3 MILLION JARS SHIPPED DURING OCTOBER
On Monday, October 21, we ad

wholesale and retail drug trade, ad

due to the influenza epidemic, stat
ing that all deals and quantity ship

prevails.
At this writing we have back or

This is now gone we actually
shipped during the month of Octo
ber over three million jars of Vapo

tory as much as possible and the
problem now is to distribute the
factory's output as quickly as pos
sible. We have, therefore, for the
time being, abandoned freight ship

HOW TO USE VAPORUB IN
TREATING SPANISH
INFLUENZA.
In every case call a physician
VapoRub should be used only in
connection with the physician's in
ternal treatment.
Apply hot, wet cloths over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder bladerto open the pores.
Dry lightly and mb VapoRub well
in until the skin in red spread on
thickly and cover with hot flannel
cloths. Leave" the bed-covering
loose around the neck, as the body
heat releases the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, in
haled with each breath, stimulate
the lining of the air passages to
throw off the influenza germs. In
ease of head or chest cold, which
oftfn accompanies influenza, the
vapors tend to keep the air passages
open, loosen the phlegm and make
the breathing easier. In addition,
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO USE VICK'S VAPORUB
AS A PREVENTIVE.
It is questionable if there is any
thing which will prevent Spanish In
fluenza, except avoiding those per
sons who are spreading the disease
by coughing, sneezing and spitting,
and by keeping up the bodily resist
ance by plenty of good food and ex
ercise in the open air. The Public
Health Service recommends that the
nasal passages be coated with a
weak solution of Menthol in liquid
petroleum as a protective. For this
purpose VapoRub is excellent. Just
put a. small portion up each nostril
from time to time during the day
and snuff well back into the head.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY
INHALING VAPORUB.
Colds irritate the lining of the air
passages and thus render them a
much better breeding place for the
germs. At the first signs of a cold
use VapoRub at once. Melt a little
in a spoon and inhale the vapors
arising, or VapoRub can be used in
a regular benzoin steam kettle, such
as most druggists carry in stock. If
this is not available, a very good
substitute to use. is an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter put in half a teaspoon of Vapo
Rub from time to time keen the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhale
.also be glad to mail to any individ-' the steam arising.

A Sugar Fallacy-
Exploded
One thing that the present sugar
situation has done for the Ameri
can housewife is to disabuse vher
mind of the old fallacy that there is
a difference between cane and beet
sugar. With tht present limit on
the amount of any kind o sugar
that any one can purchase, the one
purchasing has never said she pre
ferred cane sugar; she has meekly
accepted whatever was offered her
and said "Thank you" - for that.
Formerly we would hear one
woman, "Beet sugar will not make
good jelly," another would insist
that she could not make frostings
from beet sugar; aud a third would
make some other condemnation
against the innocent beet sugar.
v History of Sugar.
I suppose originally there was
some truth in the prejudice against
that kind of sugar. For cane sugar
has a history extending back over
many centuries, while beet sugar is
a thoroughly modern product.
When the soldiers of Alexander the
Great penetrated into India, they

brought .back marvelous tales of a
substance sweeter than honey. The
sugar cane gradually moved west
ward as east met west. It camo
west through northern Africa,
and was brought to the new world
by the Spaniards. Beet sugar, as a
practical product, has a war history.
In the middle of the eighteenth cen
tury it was discovered; but was
interesting only as a laboratory pro
duct, until the -European supply of
imported sugar was cut off during
the blockade of the Napoleonic war.
Then beet sugar, a product of a
temperate climate, assumed com
mercial importance, as it could be
raised on the continent of Europe.
Cane sugar, of course, is a semi
tropical product.
The manufacture of the two kinds
of sugar differs in the initial pro
cesses. The cane is pressed between
rollers to crush out the juice, which
juice is then purified, reduced to a
syrup and crystallized. Ihis crystal
lized sugar is the raw. or . brown
sugar. The beets are sliced, warm
water run over the slices in a spe
cial apparatus to extract the sugar;
then this water is purified some
what differently than the cane juice.
After the purification of the juice,
the processes are practically like
those employed for cane sugar. The
raw sugar of either kind is washed,
dissolved, decolorized, then concen
trated and crystallized once again.
It is stometimes sprayed with blue
coloring to increase the whiteness
of the sugar. There is one marked
difference between cane and beet
sugar in the raw state, and that is
that the raw beet sugar is not pal
atable. Chemical Nature of the Two Sugars.
So far as the chemical nature of
the two sugars is concerned, they
are identical. They contain the
same ejements, in the same quan
tities, and the arrangement ot the
elements in the molecule is alike.
A food chemist will tell you very
emphatically that there is no dif
ference between cane and beet
sugar.
Possible Basis of the Fallacy.
If all of the above statements are
true, why did the housewife ever
get the notjon that she could not
use beet ugar? I suppose she was

sugar was more or less in the hands
of small manufacturers who had not
the equipment nor the experts cap

