A TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

Il
| 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 1t 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 1t ON
Christmas Day, so as not to interfere
with our daily production.
143 JARS OF vAPoRUB 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
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.
12 MILLION JARS OF vAPoRUB
DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER.
An idea Of the work we have &C.
complished this fall may be given
by our production figures-13,O2 ,978
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-
plicatlon In connection with the physi-
clans treatment, and thousandssof peo-
pie. unable to obtain doctor, relied
on Vick's almost exclusively.
Literally millions of families all over

OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

1t 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 1st, we have been running 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.INsTATEp
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 10% 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, 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 drop
ped behind the prescription counter.
Wholesale druggists called their sales
men Off the road to help fill orders
hundreds wired us to ship vick's vapo-
Rub by the quickest route, regardless
of expense.

LONGER AND WIDER SKIRTS
Conservative Styles Are Predicted By
the Fashion AT League at Chi
cago Convention.

Feminine styles the coming fall are
to he much different from those now
prevailing-much different.
Skirts will be IOnger-much wider
more conservative.
And in this connection there Is a
war just starting war BY American
women to make the style more con-
sentative.
This was the news coming from
within the Fashion Art league, IN con-
vpntIon recently in Chicago. The
dOughboy Is at the bottom Of the whole
thing. In France the Parisenne beau
ties wear extreme styles. When the
doughhoy struck that country he was
daZZied. Styles became more and
more extreme. and when he started
home ne was full Of new ideas OF
styles. but the American girls rebelled
they went on a fashion strike, de-
handing new styles.
The correct skirt length, according
TO Madame ALA Ripley, president Of
the league, should be six to eight
inches above the ground. OF course,
the width viii be built around the per
son, but generosity win be plentiful
among the designers, It was pointed
out. FOrty-seven inches was agreed
on as the average width for the slen-t

Ready-to-Wear Clothes Have
Many Advantages.
Mothers Prefer to Rely on Garments
Which They Believe Look Better
Than Those They Make.

Each season, assert the shOpkeep-
ers, there Is more and more demand
for ready-made clothes for children.
Not that there are more children. but
that more mothers are relying on the
ready-tO-wear garments, which are
really so much better looking than
anything they can fashion at home
without spending a good deal Of pre-
ciOus time in the process. Even II the
modern mother is a good needlewOman
she finds that fine sewing is the least
requirement. Styles in children s
clothes change rapidly nowadays; the
same models are not worn year after
year as they used 10 be. One does not
recall these frantic style changes in
ones own childhood. There was the
Observation-Disclosures with a sash or
lOw-placed leather belt. And there was
the plated skirt with a sailor blouse.
And there was the guimpe dress. Al
most all frOcks for little girls kept TO
these fundamental principles.
1t is interesting to watch the style
developments In raiment for small
girls. Features that are the fads Of
one season usually appear the next
season as salient points Of juvenile
garb.
Why this Is, no one quite knows;
but II is so. FrOcks for little girls
this autumn show Over-the-waist bod
Ices, tied at the back In a sash. They
show long over-blOuses with fringe at
the edge. They show straight lines
and loose belts and sasheS and round
necks edged with plated frills. Every
day frocks are Of serge, Of wool jersey,
Of tricotine. and the favored trimmings
are buttons, braid, angora wool, silk
embroidery and loop fringe. Taffeta
and even satin dresses are shown for
girls from seven to twelve years old
and the tafreta frOcks, particularly,
are quaint and charming In their soft,
bright colors and childish style.
One blue pOplin model is an excel
lent choice for autumn school days. II
IL q little more substantial In weight
than a tub frock. yet Is not so heavy
and warm as an all-woOl costume. It
hlls in the gap between summer and
winter admirably-thOugh. Of course. II
must be supplemented by several tub
dresses for wear on those sultry days
that always come. This blue pOplin
model might be developed successfully
in tafreta, with lace or hand-embroid-
cred collar and cuffs for formal Occa-
sions; the blue pOplin, with its collar
and cuffs Of the material and neat
white lawn yestee. Is an ideal school
frock.

TULLE TURBAN IS BECOMING
Headgear That Is Pretty and Easily
Fashioned; Brown Shades Are
Popular.

The tulle turban is on the top wave
Of popularity just now: and no won
der. for II Is so pretty and 50 easily
fashioned, and the sOftness OF the
tulle makes il very becoming. Among
the prettiest Of these turbans are
those in brown shades.
Usually brown satin is used for the
entire hat, though now and then
geOrgette is employed. The tulle Of
the exact shade as the hat material
is swathed around the crown in Turk
ish fashion. several thicknesses being
rolled into a sort Of scarf and drawn
around the crown. A variation treat
ment is seen in the clOse-fitting tur-
ban with a soft crown and no brim.
At the sides a circle Of the tuIle has
been wired and left outstanding to
give a wide fare around the hat.

Mendina Lace.

Small breaks in lace can be very
perfectly mended with a little care
and patience. Place a tiny knot at the
end Of your thread and draw the
thread through the place where the
lace is broken, joining the broken
thread to the lace proper. Then draw
a succession Of loop knots over the
floating thread very tightly close TO
the base. Now follow with the new
thread the course that the old thread
had taken and do the same with the
other loose end, knOtting 1t securely
close to the body lace. Cut away the
loose ends and the break Is no longer
pereepdble.

designers who are adopting the prin-
cess frOck, states a fashion writer.
OF course, the princess Of this year
is a very different affair from that
tightly nodded dress which pOlieed the.
figure some years ago. Very often the
distinctive touch is confined to one
side and draplng is arranged so skill
fully that the line is becoming to both
slim and not so.
A new evening frOck is Of white tat.
feta embroidered in silver and COM
bined with silver lace, which gives an
echo Of the princess mode on one side
only. Like so many Of the evening
frOcks at present, an ostrich plume Is
employed as the climax Of trimming.
Both are as familiar I'm dress scenery
as they are in desert scenery.
