lasted since last october, is now
overcome. Since January 1st' we
have been running our laboratory

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-INSTATl1D

TO nut on last November and which
had to be postponed on account OIL
the shortage of VapoRub, is rein
stated for the month of March. rms
allows a discount of 10 per cent. on
shipments from jobbers' stock of
quantities of from l to 4 gross. D
per cent of this discount is allowed
by the jobber and 8 per cent 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.

Credit Mems Complaint.
The National Association of Credit
Men are conducting a campaign TO
have exemption laws in some states
changed. The association takes the
position that the commercial inter-
ests would be better off if such al
lowances did not protect debtor
merchants who took advantage OF
statute intended to safeguard citl-
gems with family obligations. in the
event of failure or involvency, against
the perils of poverty.
1t Is reported that the officers and
directors of the credit men also de-
plore the unwarranted return of mer-
chandise. which imposes the cost on
business of at least $25,000,000 every
year and must be paid ultimately by
the consumer; the taking of an
earned discount, which is similar in
effect to the unwarranted return of
Eoods in the cost it imposes. and the
failure to comply with purchase con-
tracts. An appeal is made to the
business men of the nation to help
reduce these commodity costs.
Steel Strike Opinions.
Business Washington. as repre-
oented in the banks and brokerage
ofiices, was well satisfied with the
strike situation today. The news as
they read 1t indicated that the strike
was getting better instead of worse.
though there appeared to be an IN
crease in disorders. Reports re-
men returning to work largely out
numbered those leaving their work.
Many foreigners who walked out
Monday were coming back to the
plants. Strikes generally get worse
before beginning to improve, but it is
prophesied that the strike will be
ever within a week, and that all men
will be on the job by the next BIZ
weekly pay day, which is one week
from Saturday.
One prominent steel manufacturer
Was quoted as saying: THE strike
u practically over, due to the fact
that the foreign element is beginning
TO return. This is the class that was
Betrayed by the radical element con-
ducting the strike"

BELGIUM Satisfied With
Award of Peace Treaty,
Says Col. Van Schaick

"The reparations and indemnitieS
granted Belgium by the peace treaty,
while by no means adeQhate to pay
for the damage wrought by the Ger
mans. will be of the greatest help to
the country. and Belgium is we'll sat-
isfied with the parts Of the treaty
affecting her" said Lieut.. Col. John
A. Van Schaick yesterday. Colonel Van
Schaick has been commissioner to
Belgium for the American Red Cross
since 1915, and has just gotten back
to Washington.
"Belgium's greatest problem will be
industrial rehabilitation. The Germans
he'd all of Belgium with the exception
Of one little corner OF about 400
square miles, and they destroyed prac-
ticaIly every piece OF machinery in
the country, particularly the equip
ment for the mills.
AT the present cost OF materials. 1t
will cost six or seven times the orig
inal capitalization Of these industries
to fit them up again, and with the
decline in prices that is sure to come
with the stability OF peace conditions
could possibly afford to rebuild them
II the allies could see their way clear
to cancel the debts Belgium contrac-
ed to them during the war. IL would
probably be the greatest single thing
that could happen for the country.
Praises Belgian Army.
THE Belgian army. with which l
lived a year. won my intense admina-
ton. The Red Cross job has been with
free Belgium, with liberated Belgium,
and with Belgian refugees in Holland.
England, Switzerland, and France.
All this shallow talk about the Bel
gians settings food to the Germans
Is pure nonsense.
Mr.. HooVer's Commission for Re-
lief in Belgium has done a corking
good JOB all through the war. Until
we went into the war, Brand Whit
lock was in Brussels, and he is one
OF the clear, straight, able, courageous
Americans we have reason to be
proud OF. The Germans never fooled
him.
when the King OF the Belgians
went to the peace Conference in Paris
by aeroplane, 1 had the honor Of see
ing the Queen the same morning. In
stead OF expressing fear, she said It
was the right way to 60 because the
cause was urgent. That represents the
spirit OF the King and Queen Of the
Belgians."

