Confusion regarding the period dur
ing which the list of preferred use Is
effective was reported in some quar-
tiers today 1t was stated at the fuel
administration that section one of DIR
Garneld's regulation establishes the
order of preference in the distribution
OF coal
This order remains in effect until IL
is rescinded by Dr. Garfield
BY this order, even after the five
day closing has been concluded the
system of priorities now in effect
may continue until the work of clear
ing away congestion is completed.
Industries which had been under sus-
pension during the five day period
may resume operation if they have
coal on hand. Those that haven't,
stand small chance of getting fuel
at this time.
Congress passed into its third day
as a depository for Geographic and
written complaints from back
home
The corridors and cloak rooms and
even the chambers themselves still
ring sharply with criticism of the
Garfield order. But the situation has
reached the point now where the
legislators are looking to the future
for hope of venting their wrath on
measures which may be presented

Fallen African Metropolis.

What are now known as the Zim-
babwe ruins was the center of trade
and worship for a South African ma
ton. The fortress guarding the city
in its almost inaccessible position was
once enclrcled by wall of stone over
IL feet thick resting on a rocky cliff
foundation. From lockout towers on
the wall the guards could scan the
country for miles around and hurl
stones and other weapons down upon
any hostile force. Beyond the wreck
ed fortress stands the shell OF the tenn
pie, sacred to the worship of Baal,
whence came the Oracles and words
Of guidance for the people. Between
the remains of fortress and temple lie
what is known today as the Valley of
Ruins, a maze Of walls In all stages
of dilapidntiOn.
Only birds and snakes inhabit this
fallen metropolis, but out beyond the
old city the mines from which the ma
ton derived its wealth are being work
ed by the most modern methods,

Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At
Stomach Troubles

II. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered a sure,
safe, Quick-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can cat anything you like now
and digest 1t in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured If you eat
an EAToNIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment 1t enters the stom-
ach. It Immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
ables the food TO pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel In a sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the forma-
ton Of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause a bloated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your

The following is an article which APP
peared recently in RED Cross Clip
pings" and will be Of special interest
to trained nurses who are considering
the matter of offering their services to
the Red Cross:
Miss Jane A. Delano, director Of
the bureau of nursing of the American
Red Cross, points out to nurses the un-
usual opportunities offered by the in
surance law, enacted for the protection
of our army and navy. The provisions
of the insurance bill apply equally to
nurses assigned to duty as members of
the army and navy nurse colps, and
make 1t possible for the nurse to Sc
cure, at nominal rates, protection for
herself as well as for designated men,
bers of her family dependent upon
her.
IA great responsibility rests upon
the nurses of the country continues
Miss DelanO. They are the only group
of women recognized as part Of the
military establishment. While thou
sands and thousands of nurses will be
needed, the number is relatively small
compared with the number of women
in America who should stand back of
them and make possible the service for
which they are so greatly needed at
this time.
''The nurses who share In the hard
ships, the dangers and the privations
incident to war should be looked upon
as the representatives of the woman
hood of America at the front, and
these women who stand ready to sac
rifice all, even their lives If necessary,
should receive the sympathy, the sup
port and the interest of the millions of
women whose husbands, brothers and
sons are fighting for the safety of the
country. Not only should the women
of the country encourage nurses who
have this blessed opportunity for serv-
ice to volunteer promptly, but they
should make every effort possible to
protect the nurses holding themselves
ready for service and share with them
the responsibility and sacrifices neces-
sary.
"'A special appeal Is made there
fore to the nurses Of America to vol
unteer at once through their nearest
local committee on Red Cross nursing
service, through the director of the bu-

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when
they fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One Of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
eolored urine; loss OF appetite; indiges-
ton: irritation. or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady. Bright's disease. for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in.
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules. and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney. bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned uD and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug. store, and
if it does not give you almost immediate
relief. your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. In boxes, three

There is almost q dlstracting va
riety in sweaters and sweater-coats to
choose from this season. And along
with them sleeveless satin and velvet
sports coats have entered the race for
consideration, and sleeveless coats of
silk jersey. All of which goes to
prove that a sweater, or sports coat
or both-are Indispensable In the
wardrobe of today and that one can
afford to think twice and then think
again before making final choice
among them.
Where not much In the way Of
warmth is really wanted of the sweat
er and It is worn more for smart style
than anything else, the new short,
hand-knitted, slip-Overs are apt to
win approval. They are made Of
heavy zephyrs, in gay colors and knit
ed on large needles. Turquoise blue
and rose pink are favorites for them
and one sees an occasional jade green.
Nearly all of them have white knit
ed collars. II is left to the individ-
ual to decide for or against sleeves
and If the sleeves win, then white
knitted cuffs are theirs by right.
These sweaters f1t the figure some
what closely and are worn with white
kid belts. They are much shorter
than the sweater and sweater-coat
shown In the picture. extending only
eight to ten inches below the waist
line.

sailor collar, deep cuffs and short
girdle all knitted. but In a coarser

Poet Invented stereoseope.

How many of us really know that
the tereoscOpe-largely used for mag
nifying photographs of distant places
was the invention of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the American poet and phil
Osopher. There had been in use a
crude form of stereoscope, consisting
of box with hinged lid on the upper
side which was opened to admit light
on the photograph. Doctor Holmes
dispensed with the box, substituting the
eye shades still used and cut Sits in
the projecting board in order that the
photograph might be correctly focused
Then he stuck an awl In the bottom,
for handle, and the stereoscope was
complete. Doctor Holmes found the
alteration such an improvement that
he offered his invention free to several
firms. All refused it, however, except
Joseph Bates Of Philadelphia, who de-
cided to make dozen or two and see
If they would sell. The preliminary
lot was soon multiplied by thousands.
An employee of this firm originated
the movable slide in which the pictures
are now placed, thus improving upon
the series of slots devised by Doctor
Holmes. When the stereoscOpe became
a great success, 1t was suggested to
Doctor Holmes that if he had patented
and sold his invention he might have
made more out Of it than from litera-
ture. He replied: II do not care to be
known as the patentee of pill or a
peeping contrivance."-People's Home
