New Treatment
For VaricOse Veins
and Ulcers


Swollen veins are dangerous and
often burst. Sufferers are advised
to get small bottle of Moone's
Emerald Oil at any pharmacist and
start to reduce the veins and
punches at once.
Physicians recommend Emerald
Oil; it is used in hospital practice,
and a small bottle will last long
time. Apply night and morning as
directed until the swelling is re-
duced to normal.
So marvelously powerful is EN-
erald Oil that swollen glands, var.
icocele and even goitre disappear
when used steadily. Glenn Thistle
thwaite's 5 Drug Stores can sup

PRICE Of eggs IN
FA|RM0NT RAISED
Old Excuse of Moulting
Hens is Only One
Offered.

In Fairmont eggs were being retail,
ed at 80 and 40 cents on Saturday and
this morning the price had jumped to
43 and 4G cents, only one or two cx.
ceptions were there who still held to
the old 40 cent price. In New York
city eggs nave jumped from so cents
to 65 and it is predicted the price will
reach the dollar mark inside OF two
weeks. Consumers are now wanting
to know why?
1.-The hens are moulting and natur.
ally are not laying. People want eggs
and are willing to pay for them. So
there you are" was one explanation.
The man in charge of a car load OF
eggs from the Armour packing com.
pany, In the city today, said:
my company has not yet told me
Of any advance in price. but may get
word to raise the price at any time.
l think the scarcity and result in that
increase In price is due 10 the fact
that since eggs are scarce. all the big
egg dealers are trying to buy enough
to protect their markets. and to get
them they are having to pay fancy
prices. OF course such action affects
the entire trade"

diate court begins tomorrow with
thirty one bootlegger appeal cases
on the docket. These are less than

a month ago will appear tomorrow and
it IS likely that after the docket is
readand revised for trial. that the

be begun at once by Judge Vincent.
The state cases however, are but a
small portion Of the vast amount OF
business that has accumulated for
this busy court. There are at present
20 law cases to be heard Of which IS
are appeals from Justices courts.
Many Of these law cases will require
a jury for trial and will likely be
taken up before the chancery docket
Is considered. On the chancery dock.

ried over until this term and 12 new
cases that were filed during October

in Golfers Cases Must
= Stand.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-The su-
preme court today refused to review
the conviction of four labor leaders in
the 1913 coal strike at Golfers, w. Va.

prison for contempt Of court In fall
Ing to obey an injunction issued by
federal district Judge.
The cases are another outcrop OF
litigation in connection with Judge

Workers was an unlawful conspiracy
in its organization and operation. The
defendants were members Of the union
and were found guilty OF melting min
ers to leave or refuse employment.
Their conviction was affirmed by the
fourth federal circuit court Of appeals
on the theory that Judge Dayton's de.
cree against the United Mine Work
ers was valid.
The case is set for argument before
the supreme court during present
term. The four leaders were Fanny
Sullens. Frank Ledvinka. James Oates
and Hiram Stephens.

COAL FAMINE
IS PREDICTED
FOR NEW YORK
Scarcity of Labor at the
Mines One Of the
Causes.
CAR SHORTAGE ANOTHER
Hard Coal of Stone Sizes
Likely to Go to Nine Dol
lars by Christmas.
CAR SHORTAGE ANOTHER
(By Associated Pressl

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-A shortage Of
coal is in prospect for this city this
winter according to the dealers who
declared their bins are depleted, their
shipments delayed and that the out
look for immediate or eventual release
Is poor. The shortage applies to both
hard and soft coal.
Failure to receive the usual amount
OF coal Is attributed to scarcity of la
Dor at the mines and lack Of cars for
transportation, the latter Of which Is
SAIL to be mSst serious, due to the
movement Of war munitions and other
freight for export. The enormous for.
eign trade Is also blamed for the
shortage. which, It Is stated, exists in
other sections Of the country as well
as here.
Prices to New York house.holders
for stove and nut coal vary from 81
to $7.75 cents. Dealers declare that
with seasoEable weather the price will
reach IS before Thanksgiving and
that 50 coal is not too high to expect
at Christmas.

the capture Of Sphaeben redoubt on
the ridge above Thiepval the British
took prisoner for every yard Of front

yards not to mention the number kill.
cd by artillery in preparation and In
hand to hand fighting before survivors
surrendered. The Germans manning
the trench and those In reserve dug

into one line back Of the parapet.
This gives an idea Of the impor
lance the Germans attach to hat LAS
bit of high ground along their old
trenches south of the Somme around
the Thiepal ridge about which their
desperate resistance marked It as the
most precious two acre plot In all Of
France.
After the British got the first half

ed counter attacks to recover posses.
sion Of it. and for the last week there
has been no secession of the fighting.
Now the British looked down all along
the Valley to the Grandecourt and g
is impossible apparently for the Ger.
mans to maintain batteries in that
area. Between the new British posi-.
tion and the river along the old front
line Notifications of German infantry
commanded by British guns from two
sides still stick to their mazes Of the
trenches going and coming like wood,

leries. A German prisoner reports In
this neighborhood there is a record
size dugout capable Of holding $500
men.
They do hate to leave their happy
homes which they have been two years
building" said a British soldier.
The big garrison which Germans
maintain for the most part keep to
their dugout rushing out when there is
any recess in shell fire to try to repair
the damage done. When they are OBJ.
served British guns let loose on them.
Finally when nothing but wreckage of
trenches remains and only the dugouts
are intact British infantry charges to
gain another section OF ground.
In taking the remaining uncaptured
portion Of stuff redoubts in the same
region the British took 100 prisoners
with loss Of 35 men.
Along the ceEtre OF battle line the
British have made some attacks In
last week though not in great strength.
They succeeded In some places and
failed in others against German re-
sistance. On the whole It was the
quietest week since the beginning Of
the grand offensive.
