"I had the pleasure of picking up one of the Kaiser's famous Prussian guards as my prisoner," the letter says. I took some of the buttons off his coat. All the fight wa3 out of him before I got done with him. 1 turned him over to division headquarters and that was the last I heard of him. Mad of course he was and so was I.

WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY Thla column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county aoldlers and sailora. will appear dally la the Palladium. Contribution! will be welcomed. "Today was the greatest day since I arrived overseas. I received my first mail from the good old U. S. A." writes Private . Harry L. Bertrand, serving in the field artillery in France, in a letter to The Palladium. "A soldier over here can never get too much fail from home for home news goes pretty good over here and all the boys surely do appreciate1 all the mail they receive. "I enjoyed the voyage very much, except when the sea got very rough, and I was somewhat seasick. There was not a morning or evening passed but what I was on deck to see the sun rise and set and it sure was a beautiful scene. "We passed the beautiful shores of Ireland and saw some beautiful scenery and many of the big old-time windmills and later sailed up the River Clyde and finally landed at Glassgow Scotland, the home of Harry Lauder, the famous singer and comedian, which ended our trip. From Glassgow we had a two days' trip by rail going through Scotland and England and arrived at Winchester, England, where we went in camp for a few days rest. During our stay at Winchester we were out a day on a sight seeing trip and saw some wonderful sights also went through the Winchester Cathedral and college, the two oldest and largest in the world, built in the year 1910. From Winchester we had a nice little hike with full packs of about sixty pounds on our backs and marched 16 miles to Southampton where we crossed the English channel and landed at LeHavre, France, where we went into camp for a few days' rest. I am now stationed in a very pretty part of France. Our eats are fine and plenty of it, and we have very good sleeping quarters. But most everything here is most always scarce and high. Butter is J1.20 a pound, eggs $1.10 a dozen, peach 15 cents each, apples 10 cents each, bananas 80 cents a dozen, matches 20 cents a box, and toilet and laundry soap 50 cents a bar. "Saw 35 American locomotives in one stretch ringing their bells in true American fashion. The bells are music in the ears of Americans. "Passed a Chinese camp here today and saw about2,000 Chinese soldiers going through squads right and left. . "Saw Stanley Smith here today. He is in the medical corps here in the base hospital. We had mess with the officers at the base and had some honest to goodness American ice cream and cake made by an American negro cook from Virginia. At a Red Cross canteen saw Mrs. Rabord serve 1,500 cups of coffee in ten mini uies. "Today I saw 15 big six-inch guns that were captured from the Germans by the Americans in the last drive. "They are still building barracks and keeping things moving as always" writes Domenik Smarrella from Fortress Monroe, "by the way things look I don't think I will get across, but I surely hope I do. Last night Christine Miller sang here and she surely can sing. They told us at the Y. M. C. A. that Madame Schuman-Heink woduld be next. We can always have a good time at the Y. M. C. A. It was given by Helen Gould." "They sure had a great time in Chicago celebrating when they heard peace had come," writes W. H. Vogelsong, stationed at the Great Lakes Training Station. "There wasn't much celebrating here for we have already had two wild rumora before this one. It certainly looks like it would be over before long, though." "People over there should see us boys now," writes Private Raymond Yundt, formerly of Greensfork, now serving with the American forces in France. "We are big and healthy and strong and in good spirits. They ask notning better than a hard job to perform. "I am having a'pretty good time now. I am riding a motorcycle carrying messages, dispatch riding we call it. Of course we have pretty hard work dodging shell holes without lights, and sometimes a 'peace note' as we call the big shells, drops pretty near us. But it is a pretty good job at that compared with some I know. "Uncle Sam has provided good care for us, with your help in buying Lioerty bonds," says Ralph Wynn, writ ing from the U. S. S. Iowa. "I hope Richmond was up to its standard in the fourth drive. "The squad of which I am a member took out in bonds alone $1,150, and the ship has to its credit $42,850 in bonds. "Mail i3 the only thing a sailor needs to keep life in him. Sometimes when he does not receive a letter when he thinks he should he gets a little peeved, that only lasts until he receives a letter from mother, dad or sweetheart, then he is the happiest man in the world so tell the folks at homo to write to that salior lad often and tell him the news, for even alhough he does not answer right away t will put life in him. and that Is what need to lick the Hun."

