Des Moines. May 92.-Fuel Commits
soner Charles Webster is advocating
that employers finance their en-
ployes. if necessary. in laying in their
stock of coal. Many men do not find
it an easy matter to advance SIS to
800 at this time of the year Off their
winters supply Of coal but If their
employers would advance the money
for them it would be big help ak
around.
Iowa citizens must store coal dur
ing the summer months il the supply
Is to be anything like sufficient this
winter. With the consumers ordering
coal the mines will he kept busy. the
mine workers will not leave for other
fields. the delivery of the coal will be
compare lively easy and the chances
are the consumer will be money ahead
IN normal times it is the duty OF
employers to interest themselves In
the welfare Of their employees" de-
clares Commissioner Webster in a
statement issued today. But in alb
normal times such as these 1t is
doubly their duty to do so.
"It's-their duty to assist and finance,
if necessary. the thousands Of en-
ployes in the purchase OF their winter
COAL Every ton Of coal that goes In
the bins at this time means that much
less motive power required next win

WILL RELIEVE contested RAIL
LINES OF SHORTHAND AND
LOCAL FREIGHT.
FIRST EXPERIMENTAL
LINE SUCCESSFUL
Motorase Freishtase Between Mason
City and Albert Lea, Mimi, Found
Less Expensive Than Rail Trans

Opened to St. Anssar, Mitchell, Usage
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican
Mason City. May 22.-Following two
successful trips Of freight motor truck
between Mason City and Albert Lea,
Mimi, plans are now being formed
here to open up new territory with
proposed route to ST. Ansgar, Mitchell
and Usage northeast Of here. The
towns are near Mason City but badly
situated for railroad connections.
J. D. Eggleston. of this city, who has
the work under way, says that truck
loaded with freight from Mason City
houses will be started for the three
towns some day next week. 1t is not
known at the present time what day
the trip will be made or just what will
be taken.
This proposed line follows the open
ing of the route between this city and
Albert Lea, which tho still in the ex-
detrimental stage is expected to become
permanent industry. These routes
are being formed for purpose of re =
lieving the congested railroad lines Of
the short haul and local freight which
is carried in less than carload lots.
Decreased Transportation Cost.
Figures of costs on the first trips are
now available. according to Mr..
Eggleston, who says that the cost per
hundred pounds of hauling the freight
to Mason City by truck was thirty
three cents a hundred while the same
cost for carriage and railroad freight
figures fifty-one cents per hundred
pounds.
Interest continues to be shown in
the proposition and many inquiries are
beinG received daily in Mason City
concerning these proposed motor ex-
press and freight routes.
While the second route between
Mason City and Usage takes the truck
off of we'll marked roads and routes
the trip between Mason City and
Albert Lea is over the path of the
Jefferson Highway and as far as is
known the maiden trips Of ton and
a half truck over the roads are the
first efforts on the highway to estab-
lish permanent motor freight and ex-
press routes.

HASTY BREAKFAST
BRINGS FAINTNESS
Some Food Facts That Every
body Ought To Know

The food we eat is like the fuel that
is fed to an engine. When during the
forenoon following hasty breakfast of
toast and coffee you feel faint and
hungry it is your body. crying out for
fuel.
Many people who are under weight.
thin, pale and run down. are actually
starving to death because they do not
get the proper amount Of nourishment
from the food they eat. Such people
can gain weight only by taking food
that is easily absorbed by the system
and such food tonic is Father Johns
Medicine which has tremendous food
value.
Scientific tests by expert chemists
prove that Father Johns Medicine is
six times more nourishing than pure
milk and many times more valuable AS
flesh building food than many Of the
common articles Of diet. Crowded with
nourishmsnt and absolutely free from
dangerous drugs and alcohol Father
Johns Medicine is recognized as the
safest tonic flesh builder and tonic food
for all the family.
Get a bottle today. take it after
meals and at bedtime and you will find
yourself gaining. flesh and strength
steadily.
