Shortage Is Relieved.

New York, Jan. 7.-New Workers to-
night were faced with the question OF
abandoning non-essentials as the re-
suit Of the shortage Of coal. Imme-
diate and pressing needs have been
cared for in a number OF respects,
but the coal supplies reaching the city
were described by Harry T. Peters,
chairman of the mayors fuel commit
tee and head Of the local Federal Con-
servation Board, as only protection. 4"
A number of industries have been
compelled to shut down as the result
OF the failure of their normal fuel re-
ceipts and the workmen have been sent
home. Hospital supplies are low,
churches are unable to open their
doors and what looms as serious is
the one-day supply Of fire houses.
Some government work has been af-
fected by the famine and the ship
ping situation has not been materially
relieved. AS the result OF strenuous
efforts a number of transatlantic ves-
sells were cleared. The majority, how
ever. are held with full cargoes aboard
awaiting bunker coal.
Say New England Favored.
New York officials were aroused
when they discovered that priority
orders in favor of New England
were taking q great quantity of
the coal arriving here. Messages
were sent to Fuel Administrator
Garfield and Secretary McAdoo ask
ing that there be sufficient lifting
of these orders to relieve the situa-
tion here.
New York is on the map" Mr..
Peters declared. "Our present sup
plies are only protective We are
not asking for any advantage over
other sections of the country but
we do want to know II we are get
ting our fair share of the coal dis
tribution."

Kaiser Bill, will say good bye; and
the War savings stamps that we sell

War RatiOns- Cannot Be

Say Authorities.

According to leading authorities, it
is no longer necessary for thin frail
people to give up hope of becoming
strong and healthy. The discoverS<of
Irogen, they say, has demonstrated
the fact that thinness is causedfby q
lack of the nourishment which max
ture requires for the building of flesh
and strength, and which 1T is now
known Irogen supplies.
This new discovery, they point out,
has been proven, after exhaustive ex-
periments and tests, TO be one of the
most important made in modern
times, inasmuch as its results are
permanent, and Unlike the so-called
tonics, which only temporarily slim
ulate.
One physician declares that thin
people need not put the blame for
their excessive thinness and lack of
endurance POWERS upon the present
restrictions and conservation of food
stuffs, for food alone can not build
flesh, if the blood itself is not proper

enough food nowadays, he contends,

supply this deficiency so well as Iro-
gen he points to the hundreds of cases
here in<Carthage where thin, weak,
frail people have gained astonishingly
in weight and become strong, sturdy,
healthy men and women after using
IFogen.
y This increase in weight is also fol-
lowed by a great improvement in the
general health, it is said. Nervous
ness, sleeplessness, and lack of
energy, which nearly always accom-
pany thinness, indigestion and dys-
pepsia soon disappear; dull eyes be-
come bright and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of health, is the re-
port of those who have watched the
reAults of this new product.
Irogen is plentiful and there is no
necessity of conserving the supply,
say experts. For this reason people
are cautioned to be liberal in use of
it and not cease the treatment before
it has had time to show the full re-
suits.
