PROBABLE COAL FAMINE.

Coal miners throughout the United

organized that strikers have closed

most dependent for her supply Of
coal. Knowing that the strike was
almost inevitable, our local dealer.
A. A. Faris ordered $4,000 worth OF
coal a month ago TO be shipped TO
this city. but succeeded In getting
only one barge before the tie-up. This
cannot supply the town many more
days-rhen we are up against a real
coal famine until the miners troubles
are adjusted. There Is no way of
telling how long the mines will be
shut down--it may be two weeks. 1t
may be six months.
The proposition submitted by the
miners to the operators is substantial

"A general advance of per cent.
on all inside day labor.
1.-TWO dollars for outside day labor.
"An advance OF cents per ton on

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE 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
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
Ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and then it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
nammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an In

OLD Sores
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inhamma-
ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down In
the system there is morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
OF all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is
OBLIGED to remain. S. S. S. heals
