Allied Military Heads
Tell English Miners

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Marshal Foch,
Field Marshal Haig and Admiral
Beatty, commander-in-chief of the
grand fleet, sent messages of greet
ing to the coal miners federation at
Southampton yesterday, urging a
greater output of coal.
Coal is the key to victory. The
miners OF Great Britain must help us
This was the message from Marshal
Foch.
Baron Clathrop. the coal controller,
told the miners that the supply was
36,000.000 tons short this year The
shortage should be kept down eight
or nine million tons by a rationing
plan and he hoped there would be a
greatly increased output. Referring
to the coming winter, the controller
said:
Il believe that no real hardship
will be inflicted on the ordinary house
holder but many may have to submit
to a great deal of inconvenience and
a change of habits"

brother, Corporal Harry M. Ray, who

home know more about what is going
on than we do" he said. but one
thing is certain. the American troops
have the Huns on the run, and he will
soon find out that he had better quit"
Ray stated that they had been in
the trenches for some time, and that
it was very uncertain when they would
be relieved He said that they were
on the firing line at night, and slept at
night, provided they could, amid the
whistle of the shells and the hum of
the airplanes. 1--WE have been up in
the mountains 5000 feet above sea
level, and it is just beginning to get
warm now, in the middle of july" he

were wearing their overcoats on the

Newcastle Boy
Strong as a Mule
Son of J. P. Hamm Was in
Bad Condition Until He
Took Interstate Treatment
BUT RECLAIMED HEALTH
Boy Says He Feels Strong as
a Mule.

Mr. J. B. Hamm of this city is so
elated over the Improvement in his
sons condition that he writes the fol
lowing letter for publication:
ITO the Publicity boy had been
going down hill since last March. We
had him under the care of physician
but he couldn't make any progress
with the case from some cause.
His eye-balls were yellow. his skin
was yellow, urine yellow, losing in
flesh rapidly. No appetite and no en-
ergy We began to think we were go
ing to lose him and believe now we
would had we not taken him to the
Interstate Doctors, which we did the
oath of last August. They hadn't doc
tored him two weeks till his eyes
cleared up, skin began clearing up and
he began TO have a vigorous appetite.
We only treated with them one month
till they dismissed the case as COM
pletely well. The boy gained in flesh
and now says he feels as active as
mule
Il shall always say a good word for
; the Interstate Doctors. not only for
their ability but for their honesty as
badly scared as we were they could
have run the case on us two or three
mouths, out IL SHOWS from the cOnQuCC
of our boys case, that money isn't all
they are after. ]. H. HAMM,
R. F. D. No. /, Newcastle Ind"

of many received by the Interstate
