The True Word.

Nothing Is clearer than that the
Gospel offers every man omnipotence.
Whatever we ought to do we are as.
sured we can do through Christ.
Christianity is the religion of power
II is not q mere doctrine Of God and
human duty, not an ideal to be vainly
longed after. 1t Is a divine and super
natural life which offers to work
through us to change our character, to
give us victory over sin, to qualify us
for every duty. The shameful and Gun
temptuous and true word of sin to Ys
is "You can't" The glorious and
cheering and true word Of Christ is, II
can, and you can through me."-Rob-

is going in for sandals.
Oh. no. She is not going about with
naked feet covered with thin sandals.
To be right up to date, the "Parisienne"
has also found new stocking.
OF what material this stocking will
be made is still question; possibly
it will be of that fine silk many "ele-
gantes" are at present wearing. One
thing is certain, however. and that is
the Frenchwoman is not going to be
incommoded with sore feet on ac-
count OF strip of leather passing be-
tween the big and second toe of her
dainty feet. Her new stockings are
to be specially adapted to the wear
ing OF sandals.
The idea of any one wearing sandals
at this time of the year with winter
fast coming In makes men SILVER, but
the Parisienne" is not in the least
afraid of winter Even now one of the
biggest French boot shops is unable to
meet all the orders pouring In and the
price of these sandals is reported to be
terrific.

Plan nationwide
WAR STAMP SALE
Treasury Officials to Place "ThrE
Issue" in Small Stores Of
Country.

Plans for placing war savings stamps
on sale in at least a million establish
ments for the campaign opening De-
cember 3 were made yesterday by
Treasury ofrcials and the war savings
committee.
Schools and groceries. cigar stands
and other retail stores will not be re-
quired to buy the stamps. but may
obtain them on consignment for sale.
This scheme is expected to result in the
participation in the savings movement
Of many thousands of small dealers
who otherwise could not afford ads-
quate investment to keep q supply OF
the stamps on hand.
The stamps and certificates will be
distributed through two principal
channels. the post ONCE system and
the banks. Plans will be worked out
within two weeks to permit virtually
any retail dealer to go to a bank or
post Office, give bond as security and
CONTRACTS may be made by some state
campaign managers to give exclusive
sale OF the stamps to certain establish
ments with the understanding that
they give special attention to advertis-
ing.

WAGE ADVANCE GRANTED
TO ANTHRACITE MINERS
Increase Made Conditional Upon the
Fixing Of Higher Prices
to Consumers.

Wage increases ranging from Is to
A. per cent for Pennsylvania anthracite
miners were agreed to by the operators
here yesterday on condition that the
advances are absorbed in higher coal
prices.
AS soon as they had signed their ten
tative new contract the miners and
operators called on Fuel Administrator
Garfield and asked that anthracite
prices be raised to meet the increase
DR.. Garfield took the request under ad-
visement and announced that he would
make careful investigation before
giving a decision. It is estimated that
the wage increases would add about
As cents a ton to anthracite prices and
give the miners about 100000 addi-
tional pay annually.
Fuel Administration officials would
not say last night how DIR. Garfield
views the demand for higher anthra-
cite prices. When bituminous pro-
ducers and miners fixed a new wage
scale recently he increased bituminous
prices to absorb the raise, but bitum-
nous prices had just been cut sharply
in the governments fixing of coal
prices. Anthracite prices remained at
about the same level under the price
fixing.
The new contract. if approved by DR..
Garfield, will supersede a supplemental
contract increasing wages made last
April. which supplemented a four
wear contract signed in May, 1916, and
will run until March 81. 1920, If the
war has not ended by that date.
