INCREASED VALUE
 OF LIBERTY BONDS
By HALLAND.

New York, November 10.--tSpecial) Some of those who bought Liberty Bonds have recently been told that if they keep the bonds they will be sure to find in the course of a year or two that they have appreciated in value by as much as 1O0 per cent or even more. Gradually the idea which is contained in this re- mark is spreading so that it may serve to restrain any who contemplate selling their Liberty Bonds from doing that.
 The statement, unexplained seems ab- surd Nobody would venture to predict that the Liberty Bonds which were bought at par will appreciate in the markets so that by and by they will com mand premium of as much as 100 per cent. The probabilities are that these bonds will, after peace comes. command a slight premium. But like other govern ment bonds they will in the market quo ations, hover about or a little above par.
 What was meant by the statement was this: When the Liberty Bonds were bought prices for almost everything were far in excess of prices which commodi- ties commanded when times were normal Therefore when prices again fall the owners of Liberty Bonds will, if they care to do so be able to use them in buying commodities many of which will be 5O ner cent or more less in price than tbav were when the bonds were bought.
 Or course this is somewhat strained assertion. yet it contains an element of truth. It does point to the fact that there is certain to be, by and by. very great dafIation in the prices of all commodi- ties Today the best authorities are per- suaded that all commercial products such as merchandise, metals, chemicals, agri- cultural commodities and all textiles have been inflated rom lV per cent 10 soo rar cent. or more in some cases.

HUMBLED BY WOLVERINES IN
 RAGGED CONTEST

Chicago, November 10-After 13 years of waiting. the University of Michigan avenged the memorial 2 to o defeat the University of Chicago scored in 1905 by hunlblng the Maroons Saturday, 13 to Q. The game marked the revival of foot ball relations between these historic gridiron foes. The ragged contest, played in cold drizzle was, for the most part, an exhibition of fumbling and poor team work. The Wolverines, however, were complete masters of the game from the start and the green Chicago eleven never even threatened to score.

 Farming, especially during it's pioneer stage, had presented so many lnsuper- able obstacles to the young men of the country, especially those who had put little capital, that they had become dis- couraged and had taken to industries and other occupations which drew them to the cities and centers Of popuiation' It was decided to overcome the difficul- ties of pioneer life and to put the set clement of lands on a financial pasis which would make 1t possible Tor the
 young man desirous of becoming all agriculturist, to secure farm and pay for it with the minimum of capital Inls was accomplished by the government, oy first buying up these large holdings, SUD dividing them into farm units according to the character of the soil and other conditions, the real basis being an area which when in cultivation would com | fortahly support family.

Under the plan outlined by Secretary Lane these tracts are to be subdivided into small tracts drainage systems provided where nec- essary to reclaim the land, and other wise put in condition for farming before selling them to the soldiers.
 According to officials who claim to have authentic knowledge on the sup feet thousands of the soldiers, reared in the towns and cities, getting taste of outdoor living, fresh air and the freedom of the country, when they re- turn to the states will prefer farm nre to that In the city.

THREE MILLION JARS SHIPPED DURING
 OCTOBER

On Monday October 21. we addressed an advertisement to the wholesale ana retail drug trade. advising that we were badly oversold, due to the influ- enza epidemic, stating that all deals and quantity shipments were post poned. and requesting that VapoRub be purchased in small lots only. This condition still prevails.
 At this writing we have back orders for eighteen thousand (1S,o00) gross and our orders each day are double our daily output. The epidemic, now ever, is decreasing in most sections the demand is slackening and we are working night and day to catch up. In the meantime, we ask the trade to be patient with us.

 HOW TO USE vAPoRUB IN TREAT
 ING SPANISH INFLUENZA.
 In every case call a physician-- vapoRub should be used only i'm con- nection with the physician's internal trea tment. Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat. chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Dry lightly and rub VapoRub we'll m 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 rs- leases the ingredients in the form of vapors These vapors, inhaled with each breath. stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the in- fluenza germs. Tn 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, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin. attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
 HOW I'D USE NlSJ<'S NAIOhOb AS
 A PREVENTIVE.
 It is questionable if there is any thing which will prevent Spanish fn- fluenza. except avoiding those persons who are spreading the disease by coughing sneezing and splitting, and by Keeping up the bodily resistance by plenty of good food and exercise in The open air The public health service recommends that the nasal passages be coated with weak solution of Men thol in liquid petroleum as protec- tive. For this purpose VapoRub Is ex- cellent Just put a small portion up each nostril from time to time during
 the day and snuff we'll back into tho head
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY IN- MAILING yAPORUB. Colds irritate the lining of the ate passages and thus render them a much better breeding place for the germs At the first signs of cold use Vapo- | Rub at once. Melt little in spoon | and inhale the vapors arising, or VapoRub can be used in regular benzoin steam kettle, such as most druggists. carry in stock.

are calculated to lead us. to victory. swift victory, they must be employed"
 So they were used, and are being Ased today. They include sinking of hundreds of neutral ships,. the burning of cities, the deliberate devastating of the fair lands of France, the rayish- ing of women, the enslavement of workmen and the murder of little chil- dren.
 Horrors such as these are told in de- tail in '"rhe Pruss;an System" by F. c. Walcott, who, for long time, was en- gagged in behalf of America in trying to get food to the Poles whom the Ger mans were deliberately starving by the hundreds of thousands so that they might not cumber the land which the Germans intended to occupy.
 Knowing all this, can the American people talk of any peace by negotia- ton? Can they stop this war until this mad dog of nations Is freed from the military rulers who teach frightful- ness from the cradle, aud will only seize a respite now to prepare them selves for further conquests?
