The history of the Koch family Is unique In that the mother, with all her loving care, pinned her faith to a simple home remedy and never had a doctor for her children.

We all think Peruna a splendid tonic.” Ho far as we have learned, Pe runa Is the only known remedy for which such a wonderful claim can bs made. Like Mrs. Koch, there are thousands upon thousands of mothers who place their entire de pendence upon Peruna. That Peruna has merited this confidence Is attested by the words Misunderstanding. She—What do you think? A hat nearly got in my head last night. He—You're lucky. Mine always get hi tuy feet.

BALANCED RATION FOR COWS Important to Furniij Varioua Nutri ents in Proportion the Animal Needs Them. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) It Is probably well to refer to the composition of feedstuffs as it relates to economical feeding of the dairy cow. The cow takes into her digestive system feeds which she utilizes for the production yf body tissues, heat ing the body, performing bodily func tions. such as digesting feed, moving Cow Must Have K iple Supply of Palatable Feed. from place to place, and for milk pro duction. It Is sufficient to say that the constituents or compounds and the relative quantities necessary for these operations have been determined; that is, we know that milk contains protein utnl energy or heat-producing constit uents, the protein being represented hy the casein and albumin and the energy and heat-producing constit uents by the fat and sugar. In addi tion to the constituents or compounds necessary for the production of milk, she also must have the constituents necessary for performing the other functions mentioned. These, for con venience, have been classified into proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Fats perform much the same functions ns carbohydrates and are worth for pro duction practically two and one-fourtli times as much per pound as carbohy drates, and In the balancing of a ra tion are usually classed with them. This brings us to a definition of a “balanced ration,” which is a ration containing these various nutrients in the proportion the cow needs them. The economical importance of a bal anced ration Is evident. The cow can use only certain elements or com pounds In certain proportions; conse quently, if the ration supplies an ex cessive amount of any one, the excess Is liable to be wasted. Not only is this true, but as the cow lias to as similate it even though she cannot use it. her capacity for production Is reduced. In making n ration, cost Is one of the important factors. The best prac tice ts to compound a grain mixture so that It will balance with the home grown roughage. With this in mind, the separate grains should be selected to supply the necessary nutrients ut the lowest possible cost. For this, not only the price per hundred pounds but also the relative cost of each constit uent, especially protein, must be con sidered. For example, to determine the cost of a pound of digestible protein in a given feed divide the price of 100 pounds by the per cent of digestible protein In the feed. If this calculation is made for several feeds, the relative cost of protein In each will be appar ent. Then the feeds that furnish pro tein at the least cost can be selected. The same can be done to determine the cost of the carbohydrates and fat, which are the heat-making or energy producing part of the feed. KEEPING UP SOIL FERTILITY Growing of Green Manure Crops Must Be Practiced Where Other Fer tilizer Is Unavailable. When barnyard manure, straw or stubble, are not available for use as fertilizer, then the growing of green manure crops must be practiced. Soil fertility must be kept up and there must- be the right supply of humus. There are very few farms where enough manure is produced so that the green-manure crops are not needed. However, where all the barnyurd ma nure is properly saved, there Is less need for the green manures. If the green crops, mainly the legumes, are grown In sufficient amount for aiding In fertility, the soil enn be kept in fine condition even If there Is a short age of the barnyard manures.

VICK’S VAPORUB SHORTAGE OVERCOME AT IASI Tue Deal Scheduled for Last November, Which Was Post poned on Account of the Influ enza Epidemic, Is Now Re-in stated — Good During the Month of March. OVER ONE MILLION JARS OF VAPORUB PRODUCED EACH WEEK 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. Lost 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 REINSTATED This deal, which we had expected to put on last November and which had to be postponed on account of the short age of VapoRub, is re-instated for the month of March. This allows a dis count of 10% on shipments from Job bers' 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 tlieir 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 physicians— nurses were almost impossible to ob tain—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 drop ped behind the prescription counter. Wholesale druggists called their sales men off the road to help fill orders— hundreds wired us to ship Vick’s Vapo Rub by the quickest route, regardless of expense. 'A tremendous job to increase OUR PRODUCTION In this emergency we 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 plended with manufae* i turers 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 sales men into the factory and trained them as foremen. We invented new ma chinery, 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 hundred and forty-three jars of VapoRub a minute or one million m l eighty thousand weekly, has requir. i a force of 500 people. Our Cafe De partment, created for the benefit of these workers, served 7,000 meals dur ing the month of January alone. 13 MILLION JARS OF VAPORUB DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER. An idea of the work we have ac complished this fall may be given by our production figures—13,028,976 jars of VapoRub manufactured and distributed since last October—one Jar for every two families in i lie entire United States. During the influenza epidemic Vick's VapoRub was used as an external ap plication in connection with tli ? physi ' clan’s treatment, and thousandsgof peo ple, unable to obtain a doctor, relied on Vick’s almost exclusively. Literally millions of families all over the country, from Cali fornia to Maine, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, have found Vick’s VapoRub the Ideal home remedy for croup and cold trou bles. uici£s\7aporub Ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh! “Is your (laughter taking singing les sons?” “That’s wlmt you heard, all right l I hope you don’t think for a minute that I had started heating my wife.”— Buffalo Express.
