soar FOR BABY's TENDER SKIN

The regular use Of TesInol soap IS
usually enough to prevent those dis

most babies are subject. This Is So
first, because resinol soap Is absolutely

second, because il contains the resinel
medication, on which SO many physi-

1t has just been learned on
seemingly good authority that
the @. @. a. o. has bought forty
per cent of the stock
of the big coal and coke
plant at Toms Creek and
Will shortly install a large anu
milton plant in connection with
the coke works there. I'm the
same connection it is reported
that the G.. @. & O. will extend
their line from Clinch River
into Coebnrn aud up the creek
without delay In fact 1t is
said that gang of men are all
ready at work on the extension.
AS result of these develop
ments, real estate in Coeburu
and vicinity has advanced in
price very rapidly, and the Coe-
burn Real Estate Company is
said to have bought up all the
vacant lots between Coeburn
and Bondtown anticipating
still further advances.
Almost all the coke ovens are
now in full blast and the tide
OF industry Is running high in
this section The opening of
this new and important indus
try, bringing as it will many
new families of workmen into
the field, will mean further
growth and development on

Mr.. Irvine Comments on
Present Prosperity While
in Washington City.

The Hon. Tate Irvine, of Big
Stone Gap, who has been in
Washington for few DAYS.
had occasion TO give an inter
view touching present condi.
tons in the Southwest Virginia
coal fields. a Washington
correspondent has the follow
ing To say of Mr.. Irvine's visit
to Washington:
Mr.. Irvine spent Friday and
Saturday in Washington ap-
pearing before the Interstate
Commerce Commission as
attorney for the Southwest Vir-
ginia coal companies who are
lighting general rate Increase
on coal shipments To the West.
Contrary to the expressed
views of Congressman Slemp,
Republican, OF the Ninth dis
trict, who says the present
boom in business is brought
about by the war alone, Mr..
Irvine says the present pros
perity is attributable to the
Wilson administration; wise
legislation passed by the Dem
ocratic Congsrss and the feeling
among big business generally
that the Democratic party has
their welfare in mind and will
do nothing TO disturb them as
long as they "play fair"
Mr.. Irvine believes IA goodly
portion of the present prosperity
IS caused by general conditions
which were due to improve
whenever a good Democratic
administration took hold of the
relns of government.
In regard to politics, Mr..
Irvine sees no cause for pessi.
mism over the elections held a
few days ago. I'm fact he de-
clared he considered it good
showing for the Democratic
party as whole, and stated
that in the few places Republi-
can gains were made they were
attributable TO local conditions
rather than TO any dissatisfac.
ton with the Democratic ad
ministration, or the Democratic
policies.
In answer to the question:
How about yourself; are you
going to run for Congress down
in the Ninth district AGAIN."
MIR. Irvine raised his hand and
replied:
Never again I'm done with
politics; out of politics entirely
now; attending to my bust
ness. Bristol Herald Courier.
