Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body IS foul before you cleanse II.
II l. a matter Of surprise that many peo-
pie who are 80 careful 10 have clean bodies
rsake no effort 10 keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that ~uncleaupess breeds
disease that those who do not keep their
bodies IN a Wholesome condition and who
dwell In filthy surroundings are the 6rst to
fall when some epidemic Of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dam
Kerous 70 the individual than q foul body.
An unclean body is rather a passive than
an active hindrance TO health. But unclean
blood is an active threat against the very
life--it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
Il is part Of Natures plan for human
safety that IN many cases where the blood
IL impure or corrupt she sets a sign on the
body IN proof Of the corrupt current that Is
flowing through the veins. Scrofala with
rs disfguring sores and scars, eczema with
It's irritation, falt-fhcum, letter, e~rysipelas,
boiis, pimpies and other eruptions are only
the outward signs Of the impurity Of the
blood. But often in the earlier OF simpler
stages Of the hoods impurity there are no
outward signs Of this condition; only dull,

DEMAND FOR COAL
Situation in the Mines Causes a
Rush of Cars to Supply
Large Consumers.
ALL AVAILABLE CARS IN USE
Orders to Cover Period of Six Weeks
Are Being Sent in by Railways
and Manufacturers.


The expected shut down of the coal
mines of the state, scheduled to take
place July l, is causing Rock Island
railways. manufacturers, and large
consumers of coal to lay in large sup
plies, in order that they will not suffer
coal famine when the shutdown takes
place. So general is this action that il
is almost impossible to secure cars
for shipping any other material, and
Rock Island dealers in sand and 9TH
er material are greatly inconvenienced
as result. Every train into Rock ISL
and brings with it from 10 to IS cars
loaded with coal. Much of this is sold
on the coal markets, but the railways
and consumers throughout the state
are being supplied in the same way.
Rush of Coal Cars.
Coal cars are being rushed to the
mines as fast as they can be secured.
and when loaded are placed on the
tracks to await the developments of
the mine operators action in order
ing the shutdown. A supply sufficient
to carry the roads and the manufac-
turers over six weeks is being ordered.
Railway men say that all available
coal cars are in use now, and it is
feared that this may result in a shut
down before the end of next week
This action. ii is asserted, will result
in a considerable increase in prices.
