Of the great Altheim Medical Dispensa-
~, 1928 Butterfield Building, Cincinna-
ii, Ohio, has just made the startL.g an
nouncement that he has produced com
pound that grows hair on any baldhead.
The doctor makes the claim that after
experiments, taking years to complete,
he has at last reached the geal OF his am
bition. To the doctor ali heads are alike,
There is none which can not be cured
by this remarkable remedy. The record
Of the cures already made is truly mar
velous and were it not for the high
standing of the great physician and the
convincing testimony of thousands of
citizens all over the country it would
seem too miraculous TO be true.
There can be no doubt of the doctor S
earnestness in making his claims nor
can his cures be disputed. He does not
ask any man, woman or child to take
his or any one elSe's word for it but he
stands ready and willing to send free
trial packages of this great hair restora-
tive TO any one who writes to him for it,
enclosing 2 cents stamp to prepay pos
tage. In single night it had started

1t never fails no matter what the con.
dition, age or sex. Old men and young
men, women and children all have prof.
tied by the free use Of this great new
discovery. Write to day if you are bald
if your hair is falling out, OF if your hail
eyebrows or eyelashes are thin or short
and in q short time you viii be entirely
restored.

Two nights later, when q small party

came the faint, dying cry from some

Men, Women and Children in a
Mad Scramble for Bags
of Coal
POLICE CALLED FOR PROTECTION
Even the Police are Attacked and Force
is Necessary to Keep Load of
Coal From Being Carried Off in the
Streets-Yards of the Coal Company
Invaded by Mob.

Boston, Dec. 11.-Hundreds of resi-
dents of the, north end have besieged
the entrances to the ward of the Met
ropolitan Coal Company and at one
time there was a small sized coal riot
Today when the offices and yard was
opened crowd was gathered in front
of the building on the sidewalk and as
soon as the company's men began to
arrive, these people commenced the
liveliest kind of a scramble to get in
side. SO much trouble was caused that
the employers decided to haul wagon
load of coal in bags out of the yard
and distribute it from the opposite side
of the street, in order to draw the
crowd away from the gates. Hardly
had the driver pulled up his horses,
after crossing the street, before the
crowd was upon his wagon. Men and
women pulled one another and fought
for chance to get at the coal. The
patrolmen We're called UP on to aid the
driver and it was only with the great
est difficulty and by using force they
were able to keep their bags from
being stolen and carried off. One pa
trolman jumped on the wagon to save
the coal and was thrown down and
pulled about by the women.

Secretary Of Agriculture Needs
More Money to Fight Cat
tie Disease
A LETTER SENT TO CONGRESS
Quick Work is Necessary to Prevent
Spread of the Disease - 1t is said
One Hundred Herds Marked for
Slaughter by the Committee Having
Investigation in Charge. 4

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE depart
ment of agriculture has appealed to
the house committee on agriculture to
aid the department in stamping out the
foot and mouth disease which has ap-
peared among cattle in New England,
asking that an emergency appropria-
ton of 100000 or $1,000,000 be made.
Secretary Wilson made the appeal
in letter sent to congress Tuesday
thru the secretary of the treasury, ask
ing for an emergency appropriation of
81, 100000 or so much thereof as may
be necessary to successfully meet the
requirements.
Secretary Wilson tells of all the vari-
ous measures necessary to successfully
fight this disease, and says:
Quick work is necessary, owing to
the rapidity with which the disease
travels The product of our domestic
animals is over S900,000,000 annually,
and our exports of animals and ami
NAL products amount to quarter of
q billion dollars each year. This
scourge costs continental Europe and
Asiatic countries enormous sums Of
money annually. They do not seem
to be able to eradicate it. The British
people have visitations of it occasion
ally, but promptly stamp it out.
while every effort is being made to
localize the disease in the infected
states, this is danger that the cars
used in carrying the animals to market
may introduce 1t into other parts of the
country. We are ready to send an
efficient corps of experts at once to
deal with the outbreak.
The committee is advised that there
are about one hundred herds which,
in the opinion of the department, must
be slaughtered. The committee is al
so advised that it is the opinion of the
department officials. that the disease
was transmitted thru hay shipped from
abroad.
Former Congressman Barrows Of
Maine was heard by the committee on
immigration. He said many desirable.
immigrants would be kept out Of the
country by the educational test in the
pending bill. General w. w. Dudley
and Hon. B. L. Payson followed Mr..
Barrows, the former speaking for the
Chicago & Milwaukee railroad and the
latter for the Southern Pacific. Both
spoke against the educational test pro-
vided by the. bill as calculated to de-
crease the labor supply, which they
argued is undesirable.
The senate committee on education
and labor today heard arguments in
opposition to the eight-hour bill by
members of the National Manufacture
ers' association.

