GERMAN OFFICERS
TEAR KAISER TAG
OFF WAR REGALIA
Commander of Brussels Says
Extinction of .'MMhi,OOO
1 luns Is Ample rice
Ghent, Nov. 15.—There is no or
ganized-authority yet in Brussels, but.
with comparative, culm and dignity,
the Belgian capital awaits the com
ing of the armies of liberation.
on Sunday three delegates from
the "republic of Hamburg" arrived
at Brussels. Standing on a balcony,
the military commander of the city
addressed u crowd of 3.000 soldiers
and civilians.
"Three million Germans have been
killed during the war," he said. "That
Is sufficient. Let ua have peace."
(Itinera! Veil PalkeuhsuSon, the
German governor general of Belgium,
received the delegate* end in the
meantime French and Belgian Social
ists addressed the crowd. Then a
sailor nimbly climbed up to the bal
cony and nailed a red tablecloth to
the railing amid clicers.
After an interview of in hour with
the delegates. General Von Falken
bausen reappeared and announced
that he had resigned and had ac
cepted the delegates' terms. These
were: First, immediate peace; sec
ond. that telegrams be sent to the
front instructing the soldiers to re
turn to Germany; third, that no or
ders be given without the assent of
the soldiers' committee; fourth, that
all units, from division to company,
shall elect representatives to the sol
diers' committee.
Ask* Peaceable Departure
The governor general asked that
ttie Germans depart peaceably and
respect life and property. German
officers then of,their own volition be
gan to strip tin- insignia from their
uniforms. Some of them, however,
'were sullen and depressed.
A letter had been received from
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, who
was at Bingen-n-the-Rhine. It was
read to the crowds. It satd:
"I am heartily in sympathy with
tHe regenerative movement. Soldiers
must obey the orders of the supreme
peace."
Soldier* Sing ••Mar*clllal*e"
Some soldiers then entered the park
which has bren closed to the public
for four ye*rs. They smashed the
marble slab* surrounding tlie beau
tiful ponds broke their guns and
threw the gun barrels in the water.
They then formed a procession and,
singing file Marseillaise, paraded
through die city behind the red flag.
The only bloodshed in Brussels
occurred on Monday when a patrol
detailed by the soldiers' committee to
■keep order, fired upon a disorderly
crowd, killing twelve civilians and
wounding about thirty. The crowd
had disregarded the tiring of a Jolank
volley by the soldiers.

On Monday, October 31, we ad
dressed an advertisement to the
wholesale and retail drug trade, ad

ing that Vapotub be purchased In
small iots only. This condition still
prevails.
At this writing we have bark orders
for eighteen tlousand tIS.OOu) gross
and our orders each day are double
our daily output. The epidemic,
however, is decreasing in most sec
tions, the demand is siakening and
we are working night and day to

the trade to be patient with us.

! HOW TO USE VAPORUB IX
TREATING SPANISH
INFLUENZA
In every case call a physician—
Vapoßub should be used only in con
nection with the physician's internal
I treatment.
Apply hot, wet cloths over the
; throat, chest and back between the
shoukfer blades to open the pores.
Dry lightly and rub Vapoßub weli
in until the skin is red —spread on
thickly and cover with hot tiannel
cloths. Leave the bod-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 lin
ing of the air passages to throw off
the iniiluenza germs. In case of
head or chest cold, which often ac
companies influenza, the vapors tend
to keep the air passages open, loosen
the phlegm and make the breathing
easier. In addition, Vapoßub is ab
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
HOW TO USE TICK'S VAPORUB
AS A PREVENTIVE
It Is questionable if there is any
thing which will prevent Spanish
Influenza, except avoiding those per
sons who are spreading the disease
by coughing, sneezing and spitting
and by keeping up the bodily resis
tance by plenty of good food and ex
ercise In tho 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 Vapoßub is excellent. Just
put a small portion up each nostril
from time to time during the day
and snuffewell 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
germs. At the Ilrst signs of a cold
use Vapoßub at once. Melt a little
in a spoon and inhale the vapors
arising, or Vapoßub can be used In
a regular benzoin steam kettle, such
as most druggists carry In stock. If
this la not available, a very good
substitute to use Is an ordinary tea
kettle, Fill half-full of boiling water
■—put In a half a teaspoon of Vapo-
Rub from time to time —, keep the
kettle Just slowly boiling and Inhale
the eteam arising,
