ITCHING IRRITATION
Worst Form of Skin Trouble Quickly
Relieved by inexpensive Treatment,

When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbearable, do not think that
it is necessary to, sue some disgust
ing, greasy ointment. Try Hokara,
a pure and simple cream, that is
guaranteed to contain no grease or
acids and which is so cleanly that it
does not soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any
irritation of the skin and make 1t
lsoft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only do minor skin troubles
like pimples, blackheads, acne, bar
bers' itch. ETC., quickly disappear,
hut the worst ulcers or cases of salt
rheum or eczema are clcansed and
healed by this wonderful skin food.
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense, the Hausman
Drug Co. are selling liberal-sized
jar at csc, and in addition guaran-
tee to refund the money If it the
treatment does not do all that Ia
claimed for it.

moving of pillars by machinery. OF
course, more machine coal is mined
in rooms than in pillars, but never
theless it remains significant that in
i1912, only one man in bitumin-
GUS mines of. the whole state OF Penn
sylvania, which produced over 80 per
cent OF whole bituminous product of
the United States in that year. was
killed in the mining of ribs with a
machine. On the other hand, 10
men were killed while removing pill
lars by hand and one man was killed
at the deadly operation of going to
work.
Four men were killed by the ma
chimes themselves. This was due
either to carelessness or to ineffi-
ciently guarded machines and could
well have been avoided. Two were
killed by electricity at the face and
one by electricity on the entry.
Eleven were killed by falls at the
face of the workings, showing that
pillar drawing is possibly not as
risky as work at the face. Until we
know Just how much coal is mined
from pillars and how much from the
solid face, the relative danger of
face and pillar working will not be
known.
At present, statistics as they stand
show the face as II times more dan
gerous than the rib, but no one CON
tends that such calculation is. fair,
for it is obtained only by overlook
| ing the greater amount of work done
by machines at the face, and by dis
regarding the fact that more careful
men usually work on the ribs, that
bad ribs are usually withdrawn by
hand and that the shortwall machine
is largely used in such pillar recov-
! cry. However, with such proper
ton against the agitators who would
Ilegisatc to forbid the use of ma
I chimes I'M rooms, it is wonder that
such propa gandists do nit Withdraw

The New Haven situation now is
out OF the hands of the interstate

tion, II any is taken on the recon-

prosecuted, lies with the department

Should Electricity be
Declared from, Mines?
The Cole Age:

The Cole Age:
There have always been people
who feared the Introduction of ma
chinery and there will be such timid
creatures till the end of time, and
indeed there is something wholesome
as well as unfortunate in that fear.
We should always inquire carefully
whether the Introduction of advant-
ages balances their dangers. but in
sizing up the situation, we must be
careful lest romancing creeps in to
add Imagination to risk.
The rmearks of A. p. Cameron, al
the Monongahela meeting of the Coal
Mining Institute of America were
quite relevant, in view of the great
desire on the part of the less intelli-
gent union men to shut out machin-
cry from the mines The miner
wears machine-made clothes, lives in
a house of machinemade lumber
uses a machine-made pick and car
ries a machine-made lamp and hard
ly touches anything from the trade
in which he reposes when he is born
to the coffin In which re reclines in
death but what is made by machin-
cry and is cheapened by its use
yet he now tries to declare he will
have none of it. Others may labor
for him with the utmost efficiency
he himself will work in the old-fash
ioned way Cheap clothing, housing
picks, lamps. cradles and coffins for
him, but dear coal for all others.
He has not been able to put this
in the mining agreement. so he will
see if ne can insert it in the law, and
so he has been inquiring in Pennsyl-
vauia of those candidates who are
ignorant of mining whether they will
help him drive the electric mining
machine and even the electric cur
rent from the mines. And some have
50 pledged themselves, for the vote
of the miner i: the hope of the would
be representative.
Dangerous machinery is to be
.avoided, but iwe wezsannota admit that as
b whole. electrical machinery, prop
erly safeguarded, can be SO classed.
We DON'T believe Pennsylvania by
any means a leader in proper precau-
tions against trolley-wire accidents.
We have seen more care in the West
and there is more agitation, at least,
in Ohio, and probably the legislation
in that state has had beneficial ef-
feet. Yet in the bituminous mines OF
Pennsylvania in 1912 only men in
$4,000 were killed by electricity on
entries.
Nineteen machine runners and
scrapers were killed in the bitumin-
GUS mines of the state in 1912. OF
these only one was removing pillars
when killed, yet we are threatened
