Thto advertisement Is written on
Monday, October 2 let. It I directed
to the attention of all distributors of
Vlck' VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency auch as the
present epidemic our duty and
your duty Is to distribute VapoRub
In the quickest possible manner to
those sections etrioken by Influenza.
We, therefore, call your careful atten
tion to the following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IP SUP
PLY IS NOT CONSERVED.
On October 1st we had on hand, at
our Factory and In twenty warehouse
scattered over the country, sufficient
VapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January 1st, allowing for a 60 In
crease over last year's sales, and not
counting our dally output. This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during; the summer month.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fluenza hit us and In the last 10 days
this etock. has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would' last only a few day, but the
orders have run:
Wed., Oct. 1 18,504 Doz.
Thur., Oct. 17 26,323 "
Pri., Oct. 18 39.258 "
Sat.. Oct. 1 45,833 "
Man., Oct. 21 77,705 "
Up to Saturday, October 19th. we
have actually shipped for this month
$400,284.10, or over two million Jars
of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity
Is still en route to the jobbers, but,
freight and express are both congest
ed nowadays, and It may be sometime
before this supply reaches the Jobbers.
In the meantime, therefore, It is nec
essary that we distribute, as widely as
possible, the stock that we are manu
facturing dally, together with that
now on the Jobbers' and retailers'
shelves, In order that It may get to
the Influenia districts quickly. Our
normal outpnt is about 4,000 dozen
per day. We are putting on a nJght
shift, but It will be a little while be

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25 Details of
the achievement of the navy depart

the western front of the great naval
guns, which press disnatches here rn-

The naval guns, which hare been
In operation since September 18, orig

cruisers, but a change in the design
of the vessels left the guns unavtll-IM

sent to the western front and he was

Manned By Naval Men.
The guns are manned and operated
by officers and men of the United
States navy, under the command of
Rear Admiral Plunkett, former direc-
tor of the office of gunnery exercises'
and engineering performances. The j
first party of officers and men to
handle the guns arrived in France
June 9; the first shipment of material
left this country June 20 and the en
tire organization was completed and
ready to move to the battle front in
France late in August.
The guns are said to throw a
heavier projectile and have a greater
muzzle velocity than any weapon ever
placed on a mobile land mounting.
The welpht of the explosive used with
each projectile Is many times greater
than that used in the freak German
long range guns and in point of their
destructive force tney are incom
parable.
Heavily Armored.
The organization to man one gun
requires an entire train, Including the
gun car ltseir. ammunition cars, a
crane car, and construction, sand,
timber, kitchen, fuel, workshop, berth
ing and staff radio cars. Many of the
cars were especially manufactured by
the Standard Steel Car company and
the locomotives eighty-three-ton types
with four pair of drivers, were built
hv the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
One car is a complete machine shop,
equipped with forge, lathes, grinders
and drill presses. The gun car aa well
as the ammunition cars are heavily
armored, 1,600 square feet of plate
being required.
The gun car Is convertible Into a
form of pit foundation to permit Are
at high angles of elevation, and it was
said the entire process of placing the
gun in that position and restoring It
to complete mobility requires only a
few minutes. Under test, on Its steel.
car mounting, the gun has shown ac
curacy of fire at longer ranges then
ever before possible with guns of such
great calibre. Direction of the fire
nnnn fl n V t ;i reet Is made possible
simply by shifting the position of the
gun mount on tne iracKs.
Were Made In Washington.
Plans for the gun mountings as well
as for the trains were worked out at
the naval gun factory In Washington
within thirty days and contracts were

completed In April and tests were held
at the army proving grounds at Sandy
