BLACK LIST ERRORS.

Mexico City, Feb. 1.-THE Ameri-
can black list has had something of
the effect of commercial tornado on
certain business houses in Mexico.
And, like the Kansas species of the
phenomenon. it has performed some
queer antics. For instance, a French
business man, with six relatives in
the trenches, figured on the first list.
Slips like this, however, have been
rectiffed readily through the various
legations at the capital.

STRATFORD
(Special to The Times. }

Stratford, Feb. 11-So acute has the
coal shortage become in this town,
with no immediate relief in sight, and
discouraged because of his inability
to procure any more anthracite coal,
First Selectman James Lally has pur-
chased two car loads of bitumlnous
coal which arrived here Saturday af-
ternoon and are now sidetracked near
the railroad station, guarded most
pzealously by policemen day and night,
his purchase of soft coal was the last
resort taken by Stratford's selectman.
He was unable any longer to with
stand the begging and the listening to
hundreds of telephone calls during the
day from persons residing in all sec
tons of the town saying that they
were without fuel and their homes
cold. He felt that the buying of
the soft fuel was the next best thing
to do in order that their home con-
ditions might be ameliorated.
The question now perplexing Select
man Lally is how he will able able to
dole out the bituminous coal in the
came quantities as he did the anthra-
cite. Soft coal is much lighter than
the hard and warning has been made
to all those who desire to buy, to bring
bags large enough to hold a 100
pounds allotment. No higher guam
titv than the above mentioned allot-
ment will be disposed of to any per-
son. The bags that Mr.. Lally owns
are not large enough to contain 100
pounds of the soft fuel. The dispos-
ing of the coal began this morning.
This is the first time since the out
break of the coal shortage over six
weeks ago that the town was so scant
of fuel. More than 500 orders have
been taken and not one of them fill
ed. All these desire a quarter of
ton. 1t was learned today from I'M
official sources that no more hard

The cars which arrived Saturday
are being very carefully watched by
Chief William B. Nichols during the
day and by Patrolman H. Briggs Bar
mum at night.

Mo. Valley, Iowa.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of July
9th. it is going to be absolutely
impossible for us to have your car
ready by Home Coming Week. We
appreciate the fact that you would
like to have your car by that time
but the Government has made a
very heavy demand for us for
fire cars for the protection of the
various environments, camps, ar
senals, nitrate plants, ETC., and
this has thrown us back on our
contemplated deliveries, and it
will be impossible to put your car
ahead. The chances are it will
run over the time called for in
the contract. According to the
contract it would be due for ship
ment the latter part of October,
and we certainly will be doing
we'll if we are able to make ship
menL at that time. We received
one order from the Government
for So fire cars and they are add
| ing to that number constantly.
The u. S. Inspector is located
fright here at the factory to see
that we put these cars ahead Of
everything else. We know that
you and all the other citizens of
Missouri Valley are patriotic and
understand the Importance of get
ting this apparatus out for the
protection of the Government
property and while we know it
will be a great disappointment
not to have your car for your
Home Gomink Week, still we al
so know that you will understand
why you can not have it by that
time. We appreciate the advertis-
ing feature it would afford us,
and if we could possibly get the
car out by that time we would do

The Blood and the Brain

Among the many important psyche
logical facts that should be as well
known by people generally as they
are by physicians, is the dependence
of the brain for it's proper action on
the vitality of the blood. If this is
impaired, the blood affords an imper-
feet stimulus to the brain, and, as a
necessary consequence, languor and
inactivity of the entire nervous system
follow, and a tendency to headache or
faintness makes its appearance.
1t is probable that no other medi-
cine ever produced has done more in
the way of revitalizing the blood max
ing it pure and rich, than Hoods Sar-
saparilla, which should certainly be
given trial where there is any reason
to believe that the blood is defective
in quality or deficient in quantity.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Remedy
for the Disease Has
Been Found

I Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by Fisher Bros. and all
druggists, gives quicker and more last
ing relief than other remedies costing
many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous
secretions into the bowels and kid
neys, from which they are quickly
thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma: II have made a
most careful investigation of the Tor
mula employed in the manufacture of
Rheuma, and | heartily recommend it
as a remedy for all forms Of rheuma-
tism. | find Rheuma far in advance
of the methods generally employed in
the treatment of rheumatism, and al
together different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed. -
DR.. M. c. Lyons.
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