UNLIKELY TO HOLD

1t is unlikely the District Health
Department will attempt to quaran-
tine for diphtheria Miss Elizabeth
Wrentmore, of Berkeley, Cal, fances
OF Francis Burton Harrison, governor
general Of the Philippines. when she
comes to this city to be married to the
governor.
DR.. William c. Fowler, District
Health OFFICER. has received a long
distance call from Governor Harrison.
The governor explained to DIR. Fowler
that Miss Wrentmore's blood test for
diphtheria was taken in California,
and the first culture" proved Mega
tive. Unaware a second culture was
NECESSARY, Miss Wrentmore left quar-
antine to come to Washington.
DR.. Fowler told Governor Harrison
Miss Wrentmore would not be inter-
fered with IL she presents a certificate
from the health officer of some city
where facilities for taxing smallpox
cultures are available, stating q sec
ond culture had been taken and shown
negative.
1t is thought Miss Wrentmore, now
on her way to Washington from Cali
fornia, will stop OF at some city to
have her culture taken. 1T is only a
matter of hours" DR.. Fowler says,
and il she shows a certified state
ment we will not interfere"

MILEAGE PAYMENTS.
START NEXT WEEK.

Discharged soldiers who are entitled
to the additional mileage authorized
by Congress will begin to receive
their checks next week provided there
is no delay in the receipt of blank
checks from the Bureau OF Engrav-
ing and Printing.
This was announced today by the
office Of the Director OF Finance. They
also stated that the only places in
Washington where the yellow forms
for affidavits which must accompany
could be obtained IS in
the Lemon building and in the old
War Industries Board building at
and c streets northwest.

DEBATEPROPOSED
ZONE FARE PLAN

With representatives OF the Wash
ington Railway G. Electric Company,
and the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations taking part. the zone fare
item for the street railway company
was discussed At meeting OF the
public utilities committee. of the
Washington Board OF Trade. in the
rooms of the board yesterday after
noon.
William Mex. Clayton. chairman of
the public utilities committee of the
federation, denounced the zone sys-
tenn as being unjust TO patrons IN
certain localities and unfair TO all
Washingtonians because the fare of
only one company would be raised.
He declared that it would stop the
city's development beyond certain
localities.
william F. Ham. president of the
Washington Railway & Electric Com
pany, explained that the zone plan
was but one proposition for relief.
but that it was apparently the storm
center for discussions. He declared
that his company was not insisting
on a zone system or a fat fare in
crease. but merely on a measure OF
financial relief in order that the COM
psny may live.
l.. c. Graham. chairman OF the
boards committee on public utilities.
was authorized to appoint a sub
committee to attend hearings before
the Public Utilities Commission in
order to collect data and report back
to the next meeting Of the Board of
Trade. F. T. Schulz was elected sec
rotary OF the committee.

week ago today he participated
in the parade OF sacrifice in BaIti-
more. He had practically recovered
from his wound. The minor opera
tion on Monday was to further restore
the use of his hand. He never recov-
cred from the anaesthetic.
In the operating room at the time
was his friend, with whom he had
fought on the western front. There
was no fear OF the outcome of the
operation, it being OF such a minor
character. When he was told of his
pals death, the soldier was heart
broken.
Corporal Bailey had been feeling
happy since the parade, II is said
by his friends. First because he was
coming home to Washington soon,
and second, because he had met one
Of his boon companions while on pa
rade.
While marching, some one had call
ed TO him from the street. He look
ed. and saw his old sergeant. who had
fallen in a charge at Montfaucon.
The orders there had been, Advance,
and do not stop for wounded"
Corporal Bailey had raised his hand
TO signal the medical men to take
care Of his pal He was hit by and
explosive bullet, but went on. When
he took treatment he was separated
from his friend. Saturday they met
again, and Sunday. Bailey visited the
