This advertisement Is written on
Monday October 21st It is directed to
the attention of all distributors of
Vick's YnpoRub both wholesale and
"retail In an emergency such ns the
present epidemic — our duty — and your
duty — Is to distribute VnpoRub In the
quickest possible manner to those sec-
tions stricken by Influenza We there-
fore call your careful attention to the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP-
PLY IS NOT CONSERVED
On October 1st we bad on hand at
our Factory and In twenty warehouses
scattered over the country sufficient
VnpoRub to last us we thought until
January 1st allowing for n 50 per cent
Increase over Inst year’s sales and not
counting our daily output This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months
Then this epidemic of Spanish In-
fluenza hit us— and in the last ten days
this Rtock has vanished At first we
thought this tremendous denlnnd
would last only a few days but the
orders hnve run :

of VnpoRub
THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS-
j TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY
! Most of this tremendous quantity Is
still en route to the Jobbers but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays and It may be some
time before this supply reaches the
Jnhhprs In the meantime therefore
' It Is necessary that we distribute as
widely as possible the stock that we
are manufacturing dally together with
that now on the jobbers’ and retailers’
shelves In order that It may get to
the Influenza districts quickly Our
normal output Is about 4000 dozen
per day We are putting on a night
shift but It will be a little while be-
fore that Is producing

SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH
INFLUENZA
We will send on request to any re-
tail druggist 100 or more little book-
lets just issued on Spanish Influenza
giving the latest Information about
this disease — Its history — the symp-
toms — the treatment and particularly
the use of Vick’s VapoRub as an ex-
ternal application to supplement the
physician's treatment
NEW WAY8 TO USE VAPORUB
In addition to the usual method of
using VapoRub — that Is applied over
the throat and chest find covered with
hot flannel cloths — our customers are
writing us dally telling of their suc-
cess in using VapoRub In other ways
particularly as a preventive They
melt a little In a spoon and Inhale the
vapors arising or melt It In a benzoin
steam kettle Where the steam kettle
Is not available VapoRub can be used
In an ordinary teakettle Fill the tea-
kettle half full of boiling watef put la
half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time
to time— keep the kettle Just slowly
boiling and Inhale the steam arising
According to a 'Bulletin just Issued
by the Public Health Service Ir
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance For this purpose VapoRub
Is excellent— Just put a little np the
nostrils from time to time and snuff
well back Into the air passages -

IOWA DOES GOOD ROAD WORK
Lincoln Highway Official fa Pleased
With Progress — Each County Prc-
" paring to Aid
That good work is being done In
the Improvement of the Lincoln high-
way through Iowa Is the assertion of
H G Ostermann field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway association Mr
Ostermann recently made a trip of in-
spection through the Hawkeye state
nd the results were more than satis-
factory to him
On his journey across the state the
Lincoln highway official was accom-
panied by D E Goodcll of Tama Ia
state consul of the Lincoln Highway'
association and Thomas H MacDon-
Sid J W Holden and H C Beard of
the Iowa state highway commission
Enthusiastic and well-attended Lin-
coln highway meetings were held at
numerous points across the state a
splendid program of Lincoln highway
Improvement was revealed by the re-
ports submitted at these meetings
Covering the most Important develop-
ments Mr Ostermann states:
"Seventeen miles of the Lincoln
highway In Clinton county' hnve al-
ready been graveled with federal aid
funds applications for federal aid
funds have also been made by Cedar
nnd Pottawattnmle counties and sim-
ilar applications will be filed In the
'Immediate future by Linn Tama Ben-
ton and probably Crawford counties”
A Lincoln highway seedling mile is
now under way In Linn connty and
existing arrangements call for thd
complete graveling of all the rest of
the Lincoln highway in the connty
In a similar fashion the plans in Mar-
shall county call for the graveling of
every foot of the Lincoln hlghwny
from county line to county line Story
Boone and Greene counties are prac-
tically all graveled at the present time
and an all-weather road Is reported
The visiting officials found that
Crawford county had spent more
money thnn any other' county In the
state In grading the Lincoln highway
Field Secretary Ostermann and
State Consul Goodell expect that by
Good Stretch of Road In Iowa
the end of 1918 there will be 1000 sus-
taining members of the Lincoln High-
way association In Iowa
Plans for the permanent marking of
the route across the state were dis-
cussed with the various local officials
and consuls of the national associa-
tion and each county in the state Is
preparing to aid In financing this proj-
ect to the extent of $300 A start has
been made In this direction following
the action of Pottawattamie county In
voting $200 for this purpose to which
the city of Council Bluffs has added
$100
The importance of the Lincoln
highway Improvement In Iowa was at-
tested by the presence and Interest of
State Engineer MacDonald and his as-
sociates at the various meetings
REPAIRS NEEDED FOR ROADS
Necessity and Desirability of Ellmlnat
Ing Holes and Ruts Should Be
Brought Out
In order that the roads may not be
entirely destroyed or put Into a condi-
tion requiring complete rehabilitation
the government ought to Impress upon
states counties cities villages and
townships the necessity and desirabil-
ity of eliminating every mudhole every
depression by filling in It should ask
that culverts and bridges be kept In
reasonable state of repair and it should
command that every highway should
regularly - and systematically be
dragged after every rain that blgb
spots may be eliminated low spots
filled and the roads made as smooth
and safe as possible with this tem-
porary scheme to aldas far as pos-
sible transportation over public high-
ways— Pitt and Quarry
Swift & Company
Has Not “Jest Growed”
Swift & Company in fifty years'of well
ordered growth has become one of the
great national services because it has
learned to do something for the American
people which they needed to have done
for them in the way in which they
preferred to have it done
It has met eafch successive demand in
the changing conditions of national life
by getting good meat to increasing mil-
lions effectively efficiently economically
and expeditiously
The Swift & Company packing plants
refrigerator cars par routes branch
houses organization and personnel of
- - today are the practical solutions bom of
practical experience to the food problems
of half a century
' Because of all these elements working in
correlation and unison Swift & Company
is able to supply more and better meat to
more peojfle than would have been pos-
sible otherwise at a net profit per pound of
meat so low (a fraction of a cent) that the
consumer price is practically unaffected
Strip away any portion of this vast
smooth-running human machine and you
make a large part of the meat supply
' uncertain lose the benefit of half a century
of fruitful experience and scatter the
intelligent energies of men who have
devoted a life work toward meeting the
needs of a nation in one vital field
