Des Moines. Dec. s.-Coal troubles
are again forging to the front. now that
cold weather is general. Complaints
Of coal shortage. which eased up APP
probably during the mild weather Ut
November, are again coming in to the
Office OF the state fued administrator.
Thus far State Fuel Administrators
Webster has been successful in secur-
ing coal for communities where there
was an actual need. With real winter
here it is question whether or not the
demand can be met
Trouble broke out anew in Des
,Moines yesterday when the teamsters
demanded an increase Of Is cents per
ton for hauling coal when the govern
ment'a order that not more than two
tons OF coal could be delivered to any
one customer was put into effect. The
Transfers declared that II they could
only haul two tons ut time they
would have to get more money per ton
or go into other lines Of teaninA It
10 hoped some agreement will be
reached with the teamsters.
The retail dealerz are appealing
from the decision Of the local fuel
board in DesI Moincs which fixed the
price OF coal at the mine TO the retail
trade at. - and delivered at 35.15. A
hearing was held before Fuel Admin
istrator Webster wednesday afternoon
on this appeal. The coal men say they
are ready to carry their appeal to
Washington.
F The prompt unloading OF coal cars Is
being urged both by the fuel commit
tee and the railroads. Senator w. g.
Haskell established record in unload
ing twenty-seven cars Of coal In his
yards in Cedar Rapids and not one car
was held over twenty-fcur hours. A
similar record was made by firm in

There have been Mays and Junes for
mary years and while this May was
very cold and wet-there have been
others. Twenty years ago there was
a May so nice that Joe Reed (who then
had store in Fairmont but is now
teaching school at Morgantown and is
applicant for the position of super1n-
tendent of the Boys Industrial School
Mt Pruntytown), sold nearly all the
straw hats he had in stock and serious
ly considered another order about
juno /. Straw hats sold like the pro.
verbal hot.cakes as many as $500
worth on Saturday night. He did not
lay in another stock and was lucky for
June turned cold and the few straw
hats on hand June did not sell that
summer. In early June, 1855, there
was frost which grandpa still talks
about. Corn was knee high and pota-
toes and vegetables in fine shape when
the frost of 1858 did its dirty work.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's ar
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply,

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a SO cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, -
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-kRown downtown druggist says
1t darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. By morning the,&gray hair dis
appears, and after another application OF
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.
It is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.
