Vegetables Yield Well
In Winnipeg District

Winnipeg, Oct. s.-The best vege-
table crop in years is being harvested
these October days, according to
market gardeners in the vicinity of
Winnipeg. So far the weather has
been almost perfect from the gar
dener's viewpoint. -
Potatoes yielding 200 bushels to the
acre are being garnered in. Carrots,
onions, turnips, cabbage, caulidower
and beets' all are an abundant i It. har-
Owing to the scarcity Of many food
commodities, these vegetables are in
great demand, and, in spite of the phe-
nomenal crop the market is far from
being glutted. The great difficulty is
to get the vegetables taken up and
safely housed before the heavy frosts.
come. In some localities almost IS
per e of the potatoes is still in the
ground. Everywhere labor is scarce,
but a happy solution of the problem
has been reached in certain districts,
notably East Kildonan, where the
schoolboys have been given leave Of
absence from their studies for a few
weeks until the vegetables are harvest
ed. In this way, many of the gar.
deners have been rendered practicals
ly Independent of foreign help, which
is at best an uncertain quantity.

War Summary
lBy the Associated Press.)

N (By the Associated FTeSS.)
Crossing the Aisne at Berry-Au-
peril to the whole German line in they
Laonnais and Champagne sectors in
France. This advance by General
Berthelot's men seems to be a stroke
which may be considered in the future
as the first step in the final operation
designed to hurl the Germans out of
the positions they have held for so
long from the Ailette river to the
Meuse.
If the French are able to debouche
from Berry-Au-Bac and obtain a
bridgehead on the north side of the
Aisne, the German forces still cling
ing to the Chemin des Danes along
the ridge north of the Aisne further
west, will be compelled to fall back
rapidly. At the same time the Ger
mans r%etreating from General Co
raud's army further to the east, Will
find that the Aisne. their apparent OBJ
jective in the present retirement, is
not a refuge. 1t may on the other
hand be but a trap for h shattered
forces now streaming back from the
Ply, Arnes and upper Aisne rivers. 4

trated faster than was expected by the
lay world. 1t wrested the hills north

river and then, seemingly at a single
bound, reached the Msne and crossed
it at a vital point. 1t seems to be the
most successful blow struck during
the last week Of fighting.
In the Champagne sector General
Gouraud's French and American
troops are closely following up the
enemy who is retreating in the direc-
ton Of the Retourne- river. The sue

probably hasten this retrograde move
ment by the Germans who appear to
be in a serious condition.
From the Argonne forest to the
Meuse the American army has again
struck at the German positions before
the Kriemhild line and a great battle
seems to be impending there. This
sector is. most important to the Ger
mans as a defeat there would send
through which run the great trunk
railway line which connects the Ger
mans as far west as Laon with Ger
many. The Americans have brought

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DIR. LEE Fl. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight a German or germ, we
must put up good fight, and not be afraid.
The influenza runs very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis.
ease. Remember these three Cs-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
a one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleas.
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the pa.
tient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DR.. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much of the poi
sons and the uric 6 id.
It is important lat broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in
crease the vital resistance. The fever is
diminished by the use of the Anuric tab
let's, but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which a tablespoonful of sal
aratus has been dissolved in quart. After
an attack of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store a good iron tonic, called
"Irontic" Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic, DR.. Pterce's Golden Medical
Discovery.

RETAILERS CAN GET IMME-
DATE SHIPMENTS d.
RECT BY PARCEL
POST.

This advertisement Is written on
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed to
the attention of all distributors of
vick's VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such as 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 IF SUP
PLY Is NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on hanl. 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:
Wed, Oct. IS. 1854 doz.
Thur, Oct. 17..... .25.323 doz.
Fri, Oct, 49,. .39, 256 doz.
Sat-, Oct. 49,. 1888 doz.
Mon, Oct. 81. ..77,7O5 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
$4OO 2S4.1O, or over two million jars
of vapoRub.
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 1t 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 Q6y. we are putting oh d hiShl
shift. but 1t will be a little while be-
fore that is producing.
WHIT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO.
Last Saturday we notified all of our
jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol-
lows:
1st-Deals and quantity shipments
of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no
quantity orders of any kind, whether
taken by our salesman or by your own.
