Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that you
can't be cured.
There must be cure for you somewhere.
If your doctor can't cure you, perhaps he
has mistaken the cause. Anybody is liable

One in three of US suffer from indigestion
and one out of three dyspeptics doesn't
know it. That is, he may know he is sick,
but he blames it to something else.
Indigestion is'the cause of half of our
dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial made from
tonic medicinal roots and herbs, is the most
natural cure for Indigestion. 1t relieves

is fitted with revolving shade, which
will turn the light in any direction. By
turning the shade to different angle,
the light may be made dim or bright,
and the whole of it can be concentrated
at any given spot. In the sickroom or
hospital It can be used with good effec's

FOOD AND BEAUTY.

"
lotions and spend half of her time in
the beautifying bath tub, but success
will not crown the efforts Of the seeker
after beauty unless she turns her atten.
tion also to her diet list. Clear com.
plexions do not wait on the tickle, nor
rosy cheeks on the morning griddle
cake.
The woman who intends to have a
good complexion must make careful
study of the food questions. It goes with
out saying that sugary substances must
be banished from the bill of fare.
Candies are, of course, eluded. Cake
follow in their wake. AS for pies and
all other compounds of flour and grease,
they are fatal to clear skins. Bread
that is dougby or starchy ranks almost
as low as pastry in the estimation of
the seeker after good looks.
Alcoholic drinks are banished almost
entirely; their effect, even in small
quantities, being mild form of con-
gestion of blood in the face, which even
fully coarsens the texture well as ruins
the color of the skin. For somewhat
similar reasons all sorts of narcotics
and stimulants are to be avoided.
Whatever excites the nerves or over
heats the blood tends toward the final
destruction nf the smooth, peach tex
ture which is the chief of every wom-
ans ambition to attain.
Whatever has the effect of produc-
ing healthy action of the digestive
organs is good for the complexion. Acid
and laxative fruits especially, if taken
at breakfast are good. Graham bread
and toast rank high among the bread
beautifiers. Red and juicy meats,
green vegetables, milk and eggs, are all
cond ucive TO the attaining of a bril-
liant complexion.

WOMEN AND INSURANCE.


DR.. Clara Bliss Finley, Of Washing
ton. is a daughter of the late DR.. Bliss,
one of the surgeons in charge of Gen.
Garfeld's case. DR.. Finley quoted the
following statistics before conven-
tion of insurance underwriters. She
says the claim made by insurance COM
panies that women between ages given
are not as safe risks,as men is at variance
with statistics of the census, hospitals
and infrmaries. More male than fe-
male children are born and more men
than women die between the ages of 10
and 45. One physicians 80 years. ex-
perience showed total of 1920 boys
and 3,1S6 girls born. In England and
Wales women live about one year lon
ger than men. In London two or three
years are in the Women's favor. In
the census Of 1870 the percentage of
deaths per ZOO was: Male. 1892; fe-
male 20.72. Our own census in 1870
shows death between the ages of 10
and 45, men, 72,575; women, 81, 100.
OF our immigrants between these ages,
men, 1910, 583; women, 674, 100. More
men than women die of nervous di-
seases. DR.. Finley admits that
the books of insurance companies show
that more insured women than men die.
She reported interviews with 12 man
ayers of large insurance companies
who, when asked if they regarded wo-
men as safe risks as men, replied" Yes,
if women had as rigid medical exam
inations.'' She therefore contends that
women in general are made to pay for
the results of lax examination.

The Anthracite coal trade continues quiet
and there is very little new business doing at
the July circular prices. There is, however
a considerable quantity of coal being moved
on old contracts. Last week, for the first
time this year many of the collieries in the
Anthracite fields were operated on about
three-quarter time. Since January most of
the miners have averaged only about
two days work a week, and consequently
there has been much distress in the mining
towns. Now there is promise of regular
work on at least three quarter time six days
a week until the end Of this year The
movement of coal last week from the
Reading Company's mines to market was re-
ported to have been the largest tonnage of
any single week for long while past. Much
of this coal has been moved to tidewater and
other storage yards and to eastern distribut-
ing pockets, from where il can be con-
veniently distributed later in the season as
required. The Western Anthracite trade is
quiet and has not yet been much benefited
by the strike of the bituminous colliers.
The storms along the coast during the past
week have seriously retarded the movements
Of vessels and consequently there is scar
city Of bottoms in ports and freight rates
have been temporarily advanced from so to
40 cents.

