SUPPLY OF XMAS
 TREES SUFFICIENT
Charges Range From 10 Gents for a Branch to $5
 For a Big One.

For the first time in many years Bridgeport's supply of Christmas trees bids fair to meet the demand. Va Cant stores have been requisitioned be- side the large number to be sold by florists and dealers who carry trees as yearly supplies.
 All prices, starting at 25 cents for a tiny thin specimen of the balsam and spruce family, and go to the big fir or balsam, at s5.
 It is no unusual sight to see a small poorly dressed urchin dragging along a tree several times larger than him self with look of beautific happi- ness on his face, the same probably representing many strenuous efforts at saving pennies.
 Even purch lsers are found for sin gle branches, which were bringing 10 cents in local store. Many mothers of families, apparently in straighten- ed circumstances, were carrying home this small reQlinder of the holiday season. Many tiny hearts will be gladdened with these bits of green at 10 cents.
 The price of the trees most in de- mand range from $1.00 to $2.O0. A very good, full tree may be purchas- ed at this price, and of a size most suitable for the size of the five or six room flat.

NOTICE RETAIL DRUGGISTS
 NO MORE VAPORUB DIRECT BUY II FROM YOUR JOBBER

sible for us to fill these promptly, and instead of distributing our goods more quickly, they are really slowing up the process.
 We believe that we can serve you better now by reverting to our for mer policy of shipping exclusively through the jobber, and, effective im- 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 distribut- ing VapoRub iH small lots only. But we will be able to furnish each job Der at least twice the quantity of Va poRub that he purchased for the cor responding 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 o1
 the trade our thanks for the kind co. operation extended us in our efforts
 to meet this emergency.

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 ware house and jobbers' stocks almost over night, we were faced with the prob lem of distributing the stricken districts-in the quickest possible manner-our daily output of Vapo- Rub. We solved this by offering to ship direct to the retailers in these influenza districts, by parcel post prepaid, quantities of not more than three dozen VapoRub in any one ship ment, and by shipping what was left from our daily production to our job bers by express instead of freight.
 This was costly, but it solved the problem for the time oerng. Now however, we find that these small shipments are constantly increasing we have received as many as 1906 in single mail. It Is becoming impos-

Resignation Reported During Strike.
The cabinet of Doctor Won Seydler,
which was formed last June, was re-
ported to have resigned during the
recent labor crisis in Hungary.
This report, however, was not con-
firmed.
Doctor Won Seyd1er was able to bring
about the cessation of the strike by
informing labor delegations on Janu-
airy 20 that it was the wish of the
Austrian emperor to end war at the
earliest possible moment by an honor
able peace. Other members of his
government promised labor and mill
tary reforms, after which labor lead
ers ordered their followers to return to
work. This virtually ended the strike
in Vienna The failure to adhere to
these promises on the part of the gov
errment is the most apparent cause
for the cabinets resignation.
London, Feb. S.-Fresh outbreaks
of rioting and looting in Petrograd
are chronicled in special dispatches
from the Russian capital. Wine cell

Troops employed to suppress the dis
turbances did much shooting in which
it is estimated that 40 persons were
killed. BY firing on the mobs the
soldiers have been able to quell the
rioters at intervals during the last
three days and nights but the orgy
begins again elsewhere.

diers who were aboard the Tuscania
when she was summarized Tuesday
night remained unchanged today and
officials anXiously awaited additional
details expected to clear up the con-

losses. Cabled press dispatches from
an Irish port last night saying that
the bodies of forty-four soldiers, bat-
tered beyond recognition. had been

scene of the torpedoing. dampened
hope that the troops losses would
prove very small. According to fig
ures given in earlier press dispatches
only 101 of those aboard, including
soldiers, members of the crew and
passengers. were missing.
This had led officials to believe that
with the heavy loss first indicated
soldiers had been saved.
No attempt was being made thus
far to prepare a list of the lost or
missing. Only the names of a few
survivors have been received and in
dications today were that names of
survivors would continue to come in
slowly as they are assembled in Ire

GET Denver CLUB
That Is Proposition Before To-
peka Baseball Fans.
Purchase of $50 Ticket Books
Would Turn the Trick.

That a number of prominent To-
peka business men believe it would be
a wise thing for the city to try to get
back into the Western league this sea-
son was indicated by their attitude at
the Chamber of Commerce today at
noon following an address of Presi
dent Z. w. Dickerson.
Dickerson came to the city to feel
out the fans on the proposition of
bringing the Denver franchise here
and at the C. of c. He told the bust
ness men that all Topeka will be
asked to do will be to purchase $50
ticket books at $40 a book. He said
that not cent will be asked in the
way of a contribution and that no
begging campaigns will be conducted.
Dickerson was introduced to the c.
of c. members by George Godfrey
Moore, one of basebalFs best known
boosters. and, following his talk he
asked that all those present who
would be willing to buy $50 book or
to help sell these books, stand up,
and about half of the house arose.
Dickerson stated after the meeting
that Spencer Arthur Abbott will make
a canvass of the city and that if he
meets with a degree of success that
warrants it, the league will make
preparations to locate club here.

Contrary to any belief that may ex-
ist the Topeka campaign by the mfli-
tary committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce to send tobacco kits to
American soldiers in France has not
been discontinued, according to c. B.
Merriam, treasurer of the committee
Merriam declares that the need of

For the benefit of those who ap-
parently have forgotten the plan Of
sending the tobacco overseas, this In
formation is given:
In nearly all the more important

The local committee to date has

collected $500 from the boxes. In
each kits is a card addressed to the

of one hundred million Americans
would be benefited and, further, We
