THE MINERS IMPORTANCE.

Coal miners are looked upon as
men doing a mental kind of work,
yet it does not take us long to real
lie the real Importance Of the miners
as soon as they cease work. We
have only to look at the condition In
England today to realize that, after
all, practically every industry de-
ponds on the coal miner, and wheth-
err or not he keeps at his daily task,
digging the black diamonds from
| the interior of the earth.
Building trades may strike, mill
workers may walk out and any 9TH
err line of industry may be tied up
without affecting, to any extent, the
rest of the business world. But as
soon as the coal miners stop dig
ging coal the wheels of progress
stop.
In England today we find mill at
ter mill forced to close, throwing
their thousands of employees out of
work, because of lack of coal. The
great railroads have been forced to
reduce their schedule, discontinu-
ing many trains and unless a settle
ment Is reached before long the
may be forced to stop running trains
altogether, because of a lack of fuel
to create steam.
The great ports of Southampton,
Liverpool and London are longest
ed by idle shipping as there Is no
coal for the vessels. The total num-
Der Of men out of employment Is
daily increasing. Starvation is star
ing many in the face and the eeun-
try as a whole is facing one of the
greatest crisis in history, all be-
cause the coal miners have stopped
work. When everything is moving
smoothly and our coal bins are we'll
filled, little thought Is given to these
men down under the earth, risking
their lives that our prosperity might
go on. At such a time as the pres
ent, however, their work becomes
paramount, for without coal not on
~ does all and transpor-
.tation OF every kind cease, but ma
vies are made useless and the ma
items are rendered helpless without
the miners cooperation.
This absolute dependence upon a
supply of coal is an excellent ergu-
ment for either government owner
ship. or strict control of the mines.
The digging of coal Ia entirely too
important a matter to be left abso-
lutely In private hands where SO
much ruin can be brought upon in
snocent persons while those operating
the mines decker over apparently in
significant matters.

AFTER THE DOCS.

The city of Elizabeth is not relax
ing it's efforts to prevent the spread
of rabies there through the muzzling
of all dogs, and are doing away
with such CANNES as are found at
large without this protection. Not
only has the order gone forth that
every dog must be muzgled, but the
mayor has supplemented this order
by declaring that leather muzzles
are not sufficient and do not come
within the meaning of the ordinance,
insisting that only wire muzzles
shall be used.
1t has also been decided to place
additional wagons and men at the
disposal OF the dog catcher, who has
orders to pick up all dogs running
at large unmuzzled or wearing
leather muzzles. Only such dogs as
are held in leash or which are on
private property will be exempt
from molestation.
1t is gratifying to know that
Elisabeth is able to keep up this
work so strenuously. The activity
there calls to mind our W dog
catcher and we wonder whether or
not he is still On the job. Many
dogs are seen running at large these
days without any muExla. There lie
just as much danger of . be-
ing bitten now as there . few

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite or Distress AFTER
Eating a symptom That Should
not be DisFegarded.

Appetite is Just a natural desire
for food. Loss Of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicate mdiges-
| ton or dyspepsia. 0ver-eating Is 9
habit very dangerous TO a person :
good general health.
1t is not what YOU eat but what
you digest and assimilate thai does
| you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest. and heaIthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that win cause
more trouble than a disordered
stomach. and many people daily con
tract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse Of the
stomach.
We urge all in Perth Am6oy VINO
suffer from any stomach derange-
ment, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, TO Try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. with the
distinct understanding hat we VIII
refund their money without question
or fermality, if after reasonable use
of this medicine, they are not per-
fectly satisfied with the results. We
recommend them to our customers
every day, and have yet to hear OF
any one who has not been Denefited
by them. We honestly believe them
to be without equal. They give very
prompt relief, aiding to neutralize
the gastric juices, strengthen the
digestive organs to regulate the
bowels, and thus to promote perfect
nutrition, and eradicate all unheal-
thy symptoms.
We urge you to try a 26c. box Of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives Is days treatment. At the
end Of that time, your money will be
returned to you if you are not salts
fed. OF course, in chronic cases
length of treatment varies. For
such cases we have two larger sizes,
which sell for soc. and $1.00. Re-
