LEAGUE PACT IN PRELIMlN-
AIRY PEACE AGREEMENT.
Statement Issued Prior to Dinner

With British Premier.

mary peace treaty with Germany.
Lord Robert had previously expressed
this as his personal opinion, but his
announcement Tuesday was after he
had conferred with Premier Lloyd
George and was made in behalf of the
British delegation.
Asked if the covenant might provide
for race equality, Lord Robert said
that this could not be done without
interfering with the internal affairs
of various nations which would VIC
late the principles of the league.
Regarding the voluntary withdrawal
of any nation from the league, Lord
Robert pointed out that there was
much to be said on both sides of the
question.
The Notifications on the island OF
Helgoland. Germany's formidable base
in the North sea, must be dismantled.
This decision was reached Tuesday
by the supreme war council.
1t was decided also that the hiel
canal should be internationalized and
made available to the ships of all ma
lions on even terms. Tolls will be
collected to pay for the maintenance
of the canal Germany probably VIII
retain sovereignty of the waterway.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
OF the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

The thanks Of the American public
are certainly due the entire drug trade

for what they accomplished during
the recent influenza epidemic. The
war caused shortage of physicians
nurses were almost impossible to OBJ

was unexpected and overwhelming.
and to this demand they responded
nobly. Retail druggists kept open day
and night and slept where they drop

Wholesale druggists called their sales

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION


In this emergency we tried to do our
part. We secured the country for raw
materials-our Traffic Manager spent
his days riding freight cars in-we
shipped raw materials in carload lots
by express and pleaded with manufac-
turers to increase their deliveries to us.
But it was a slow process. Some Of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies in this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East
Then we had to recruit and train
skilled labor. We brought our sales
men into the factory and trained them
as foremen. We invented new ma
chinery, and managed to install it on
Christmas Day, so as not to interfere
with our daily production.
143 JARS OF VAPoRUB EVERY
MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT
By January LIST we had everything
ready to put on our night shift and
since then our laboratory has been
running day and night. To feed our
automatic machines, which drop ont

VapoRub minute or one million all
eighty thousand weekly, has required
a force of 500 people. Our Cafe De-
partment, created for the benefit Of
these workers, served 1000 meals dur
ing the month of January alone.
10 MILLION JARS OF VAPoRUB

put on last November and which had to
be postponed on account of the short
age of VapoRub, is re-instated for the
month of March. This allows a dis
count of 1917 on shipments from job
bers' stock of quantities of from 1 to
4 gross. so of this discount is allowed

FARMER WENT TO THE
AND FISHED FOR SUCKER

With a fat wallet as bait w. J.
Johnson, a farmer of northern
Minnesota, enjoyed himself roam
ing the streets of Minneapolis in
search of suckers" as he called
them. He got four in two days..
and appeared to be we'll satisfied
with his work.
Johnson went to Minneapolis
with $125. He still has it. He car
ried the money tied tightly in a
leather wallet which was hitched
securely to his waist by long
chain. The first night two young
men saw the wallet protruding
from Johnson's pocket, classed
him as "easy picking" and walked
off with the wallet. Before they
had gone far, however, johnson,
warned by the Tightening of the
chain around his waist, caught
them both. They are now in the
city jail.
The next night two more youths
cast covetous eyes upon Johnson's
wallet and reached gently for it.
They are now occupying cells
next to the two captured the first
night.

COTTON OWNERS
ARE FIRM AS EVER
GROWERS ARE DETERMINED TO
HOLD, AND SALES ARE NOW
LIGHT EVERYWHERE.

ATLANTA, CA. j. Brown and
L. B. Jackson, of Georgia, officials of
the Cotton States Advisory Market
ing Board, recently returned from the
annual meeting Of that body in New
Orleans, report that a straight-out
fight is now on between the short
selling cotton Spectator and the spot
holder.
The board took the position that the
Brand order stopping short selling
should be permanent by legislation.
Although spot holders seem to be as
firm as ever, judging by the small
sales reported from the numerous cot
ton centers, the first note of doubt has
been sounded, this week, as to the out
come of the movement. This is not g
loud note, but it is unmistakable.
1t is reported that cotton buyers
representing the mills are visiting
farmers and other southern spot hold
ers, offering to give them twenty-six
cents pound as a minimum, with the
privilege of the holders taking any
price that may prevail between now
and June. This indicates that the
mills are in need of cotton, but it is
doubtful if holders will accept the Of
fer.
Figures on Spots.
Interesting figures bearing upon the
holding of spots have Just been COM
piled by We'll Brothers, of Montgom-
cry, Ala, showing the stocks held in
twenty-seven towns in East Alabama
and West Georgia. believed to be fair
criterion as to stocks held in other
states. These towns are now holding
81 1903 bales, as compared with 1927
for the same period last year and A.
619 for the same period in 1917.
The report of the Federal Reserve
Board for December in regard to Sea
Island cotton reveals an unusual sit
uation. Says this report: at is reg
ported that very few bales of this
years crop have been sold except to
spectators. This is a very unusual
condition and it is working consider
able hardship to the growers and mer-
chants. Investigation as to the cost of
production of Sea Island and long
staple cotton shows that it has prob
ably cost the grower around seventy
cents pound, lint, at least not less
than sixty-five cents"
Cottonseed being one of the most
important of southern products. the
