Vick's vapcrub, which has lasted
since last October, is now overcome.
Since January LIST, we have been

ned the last of our back orders, and
retail druggists. therefore, are on
longer requested to order in small
quantities only.

to put on last November and which
had TO be postponed on account of
the shortage of Vaporub, is REIN

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO IN
CREASE OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency we have tried
10 do L part. We secured the
country for raw materials, our Traf-
tic Manager spent his days riding
freight cars in--we shipped raw ma
terials in carload lots by express and
pleaded with manufacturers to in
crease their deliveries to US.
But it was a slow process. Some
of our raw materials are produced on
ly 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
statesmen into the factory and train
ed them as foremen. We invented
new machinery, and managed to IN
stall it on Christmas Day, so as not to
interfere with our daily production.

40 JARS OF VAPORUB EVERY
MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT.

By January 1st we had everything
ready to put on our night shift, m
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
eight thousand weekly, has required
a force of 500 people. Our Cafe
Department, created for the benefit
of these workers, served 1000 meals
during the month of January alone.
IS 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 13,028,976
jars of Vaporub manufactured and
distributed since last October lone
jar for every two families in the en-
tire United States.
Duling the influenza epidemic,
Vick's Vaporub was used as an exter-
nal application in connection with
the physicians treatment, and thous-
ands of people, unable to obtain a
doctor, relied on Vick's almost exclu-
sively.
Literally millions Of families all
over the country, from California to
Maine, and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf. have found Vick's Vaporub
the ideal home remedy for Group and

THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE
THE DRUG TRADE DURING THE
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.

The thanks Of the American pub
lie are certainly due the entire drug
trade-retail, wholesale and manufac-
turing, for what they accomplished
during the recent influenza epidemic.
The war caused a shortage of physi-
cians--nurses were almost impossi-
BILE to obtain--the demand on the drug
trade WAS unexpected and over
whelming. and to this demand they
responded nobly. Retail druggists
kept open day and night and slept
where they dropped behind the pre-
scription counter. Wholesale drug
gists tallcd their statesmen off the
road to help fill orders, hundreds
wired us to ship Vick's Vaporub by

ROTHSCHILD TO SETTLE
JEWISH DICTIONARIES
ON PALESTINE LAND
Especial Cable to the American
Jewish News.)

London.-The vexing problem of
the future of the discharged Jewish
Legionaires has apparently reached
happy settlement, and once again
it is to Baron Rothschild that the
Jewish people are indebted. The
Legionaires, who enlisted in the
United States, Canada and England,
have complained bitterly that they
have been left to shift for them
selves, and have expressed a will
ingness to remain in Palestine after
rehabilitation as permanent set
tiers, providing they are settled on
the land.
1t appears that their wishes are
now to be acceded to. Bernard A.
Rosenblatt, president of the Zion
Commonwealth of New York, has
seen Baron Rothschild at Paris and
the Directors of the Jewish National
Fund at the Hague, with view to
acquiring land in Palestine for the
DICTIONARIES, and his efforts have
been successful. AS a result of the
negotiations Rosenblatt, accom-
panied by Walter Coates, left yes
terday for Marsei1les where they
will take ship for Palestine to COM
plete the arrangements.

A new friend and well-wisher of
ours has appeared in the person OF
Archbishop Platon of the Russian
Church who at a meeting held in
New York of the Bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal, the Russian
Orthodox, the Greek, and the Ru-
manian churches, at which Bolshe-
vism was discussed, exclaimed: 81
warn the Jews, woe will be their
future in Russia when a stable gov
eminent is restored" The i1nplica-
ton of that warning, of course, was
that the Bolsheviki are all Jews.
Evidently all the Bishops, Protes-
tant Episcopal, Greek, Rumanian,
and Orthodox Russian, understood
that. To foretell woe for the Jews
of Russia requires no superior gift
of prophecy. 1t is the same woe,
whether the Bolsheviki rule or the
followers of Archbishop Platon. We
must add that the Archbishop has
subsequently denied the report of
his ominous vaticination.
The Right Reverend Frederick ].
Kinsman has resigned as Bishop OF
the Protestant Episcopal church of
Delaware, giving as his reason the
fact that he could no longer recon-
cile himself to the federation of
doctrinal laxity," which he said he
had found to exist in the govern
ment of the church. The digni-
taries of the church don't seem to
care even about such an important
doctrine as the Virgin Birth OF
Jesus as recorded in St. Luke's Cos
pei. It is we'll known fact that in
matters of doctrine the highest
teachers of the Episcopal church,
both in the pulpit and the class
room have been the most liberal and
sometimes the most heretical from
a strictly Christian point of view.
The most radical Biblical criticism
has come from the professors of it's
schools and seminaries. And yet it
is this same church that is most
persistent in it's efforts to win the
Jews over to the Christian fold; as
if to say: "You Jews ought to be-
lieve what we don't"

