Since Wilbert Robinson assumed the
managership in 1913, succeeding Bill
Dahlen, Brooklyn has haC an agrees
sive and hard ball club to beat, but
most of this credit has been given to
Jack Coombs, formerly one of the best
pitchers in the American league, and
reputed to be a smart baseball man.
The effectiveness of the Dodgers in
creased as soon as he joined the club
and in 1916 it won the pennant of
the National league. That year Coombs
twirled fine ball and was said to have
been instrumental in developing the
twirlerS on the club. He also is said
to have had hand in improving the
skill Of the club in team work.
Invaluable to Dodgers.
Some baseball men have even gone
so far as to say that Coombs was vir-
tually manager of the club and ran
1t. That is incredible when one knows
that Robinson directed the plays on
the diamond, looked after the condi-
ton of the players and gave them their
instructions. There is no denying
that COombs was invaluable to the

Rainbow Wonders.

The most familiar form of halo is
the rainbow. When the sunlight falls
on a cloud of water drops on the op-
posite side of the sky, portion of it
is bent completely back, and in being
bent is reduced to its primitive colors.
The arch of the rainbow is due to the
roundness of the water drops. Rain
bows can occur only when the sun is
near the horizon. When the sun is
high the refracted light passes over
head and is thereby rendered invisible.
On occasions when the sun shines un-
usually bright two rainbows may be
seen, one above the other.

Dodgers as an assistant, but that he
was almost wholly responsible for the
success of the team is to be doubted
when RObinson's knowledge Of base
ball and his ability to handle men are
considered.
Opportunity to Show.
Whether Coombs is as smart base
ball man as many believe he is will be
revealed in the National league strug-
gle this summer. He has been chosen
to manage the Phillies in place of Pat
Moran and will have every Oppor-
tunity to prove he is baseball man
of managerial ability. If he is not
successful with the Phillies those who
have been giving him credit for the
good showing made by the Dodgers
In the last few years will probably
be willing to admit that Robinson is
the man who has been responsible for
the climb of the Brooklyn team. Yet
if Robinson does not keep the Dodg-
ers up in the race COomts' friends
may call attention to the fact and
say he must have had some share In
developing the club.

OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

It 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 to
4 gross. so Of this discount is allowed
by the jobber and so by us.
We advise the retail druggists to
place their orders Immediately, Sc that
the joobers 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 drop
ped behind the prescription counter.
Wholesale druggists called their sales
men off the road to help Eli orders
hundreds wired us to ship Vick's Vapo-
Rub by the quickest route, regardless
Of expense.

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 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.
143 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
a 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 VAPoRUR
DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER.
An idea Of the work we have ac-
complished this fall may be given
by our production fgures-13, 02S,976
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 ap-
plicatiOn in connection with the physi-
clans treatment, and thousands Of peo-
pie, unable to obtain a doctor, relied

The annual report of J. E. King |erg. who conducts the Children's S Home in the western part of this fity has reached our desk in an at |,active booklet form.

''In the first place l wish b state that we have received, solely h answer to prayer, from May 22, l918, to May 22, 1919, a sum of thousand one hundred Rxty-four dollars and ninety five knts for support of the orphans and br the building fund, and together Eith money received for personal use br Bibles and tracts, from sale of htiCles, interest, etc, the whole sum Rbr the same period amounts to 8venty nine thousand, seven hundred 7 he dollars and seventy-seven cents" These are his opening words which Eeal directly with the institution.
