May Tax Men Who Did Not Fight.

If you were a resident of Wisconsin
between eighteen and forty-fve and
did not get into the military or naval
service during the world war it may
cost you 50 year until Wisconsin has
paid her monetary debt to those who
did enter the service An amendment
to the Pullen and Cunningham soldier
payment bills is now proposed to place
poll tax of that amount on these men
as means of raising money to pay off
the principal and interest on the bonds
it would be necessary to issue to meet
the soldier payments.

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.
1A3 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 out
one hundred and forty-three jars Of
VapoRub a minute or one million and
eighty thousand weekly, has required
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.
13 MILLION JARS OF VAPoRUB
DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER.
An idea of the work we have ac-
complished this fall may be given
by our production figures-13,02S,9 76
jars Of VapoRub manufactured and
distributed since last October-one jar
for every two families in the entire
United States.
During the influenza epidemic Vick's
VapoRub was used as an external APP
plication in connection with the physi-
clans treatment, and thousandssof peo-
pie, unable to obtain a DOCTOR relied
on Vick's almost exclusively.
Literally millions of families all over
the country, from Cali
fornia to Maine, and E@
from the Great Lakes Oc1b~Y
to the Gulf, have found (%S~

OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

1t is with pride that we announce
to the drug trade that the shortage of
Vick's VapoRub, which has lasted since
last October, is now overcome. Since
January LIST, we have been running our
laboratory twenty-three and a half
hours out of every twenty-four. Last
week we shipped the last of our back
orders. and retail druggists, therefore,
are no longer requested to order in
small quantities only.
NOVEMBER DEAL RE-INsTATED
This deal, which we had expected to
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 1919 on shipments from job
bers' stock Of quantities of from l to
gross. so of this discount is allowed
by the jobber and So by US.
We advise the retail druggists to
place their orders Immediately, so that
the jobbers will be able to get prompt
shipments to them.

for what they accomplished during
the recent influenza epidemic. The
war caused shortage of physicians
nurses We're almost impossible to OBJ
tain-the demand on the drug trade
was unexpected and overwhelming
and to this demand they responded
nobly. Retail druggists kept open day
and night and slept where they drop
ped behind the prescription counter
Wholesale druggists called their sales
men off the road to help fill orders
