Rising Temperature
Cheers Workmen in the
Anthracite Country

Reading. Pa, Feb. with rising
temperature and prospects of warmer
weather, the situation in the anthra-
cite fields presents a more cheerful
aspect to-day. Ever since Sunday
coal and freight trains were frozen
up, the water failed at various points
and huge drifts confronted train
crews at every turn. The reports

the intense cold weather last night
and the high wind, only about 800
cars of anthracite were moved out
of st. Clair and Cressona.
The Williamsport express due in
Reading at S.26 o'clock last night
did not arrive here until after a. m.
to-day. The delay was due TO the
stalling of trains on various parts of
the Sham okin division and the ina
bility of the little army of laborers
and trainmen to dig them out of the
snow. 4 number of the engineers of
the stalled trains were obliged to
draw fires. Some kept up steam by
shoveling snow onto the tanks and
then turning on the steam.

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food distress
after eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di-
gestors. are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injur-
ing beyond repair every nerve in his
body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength. energy and elias
ticity into it, and make it sturdy
enough to digest a hearty meal with
out artificial aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by II. c. Kennedy, and
is rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion, or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-
ma, and is sold in small tablet form
in large boxes, for only a few cents.
Remember the name. Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. They never fail.-Advertise-
ment.
