ton Drag You Down
Hill.

Whether you earn your daily bread
by the sweat of your brow, by the
daily use of your muscle, or by tasks
requiring less physical exertion, you
need every ounce of strength that
you can command.
1t IS of utmost importance, there
fore, that you keep yourself in tip
top physical trim, and that you take
every precaution to safeguard your
health from the many pitfalls which
disease has spread so promiscuou~iy.
Keeping thoroughly we'll and strong

Why is it that your neighbor is al

while you find yourself succumbing
to ever the most commonplace little
ailments that tend to drag down your
vitality? 1t is true thai you are both
liable to the same attacks, but why
does he escape while you do not?
The answer can be found in the

The coal question is largely a trans
portation problem. said the Governor.
II would require operation Of our mines
At only So per cent of their capacity to
supply tho country. I am sure that the
price fixed by the government has had
nothing to DO with any reduced opera
tions in Indiana. Indiana operators. !
think. have been pretty well satisfied
With the price More cars an1 more
motive power are needed The sending
OF 5000 ngine to Russia and France

much to their motive equipment. BY
close cooperation tive our Public
Service Commission and%he railroads.
Indiana was able 10 speed up the car
situation, and think that Indiana
mines were better supplied with cars
than those Of most any other state"
The Governor expressed the rerrcr
that in this abnormal time cars should
not be supplied to the small. inefficient
mines which require much time for
loading. He would give all the cars 20
the efficiently operated miues which can
load a car within a few minutes and
send it OF its way. So long as there is
a shortage Of cars nothing is gained by
the operation OF small poorly equipped
mines. Wagon mines, he said. serve a
good purpose If they limit their opera
ton 10 their immediate territory or
nelghborhood.
