NATIONAL GUARD COMPANY
CAME HOME LAST FRIDAY
Boys Had Taste of Soldering and
Got Away With 1t in Usual
Satisfactory Manner.

Company E, X. N. G., returned to
Liberal last Friday night after spend
ing a couple of weeks in the Pitts
burk coal fields as guards to the vol
unteer miners.
And they were all glad to get
back, too, altho many of them report
pleasant time outside the little in
conveniences incident to army life.
They tell many interesting things
and some of them got some real army
experience they will not forget, but
on the whole they are inclined to
view the matter from a comic rather
than a tragic standpoint.
They had some mighty cold wealth
er to contend with during their stay
but they are all able to be at their
various posts again.

kind for the teachings of ''Peace on Earth Good
Will Toward Men,
And, as we gather round the festive board, as

OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

1t is with pride that we announce
10 the drug trade that the shortage
OF V1cks VapoRub, which has lasted
since last October, is now overcome.
Since January 1st, we have been run.
ming our laboratory twenty-three and
q half hours out of every twenty-four.
Last week we shipped the last of our
PACK orders, and retail druggists,
therefore, are no longer requested 20
order in small quantities only.
NOVEMBER DEAL RE-lNSTATED
This deal, which we had expected to
put on last November and which has
TO be postponed on account of the
shortage Of VavoRub, is re-instated
for the month of March This allows
discount of 1919 on shipments from
]obbers' stock of quantities Of from 1
to gross. so of this discount is al
lowed 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.
THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE THE
DRUG TRADE DURING THE
! INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
! The thanks of the American public
are certainly due the entire drug trade
retail, wholesale and manufacturing
for what they accomplished during
the recent influenza epidemic. The
war caused a shortage of physicians
nurses were 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
dropped behind the prescription coun-
ter. Wholesale druggists called their
salesmen off the road to help fill orders
hundreds wired us to ship Vick's
VapoRub by the quickest route, re-
gardless of expense.

year, the disease causing the heads
to dry up, become black and blow
away. AT present market price this
is worth more than $4,000,OO0. There
would be this amount to divide among
Indiana's 100000 farmers, about $170O
each, if everyone treated his seed oats
before sowing.
Two general methods, the wet and
dry, are used successfully in combat
ting this oats disease. The dry meth
cd, which is just as effective and
which is being advocated because it
is much simpler and requires much
less labor, is as follows:
Mix one pint of formaldehyde with
one pint of water and use in a small
hand sprayer, as the accompanying
photograph shows. Such sprayers
may be obtained for SO or rs cents.
Spray the solution on the grain as it is
being shoveled over, holding the
sprayer close to the grain and taking
care that the mist is we'll distributed.
One stroke of the sprayer gives
enough mist for each shovelful of
grain. One quart of the solution will
treat so bushels. When all grain is
treated, shovel it into pile and care
fully cover for five hours the same
as under the wet method. See that the
covering is treated the same way be-
fore spreading it over the seed. The
grain may be sown Immediately after
the treatment or allowed to aerate
thoroughly and then be stored in dis
infected sacks or bins until needed
Care should be taken by the man
treating his seed to disinfect the drill
and other implements with which the
seed comes in contact. so that the
seed may not become re-infected.