DIR. ABRAHAM jacob
PASSES AWAY.

DR.. Abraham jacob, the noted
physician, died at his summer home,
Bolton Landing, Lake George, last
week after brief illness lasting less
than one day. Funeral services
were held on Monday afternoon at
the Academy of Medicine in New
York.
DR.. Jacob was born in Hartum,
Westphalia, Germany, May 6, 1880.
He completed his preparatory edu-
cation at the Gymnasium of Min
den. His university work included
studies at Griefswald (1847-48) Got
tingen (1848-49), and Bonn, where
he received his M. D. in 1851. From
his early youth DR.. Jacob imbibed
the revolutionary spirit prevalent
in Europe at that time His fiery
nature knew no bounds, and as he
expressed himself freely, both pub
licly and in the press, he was ar
rested for high treason and lese
majestic and was confined in prison
at Berlin, Cologne, Minden and
Bie1fe1d from 1851 to 1853. After
his discharge he went to Manches
ter, England, but could not earn
livelihood there, and a few months
later he sailed for New York. From
his arrival he devoted most of his
time and attention to the study of
the diseases of children, and was
ranked as the foremost authority in
America in this speciality.
During his long career DR.. Jacobi
was connected in some form with al
most every college and university in
the country. He was Professor
of Diseases of Children in the New
York Medical College from 186O-61.
Clinical Professor of Children's Dis
eases in the New York University
Medical College 1860, and held
the same chair in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Column
bia University, since 1870. He was
visiting physician of the German
(now Lenox Hi1D Hospital since
1857, and of Bellevue since 1874,
and held this position in Mt. Sinai
Hospital from 1860 to 1883. He had
been consulting physician of the
Hebrew Orphan Asylum since 1853.
In 1898 DR.. jacob received his
LID. from the University of Mich
igan and this degree was also con-
ferred upon him by Columbia in
1900, Yale in 1905, and Harvard in

II CHARTER BILL

The citizens committee. an organization that began its work
IN June, 1918, has prepared for submission 10 the general assem-
bly, an amendment making certain radical changes in the
so-caHed charter Of the city Of Memphis.
AS a progressive measure, giving the people almost a direct
voice and absolute control over their affairs, with provisions
ample TO insure municipality owned public utilities when fair
treatment cannot be secured otherwise, 1t is unfortunate that the
decisions Of the supreme court are such as to imperl the valid
ity Of the measure itself if submitted to a vote of the people Tor
ratification after its passage.
The News Scimitar regrets that such an obstacle is in the
way OF a vote of the people, Tor its ratification would be assured,
as it contains so many OF the things that the people have fought
to obtain. This objection, however, is overcome by reason Of
the fact that the legislative delegation was pledged in advance OF
its election to the passage of such a measure, and the three city
commissioners elected in August voluntarily wrote in their plat
form an agreement to support and assist in the passage OF the
measure.
The question now is whether the measure is good or bad.
The issue should not be clouded with a lot Of humbuggery and
demagogy. A copy of the bill has been given general circulation,
and anyone who has not read 1t should. not form a nasty or
adverse Judgment.
There is no doubt that the city needs an improvement in
its charter that will invite a better class Of men to take an inter
est in the affairs of the city, The city needs to get rid Of the
professional politician. 1t cannot be done under the present
form. 1t may be possible under the proposed form,
There are a number OF persons who nave expressed them
selves as favoring the proposed amendment, provided 1t carries
the referendum. Unfortunately those who honestly favor the
bill find themselves associated with those who oppose the bill,
and favor the referendum as a means Of defeating it at the polls,
and if not there, they confess, then in the courts.
In this proposed amendment the labor organizations will
find the things they have contended for for years. 1t would be
unfortunate il they should lose their contention by permitting
the city administration to defeat their aims in the %furtherance Of
designs to perpetuate themselves in office,
Under the provisions OF the proposed amendment the civil
service rules will become a fact They cannot be evaded. Mem
bers of the city government will no longer be able to place their
sons in lucrative positions; commissioners will not be able to
reduce the privilege taxes of their relatives, and the commission
ties, while the owners Of small homes must pay the full amount,
as the present commission has done.

