MORE NINE WORKERS
NEEDED TO MAINTAIN
THE ANTHRACITE OUTPUT

Under the Pennsylvania law, no
man may get the certificate which he
must have before he can become a
miner in an anthracite mine, until af-
ter he has had two years experience
in anthracite mining. Thus, when
ever a miner is lost to the industry,
no matter what the cause, his place
cannot be filled under two years. That
the law fixes.

to ply their trade with little delay.
All this is certain to result in an un-
even and meager fish supply at the
very season when under normal con-
ditions the fish supply is most regu-
lar and plentiful. So, too, it will re-
suit in higher prices.
There is no sign that the presence
of the Hun off the coast has caused

calling. On the contrary, they have

Forms of Notice.

Two different forms of serving the
notice on the registrants are required
inasmuch as some registrants will be
notified by the local board of orig
inal jurisdiction and in other cases by
the local board having jurisdiction in
his area but not original jurisdiction
over him.
If the board is the one Of original
jurisdiction, that is, the board which
issued his registration and question
naire, a written or printed notice shall
be mailed to the registrant's last
known address or served personally
on him by a person designated by the
local board and by a notice posted in
the Office of the local board. These
shall be considered sufficient notice
whether the registrant be found with
in or without the territorial jurisdic-
ton of the local board.
In the case of registrants found
within the area under the jurisdiction
of a local board issuing the notice but
not having original jurisdiction OF
him, the notice in written or printed
form must be served personally on
the registrant by a person designated
by the local board.

Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made imprcsses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50. 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine Is sterilized
and AS final precsution in cleanliness
the medicine is pAsteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment of
female ills.

adapting clothes to the weather win
often prevent unnecessary suffering.
Ii should be understood. perhaps,
first of all. that heavy clothing does
not necessarily mean warm clothing
and that the Chinese custom of adding
or taking OFF outer garments in accord
ance with the weather is worth con
l'sidering
A chilled body is in dangerous
state. but, on the other hand. there are
many people who bring about an
equally dangerous condition of the
body by keeping it too warm.
The nature of the work you are do
ing should. in most cases. determine
the weight. material and character OF
your chothing

buildings and factories, or whose occu-
patton keeps them indoors, should not
wear heavy underwear. heavy clothes.
heavy shoes or stockings. Ins.end.
they should wear lighter clothing and
provide themselves. when necessary
with heavy outer wraps.
Those people whose work keeps
them in the open large part of the
time should wear sufficient clothing
to prevent their bodies from becoming
chilled
Be careful in the selection of mate
rials for clothing. 1t may be helpful
to know that. In the order of warmth,
| materials are arranged as follows ::
Wool, fur and down. silk. cotton and
| linen.
| Clothing should not be changed ac-
cording to the calendar. but according
TO the weather. so that the body can
be Kept Mt proper uniform tempera-
! ture whatever the season.

health problem. The sight of thinly

and rain. uncovered throats and chests

tism, and many other diseases that
will leave their mark on girl or wom-
an for life.
There are certain "rainy day don'ts''
that are especially essential to health
1. Don't sit in damp clothing.
2. Don't let it dry on you.
3. Don't forget your overshoes; they
may save your having to change TO
dry shoes.
4. Don't wear low slippers and silk
stockings outdoors on n rainy day.
.. Don't expose your chest to the
damp and cold weather.
/. 9. Don't get chilled; II you do,
drink something hot to restore natu-
raj circulation. Hot lemonade is
good.
normal circulation Is the founda-
tion of good health, and anything that
tends to prevent this is dangerous.
Avoid at all times the use of tight
clothing-tight hats, tight neck-bands,
heavy petticoats or dresses that drag
from the waist and hips. and, above
all. tight corsets.
Tight lacing frequently produces
dyspepsia, malnutrition, vomiting
shortness of breath. palpitation and
faintness. and gives rise to round
shoulders and STOPPING carriage.