KILLED BY
FA1hING COAL ]
A Young Man Meet With Instant Death
Last Night.
WAS EMPLOYED AS A LABORER
without Moments Warning, John Kielus
Life Was Crushed Out While He was
at His Work in the Elan
gowan Colliery.

The perilous life of the toiler in the coal
mines is so well known to the people of the
coal region that sudden deaths in the mines
do not excite the interest in the community
which would be otherwise aroused. Prob
ably more lives are lost by the falling Of coal
from the roof of the mine than any other
cause and it appears that no amount of care
or precaution can avoid them. An accident
Of this nature at the Ellangowan colliery last
evening is a striking illustration of this,
when Charles Kieluis was hurried into
eternity almost in the twiukling of
an eye. Kieluis, who is a Lithuanian,
aged about 35 years ard single, was EN-
ployed as a laborer at that coliery and
last night while following his vocation was
struck on the head and back by a fall of
coal which crushed his skull and seriously
hurt his back, while his hands and face were
badly cut also. He has no near relatives in
the country, but lived with fellow-coun-
tryman named Salvi Beletsky, on East
Lloyd street, where his body was removed
shortly after the accident.

SUCCESS NOT
YET assured.

Join the Strike.
THE MEETING OF OPERATORS
Arbitrators Have Hopes of settlement at
the Meeting with the Operators.
Conference Expected to Last
Two or Three Days.

Pittsburg, July 27-Miners' Omcials
Dolan and Warner have assured the
sheriff that the strikers had no inten-
tion Of marching on the mines of the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company. President Dolan said it was
not intended to lose the sympathy of
the public by and i'll advised display
of force. 'At the meeting on Thurs
day. said he, eve want no crowd
from other points. We want only our
speakers and DeArmitt's men there,
and it is my opinion that this plan will
be successful If we get a good meet
ing l think we can show to the public
and the other miners that DeArmitt's
men still have manhood enough left
in them to come under our standard
and join the strike. We have told the
sheriff that our intentions are peace
able, and he believes us. We, there
fore, will not be interfered with by
him or his deputies"
A body of 1000 miners. carrying
heavy clubs, marched to the Castle
shannon mines at Oak Station, where
about 400 men We're working, and pre-
vailed upon them to come out. There
was no disorder.
Senator Hanna was in the city YES
terday. In speaking of the efforts to
settle the strike by arbitration, he said:
l am in favor of any plan that will
better the condition of the men. That
is the main point of the situation That
their condition needs betterment every
body knows, and 1 will give my hearty
support and cooperation to any move
ment looking toward that end. Present
methods are in many resDects made
quate, uniformity is lacking, and that
Is something have always advocated" ="
The sheriff of Westmoreland county
has been called upon for deputies to
protect the miners at the Rostraver
mines at Webster. The Webster com
pany proposes to start with non-union
miners today.
The arbitrators are highly elated at
the prospects of the meeting of opera
tors today. All agree in saying that
1t will be the largest meeting of opera
tors ever held in this district. All of
the western men are here, and the
eastern people are arriving this morn
Ing. Hotel lobbies are meeting places
for the operators already here, and the
strike question is being well discussed.
While large number are not in favor
of the old uniformity plan, all are
anxious to hear what new phase the
peace commissioners have given the
subject. Some are decidedly opposed
to uniformity, but all are in favor of
arbitration for settlement of the strike.
No one can at this time predict the
outcome of the conference which is
expected to last two and perhaps three
days,