1t is doubtful if the present compulsory primary law of
Tennessee can be amended so as to vest authority in the rcgu-
larly selected Spokesman of the parties. Unless that can be done
the law should be repealed.
For a number of years the dominant party pledged itself
to the enactment of a compulsory primary law as a cure for the
evils that sprang up in party affairs, The law enacted is so
cumbersome and lacking in so many essential details that it
would be better to have no primary law at all than to endure
it for another two years. The law makes no provision for con-
ventions or for platforms and other necessary features. The
Democratic party was fortunate in having as its candidate for
governor a man of the type OF Gov. Roberts, who possessed the
courage to write his own platform and present it to the voters
for ratification, and then when selected to stand by its provisions.
Unfortunately there are not many men OF the type of Gov.
Roberts, and as a matter of protection the parties should have
an opportunity, through their delegates, to write the platforms
upon which they expect the candidates not only 70 run, but to
stand. Experience teaches that ii is much easier to get a can
didate 10 run on a platform than II is to GET an official to stand
on one. The trouble with them is that they want to keep on
running, sometimes away from their platform pledges,

At the time | met the particular girl
who 10 the theme Of this story, she
was sitting in the enter Of q little
group, holding forth on the subject Of
her bad luck.
She discussed her affairs with great
candor and ted one anecdote after
another to prove that things never did
60 right with her. She made all man
ner Of bitter Jokes at her own expense
and unhesitatingly ticketed herself 80
a true daughter OF misfortune.
Some n present scoffed ct the idea
OF bad luck or the fact OF its being
a relentless entity ruthlessly pursuing
its unhappy victim.
BE as skeptical as you please" ahs
replied, but I'm q living proof OF 1t.
Here am l. capable; good ;natured, en-
ergetic, willing, and yet l see women
without half my ability or training get
the plums. am q very good private
secretary and have held some excellent
positions, but they never fell to fade
away from me in one way or another.
NY JinT is always right on the JOB.
I'm really q hopeless case. II q rich
uncle from Australia started for these
shores with the idea Of handing me a
large fortune the boat which carried
MIN .Weuld be sunk in midocean and
the fortune would disappear overnight.
II the Prince In search Of this Gin
derella came along with a crystal slip
per and knelt before me. he would be
sure to drop 1t and 1t would break into
q pieces just as l went to
slip my toes into It,"
Everyone has a vein Of superstition
IN him somewhere, no matter how
deeply hidden 1t may be. The group
began to break up and melt away.
No one would have admitted that he
had a secret conviction that bad luck
Is as catching as the measles, or that
he feared her invisible jinx might de-
tach itself from her to follow after him.
But for some reason or other we all
found out that we had imperative en-
gagements elsewhere.
l saw the girl no more and the little
Incident faded from my mind until a
few days ago, when l received a letter
from her.
She began by recalling herself to me
as the bad luck girl mentioning
where we had met. She then said
that she had not yet succeeded in los
ing her jinx, but was hoping that I
might break the spell. She wondered
II l might not need a secretary; she
was sure that l would be pleased with
her work and she would make every
effort. Her letter ended this way:
But, OF course, IL you are looking
Tor a secretary, you have probably
found n ten minutes before this let
ter reaches you. And anyway you will
probably decide that / an just the sort
OF q person you would not want"
You have hit the nail on the head
exactly" l murmured to myself.
And 1t was not entirely, because Of
her absurd obsession OF bad luck. In