Would Restrict Efforts
of "Do Goods"
William Allen White, who has
spent some time, abroad, feels that
"the swarms of Do Goods who are
coming to France on trivial "or im
possible mission" should be re
stricted. "Every soldier letter," he says,
"comes to America full of praise
for the work of the Red Cross, the
Y. M. C. A., the war organizations
of the Knights of Columbus and the
Jewish peoples, but it stops right
there. And the letter? are full of
resentment for the hordes of evan
gelists, petty religious organization
representatives, congressmen, col
lege professors doing 'research
work,' women representatives of al
leged 'relief societies, who go to
France and get in the way.
"Such monkey business should be
stopped. The Red Cross, the Y.
M. C. A. and kindred religious
organizations, which are national in
their scope, should be in complete
charge of war work. If there is
any investigating to be done, offi
tials of the organizations should
make the investigations. But pussy

ADVENTURE
By DADDY
"The Dancing Damsel"
(Teggjr nd Billy Belgium, on a flying
trip tn Dixie, go to the aid ot th Danc
ing Damsel and the Boy Knight, who
hav been partetd by the Damsel's step
father, who seeks to wed her to rich old
'Gold Teeth.)
CHAPTER VI.
The Flying Elopement,
EGGY made herself small and
went flying to the ground to
meet Dancing Damsel. Billy
Belgium was in such a hurry that
he slid down the rope right after
her.
.The Damsel reached the ground
just before Gold leeth came rush
ing from the house. She darted
into the shrubbery of the garden,
and was out of sight when Gold
Teeth reached the bottom of the
rope and looked up,
Billy wa, of course, invisible, and
Gold Teeth didn't see him. Neither
did Billy see Gold Teeth until ,alN were outstretched to grab the Danc
of a sudden he landed right on Gold ing Damsel. '
The astonished old
Teeth's head
man was sent sprawling into a
thorny rosebush, while Billy, no less
surprised, picked himself up and
ran after the Damsel.
Bald Pate, coming" from the
house, saw his stepdaughter run
ning through the brushes toward
the garden wall. He took after her
at full speed. Gold Teeth, scratch
ed and angry, untangled himself
from the rosebush thorns and join
ed in the chase.
The Dancing Damsel was ham
pered by her wedding finery and
could not run very -fast. There
fore, the two men gained rapidly
on her and were close behind when
she reached the garden wait.
The wall was of stone and was
very high. Peggy, who had made
herself large again and was racing
along after them, could not see how
the fleeing girl could possibly climb
it. At one corner of the garden,
however, was a grapevine trellis,
and it .was toward this that the
Damsel was making. But Bald
Pate and Gold Teeth 'were only a
few steps away. They would grab
her the instant she started to climb.
Gold Teeth's coat tails were stick
ing right out behind as he ran,
Peggy seized them and pulled with
afl her weight. The jar stopped

hand information."
Mr. White probably had not heard
of the winnowing idea of the united
war work campaign when he wrote
these trenchant statements.

Gold Teeth tried to stop himself,
but i'eggy gave him a big shovs
forward and sent him pitching over
Bald Pate into another thorny rose
bush.
Now Gold Teeth really was mad.
The bumps and scratches put him
in an awful temper and he thrashed
Oit with his fist at the nearest ob
ject. That nearest object was Bald
Pate's, eye. And when the fist land
ed in' Bald Pate's eye he became
fighting mad and kicked at Gold
Teeth. In an instant they were
pummeling each other like a couple
of angry schoolboys.
Meanwhile the Dancing Damsel
was climbing the grapevine trellis.
It was hard work, dressedas she
was in her wedding gown. It seem
ed that she would never gain the
top. Behind her, the two men sud
denly remembered that while they
were fighting, she was escaping.
Quitting their quarrel, they grabbed
at her, but they grabbed too late.
The Boy Knight had appeared at
the top of the wall and had snatched
his sweetheart out of their reach.
Bald Pate and Gold Teeth started
td climb thi trellis in pursuit, but
here General and Mrs. Swallow took
a hand. The General nipped Bald
Pate's ear, and Mrs. Swallow nipped
Gold Teeth's nose. At tne same mo
ment Peggy grasped Bald Pate's leg
and Billy grabbed Gold Teeth. Down
came the two crashing together.
Ba)d Pate thought Gold Teeth had
attacked him, and Gold Teeth
thought the other way around. So
they both flew into an awful rage
and went at each other, v madder
than ever.
The roar of an airplane sounded
right over head. Peggy and Billy
looked up. Soaring over the garden
were the Boy Knight and the Danc
in Damsel. They waved goodby
to their unseen helpers and sailed
away for the nearest parsonage to
be married. As they rose over
the treetops, the first ray of the
rising sun caught them In a golden
glow. It seemed a happy omen for'
their wedded future.
Peggy, seeing the sunlight, re-,
memberd she had to hurry home
to get ready to start for the fair. .
"So have I," shouted Billy Bel
gium, when she told him. "Good
by, General 1 Goodby, Mrs. Swal
low 1"
"Goodbye!" shrilled the Swal
lows, and with their farewells ring
ing in her ears, Peggy herself rushed
by the Golickety charrn, right back
into her -own snug room.

ing adventure with gypslea at the fair.)
