The Habit of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold
is a habit, but fortunately one
that is easily broken. Take a
cold sponge bath every morning
when you first get out of bed
not ice cold, but a tempature of
about 80 degrees F. Also sleep
with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy and get rid of ii
as quickly as possible. Obtainable
everywhere.

OPERATORS INCREASE
PEA COAL QUOTATIONS
Some Companies and individuals
Take Advantage Of Govern
ment Fixed Rate

Some PENNSYLVANIA anthracite coal COM
panies with main Offices in Philadelphia
and other large operators have taken steps
to benefit by advancing pea coal to the
maximum price allowed by the Government
under its recently announced schedule.
The Susuuehanna Coal Company has
been quoting 81 at the mines for pea and
certain large individual operators are now
asking s4.75. being the full figures which
the Government has said the railway
owned" coal companies and individuals"
might respectively receive.
Although since the sale of the Susaue-
hanna by the Pennsylvania Railroad to NJ
A. Hanna a. 60. the company might be con-
sidered as an individual operator, the COM
pany was specifically named among the
seven or eight large companies whose price
for this size was fixed at ninety cents above
the Reading Coal and Iron Company's cir
cuar.
Advance to the full price allowed by the
Government does not however, mean
strictly that buyers will have to pay ninety
cents a ton more than they have been pay
ing, as the price for pea all this season has
not been uniform among the various COM
panies, the Reading having been the lowest
other companies have been from fifteen to
forty cents above the Reading basis
August quotation of Reading for pea has
been 50 at the mines: Lehigh Valley has
been s315 and Lehgh Coal and Navisa.
ton S3dO. When this basis was announced
last May It was felt by many operators
that Reading had cast its price for pea
lower than trade conditions required.
Reading I.ehigh Valley and Lehgh Coal
and Navigation have not changed their
quotations for pea coal since the Govern
ment made public the maximum prices TO
be allowed, the company's prices being
guaranteed for the calendar month. hence
their quotations for September on this size.
expected in few days are awaited with
interest. on other domestic sizes the usual
advance Of ten cents a ton over August
prices is expected. this being in accordance
with the Readings circular and with the
Governments schedule
The privilege of individual operators
quoting seventy-fve cents more than the
railway-owncd companies is not depart
ure from the provision laid down by the
Federal Trade Commission last spring and
therefore does not of itself increase the
wholesale cost of anthracite to buyers
Several of the large companies say they
have mo pea coal to SELL" the production
being taken as fast II ii comes forward and
going into immediate consumption. Though
pea to great extent has become a size for
domestic consumers. it has been taken
eagerly the last two seasons by munitions
plants and other manufacturers, hence the
short supply. The Reading hauls the bulk
of its pea coal to this city and along the
line.
