New Orleans, April VIRTUALLY
the entire plant Of the Godchaux Su-

companys plantation at Reserve, La,
about 20 miles northwest Of here, was
destroyed by fire early today, accord
ing to long distance telephone reports
received at the company's local office
The plant was valued at about $780,
600, and was considered one of the
largest in Louisiana. The amount of
sugar and material burned was not
stated.
The cause of the fire had not been
ascertained up to noon, but it was re-
ported that during the burning of the
various buildings comprising the
plant, a number of loud explosions
were heard. Company chemists said
there was nothing in the laboratory
to cause such explosions. A new
warehouse was the only building on
the grounds that escaped the flames.
Later the company reported the fire

Get 10-cent box
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, head and nose clogged up
with a cold-always trace this to tor
pid liver; delayed, fermenting food in
the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being ,..st out of
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges-
tion and that dull, throbbing, sicken-
ing headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months.

ORDER ESTABLISHING
MAXIMUM RETAIL MARGINS
ON COAL AND COKE FOR 5. c.
Effective April 10, 1918.


Pursuant to authority invested in
me by the United States Fuel Ad-
ministration, the following maximum
retail gross margins, per ton of 1000
lbs, are hereby established for coke
and coal sold to consumers in the
State of South Carolina. The gross
margins include the expense of de-
livery in purchasers bin or cellar.
Anthracite go. ......... $2.25
Bituminous prepared Sizes :. 200
Bituminous Run of mine, slack
and screenings .. ..... 1.50
COKE Z.oU
An extra delivery charge of 25c
may be added on coal sold in less than
ton lots, but not less than quarter ton
lots.
For example: Suppose that a re-
taile dealer is lawfully charging $500
per ton for his coal, the price to be
charged by this dealer on coal sold
and delivered in lots less than one
ton would be arrived at as follows:
Sale of 1-2 ton of coal at $500 $4.OO
Extra delivery charge permitte. .25
Price in ID ton lots .$4.25
Sale of IA ton of coal at $500 $500
Extra delivery charge permitted 20
Price in II ton lots ... $2.24
The local fuel committee shall fix
the retail gross margin on all coal
delivered in lots of less than 500
pounds.
\ reasonable allowance for drayage
shall be made on all coal sold f. O. b.
dealers yards. The amount of this
allowance will be determined by each.
local fuel committee, and shall be
subject to revision by the State Fuel
Administrator if by him deemed ad-
viSable.
The maXimum margin allowed in
each instance is based upon and is to
be added to the government price f.
o. b. cars on the railroad track at
destination. The dealer must unload
the coal and coke from the railroad
cars at his own expense.
Dealers have the right to expect
their customers to pay promptly for
all coal and coke purchased The
dealers need the money to buy more
coal, because they are on cash basis
Two-thirds of our entire seasons sup
ply should be in the State by Scptem-
ber first.
The margins hereby established are
believed to be reasonable and fair to
consumers and coal dealers alike
Dealers may charge less, but cannot
collect more, than the maximum gross
margins allowed.
It is further ordered, that by the
twentieth day of April, 1918, all re-
tail coal dealers throughout the State
shall post up, and thereafter maintain
in their places of business, accessible
to their customers, the government
price of each kind of coal and coke
handled, the maximum gross margin
allowed, and the retail price The
Fuel Committee will enforce this or
der.
These margins and this order shall
take effect at 700 a. m., April 10th,
1l8, and shall continue in force until
otherwise ordered by the United
States Fuel Administrator; or until
modified by the Federal Fuel Admin
istrator for South Carolina. 1t is not
improbable that all retail gross mar
gins will be increased on September
first, and any increase allowed will
continue in force throughout the win
ter months.
Every application for a modification
of this order shall be made in writ

ANOTHER SHARP BREAK

Instances.
Al these new mnimums the notes,

seems TO be more than balanced. how

Russia
