AN EXTREME MEASURE
RUMOR THAT RAILROADERS
WILL REFUSE SOFT COAL.
Fist Fights Among the Idle Men Give
Rise to Reports of
Rioting.

WILKESBARRE. Pa. May 21-The
three executive committees of the United
Mine Workers of America today began
their first formal session since the great
coal strike was inaugurated. This is the
same body that met in Scranton two weeks
ago and decided on the suspension. The
object of the meeting is to go over the en-
tire situation and outline and adopt new
plans of campaign that may be found nee
essary. The most important matter for
consideration is the proposition to call out
the engineers. fremen and pump men. This
Is looked upon by the mine workers Off
Gals as an extreme measure, and it will
be most carefully considered before the
step IS taken. They do not care to an
tagonize the mine owners any more than
Is necessary. Some Of the officials still
have hopes of an amicable settlement. and
they do not think it wise to anger the mine
owners by withdra wing these men and en-
danger1ng the safety of their property.
FROM talk with several of the commit
teemen 1t seems likely that the protectors
OF the mines will not be called out for the

BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their APP
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
