COSTLY SAVING

Chicago, February 16-That 3,456.90l tons of coal were saved in the United States during the eight "fuelless days under the recent order of Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield, but at a cost tc industry of $2s9.S5 for every ton saved was the estimate made today by "Black Diamond" trade publication The total loss during this period in wages and manufactured products was placed at more than $1,000,000,000.
 A table prepared by w. P. Manss industrial agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railway, was also given which valued the fuel saved under the order in IS of the larger cities of the coun- try at s137,377,5ss. The loss in wages and manufactured products in these cities was put at s4.s44,070.000.
 It is pointed out that these figures prepared by Mir Manss for Director General McAdoo are considerably high CT than those prepared by the Black Diamond experts and the publication gives them because they are consid cred official, while at the same time criticizing their accuracy. In this re- gard the publication says
 The average mine price on coal to- day is s2.45 per ton. If it is consid- cred that the coal was bought at that price at the mines, MT. Manss' figures ould have meant 56,072,4s5 tons saw ing or something like IT times the amount we estimate.
 ''As matter of fact, the consump- tion of steam coal for eight days, if the plants had been running full and if they consumed 720.000 tons a d14, would have been only 5,760,000 tons Therefore his estimate of saving is about o times the normal consufnp tion of coal in the eight-day period.'

G|RLS! BEAUT|FY YOUR HAIR AND STOP DANDRUFF Hair becomes charming, wavy, lustrous and thick in
 few moments. Every bit of dandruff disap- pears and hair stops
 coming out.

For few cents you can save your hair. In less than ten minutes you can double it's beauty. Your hair becomes light. wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap- pears as soft, lustrous and charming as young girls after applying some Danderine. Also try this-mo oisten a cloth with a little Danderine and care- fully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust. dirt or excess sive oil, and in just few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Be- sides beautffying the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and fall ing hair, but what will please you most will be- after a few weeks use, when you see new hair--fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair grow ing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair. and lots of 1t, surely get a small bottle of Knowlton's Dan derine from any drug store or toilet counter and just try it.--Adv.

Rr tha A.socIated Press

London. February 1S.-Gen. Sir Will liam Robertson, chief of the British imperial staff, has resigned. it was of- aciaIIy announced this evening. Gen ernI Wilson. subcbief of staff, takes the vacated place.
 General Robertson was unable, the statement says. to accept position as military representative on the su- preme war council at Versailles or to continue as chief of the imperial gem eraI staff with limited power.
 The official announcement of the change says:
 "Ihe extension of the functions of the permanent military representative decided on by the supreme war coun- cil at their last meeting at Versailles has necessitated the limitation of the special powers hitherto exercised by the chief of the imperial general staff by virtue of the order in council of January 2T, 1916.

of the drop and the middle of Jan nary the bottom. Had this decline been permitted to continue our most essen tial war industries inevitably would have been closed down, but not in an orderly fashion. Cooperation demands tho share of losses as well as gains. It is noteworthy that the upward trend was resumed for the week beginning January 2s.
 "The fuel administration, believing in the democratic ideal, asked not that some but that all participate in the sacrifice necessary to save us from cur own prosperity and the American sririt arose and asserted itself. There was no crushing of tho weak In a great scramble. but all stopped except the few appointed to absolutely nec- essary work.

try and in great European Medical In stitutions, says: AS I have said a hundred times over, organic iron IS the greatest of all strength builders. II people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, in- stead of dosing themselves with habit forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages am convinced that there are 4thonsands who might readily build up their red blood corpuscles. their physi- cal energy and get themselves into a condition to ward off the millions of disease J germs that are almost con tinually around us
 Ut is surprising how many people suffer from iron deficiency and do not know 1t.
 Iron is absolutely necessary to en- able your blood to change food into liv- ing tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat. your food merely passes through you without doing you good. You don't get the strength out of it. and as a consequence you become weak. pale and sickly looking, just like plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe 1t to yourself to make the fol- lowing test: See how long you can work Or how far you can walk without be- coming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three
 times per day after meals for two weeks Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, rundown peo- pie; who were ailing all the while increase their strength and endurance in from ten to fourteen days time while
