TO AILING WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
A Sufferer In Milford.

No woman should consider herself
healthy and we'll if the kidneys are weak.
Poisons that pass off when the kidneys
are well, are retained in the body when
the kidneys are disordered. If the kid
neys and bladder become infamed and
swollen worse troubles may quickly fol-
low. This is often the cause of bearing
down pains. lameness. backache. etc.
Uric poisoning is also frequent cause of
headaches, dizzy spells, languor, nerv-
BUSINESS and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so. try Doan's Kidney
Pills. a remedy that has proven effective
in thousands of such cases. Let this
Milford woman tell of her experience.
Mrs. George Davis, 1l2 w. Third St..
says Il used Doan's Kidney Pills which
l bought at the Corner Drug Store and
! found them very satisfactory. | do
not hesitate to recommend DOan's as
prompt relief for backache and other
kidney disorders.
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's

various managers of the retail coal companies
scattered over the City of New York. And
every one of these consumers is wondering
where in the name of Old King Coal the little
rascal of an Ethiopian is concealed.
Well, there is no use guessing at things and
irving to set up fine theories that some otner
fellow will knock down with other fine theo-
ries. The only thing that really counts Is
sober truth, and sober truth is obtained by
assembling facts. Suppose, then, that all VINO
are interested in the subject Of coal take the
facts here presented, assemble them to suit
themselves and work out their own theories
If. in the course Of their mental rambles, they
find Jim Crow, they can pass the news along
to other searchers in the coal bins.
In the beginning it will be well to bear in
mind that two prices are charged for coal
sold at wholesale by the coal producers. For
stove COAL for example, one of these prices is
f. O. b. New York Harbor $3.50 ton, and
the other is f. 0. b. New York Harbor $3.50
ton. Between these two prices the rate OF
coal at retail is tentatively fixed Tor New
York City. But in only few instances is
anv coal being delivered, and in no instances
on record are prices quoted.
Where predictions are made by retail dealers
the retail price of anthracite coal in this city
for the month of June is SO ton. Now, the
difference between the price of one set OF pro-
ducers and another set of producers is 1910
ton on stove coal, which is the size generally
used in the steam heating plants.
According to one authority, the retailers
cost of handling and his profit should repre-
sent S1.25 a ton, but, according to large
retailer, it represents $3.50 ton. Giving the
retailer the benefit of the doubt and admitting
the so figure, it is apparent that II the re-
tailers bought their coal from the mines for
s5.55 a ton f. O. b. New York they could add
sl.5O TO the wholesale cost and the consumer
could buy it for $7.05 ton where no extra
labor is required to put it in the coal bins.
If. on the other hand the retailer paid the
producer SS25 a ton f. o. b. New York for
stove coal and could not buy it at any lower
figure. he would have to add $l.50 to this
price. and the consumer therefore would have
70 nav $3.50 a ton for his COAL and more if it
had to be rehandled
Now, based on a scale between the two
wholesale prices the retail price tentatively
quoted is, in fiat figures, s735 ton. But
YOU can't get the coal. There are no records
of any one buying ton Of coal at the present
time at retail for s7.35. There are instances
where So a ton has been paid. If, then, coal
bought at wholesale price Of $5.b5 ton,
and coal bought at wholesale price varying
between s555 ton and 1925 ton is sold at
retail at So a ton, doesn't it follow that the
consumer, under the existing conditions, is
paving about 81 more ton than he would il
the uniform wholesale price were S6.55 ton?

Growing tired of having the heavy
traffic at the side door, the citizens OF
Forest Hills Gardens got together and
decided to solve the problem. Anybody
who had an idea had the floor.
Up rose woman who had wide cir
Gle of acquaintance in towns as far away
as Pelham, and said that she had come

keep a girl was to get her interested in
local affairs; to bring her interest to

that girls assayed just as much human

profound thinkers there present. Then
she proposed a girls club, whereat two
women asked for aid and glass of
water.
The objections of the two were that

Dedicated to the Proposition
That All Girls Are Human

There was a new idea back of the
club. The idea was that girls were
human. Nobody had ever thought OF
that before. 1t was the universal
opinion that the young women who cast
their career behind a gas range instead
of behind a glove counter got all the
low out of living necessary from their
pots and pans. They could dream their
dreams in their stewpans and imagine
their garrets were throne rooms. 1t
was the common belief that girl who
had entered kitchen left the world be-

Just a Little Local Color on the
Subject of Flora

1t is not the soup. 1t is suitcase.
Flora, who has been with them since
March, has possession of the strategic
sector of the kitchen floor and is clamp
ing down the last buckle of her suitcase.
Flora, what does this mean? Tell
me this instant
Flora does, and. with the soup Just
beginning to scorch. slams the door be-
hind and disappears into the effaclng
night. The guests are waiting and IN
floats the sound of the cocktail shaker
and of the polite laughter over the story
that James is trying to piece out with,
and Flora is now probably to the sub
way. And Just when it meant so much

Thus is another sorrow endured night
here in New York, although the money
goes to Belgium.
To alleviate this sorrow the good resi-
dents of Forest Hills Gardens, Long
Island. are now working and already
success has come with her tapeline and
measured their brow. No longer in this
suburb does the soup burn and the
kitchen door bang to the shaking OF the
