelock Is especial ly fitted for this branch of work in that he was an instructor in the pre- vocational school before entering the army and he known the general lay out of the work. The addition of the vocation guide to the school train ing is expected to work out we'll.
 More Teachers Needed.
 The need of more teachers was brought to the attention of the board when 1t was learned that the sixth grade of the Sacred Heart of Jesus school, under the direction of Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski will have to be discontinued because of the inability to secure teachers for the school. As a result the education of these pupils will have to be provided for and it is a matter of providing for 100 or more pupils after the Christmas va cation. It is necessary that the board secure more teachers and open up more rooms in the old Burritt school The pupils released from the sixth grade of the Sacred Heart school

Effective Immediately, No More Direct Shipments Will Be Made Retailers. All Shipments Now Go to Jobbers For Redistribu- tiOn.

When the influenza epidemic struck the country and wiped out our warehouse and johbers' stocks al most overnight, we were faced with the problem of distributing--~to the stricken districts--in tho quickest possible manner--our daily output of VapoRub. We solved this by offer ing to ship direct to the retailers in these influenza districts, by parcel post prepaid, quantities of not more than three dozen FapoRub in any one shipment. and by shipping what was left from our daily production to our jobhers by express instead of freight.
 This was costly, but it solved the problem for the time being. Now, however, we find that these small shipments are constantly increasing We have received as many as 1906 in a single mail It Is becoming inn
