deht Roosevelt. fiied with the presi-
dent to1ay q unanimous recommends
lion on final report. Although the
commissions report will not be made
public until Saturday enough Ii known
of its recommendation to permit 4
review OF the material features.
Not only lis an increase Of 10 Per
cent in wages granted to the miners.
but new regulations In weighing coal,
II is said, Will really make the increase
much larger, as they will preclude the
men from being compelled to mine
more than ton Of coal and getting
paid only for ton as now prevails.
Another point decided by. the COM
mission is that mining operators must
Ak days work at eight hours, for
every miner. The miners also gain an
other point of contention in being rec
ognized with checkers of their own for
coal as mined. By q system Of dock
age the miners asset the operators
heretofore have ovefburdened work
men with rebates, which materially re-.
duced their actual income !
So the real issues raised blythe min
ers when they went ON strike are
granted by the commission less work.
more pay and less interference ON the
part of the mining operators Sums up
this feature Of the commissions report.
The report also contains = provision.
1t lis said, for settlement Of I'll future

of cancer in the case Of Mr.. Jefferson
Coker, who was afflicted with cancer
almost covering the entire face. One
large malignant growth on the Jaw
under the eye was as large as q turkey
egg. The patient had been exceeding.
ly Ill for weeks, probably the result
of burning treatment he had been
subjected to before coming to DR.. Bye.
those that have witnessed the cure
pronounce 1t most marvellous, as Mr..
Coker was SO weak he could scarcely
walk.
The most extraordinary feature Of
the cure is that there is no pain. The
doctors method of treatment, which
was discovered by him q few years
ago, is an oil which will absorb the
indurated parts Of cancer and heal the
liberation.
Besides from 40 to SO patients receiv.
ing the treatment at the doctors place.
there are over 1000 receiving the home
treatment direct or through their
