The School Bonds

We have had called to our at
tention an error which appeared
in the article in last week s
HERALD in re the school bond
election. In this article it was
stated that six thousand dollars
were needed to defray the amount
still due on the Rosemary School
Building. The six thousand dollars
in question is simply the general
outstanding indebtedness Of the
District, chargeable to no parti-
cular school, and caused by the
recent additions exceeding in
cost the estimates made before
the last bonds were voted. While
not a material mis-statement of
fact, we yet wish to correct
promptly any impression which
might have been formed erron-
eously in regard to the cost of,
or Indebtedness on, nyparticular
school building.

Do You Want to Get Fat and Strong!


The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods: rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture stunt,
while the real cause Of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract properly assimilates
the food you eat. Drink glass of cold
water four or five times day and take
the following preparation known to
reliable druggists almost everywhere,
which seemingly embodies the missing
elements needed by the digestive organs
to help them convert food into rich.
fat-laden blood This preparation is
called tonoline, and remarkable testi-
mony is given as to its successful use in
flesh building. Tonoline which comes in
the form of small non-injurious tablet,
taken at meals and mixed with the
digesting food, tends to prepare fat,
flesh and muscle building elements so
that the blood can readily accept and
carry them to the starved portion of
the body. You can readily picture the
transformation that additional and
previously lacking flesh making material
should bring to your cheeks, filling out
hollows about your neck, shoulders and
bust disappearing, and your taking on
from Is to 30 pounds of solid healthy
flesh. Tonoline is harmless, inexpensive,
efficient. Roanoke Pharmacy Co. and
Rosemary Drug Co. have it and are
authorized to refund your money if
weight increase is not obtained as per
the guarantee found in each large
package.
Caution tonoline is recommended
only as a flesh builder and while ex-
cellent results in cases of nervous in
digestion, etc, have been reported,
care should be taken about using 1t un-
less gain Of weight is desired.

CAR SHORTAGE
GROWING SERIOUS
Mines Unable to Keep
Busy Owing to Lack
OF Cars.
W0RKMEN ARE LEAVING MINES
Only a Limited Number Of Com
paniesAble to Secure
Transportation.


Greenville, KY, June 15.-The car
shortage situation in Western Ken
lucky is a question that is growing
daily more serious, and is at best far
worse than the general public has
been informed. There are thirteen
mines on the Illinois Central railway
in Muhlenberg county and Ohio coun-
ty capable of producing 1000 tons
of coal per day, which are by reason
of the car shortage only producing
5000 tons or less per day.
1t is estimated by men who know
that if the present condition contin-
ues for another thirty days most, if
not all the mines will have to close.
Some of them now are running only
one day a week, and notwithstand-
ing the present high prices being re-
ceived for coal, the overhead expense
of maintaining he mines is so great
that the operators are fast losing
money. Not only are the operators
suffering, but the miners, despite the
recent increase in wages, are moving
to Indiana and Illinois and Eastern
Kentucky. Some of them, it is said,
are abandoning homes which they
own and going away because the
mines are closed down so much Of
the time on account of the lack of
the cars.
There are three mines in this sec
: ton, however, which are enjoying a
full supply of cars, IL is.said, the Mel
son Creek Coal Company, the Central
Coal & Iron Company in Muhlenberg
county, and the Williams Coal Com
pany in Ohio county. These three
mines have recently sold their entire
output to the Illinois Central, Rail-
road Company. and are being furn-
ished more cars every day than can
be loaded it being estimated that
there are at these three mines each
day as many as from nine to twenty
one empty cars left over which the
mines are unable to load with coal.
The railroad, by reason of the agree
ment for furnishing cars to the ex-
tent of their capacity to these mines,
are enabled to get the coal at a very
low figure, but it is contended by the
other operators that they should not
be compelled to suffer by reason of
that arrangement.
1t is also shown that the Illinois
Central has SO per cent. of its cars
at it's disposal. while it is only fur
nishing between 25 per cent. and 80
per cent. to the mines located along
its system in Western Kentucky,
while it is stated that the mines of
Illinois are running full time.
1t is said that go per cent. of the
car supply would keep the mines
running a fair portion of the time,
would enable the miners to remain
in this field. and would save the OPP
orators from trouble.

PROFIT BY THE
EXPERIENCE OF FRANCE

The men who registered for draft
will be minutely examined for tuber
cular tendencies and none accepted
for military duty who show them.
The sad experience Of France which
did not give sufficient attention to
the problem before the war, and nov
has a large part of her armies inva-
lided by consumption, has taught our
army officials that they can not be
too careful in examinations for the
disease, which the stress and excite
ment of army life rapidly develop.
The State tuberculosis Commission,
at Frankfort. is cooperating with
the Government surgeons in procur-
ing the most competent doctors to aid
them in the examinations.
