What discouraging report the Ger
man airmen must have taken back to
their division commanders, and this
stream is slowly but surely getting big
ger and bigger every day, and the pace
is always the same. No slower, no
faster, but ever onward, ever forward.
Three weeks before the big push of
July las the battle of the Somme has
been called-started, exact duplicates
of the German trenches were dug
about thirty kilos behind our lines.
The layout Of the trenches was taken
from airplane photographs submitted
by the Royal flying corps. The trench
es were correct to the foot; they
showed dugouts, saps, barbed wire de-
lenses and danger spots.
BattaliOns that were to 60 over In
the first waves were sent back for
three days to study these trenches, en-
gage in practice attacks and have night
~aneuvers. Each man was required to
nike q map of the trenches and IA
miliarize himself with the names and
location of the parts his battalion was
to attack.
In the American army noncommis-
stoned officers are put through course
of map making or road sketching, and
during my six years service in the
United States cavalry I had plenty Of
practice in this work. therefore map
ping these trenches was q c0mpara-
lively easy task for me. Each man
had to submit his map to the company
commander to be passed upon. and !
was lucky enough to have mine select
ed as being sufficiently authentic to use
In the attack.
No photographs or maps are allowed

The whole attack was rehearsec
and rehearsed until we heartily cursed

The trenches were named according
to a system which made 1t very simple

These imitation trenches, or trench
models, were well guarded from Obser'

mis- advertisement Is written on
Monday, October Dist. 1t Is directed to
the attention of all distributors Of
yIck's vapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such ss the
present epidenic-our duty-and your
'duty-is to distribute vapoRub In the
quickest possible manner to those Sec
lions stricken by Influenza. We, there
fore, call your careful attention to the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE n SUP
PLY rs NOT CONSERVED
On October 1st we had on hand. at
our Factory and In twenty warehouses
scattered over the country. sufficient
vapoRub to last us. we thought, until
January LIST, allowing for so 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
fiuenza 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:
We'd, Oct. 10. .1S,5O4 doz.
Thur, Oct. IL. 1913 doz.
Fri, Oct, IS. 80, 256 doz.
Sat-. Oct. 10. 1893 doz.
Mon., Oct 21..... .77,705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10Th, We
have actually shipped for this month
800 2S41O. or over two million jars
of vapoTsub.
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.
1t 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 it may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1000 dozen
per day. We are putting on night
shift. hut 1t will be n little while be-
fore that Is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE

Last Saturday we notified all of our
jobbers. by Special Delivery, as fol-
lows:
1st-Deals and quantity shipments
of all kinds are cancelled. Fiji no

taken by our salesman or by your own,

charges ourselves.
3rd-In order to make distribution
still quicker, we will ship direct to
your retail customers quantities not
more than three (3) dozen 3Oc size at
any one shipment.
4th-We are now out of the Coo size
and will be for the next ten days.
WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL
DRUGGIST TO DO.
Buy in asssmall quantities as posi-
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 Ill these orders
Mt this time. II the jobbers 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 3Oc 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 jobber and get
his O. X. II you wish the goods to
come thru your jobber, have him order
them for You.

SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH
INFLUENZA.
We will send, on request, to any re
tail druggist, 100 or more little book
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 vApoRue.
In addition to the usual .methtd OF
using vapoRub-that Is, applied ovel
the throat and chest and covered with
not flannel cloths-our customers are
writing us daily telling Of their sue
cess in using vapoFub in other ways
particularly as a preventive. They
melt a little in spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt it in benzoir
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 time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
According to a Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service, Dr.
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose vapoItut
Is excellent-just put little up the
nostrils from time to time and suU1
