is more than a fat food. There is no animal fat that compares with it in nourishing and building up the wasted, emaciated body. That is why chil- dren and anamic girls thrive and grow fat upon it. That is why persons with consumptive tenden- cies gain flesh and strength enough to check the progress of the dis ease.

Coal Lands Sell At Great Gain OF TOO
Per Cent. In Six Years.

The Pittsburg Gazette Times of Novembe
9, says:
San increase of 700 per cent. in value in
less than seven years is the record of coal
lands in Westmoreland county, Pa. Eight
hundred acres have just been sold for $500 an
acre for the coal. This is an increase of 100
per cent a year on the original price of 500
an acre, or an average increase of 500 an
acre each.
This deal was closed by C. w. Saxman, a
large coal land dealer of Latrobe, who repre-
scented the owner, the Garnet Coal and Coke
Company of Pittsburg. and by d. W. Jones,
superintendent of the Latrobe Coal Company,
representing that company. The Latrobe
Company bought from the Garnet company
the 800 acres of coal, 225 acres of surface and
the right of way for about one mile of railroad
to be built from the Pennsylvania. 1t was
one of the largest sales of coal lands ever
made in Westmoreland county and is proba-
bly, the largest i'll point of value. The prlnci-
pal stockholders of the Garnett Coal and Coke
Company are DIR. w. F. and George B. Fun.
denberg of Pittsburg, and George S. Rum.
baugh, of Greensburg.
Mr.. Saxman secured the properties com.
prising the 800 acre coal tract between six and
seven years ago from farmers, paying an aver
age price of 500 an acre. He secured the
properties for the Garnett company at that
time. This company spent some money in
developing the properties, but the amount Is
of such small consequence that the gain OF
700 per cent. in value in less than seven years
remains fact.
Mr.. George B. Fundenberg. of Pittsburg,
Pa, who is mentioned in this article as one
of the principal stockholders of the Garnet
Coal and Coke Company, is a son-in-law of
Mr.. William A. Cunningham, this city.

and Fisher did not hear the engine approach.
He was knocked between the rails with his
head across the track.
: Fisher was a native of Kemp's Mills, but
lived in Hagerstown nearly all his life. He
was formerly trolley conductor aud later
engaged in the insurance business. He told a
friend a few days ago that he had decided TO
quit railroadlng soon because of the danger
and return to Westminster to engage in the
milling business with his father.
He was SO years old, and is survived by a
widow and two children. Mr. and Mrs Joel
S. Fisher, of this city. and brother, Charles
Fisher, living at Halfway; Frank Fisher, in
the West; George. Albert and Aaron Fisher,
