"WE TOLD

Perhaps 1t Is not the acme of good
taste to say, I'VE told you So" but at
the risk of conviction on this count,
The Courier ventures to call attention
to the fact that newspapers all over
America are warning their readers
now Of the coal shortage which The
Courier foresaw in August and endeav.
ored to prevent, as far as Ottumwa
should be concerned, by urging the i'm
mediate purchase Of coal for the win.
ter.
Many took our advice; others have
waited and still are waiting for de-
crease In price as result of govern.
ment control and regulation of the
coal industry. Now, instead Of falling
prices. the prospect is for an increase,
and even at the higher figure there Is
every probability of a coal famine be-
fore the winter is half over.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times had the following
paragraph this week in an article on
coal:
The United States will be in the
throes OF coal famine before jan
uary, in the opinion Of those famil-
lar with the coal industry, unless
steps are taken Immediately by
the government to insure either a
material increase of production or
a reduction In consumption.
Commenting on The Times article,
the Des Moines Register says:
No matter what the government
may do to regulate prices, If there
proves to be an actual shortage Of
coal somebody will suffer, just as
il there is an actual shortage of
fats, somebody is bound to go hun
CRY, no matter what the prices
may be.
Unfortunately it will be the
middle and far west that will be
first to feel the effects of fuel
shortage and 1t should be in the
middle and far west that immedi-
ate notice is taken of the situation.
The deplorable efforts of politicians
to obtain control of the coal situation
and the partial success they have made
along that line have resulted only in a
chaotic condition which has decreased
production and promises to increase
prices. Meanwhile, these same poll
ticians and many newspapers through
out the country have been encouraging
coal buyers to wait for lower prices.
And now, with winter at hand. they
are growing somewhat frantic in urg-
ing immediate buying. just as The
Courier was urging it when the mer-
curry was lowering among the nineties.

YOU HAVE CATARRH!
What Are You Doing To Stop 1t ?

If your nose is clogged, with air
passage swollen and inflamed, or If
crusts are constantly forming in it,
if you suffer from droppings in the
throat and are blowing, hawking,
splitting all the time, you have ca
tarrh.
You may have had catarrh for
years-and go on having it for years
to come If you refuse to act. But if
you really wish TO end it quickly and
feel 100 per cent. better in every
way. go to II. G. Kennedy or any live
local druggist and say. Il want a
large package of Hyomei with in
haler." No stomach dosing, greasy
ointments, sprays or gargles You
breathe Hyomei and as you inhale its
pure, wholesome air its healing tonic
balsams quickly reach all the sore,
infiamed membranes of the nose and
throat and the catarrhal germs are
destroyed. Clears out the head and
throat like magic, opens up the nose,
makes breathing easy and gives COM
plete relief from every catarrhal
symptom. 1t has done this for years
for thousands of people. Your money
back If it cannot do it for you.

II Food Disagrees
Drink Hot Water

When food lies like lead in your
stomach and you have that uncom-
Portable bloated feeling and your
stomach is sour and burning it Is usu-
ally because of excessive secretion of
acid or food fermentation from
chronic catarrh.
In such a case a good and safe
treatment for catarrh of the stomach
is to take before meals a teaspoonful
of pure bisurated magnesia in half a
glass of water, as hot as you can COM
fortably drink IL. The hot water
washes the mucous from the stomach
walls and draws the blood to the stom-
ach while the bisurated magnesia is
a solvent for mucous. thus increasing
the efficiency of the hot water treat
ment. Moreover the bisurated mag
nesia. as physicians can tell you, is
a powerful but harmless antacid which
when taken after meals quickly neu-
tralizes the excess acid and sweetens
your stomach contents.
This hot water and magnesia treat
ment is a far better plan than that of
swallowing some pill or tablet which
simply artificially digests your food
and sends IL still a sour, fermenting
acid mass into the intestines where
II will do almost as much harm as in
the stomach.
AS there are various forms of mag
nesia be sure in following above di-
rections to ask the druggist for
Bisurated Magnesia (either In powder
or tablet form) which is especially
prepared for the correction of stomach
acidity. Geo. A. Gorgas can supply

Women Steady Workers

1t used to be said that women
could not be depended upon like men
to work steadily, and, consequently,
ought not to expect so much pay as
men employed at similar work.
While it would be foolish for any
young woman to stay at work when
physically unfit, it is believed that
most women now continue at their
work as constantly as men. Any
woman who is unable to do so should
take Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, the old, reliable medicine
for woman, and get the aid she needs
to enable her to keep at work.
