Coal Market Conditions.

Anthracite-Th lesson Of last win

and the advice Of the United States
Fuel Administration has done much
to bring about a liberal placing of or

their next winters supply of coal.
This situation is helpful and IL per-
sistently kept up for the next few
tor in moving a maximum amount OF
coal during the spring and summer
months which is the only possible way
IN which relief can be secured for
next winter.
The heavy demand for anthracite
keeps up and that there will be a
permanent shortage in the supply as
long as the war continues is as GER
tain AS anything in this world can be,
This condition naturally falls hard
est upon the retail coal merchants as
it is up to them to supply the dolnes-
tic consumer who finds it hard to I'M
derstand why he is unable to get a
few tons of hard coal when he is
willing to order and pay for it near
ly a year in advance.
Anthracite production is being kept
up to the maximum, the tonnage for
April having broken all records but
it must be remem bered that there is
no hope of very much increase being
made in this respect the coming year
as the output has now reached just
about as large figures as it will be
possible to produce. s."

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN It
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when a youth
full appearance is Of the greatest ad-
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition OF
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" It 10 very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, 1t also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which Is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire more youthful appearance. II

ton or prevention OF disease.

PRICE OF BOOZE IS GIVEN
A BIG BOOST In ATLANTA
Moonshipers, Too, Are Reaping Their
Crops as Well as the Rye Deal
ers in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The war on IL
gers in Atlanta has advanced to the
point where the patrons are expert
encing difficulty in securing a supply
and are often having to do without,
regardless of their ability to pay the
price demanded.
All of which, too, has had a lament
able effect upon the price of booze.
1t does not seem so very long ago
when certain kindly, Hospitality in
clined gentlemen sold booze on the
streets and in the alleyways of the
city at three dollars quart. Then the
price began to rise.
For a long time it hung around six
or seven dollars a quart, but recent
ly it has risen to eight dollars a
quart, which is now the standard
price, although thirsty man often
is induced to pay ten, when he needs
it in a hurry and is not able to wait
for some friend to come along.
And the moonshiners are reaping
their crop now, as well as the rye
dealers. In many cases corn is selling
on a par with rye, and it is lucky
man who happens to have a friend
in the mountain section, or an ac-
quaintance who travels out of Allan
ia and comes in again every now and
then.

that would be appreciated in the

For dinner we had chicken salad,

to keep from "cussing" when | write
or talk about the boches. You read
accounts in the papers of things he

IN A BIG BATTLE.
France, July II, 1918.-We are at
last in the big battle, and I'm happy
to be in it. Where we were located
before was a Sunday school picnic
compared with where we are now.
Several nights ago we were enter
tanning the boys with our quartette.
We had quite an audience-Ameri-
cans, French, Italians, English, Russ,
Chinese and a few "niggers," also
some of the civil population. We sang
and sang everything from "The Star
Spangled Banner" to "Alexander's
Ragtime Band" then the "Marseil-
laise," which greatly pleased the
Frenchmen.
About 10 D. m. we turned in for
a good nights sleep. After we had
been in bed about half an hour we
heard an awful crash up on the front.
Words cannot describe the magnitude
of that crash. We all sat up, rubbed
