WASHINGTON', March 10 The mid

dle west will get the lion's share of Important committee chairmanships In the lower house of the next congress, if the Republican slate goes through. There are eleven important committees. Eight of these are to be presided over by middle westerners, two by easterners, and one by a congressman from the Pacific coast. There is every likelihood, however, that the cast will be satisfied. Frederick Gillett, slated for the speakership, hails from New England, and J. Hampton Moor, who is likely to be the next Republican floor leader, is a Pennsylvanian. Several minor committee chairmanships will go to the east. The chairmen of the ten principal committees and the rules committee, which includes only ten members, none of whom may hold a major chairmanship, will be the foll.ving: i Ways and Means Fordney of Michigan.

Ohio News in Flashes

Smut, a former ally of the Huns and now a supporter of the Bolsheviks, will be driven from Indiana oat fields this year, if every farmer in the state will purchase a few pints of formaldehyde, an atomizer and treat his seed before planting. Incidentally, he will get several more bushels of oats off of every acre he sows and of course, will reap the greater profit, as it costs only about two cents to destroy the smut germs on enough seen to sow an acre. Botanists from the extension department of Purdue University and others from the Department of Agriculture are giving a series of demonstrations with county agricultral agents throughout the state now, showing the farmers who have not yet learned how to treat their seed and how to prevent smut. Smut causes a loss of about 7,000,000 bushels of oats in Indiana every

year, the disease causing the heads to dry up, become black and blow away. At present market price this is worth more than $4,000,000. There would be this amount to divide among Indiana's 220,000 farmers, about $17.00 each, if everyone treated his seed oats before sowing. Two general methods, the wet and dry, are used, successfully in combatting this oats disease. The dry method, which is just as effective and which is being advocated because it is much simpler and requires much less labor, is as follows: Mix one pint of formaldehyde with one pint of water and use in a small hand sprayer, as the accompanying photograph shows. Such sprayers may be obtained for 50 or 75 cents. Spray the solution on the grain as it is being thoveled over, holding the sprayer close to the grain and taking care that the mist is well distributed. One stroke of the sprayer gives enough mist for each shovelful of

grain. One quart of the solution will treat 50 bushels. When all grain is treated, shovel it into a pile and carefully cover for five hours the same as under the wet method. See that the covering Is treated the same way be

fore spreading it over the seed. The grain may be sown immediately after the treatment or allowed to aerate thoroughly and then be stored in disinfected sacks or bins until needed. Care should be taken by the man treating his seed to disinfect the drill and other implements with which the seed comes in contact, so that the seed may not become re-infected.

DRUGGISTS! VICK'S VAPORUB SHORTAGE OVERCOME AT LAST

It 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 a 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-INSTATED This deal, which we had expected to put on last November and which has to be postponed on account of the shortage of VavoRub, is re-instated for the month of March. This allows a discount of 10 on shipments from jobbers' stock of quantities of from 1 to 4 gross. 5 of this discount is allowed by the jobber and 5 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 a shortage of physiciansnurses were almost impossible to obtain 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 dropped behind the prescription counter. Wholsnl rlme-ciKta olloH flint.

Hundreds wired us to ship Vick's VapoRub by the quickest route, regardless of expense.

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE OUR PRODUCTION In this emergency we have tried to do our part. We scoured 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 manufacturers to increase their deliveries to us. But it was a 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 salesmen Into the factory and trained them as foremen. We invented new machinery, and managed to Install it 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 nunarea ana rony-tnree jars or VapoRub a minute or one million and eighty thousand weekly, has required a force of 600 people. Our Cafe department, created for the benefit of these workers, served 7,000. meals during" the month of January alone. 13 MILLION JARS OF VAPORUB DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER An idea of the work we have accomplished this Fall may be given by our production figures 13,028,976 Jars of VapoRub manufactured and distributed since last October1 one jar for every two families in the entire United States. During the influenza epidemic, Vick's VapoRub was used as an external application in connection with the physician's treatment, and thousands of people, unable to obtain a doctor, relied on Vick's almost exclusively. Literally millions of families all over the country, from California to, Maine,

ana irom tne Ureat Lakes to the Gu!f have found Vick's VapoRub the ideal home remedy for croup and cold troubles. ,
