The grocers of the city will meet the local and divisional Food Administra- tors in a price fixing conference at the offices of Divisional Administrator Carl J. Lomen on Thursday evening at 7:3O. Prices will be set on all food commodities at present under ad- ministrative control and a general price schedule will probably be adopt ed. based on local trade conditions. In this connection it is interesting to note that the governments efforts at price fixing have been productive of a decrease in the price of -four \ recent Food Administration bulletin points out that the wholesale price of flour at Minneapolis one year ago was $16.75 barrel whereas the price in the same market is today S9.SO per barrel The price margin be- tween farmers wheat and the flour made from it also shows q consider able decrease. The difference one year ago was $5.GS; today it is ca cts.

The statement of Mr. Thomas Pow CTS of Unalakleet that a vein of excel lent Ignite coal was recently discover ed in the Cnalaklect district has at tracted wide attention owing to the prospect that the coal might be avail able for the local market at prices far below those demanded for the import ed article. Several local parties are said to be considering an investigation of the deposit with q view to placing It on sale here if proper arrangements can be made. Mr. Powers states that Traeger, the St Michael trader and storckccper used a considerable quan- tity of the coal and found il very satis- factory in every way. The fuel IS said to burn with a clear flame and does not clinker. The ash Is clear and white. Owing to being located on a small bluff within a few yards of deep water the coal can be mined and loaded directly into the hold of a schooner or barge. Mir. Powers ex- presses the view that the coal could be dollars a ton, or perhaps less. With imported coal retailing at thirty dol lars or more, the Unalalleet deposit appears we'll worth investigation.

Des Moines, Iowa. October 9TH.
The department on tuberculosis OF
the board of control is much arous-
ed over the prevalence. of Spanish
influenza and it's bearing on pull
monary troubles. The relation which
Spanish influenza bears on the
tuberculosis situation is much closer
than at first imagined. This cpl
demic is respiratory difficulty and
the state department feels it is i'm
portant to re-emphasiZe the necessity
of open air sleeping. With winter
coming on, it is evident that large
numbers Of people will close their
sleeping rooms and otherwise shut
themselves in.
The onset of Spanish influenza is
similar to old fashioned grippe and
DR.. A. e. Kepford, state lecturer on
tuberculosis, is urging upon the peo-
pie the value of fresh air in COM
batting its onset.
Dr. Guilford Sumner of the state
department of health is also urging
great precaution in the prevention
Of this disease. He reminds the peO-
pie that fresh air is imperative.
The department on tuberculosis
advises that public school buildings
and other places of resort be thor
oughly ventilated and that the air
be kept pure and moist. Also that
children shall be prohibited from
crowding motion picture houses and
other assemblages favorable to the
spread of this disease. Let every
body cooperate to mitigate the
danger Of this influenza epidemic by
establishing these preventive meas
ures.

Many of the brave women who attend
our wounded heroes in this war are
women who have used Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, or who recon-
mend it. The hospital, with its work
and long hours, imposes extreme hard
ship on woman's strength. Every
woman should make herself fit for wars
call at home or abroad. She should
obtain book called the " medical
Adviser" either at her nearest drug
store or by sending SO one-cent stamps
to Invalids' Hotel and Surgical 1nsti-
tute, Buffalo, N. Y, for book which
tells about Nursing, Bandaging, Anat-
omy, Physiology, the Marriage Relation,
knowledge of Sex.
Thousands of women in the United
States have overcome their sufferings,
and have been cured of woman's ills, by
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. So
too, for liver and bowel troubles,
nothing is so effective or pleasant as
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Sioux CITY, OwA.-vFor the young

Pierce's Favorite Prescription is Won
derful tonic and builder. When l was
sixteen years old l used to suffer in

me of my pains and built me up into

Hundreds of other business men received
similar calls from Colonel Conley," and
gave his secretary" checks ranging from
$25 10 $1,000. The regiments benefit was
given, but was not so successful as it
might have been
few weeks later Broker Donovan's
cancelled checks were returned to him
from his bank. He remembered the colonel
had not notified him of the results of the
benefit, and he was interested to know
low his old regiment was getting along.
He telephoned Colonel Conley.
The Colonel was very disappointed. so
few of the old members had contributed
as he thought they would Colonel Conley
said. We'll, | am glad l was not one of
those" replied the broker. 81 hope my
thousand dollar check helped some"
The colonel was astonished. He had re-
ceived no thousand dollar check from the
broker. He had not even solicited such
contribution.
The broker looked at the Endorsement
on the cancelled check before him. 1t car
ried two, one purporting to be that of
Colonel Conley and the other that of
saloon where, evidently, it had been
Cashed.
Then the District Attorney began his in
vestigations
First the hundred per cent boys" were
unearthed-eX-convicts, pickpOckets and
confidence men, who had hired themselves
out to the promoters of such benefits as
that given by the regiment. as collectors
of donations. In almost every instance the
officials arranging these affairs had no eX-
perience in the art of persuading the pub
lie to contribute to their worthy causes.
They were imposed upon by the crooks
who told them the customary thing was
for collectors to be hired and paid per-
centage of what they received. These
crooks usually kept all they received, more
than $1,000 900, according to the District
Attorneys records Nearly all of them are
in the penitentiary now. Saloons, cigar
stores, gambling houses and questionable
hotels helped them cash checks through
forgery.
When this scheme had been stopped the
District Attorney turned his attention to
the many fashionable women in uniforms
nurses costumes and otherwise disting-
uished, who conducted war charity funds
of their own, for purposes ranging from
the establishment of hospitals in France
