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 Vapo Rub, which has lasted
since last October, is now overcome.
Since January 1st, we have been run
ming 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 10 be postponed on account of the
shortage of VapoRub. is re-instated
for the month of March. This allows
e. discount of 10 per cent. on ship
n1ents from jobbers' stock of quanti-
ties of from l to gross. Five por
cent. of this discount is allowed by the
jobber and 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.

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO IN
CREASE OUR PRODUCTION.

In this emergency we have tried to
do our part. We secured the country
for raw materials-our Traffic Mama
ger spent his days riding freight cars
in--we shipped raw materials in car
load lots by express and pleaded with
manufacturers to increase their de-
iveries to us.
But it was a 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
statesmen into the factory and trained
them as foremen, We invented new
machinery. and managed to install it
on Christmas Day, SO as not to inter-
fere with our daily production.
14s 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
| 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 flgures--13 {, 02S, 976
| Jars of VapoRub manufactured and
| distributed since last October-one
| jar for every two families in the en-

AERIAL TORPEDO
 NEW WAR WEAPON
Will Be Controlled and Guided By Wireless, Developer of
 Liberty Motor.

New York, Dec. 5.-Aerial tOrpedOes in the form of pilotless airpIancs guided by wireless will play their part in the next war, members of the American society of mechanical engi- neCrS were informed last night by F. A. Deeds of Dayton, O., former chief of the eQuiDm ent division of the army air service, under whose personal di- rectiOn the Liberty motor was devel- oped.
 This development was far advanc- ed during the war;" said Col. Deeds. By this means it will be possible to send small machine automatically controlled and guided 100 miles and at that distance automatically shed it's wings. The fuselage, laden with high explosives will drop as a plummet, hitting the target the size of a city ac- curately."

 The pages open dealt with the men tai perturbation of Henry Maxwell preacher, the principal character m the novel. who felt his power in the pulpit waning and was no longer aolc to hold his congregation. It WaS inferred that Strong. who had ner- vous breakdown followed by serious attack of pneumonia q year ago, drew a parallel with his own waning power, both physical and mental.
 There was no suggestion in the book of murder or suicide, but Strong, a deeply religious man and a prominent member of the North Reformed church, of Passaic, was known to have brooded over his physical condi- ton for some time.
