A cheerful. light-hearted woman is
the Joy Of mans life. Beauty will
fade. good figure will change. but
the charm Of health and cheerfulness
will endure to the end. But how can
a woman be cheerful and happy when
dragged down by some female de-

ache, and often on the verge Of a
nervous breakdown.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

THE ELDER MRS. MORTON LOOKS
CLYDE OVER.

Lets go over and return Mrs. Ger
ards call and see Clyde Jaynes," sug-
Sested Nell one afternoon as she and
her mother in law sat sewing in the
sunny living room.
"All right. 1t is only a step and we
can get back before the children get
home from school," Mrs. Morton rose.
To think of thing was to do it in her
prompt. decisive nature.
IF Mr.. Jaynes Is able to receive
callers we viii look in on him before
we go, said Nell when the CONVERSE
ton with Marjory began to lag.
"Oh, he sees anybody now. He will
go home tomorrow. l shall feel quite
lost to be all alone in the house, |
have not been alone for SO long" Mar
jory led the way into the sick room.
clyde had answered the sentence or
two of conversation with bored po-
likeness that was very evident. The
ladies had not sat down. The elder
Mrs. Morton had been looking at the
young man with a quizzical express
sion on her face; finally she said:
you must get your father to bring
you out to the farm when the weather
gets settled. There is good fishing in
the river. People have been known
to catch fish there" The grim old
face wore smile. and the eyes
twinkled.
Thank you. l am not much of a
fisherman, and if l get SO | can stand

rather ungracious answer.
People who have to live in a per-
petual whirl and clatter, are suffering
from poverty of IDEAS was the
prompt rejoinder. Noise is not a
good substitute for thoughts. Furnish
up your head with ideas and you will
not suffer from solitude"
Clyde laughed. THAT is a good one.
Conversation with you would stir ones
blood; I'd enjoy it more than fishing.
I'll some out"
DO! I like young people. and a
bout with you would keep my wits
nimble. I imagine our views of life

at the young man over her spectacles.

In order to maintain our peace and
make certain the security of our
people within our own borders, the
country must have not only ade-
quate but thorough and complete
national defense. ready for any
emergency. We must have suffi-
cient and effective regular army
and provision for ample reserves,
already drilled and disciplined.
VINO can be called at once to the
colors when the hour Of danger
comes.
We must have a navy so strong
and so well proportional and
equipped, so thoroughly ready and
prepared. that no enemy can gain
command of the sea and effect a
landing in force on either our west
ern or our eastern coast.
We must perform all our duties

ncutrals, without fear and with
out favor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-
Events shaped rapidly today to-
ward relieving the threatened coal
shortage and high prices for fuel
turnout the country.
Tentatively prices, averaging
about $2.23 ton, for home sizes,
fixed by President Wilson for coal
at the mouth of every bituminous
mine, went into effect.
Prices to retailers and consum-
ers will follow shortly.
II. A. Garfield, president of
Williams college, and now chair
man of the wheat price fixing
board, has accepted the post of
fuel dictator.
The rates of profit to be fixed
by the president is expected to be
20 cents ton for wholesalers and
30 cents for retailers.
This, added to the presidents
prices at the mouth of the mine
in the 20 Goals districts of the
country, together with railroad
freight and expenditures of local
delivery, will afford every city a
working basis for figuring the coal
costs to the American home.
The presidents prices at the
mines range from $1.90, for big
coal veins, to 1926 in Washing
ton state veins, which are the
smallest.

Will Our Coal -
Prices Drop Z

Prices of coal delivered at
Tacoma homes will be con-
siderably reduced by the gov
ernment's coal regulation pro-
gram put party into effect
today.
The coal prices will NOT
be reduced.
The mines will have to be
Communicated by the presi-
dent.
These are opinions of various
Tacomans who ought to be au-
thorit.es on the subject as gath
cred today by The Times.
The prices as fixed in Presi-
dent Wilson's announcement for
Washington are the highest al
lowed in the Union, 1926 for
run of mine" $3.50 for prepared
sizes and SO for slack.
The average the country over
was about $2.25.
Rail Haul 81
Washingtons coal costs more
to produce, 1t is explained, be-
cause the veins are small, the
coal all has to be washed, miners
wages are higher than in most
other states and to various other
causes.
The average rail haul to Taco
ma from the mines is in the neigh
borhood of 81 a ton. From Car
bonado and Wilkeson, for in
stance. the rate is IS cents long
tom from Roslyn, $3.50; Black
Diamond, SO cents; South Prairie,
$1.05.
Carriage $3.50.
Carriage will cost the local re-
tailers on the average $3.50 a ton,
coal men claim. With these items
added to the other expenses of
getting the fuel from the mine to
the householder's bin, and 20
cents allowed the wholesaler and
retailer as profit, on top of the
$3.50 the government allows the
mine owner for coal in prepared
sizes, the ultimate cost will not
be much less than the present
market quotations. such, at least,
is the view today or Tacoma coal
men.
They admit, however, that they
are making this prediction wito.

Other well informed persons de-
clare that Dictator Garfield s regu-

Coal mine managers assert that