FUEL FOR MILWAUKEE.
Fifty Thousand Tons, a Temporary
Supply Received.

|
| Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 10.-The ar
rival of thirteen vessels with nearly
| 10000 tons of hard and soft coal has
within the past tWentyfour hours put
an end to the coal famine in Milwaukee
which has been serious as there was
shortage Of both anthracite and soft
coal, and housekeepers in many cases
We're absolutely obliged to go visiting
among their more fortunate neighbors
to keep warm.
From noon Monday until o'clock
last night the coal arrivals have been
$4,000 tons Of hard coal and 12,877 tons
of soft coal.
The Vega has also arrived, and is
said to be carrying 5000 tons, but her
master has not made a report of the
customs office, and other ships are said
to be on the bay.
For several days the coal dealers
have been turning people away and said
nothing about the prospects of receiv-
ing this immense amount of coal, there
fore there will be much surprise when
it is learned that the famine has been
broken.
There has been a great deal Of real
SuHerlnS IN milwaukee, since Sunday
for lack Of proper heat, and women
have thronged the coal offices begging
in behalf of sick children for few
pounds of fuel, but the dealers were
helpless
1t is said by coal dealers that there
should be between 100000 and 100000
tons on the docks in the city at this
time of the year, so that the $4,000
tons which has just come in will only
relieve the situation temporarily. The
rest OF the winters supply will have
to come by rail.

The Horse Market.

ly all classes, the market opened yes
terday with the strength Of the OPEN

best grades of drafters and expressers
is free and these classes show the full
strength of the market. Other classes
are fully. steady, but are sharing the
demand caused by the approaching hol-
iday season. In the heavy drafter type
few sensa tional offerings are coming,
and even the prime qualities are scarce
and shippers are finding 1T difficult to
buy them in the country. Good to choice

CHICAGO COAL FAMINE.
Fuel Becoming Very Scarce in the
Windy City.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Chlcago is facing
a coal famine so severe that many
of the large Office buildings may be
compelled to shut down." According
to local coal men, this scarcity is due
to two causes. First, that, owing to
the Chicago river tunnels, deep-draft
vessels could not bring the anthracite
now on cars at Buffalo to this city;
and, second. that the Pennsylvania
railroad and other roads that are short
of coal for operating purposes have
confiscated hundreds of car loads of the
much needed fuel before it reached the
dealers to whom it was being shipped.
Several of the big skyscrapers have
already felt the shortage, and agents
and many factories are running low.
Building agents and engineers have
been daily clamoring at the doors of
coal contractors, fearful that the stead
lily decreasing supply may soon be ex-
hausted. The engineers of the Monad-
mock and the Marquette buildings said
yesterday that they were finding it
almost impossible to get enough fuel
to heat these big structures.
yesterday three loads of coal were
delivered to us, but today we have had
only half ofe one load said one en-
gineer. I'VE have only a small supply
on hand, and this we hate to touch un-
til the last minute"
p. F. Reynolds of the Busse-R Reynolds
Coal company, said: We supply
many of the largest Office buildings.
and am putting the case conserva-
lively when / say that there has never
been year when the scarcity of coal
was SO general as it is at present. Still.
none of the dealers are planning to
raise prices. Adds, Adds & Northcote,
agents for many down town sky scrap
ers, do business with us and we do not
intend to let them shut down their
buildings so long as it is possible to
haul coal to them. When a cold snap
comes we are rushed with orders and
this ties up good many of our wag-
ons. But the chief difficulty is to get
the coal. We can not supply private
houses and advise those families who
have not sufficient coal to move into
steam heated flats or hotels before the
next cold snap comes. A few more
days like Monday and Tuesday will
bring genuine distress to thousands of
well to-do people and will cause many
office buildings in Chicago either to
shut down or to allow their tenants to
freeze"
