NOTICE TO COAL
PURCHASERS

Notice has been given several
times through the newspapers to have
coal bins ready to receive coal which
has been ordered, and to be prepared
to pay for the coal when it is de-
livered.
Coal is now being received and de-
livered and much trouble is being ex-
perienced and much unnecessary time
lost by reason Of many who have
ordered coal not being prepared to
receive their coal when it arrived.
1t is almost impossible to get labor
to handle coal at the present time
and unless full cooperation is given
between consumer and dealer to pre-
vent this wastage of time and labor
it will become necessary for the
dealers to sell coal at their bins and
require the consumer to be RESPONSE
BILE for the delivery of same to their
houses.
If you have a woodpile in the way
or the coal bin filled with boxes,
boards or other material, get it out
of the way so that when the coal is
delivered it may be unloaded without
any loss of time. This must posi-
lively be. done or you may have to
suffer from the cold this winter.
The fuel dealers are expected to
receive their winters supply of fuel
during the next two months and if
this is to be done it is necessary that
the consumer make room for it in
his bins without delay.
With regard to the payment Of the
coal there is this to be remembered :
The Fuel Administration has fixed the
price of coal at the dealers bins and
at your bins and it has been fixed on
the basis of a cash price. Therefore,
it must be cash. If you wish to know
just what your coal will cost call up
the office of the dealer with whom
you have placed your order and you
will be told just how much money
you will need to pay your coal bill.
And "cash" does not mean tomor-
row or the day after. 1t means when
the coal is delivered at the house or
at the office before delivery.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In It before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto-intoxication- which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller ar
teries and veins of the head produc-
ing violent, throbbing pain and dis
tress, called headache. You become
nervous, respondent, sick, feverish
and miserable, your meals sour and
almost nauseate you. Then you re-
sort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bro
mides which temporarily relieve but
do not rid the blood of these irritat-
ing toxins.
A glass of hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, drank before breakfast for awhile,
will not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you of head
ache but will cleanse, purify and
freshen the entire ali1Aentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is
inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and
almost tasteless, except for sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.

Listened 10 nenarkdpc TTeu'Se'oH'
loaned to them, but they will be so
grateful that they will early begin to
repay the debt.
President Wilson will again have
been reelected to another term in the
White House and, aided by Taft,
Roosevelt and Hughes, will have put
through congress a universal training
law by which every man above eight.
cen years of age, up to forty-five, will
have to take military training.
The patient was Edward r. Dean,
sou of the late DR.. Julian Willis Dean,
himself distinguished Washington
physician, who died in 1905. Young
Dean was stricken as child with Sc
we're spinal meningitis, and the father
rredicted that from sixteen to twenty
one years Of age the boy would be
subject to commissions. If his health
was able to resist the strain until the
twenty-first year the young man
would become strong and robust, with
keen mental development.
In Care of Specialist.
The commissions came on at sixteen
and have continued, despite special
medical treatment. Recently the
young man was taken to Johns Hop
kins college, where the best medical
talent carefully watched his condi-
ton and marveled at the super
natural utterances Of the patient when
in an unconscious state after con.
vulsion. Under their recommendation
young Dean was brought back to this
city and put under the care Of DR.. D,
Percy Hickling, a noted specialist In
brain and nervous disorders.
Accompanied by member of his
family the young man was on his way
to Doctor Hickling's Office when at.
tackled by the nervous disorder that
troubles him. He was promptly taken
to Emergency hospital and given tenn
porary treatment. Following the con-
vulsion he remained in an unconscious
state for two hours, during which, in
the most beautiful language imagin'
able, he talked wonderfully on subjects
presumably far removed from the
thoughts Of a boy Of that age under
normal conditions.
Physicians and nurses, amazed al
the language and predictions, stood at
his bedside without asking questions
or prompting him in any way. They
had never seen or heard Of similar
case.
The patient not only made the pre-
dictions quoted going into details, but
talked f1uentfy In German, Italian and
Latin. He never studied or read any
of these languages, being compelled to
leave school when in the eighth grade.
When again in normal mind young
Dean remembered nothing Of what he
had said, and the subjects seemed to
be far from his thoughts.

WHERE ARE WE GoING2

Among the songs the soldier boys are reported as
singing when they are ON the march in France
titled: "Where Do We Go From Here2"
There is spirit in the inquiry thus iocuarly express
ed There is pahos, too in the inquiry for many of the
boys will mot come back" We wonder sometimes what
those boys would think of the in which some of the
citizens of America are backing them up
What would the boys cover there think of the Lbe-
y Loan Stacker who refuses to buy bonds because he has
been compelled to pay income taxesl Where should such
citizen be placed! What kind of man is he2 Where
should he go from herei
1t is generally believed that Ontario has a number of
men among It's citizenship who took the position in the
Third Liberty Loan that they had done their share by pay
ing income taxes They not listed among the bond
buyers of that issue, and that gives color the statement
Where did they get the money upon which they had
to pay income taXcs Did they not make it directly as
the result of the war; Of course they did
What wool worth before the war; Not more than
~ cents and when demands sent wool to 80 was
not every cent of the rise between 20 and 30 due the war;
due to the shedding of soldiers blood2 The nations at war
needed wool for their soldiers, the demand increased the
price and the wool men rightly enough reaped their profits
but since they did profit from the war; il nothing but
Justice demanded that they pay income taxes But that
does not measure their full responsibility.
The fact that large of money was earned tol
compel the payment of income taxes is prma aca evil
dencc of ability and that equivalent to Obligation buy
Liberty Bonds This must be financed by those whOI
have ability tO do II they do not they merely increase
the obligation of their less fortunate fellow citizens
What the mere payment of ncome taxes compared
with the price that millions of paying when they
lay down their lives.
One of the many comments that are made concerning
such cases is that the who take this position have no
fighting in France. They evidently expect other
nep sons to do their fighting and other men, too pa,
the bills while they lie back and take the profits and self
ghtcously think they have done their duty by paying
taxes
The time has come for u show down Such men shoud
