No Coal for Young Married Folks.

No Coal Tor Young MaFFIeu FoFKs'
From present indications all of the
Young married folk of Reno who have
not secured their coal for the winter
will have to burn wood, gas, electric
ity or oil unless they happen to be
friendly with soft-hearted coal deal
er.
The dealers of the city have consid-
cradle coal on hand, but according to
the brides, they refuse to sell any coal
except to their old customers. One
young married man was seen going
home recently carrying two-gallon
lug of wood alcohol. He said that he
would use it for fuel, as the coal deal
ers had refused to sell him coal.

You should be extremely dainty about the amount
of food you put into your mouth taking very little

with something else 1t is shocking to put several
things into your mouth at once if you a
