IS NOT WHOLLY UNTRUE
Industrial Coal Operators Are Cos
sideriaq Drastic Measures.
DECISIVE ACTION NECESSARY
William Conuell. President Of tho In.
dustrial Operators Association. Says
That the Scheme to Fight the
Carriers Has Dccn Dismissed.

A story was sent out from New York
yesterday to the effect that the individ-
ual coal operators will mine and sell
million tons of coal at 81 per tone in
the hope that it may force the carry
ing companies to restore prices and
place limits to their outputs.
Last night the United Press sent sew
eral denials of the story. and one dis
patch in particular stated that there
was not the least foundation for the
rumor.
This Is the way the denials read:
Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-Leading indi-
vidual coal operators here stated today
that there is no foundation for the re-
port published this morning that 1,0O0.-
900 tons of anthracite coal is to be
placed on the market at 81 a ton.
Philadelphia, Aug. IA representa-
tive of the firm of Coke Bros. & Co. this
afternoon said: We have never been
approached on the question of unload
ing coal on the market and do not be-
lieve anybody else has. Suppose we
would attempt such move. is 1t not
reasonable to believe the railroad com
panies would meet the reduction in traf-
fic. With tolls $1.75 per ton. any one
can readily see what would become of
the individual operator who offered his
product at 81 ton fob"
Dispatches Arc Not Correct.
Notwithstanding these dispatches the
report is in the main true. The scheme
has been discussed and that this is a
fact we have no less an authority than
William Connell, president of the Indi-
VT ~
The report, as sent out from New
York, contained the following:
New York, Aug. 7.-As a result of
the daily increasing decentralization in
coal rates caused by the coal carrying
railroads, the individual anthracite ope-
rators have decided to take matters
into their own hands. 1t is announced
that they will forthwith place 100000
tons of anthracite on the market at 81
a ton, unless prompt action is taken
by the coal carrying lines to restore
prices and limit the output.
Mr.. Connell is quoted by the Truth
as saying that the above In the main
is what ought to be done. and what
has been discussed by the individual
operators. They have not decided to
take matters in their own hands as yet.
but it is not improbable that they will
do SO. At present coal is in many
cases being mined and sold at a loss,
and unless some drastic measures are
taken the individual operators may
have to shut down. Many of the small
er operators, Mr.. Connell is quoted as
saying, find it cheaper to remain idle
than to mine coal at the present un-
profitable prices.
L. B. Sturges characterized the re-
port as an exaggerated statement. but
concurred in Mr.. Connelrs opinion that
a decisive movement on the part of the
individual operators is not altogether

DAYS OF ANGUISH
DIelq, doubt nd DesDdI In
Vude Homes.
UnSuardsd Babies Succumb to
Intestinal Disease.
Question of Infant Food
COnf'rOnts Mothers.
Under Fed Babies Fall Easy
Victims of Cholera.
No Touch OF Summer Disorder
with LaCtated Food.

If a mothers blind love could save
the little ones what a happy world
this would be.
There would be no more cholera in
fantum nor wasting summer disease
that every year carry off SO large
proportion of the babies under five
years. The love of parents is strong.
but unless intelligently directed can do
little to ward off these diseases that
threaten the tender years of babyhood.
Only when children are kept fully
nourished and unexposed to conta m
ination in their food. do they run no
risk from the hot August days and
nights. Diawhoea1 diseases, the great
scourge of infants, are wholly due to
improper food. encouraged by high
temperature. But for this ignorance
and carelessness in babys summer diet
the hot months might be as healthful
as any.
One has only to contrast the healthy
fulfilled happy condition of babies fed
on lactated food with that of the many
badly nourished dropping ones whose
mothers persist in keeping them on the
old diet upon which they are plainly
not thriving.
Babies that are not gaining In weight,
as their mothers wish. and who show
too little animation and interest in
things about them, soon gain liveli-
ness and zest for living when fed with
this splendid nutriment. They grad
ually cry less and less; their sleep be-
comes sound by night. and by day they
are bright and noisy and happy.
Such is the great difference between
babies that are nourished by lactated
food and those that are poorly, be-
cause improperly fed.
In it's composition lactated food Is
we'll nigh identical with baby's earliest
and best food-healthy breast milk.
AS a food, therefore. for mothers who
nurse their little ones with difficulty
especially through the summer months,
lactated food is ordered by physicians
with the most gratifying results.
For invalids who require an easily
digested, absolutely pure. rich aliment,
there is nothing equal to lactated food