Lindstrom have !

crave water. He was thirteen days'.Renard

He i work-1 ing on aeroplane motors now ' Fred Perscnnette of Cambridge City ; from Capt. W. A. Moffet of the Great - Captain W. A. Moffctt of the Great Lakes training station where his son, i Hugh Wessel Personette, was located up to the time of his death. Captain Moffett complimented the boy on his satisfactory record and his splendid services rendered during his training there. "It may be a source of satisfaction and comfort to you to know that this boy-gave his life for his country just as surely as do men who fall in battle," the letter says, "and that he is entitled to all honor and credit for havins made this sunreme saorifie.p." "Here I am on a furlough at

Les- Baines, France," writes Robert! to the Palladium, telling of his duties Dickerson. "A few days ago we boys j and the organization in his division, were told that a few of us would be "In the division of which I am a granted furloughs, and that they would mfmber" he says, "are fcur field hostake into consideration our past re-ipital companies, three motor and one cord.

Here I have been living in the trenches, dugouts, and in the open, in rain and sunshine, sometimes a dry place to sleep in and sometimes not, and now after that to be put into a place like this, with so many more comforts than I ever expected to enjoy. Just think of me as having some time and living high. "I can not but think of the changes that have come over this bunch of fellows. When we left for this triD. we were sights. I was mud from

DRUGGISTS STILL ASKED TO CONSERVE STOCK OF VAP0RUB NEEDED SN "FLU" DISTRICTS Influenza Epidemic is Decreasing in Most Sections and the Demand is Slackening But We Are StHl 1 8,000 Gross Behind on Orders and it Will Take Some Time to Catch up.

THREE MILLION JARS SHIPPED DURING OCTOBER On Monday, October 21, we addressed an advertisement to the wholesale and retail drug trade, advising that we were badly oversold, due to the influeiTza epidemic, stating that all deals and quantity shipments were postponed, and requesting that VapoRub be purchased in small lots only. This condition still prevails. At this writing we have back orders for eighteen thousand (18,000) gross and our orders each day are double our daily output. The epidemic, however, is decreasing in most sections, the demand is slackening and we are working night and day to catch up. In the meantime, we ask Lthe trade to be patient with' us." ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCKS On October 1st we had on hand at the factory and in twenty warehouses over the country a tremendous stock of VapoRub, accumulated during the summer months. This is now gone we actually shipped during the month of October over three million jars of VapoRub. We are speeding up our factory as much as possible and the problem, now, is to distribute the facj tory's output as quickly as possible. We have, therefore, for the time being, abandoned freight shipments and are shipping either by Parcel Post or express trying to give each jobber at least a little stock. IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO DRUGGISTS IN INFLUENZA DISTRICTS Preference Is being given to those sections stricken by influenza. In or der to reach these sections as quickly as can be, we are, during this emergency, making shipments by Parcel Post, direct, to the retail trade, of not more than three (3) dozen 30c size in any one shipment. ' We prefer that the jobbers order these shipments for their trade, but to save time we will, if the need is urgent, ship direct on receipt of check or money order. Naturally, no new accounts can be opened during this rush. SAMPLES AND INFLUENZA BOOKLETS FREE ON REQUEST We have prepared a little folder giving all the information available so far on SpanisS"influenza its origin the symptoms and the treatment, and

The training of the men of the field hospital has consisted of little drills, bandaging and first aid to the wounded, and rescuing and carrying patients from the trench and a certain amount of squad and sanitary formation drill. This may seem to the casual reader, a simple outline of work. To accomplish these drills with gas masks on, and with as much speed as possible, is not such a simple matj ter." these will be forwarded to druggists on request. We will also be glad to mail to any individual one of these booklets, together with a quarterounce sample, free. 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 internal treatment. Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Dry lightly and rub VapoRub well In until the skin is 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, inhaled with each breath, stimulate the lining of the air passage to throw off the influenza germs. In case ol head or chest cold, which often 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 tn relieving the congestion within. HOW TO USE VICK'S VAPORUB AS A PREVENTATIVE It is questionable if there is anything which will prevent Spanish influenza, except avoiding those persons who are spreading the disease bv coughing, sneezing and spitting, and by keeping up the bodily resistance by plenty of good food and exercise 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 th3 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 water put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising.

The influenza runs a very brief course when the patient is careful, and if we keep the svstem in good condition and throw off the poisons which tend to accumulate within our bodies, we can escape the disease.

Hot lemonade should be used freely if attacked by a cold, and the patient should be put. to bed after a hot mustard foot-bath. , To prevent the attack cf bronchitis or pneumonia and to control the pain, Anuric tablets should' be obtained at the drug store, and one given every two hours,, with lemonade. The Anuric tablets were first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and, as they flush the bladder and cleanse the kidneys, they carry away much of the poisons and the uric acid. It is Important that broths, milk, buttermilk, ice cream and simple diet be given regularly to strengthen the system and increase the vital resistance. The fever is diminished by the use of the Anuric tablets, but in addition, the forehead, arms and hands jmay be bathed with water (tepid) in which a tablespoonful of saiaratus ; has been dissolved in a quart.
