COUNCIL PROBES
COAL SOLD At
MUNICIPAL Yard
Tests Ordered to Determine It
Ignite is Being Sold at
the High Prices
Reported.

The much-advertised municipa!
coal yard is not only unnecessary,
\ but is really putting ajax upon poor
people by selling them an inferior
quality Of coal at comparatively
J high price, in the opinion of num-
Der Of the city commissioners.
The city council has adopted a
resolution directing the city chem
list 10 secure samples of the coal be-
ing sold at the municipal coalNyard
for test and report its fuel value.
The resolution was introduced by
Commissioner Ure and FIVE commits
sioners voted for it. Commissioner
Butler and Mayor Smith were abb
sent.
& Duty to People.
1T is our duty to the people to
make this investigation" said Mr..
IRE. 1--WE have no objection to run
{ hing a municipal coal yard If the
people can be served thereby. But
we have decided objection to get
ting poor people to buy an inferior
quality of coal which has decidedly
small heat value. There is all the
differencetin the world between var
ious kinds OF coal and the people
should know what they are paying
for when they buy ton of munich
pal coal. 1t is simply a matter of
justice to the people to lay the facts
before them"
The coal offered for sale this year
is Ignite. coal, mined at Freder-
lick, Colo, by the Rocky Mountain
Fuel company. Now, Ignite coal
is extremely heavy in moisture.
About one-fourth Of Its weight is
moisture. Bulletin No. 81 United
States bureau OF mines, says: One
ton OF western Ignite, when dry,
/. equals from four tenths to seven
Nenths of a ton of eastern bitumin-
Gus coal,
The government report makes no
mention of the Frederick, Colo,
mine, but gives an analysis Of mine
located about one-sixth OF a mile
from there. This report shows that
the Ignite coal mined there con-
tains from 23.s to 24.5 per cent
moisture.
False Claims Alleged.
According to newspaper reports,
Butler states that the coal offered
by the municipal coal yard at $97s
a ton is equal to the coal sold by
dealers at $l2.1s a ton" said local
coal man. This is utterly absurd.
The coal we are selling is bitumi-
nous coal from Koutt county, Col
orado, probably the highest grade
bituminous coal in the United
States. 1t contains only 4 to 9 per
cent moisture.
THE great amount Of moisture in
Ignite coal means not only that the
buyer pays for one-fourth of ton
of water in each ton of coal. but
also that this moisture decreases the
heat value of the coal. When a
shovelful is thrown on the fire the
moisture must first be turned to
steam and driven off. That requires
a certain amount of heat to be az
pended before the coal can start CIV
ing off heat to warm the house"
II is also pointed out that last
year Butler used the city's trucks
and drivers in delivering coal, the
expense Of doing this being paid, of
course, by the taxpayers.

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces Of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will needy ,
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig

Grip, or influenza as 1T is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness
and sometimes nausea and dizziness,
and6 general feeling of weakness
and depression. The temperature is
from 100 to 104, and the fever
usually lasts from three to five
days. The germs attack the mucous

sages-nose, throat and bronchial
tubes-thefe is usually hard
cough, especially bad at night,
often times a sore throat or tonsi-
litis, and frequently all the appear

THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative, eat plenty of
-nourishing food, remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry. Nature
herself is the only "cure"xor in
fluenza and will throw off the at
tack if only you conserve your
strength. A little Quinine, Aspirin
or Dover's Powders may be given by
the physicians directions to allay
the aching. Always call a doctor,
since the chief danger Of. grip is in
its weakening effect on the system,

that announcement by the United

abiding people of Siberia will result
in reaction against Germany in
Russia.
1t is predicted by officials who

The news of the assassination OF

is manifestly evidence that strong
Russian interests are seeking to cre'
ate state of terrorism which will
