BRIGHT PROSPECTS
OF STEADY WORK
PHILADELPHIA. Anril

Unlike the situation in the soft coal
fields, where thousands of men are idle
because of wage disagreements. con-
ditions in the anthracite field of east
ern Pennsylvania so far as employment
is concerned are growing better and
the prospects for steady work are
brighter than they have been in six
months. There is q general suspension
of mining throughout the hard coal
regions today because the mine work
ers are observing the anniversary of
the eight-hour day, but beginning to-
morrow there will be a general re-
sumption.
1t is expected that the mines through
out these regions will work full blast
all summer. The winters stock of coal
has been exhausted and there is prac-
tically no coal on hand at any of the
storage points. The anthracite regions
are at present free from labor troubles
the three-year wage agreement having
one more year to run
25O, 600 MINERS IDLE.
INDIANAPOLIS, April /.
Bituminous miners numbering $50, ;,
900 are idle today on account of the
failure of the United Mine Workers
of America and the coal operators to
agree upon wage scale to go into
effect today.
District meetings are being held in
an effort to reach an agreement in the
various States and it is believed the
strike will be of short duration.
Central Pennsylvania and Indiana
mines are in operation, as an agree
ment has been reached in the former
district and in this State miners and
operators have agreed to continue
work pending settlement which is
being negotiated by joint meetings at
Terre Haute.
All the miners OF Western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, the trans Mississippi and
outlying districts have quit work.
MINES SHUT DOWN.
COLUMBUS, O., April /.
According to accurate reports re-
ceived here today from all over the
Ohio min ing district. 81, 900 workmen
of all kinds in the mines are idle to-
day as the result of the decision of the
mine officials in the Central Competi-
tive district to stop work because they
say the operators decline to make any
wage agreement.
The estimate Of the men out by
counties is as follows:
Columbiana county, 1000; Vinton
county, 500; Hooking. 1000; Jackson
and vicinity, 5000; Coshocton. 1000;
Muskingum 4oO Perry, 5000; Stark,
2,5OO Athens. 1000; Belmont, 5000 /;
Jefferson 5000; Meigs., 500.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

D@HIneSS cannot he Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is 5inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness Is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by

HEART DISEASE KILLS MANY.
Physician Says It Is Due to Nations
Hard Pace.

BOSTON, June 10-In an address be.
fore the American characterised Associa-
ton yesterday DR.. Thomas Darlington.
commissioner of health of New York city.
gave many statistics showing the hieh
death rate from heart disease in this
country. He said that the highest death
rate from this cause. 1917. was shown by
Massachusetts, while Indiana had the
lowest.
I'VE indeed need rugged constitutions"
he declared. ito hold us up in the pace
we are travelling. Individually we have
undermined the vigorous health which
was characteristic Of our forefathers. and
We are bringing into the world children
whose physical status is even less hardy
than our own.
DR.. Darlington declared that the NOR
tally rate from heart disease was stead
lily increasing throughout. the country,
and was apparently unaffected by climatic
conditions, locality, or density of popula-
ton. and that the correlated condition,
chronic Bright's disease. showed a cor.
responding increase in mortality. The gen.
eral death rate was decreasing. he de.
clared. and no other disease showed a
general relative increase in the death
rate. He held the use of alcohol largely
responsible for this result
