PROSPECTIVE COAL STRIKE.

Likelihood of another strike in the

MIA is not pleasant anticipation for

enlpg their organization preparatory
10 the miners convention to be held
in December. Tho last strike, which
was brought TO a close through the in
teryention Of President Roosevelt. aid
ed by public opinion, was at best a
compromise. The coal situation in the
northern centers of population was
critical and neither the operators nor
the miners could afford the RESPONSE
bility of prolonging the strike through
the winter and freezing people TO
death. The agreement reached was for
three years and the time will be up
shortly.
Both sides have been preparing for
the struggle. The miners union has
been strengthening Itself financially
and in membership. while the opera
tors have been accumulating large
stocks Of coal so ds TO meet the de
mands of the public while they are
trying to starve tho miners into sub
mission. The chances are that the
strike will result as IL did three years
ago. The operators will earn their
usual profits by selling the surplus
prices. The miners will suffer nard-
ships while the public generally will
be held up by the trust.
But there was one feature of the
last strike that the coal barons would
do well not to ignore. There was
much talk of government ownership
of the coal mines and the New York
democratic convention actually insert
ed plank to that effect in the state
platform. There was another feature
that might well be remembered, ana
that is the threat of Mr.. Roosevelt to
send troops to the mines and dig
coal.
Any democrat who loves democrat
ic principles would regret to see the
government invade the domain of pri-
vate enterprise and acquire and oper-
ate coal mines. But frequently it is
necessary to choose between two

by the coal trust during the long
northern winters and government
ownership it easy to see that the
northern people would infinitely pre-
fer the latter. The people will not be
content TO freeze. just because the
coal operators want to enforce unbear-
able conditions upon their workmen.
Had the coal barJns held out against
arbitration three years ago and the
president had executed his threat to
operate the mines the northern peo-
pie would have applauded him.
Thc cal barons will make a great
mistake ii they undertake another
such contest as they waged the last
work the drcary lives they eke out
sufficiently paid for their labor. Con
sidering the hazardous nature of the
work, the droary lives they eke on
and the price which the trust eXacts
of the public for coal the miners
should be twice as well compensated
as they are at present, As Mr.. Mitcn.

be as well paid as any other class OF
equally skilled labor taking equal risks
That Is the public view of it and the
trust would be wise to think well he

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficle0t disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, bu. few realize Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; it is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out or the system
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and emlnently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; IL disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best char coal and the most for the money, is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these 1ozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: T advise Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion, and purify the breath mouth and throat; I also be-. lieve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation. yet I believe 1 get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Log enges than in any of the ordinary char cnal tahleta n
