COAL SHORTAGE THREATENED.

Unless people put in their coal supply imme-
,date!y there is liable to be repetition OF Coal
shortage conditions" which prevailed during the
winter Of 1867. Only quarter to half Of the
amount necessary for this winters consumption
has titus far moved. The responsibility for the
light movement rests largely with the consumers,
Who have delayed ordering much later than usual.
The docks at the head of the lakes taxed with
stored coal the limit Of their capacity The cars
necessary to move the coal are now available, but
with the heavy grain movement, which will be full
" under way within the next few weeks, most of
these will be required for the grain service.
There is just one way Of nsuring suftclent coal
supply and that IS to order it now for immediate
delivery. With the vivid recollection Of the con-
ditioas OF two years ago still fresh in our memory,
we earnestly and urgently advise readers to
take Immediate action, and do their part in pre-
venting shortage and suffering by ordering coal

the little incident without having any particular
interest in the matter The auto driver blew his

And he kept right on driving his horses at$ss SLOW
pace When the road grew better, the auto driver

The manager of "a Bachelors Honeymoon"
which appeared at Jcobsons opera house Monday
night in an address to the audience before the
last act took occasion to compliment Minot most
highly. He states that his company had spent
Sumo =, in this city meeting many fine people, and
also remarked that prior to visiting Minot he had
been told that this the best city in the state.
and that he had found from experience that this
was the case. We mention this merely to show
how people who have occasion to visit every good
town i'll the state, speak Of Minot. OF course we've
got the best city in the state, and what's more we
have the best city for its size in the United States

5f5 IN
When we opened for business over 9 year
ago we fell right into . large drug and drug
sundry business, but the prescription de-
partment was seldom overworked. To build
up large prescription business you must \
have the confidence Of the doctors to begin
with as they will not stand for their pre-
,scriptions going to : store where there IS 2
chance that the patient OF the doctor will
not get : square deal. q. ISL. l.a Il
There isn't reputable successful doctor
practising medicine in Minot that will tell
you not to take your prescriptions to this
store even though he may favor some other Il
store 4
If your doctor tells you to take your pre-
scription to certain store, you don't have
to any more than you would have to Jump \
into the lake if some friend asked you to. d
But he is not insulting your intelligence by \
directing you, he is protecting you from be-
ing imposed upon by people who hold life
as valuable as lead nickel.
Don't blame the doctor for wanting you /
to get medicine that will bring you back to
health.
Successful business men never advertise 4
the amount Of business they are doing, nor
do they cry graft when they are not able to 4
compete legitimately.
Remember, no druggist in Minot ever fill !.
ed prescriptions at lower price than we 4
charge, nor ever will.
