EXTRA VA(iANCE AND CONCEIT

The man who said that conceit
was at tho bottom Of every cxtrava-
gance knew a good deal about hui
man nature. Few men would pay 81
for Il tie that did not look as If it
cost 81, and the factory girls in Con-
necticut who are buying $500 fur
coats on inStullments out Of salary
of $l5 week would care little for
such coats if the only place they
could wear them was in an asylum
for the blind.
\ modern philosopher says,w con-
cludc that dissatisfaction Is q COM
mon human ailment, and that
might rs well be unhappy with what
have as unhappy with what cant
affold
thousands Of Americans are dis
sipating their savings in extravagant
purchases, purely through conceit.
And it is truly blind conceit--a
'conceit which deccives no one but
the eXtravagant ones themselves.
When Il man goes into Il store to buy
a Sc hat which he can afford, and
comes ont with a SIG hat which has
forced him to break into his saw
ings, he does not impress the clerk
who sells it or his friends who see
him wear it, but he injured them all
and himself also. lie has aided in
divcrtng production from necessities
to non essentials, he has helped to
keep up prices, and has withdrawn
potential capital from possible use
in increasing industry. For himself
he has weakened his defense against
old age, sickness and loss Of en-
ployment, and depleted his offensive
in the battle for success.
Failure to save is too high a price
to pay for the pampering Of conceit.
The only safety against extravaganza
lies in thrift and saving. Liberty
Bonds. war savings stamps and treas
ury savings certificates may not
make Il flashy show, but they are
more expressive than any extraya-
giant possession that money can buy.
They afford protection to savings, to
the future and to character, and are
sure roads to possession OF the things
really needed and desired.
We have recently heard several Of
our citizens who inyes ted in war saw
'nEs and thrift stamps state that
,hcy had "cashed in" on these saw
ingS. In no instance have we gotten
a reply to inquiry as to why these
savings stamps We're sold that would
indicate that the exchange was in
any way necessary. Fully 90 per.
cent or the money saved through the
purchase OF stamps of various kinds
calculated to build up a saving habit
mas been thrown away within a few
hours after the evidences Of thrift
and savings had been turned back
TO the post Office and cash taken in
exchange. The object OF our gov
ernment--;hc instilling of il spirit
OF thrift and saving g-is being ruth
less!y defeated by those who are at
the present time needlessly "cashing
IN their stamps. Don't quit saving.
You are sure to regret it later.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-07-26

Barre city council at recent meeting,
the matter of an all-time chief for the
fire department will have to be settled at
the meeting to be held on Monday even
ing, Aug 4, which is only 10 days away
1t is understood that few applications
for the position have been received by
the fire committee which has the matter
Immediately in charge but that no def
mite steps have been taken toward rec
ommending anyone for the position, if
the present arrangement of part-time
chief is to be done away with. At least
two applications have been received or
inquiries have been received from two
veterans of fire-fghting forces in Massa-
chusetts cities, while other men who have
applied or who are being considered are
residents of Barre or vicinity. Most of
the latter are men without experience or
with experience chiefly as callmen of the
local department. The Massachusetts
men have been receiving good sized sal
aries in keeping with the size of the
cities which they have served, and there
is question whether Barre would be able
to pay them anywhere near similar sums
because of the narrower financial re-
sources of Barre and because of the more
limited demands of the service here. 1t
is expected that if the salaries could be
scaled down to a figure commensurate
with the size and the financial resources
of Barre, one or the other of these pos
sible candidates from Massachusetts
might fill the bill acceptably. 1t is prob
able, too, that some local man could be
secured at a salary somewhat less than
would be asked by the Massachusetts,
men. So there the matter rests at the
present time There is some talk. how
ever, among the people Of the city in
favor of retaining the present arrange.
ment of part-time chief, with +. NJ. To-
bin in charge, until the way seems clear
er toward going back to the all-time
plan.

There Is Real Danger in tn
After-Effects of This
TreacherOus
Disease.

Those who have survived ar
attack of dreaded influenza FIND
their strength taxed to the ut
most, and the entire system in
a weakened and nerve-shattered
condition. For this disease is
intense in it's severity, and its
after-effects are as much to be
guarded against as the disease
itself.
The pain-racked body is in
such a debilitated condition that
the vitality is at a low ebb, the
strength returns very slowly,
and the patient becomes de-
spondent because of his helpless
ness. And unless there is a full
restoration to his former robust
condition, he is liable to fall an
easy prey to any ordinary illness.
In other words, there is danger
of a permanent injury to the
system.
You owe it to yourself to re-
gain your full strength and
health just as completely and
promptly as possible, and to take
all precaution to avoid the after
effects Of the disease. This you
can do by giving nature such as
sistance as is needed in rebuild
ing the waste tissue and restor-
ing the strength and vitality.
All waste tissue must be re-
built and all lost strength must
be restored through the blood
supply, for through this vital
fluid alone can the damage be
repaired. And after it's battle
with the germs of grippe and in
fluenza, the blood is thin and
weak and must have help in its

stupendous task Of rebuilding
the system, and restoring the
strength and buoyant vitality to
the stricken body.
Just here is where S. S. S. has
proven such a valuable aid, for it
is without question the most eff
ficacious blood purifier ever dis
covered. This reliable old rem
edy, which has been sold by
druggists for more than fifty
years, was first used by the
Indians, who discovered the
medicinal value of the roots and
herbs of the forest and has been
used with the greatest success
for more than half century.
S. S. S. is the one remedy that
is so useful in repairing the dam
age done by influenza and
grippe, because it promptly en-
riches the blood supply, and fills
the veins with new life and
vitality, which in turn rebuild
the waste tissue throughout the
system. No matter how long
since you have had this disease.
you should begin at once to take
S. S. S., which will do so much in
putting the system back into
perfect physical condition.
And r e m e m b r, too, that
avoiding disease is simply a
matter of keeping the system in
perfect condition, so that those
who keep their blood supply pure
and strong and vigorous are not
nearly so liable to attack. A few
bottles Of S. S. S. is worth many
times its cost as q precaution
against disease.
Those who take S. S. S. can
get any desired medical advice
without cost by writing to

OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

1t is with pride that we announce
to the drug trade that the shortage
OF Vfck's VapoRub, which has lasted
since last October, is now overcome.
since January LIST. we have been run
ming our laboratory twenty-three and
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 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
Jobbers' stock of quantities of from 1
TO 4 gross. $50 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 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
statesmen off the road to help fill orders
hundreds wired us to ship Vick's
VapoRub by the quickest route, re-

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency We have tried to
do our part. We secured the country
Tor raw materials-our Traffic Man
ager spent his days riding freight cars
in-we shipped raw materials in car
load lots by express and pleaded with
manufacturers to increase their deliY-
cries to us.
But it was 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 skill
ed labor. We brought our statesmen
into the factory and trained them az
foremen. We invented new machinery,
and managed to install it on Christ
mas Day, so as not to interfere with
our daily production.
143 JARS OF vAPoRUs EVERY
MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT
By January 1st 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.
10 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,976 Jars
of VapoRub manufactured and distrib-
uted since last Cctober-one jar for
every two families in the entire United
States.
During the Influenza epidemic, vick's
VapoRub was used as an external ap-
plication in connection with the ply.
sician's treatment, and thousands of
people, unable to obtain a doctor, re-
lied on Vick's almost exclusively.
