A DISCOVERY THAT
Benefits MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for copdensing milk with
cane sugar to semi-liquid form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to a dry
poucder form with extract of matted
grains, sc1hosd cane sugar.
This product n0Ruck named
Matted milk. (Name since copied
by othcrs.) Its nntritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.

depots which are under construction

borers through the German civil offic-
ials. The men will be paid nine marks
per day with the privilege of rece1v-
Ing half this amount in food, If de-

cred in obtaining volunteer workmen

disturbances recently among civilians
employed under American supervis-
ion, General Dickman, commander OF
the American army of occupation, to-
day issued a warning against strikes.
This proclamation, which has been cir
culated throughout the occupied area,
says that all laborers voluntarily In
the service of employers engaged in
work for Americans, or working for
the army under requisition or other
wise, are forbidden to join in any
conspiracy or plan to attempt or carry
out any scheme to strike or abandon
work" it announces that any violation
of this order will be punished by
American military tribunals.

BALLOT
EXPECTED FOR
CHICAGO RACE
Bitterest Campaign in History
of City is Ended at Polls To-
day.
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, April l - Men and
women balloted for mayor and other
city officers today after campaign
said to have been the most bitter in
the history of the municipality. With
six candidates in the field for mayor,
partisan, religious and racial hatreds
famed high during the campaign
which ended last night with riotous
scenes in the central district which
extra police details had difficulty in
controlling at times. The candidates
for mayor are:
William Hale Thompson, (Rep) in
cumbent; Robert M. Sweitzer (DemD
county clerk; Maclay Hoyne Und.
Dem.) state attorney; John Fitzpat-
rick Uabor) president Chicago Fed
GRAFTON of Labor; John M. Collins
(Soc.); Adolph S. Carm (Soc Labor.
Each of the four leading candidates
claims his election today, although
political forecasters say they are at
a loss to make anything like credible
predictions. The vote of the inde-
pendents is generally conceded to be
the deciding factor in the balloting
and there is no means of knowing,
politicians say, to just which candi-
date it will go. The vote is expected
to be heavy, estimates being that
100000 of the $4,000 persons eligible
to vote will appear at the 2,215 elec-
tion precincts.
Wet Question Up
Extra precautions were taken by
Chief of Police Garrity, who said
every policeman in the city would be
in readiness to prevent possible out.

during the final stages of the cam.

Among the propositions appearing
on the little ballot" accompanying
the mayorality ballot is the proposition
shall Chicago become anti-saloon

This proposition was not allowed
on the ballot at the preceding election
and the "drys" brought suit against
the election officials which resulted
in a decision of the supreme court
several weeks ago that the proposition
should be submitted to the voters
In view of the government ruling soon
to become effective and the adoption
of the amendment to the constitution

NO SPRING DROP
IN COAL PRICES
HERE THIS YEAR
Consumers Who Held Off
Buying in Anticipation of
Slump Are Disappointed.

No drop in coal prices in Richmond
can be expected, nor is it probable IN
any part of Indiana, local coal dealers
explained today. Although some coal
users of this city may have held on
buying, expecting reduction in sell
ing prices they might just as we'll
forget this dream" to quote Rich
mond fuel merchant.
Since Pocahontas coal was zoned
out OF Indiana last year anj up until
the first of last February of this year.
by the government, Indianans used
practically nothing but Indiana coal,
which sold around $6.25 ton as it Is
now. Kentucky and West Virginia
Goals were zoned out last August
also. But with the opening of Feb
ruary, 1919, Eastern Goals were again
shipped into this zone and the people
can once more get West Virginia and
Kentucky coal, now selling at $3.50
ton, good Ohio bituminous at 81
ton, and Pocahontas at IS a ton
Anthracite for furnaces at S1175, and
for base burners at $12, has been on
the market during the last year but
has been very scarce.
"Prices are at war height and
they are going to stick" coal man
said today.
Soft Coal Most Popular.
without a doubt, soft coal is the
most popular fuel on the market to-
day." he continued. "a majority of
people, except base-burner users, are
burning soft coal A high grade In
diana coal, all lump and on the market
l., thn nnf h1rf q
noticeable number of people prefer
Pocahontas lump and egg, slow burn
ers, which do not SCOT. This is an
ideal coal for furnaces in the opinion
of the average furnace-man. A mine
run, two-thirds slack is selling for
$3.50.
mot so many mid-season orders
were received during the past social
ed winter" another dealer explained
today. For, as a matter CT fact, 1T
really wasn't winter, you know-just
a mixture of fall and spring. How
ever, a good deal of coal was sold be-
tween last spring for majority OF
people put in supply for the entire
winter early in the season. number
of people always buy in the spring or
early summer for the coming winter.
and at that time of year 1t is hard 10
foretell what kind of winter is COM
ing, so they protect themselves again
hard one"
Richmond persons who laid in heav-
ier supplies of coal than they needed
for last winter need not worry about
prices going down below what they
paid, they are assured by all local
dealers.

Number of Victims of Patrol
Bridge Collapse May Never
be Known.
(By Associated Pressl

BRISTOL, Pa, April 1.-Estimates
early today Of the number Of persons
drowned or killed in the collapse of a
lightly constructed patrol bridge 'front.'
ing the ship ways of the Merchant
Shipbuilding corporation at Hartman,
near here, during the launching Of a
freighter yesterday, ranged between
five and twenty. About score were
injured, none of them seriously.
After working throughout the night
divers had recovered but four bodies
and some officials expressed the be-
lief that not more than one or two
others had lost their lives. While
between fifteen and twenty persons
were known to- be missing, these offic-
ials said they felt confident that most
Of them would be located later in the
day. Others, however, fear that many.
If not all, of the missing were drown
ed and their bodies washed down
stream. Plant officials said it virtual
ly would be impossible to check up the
list of victims as the estimates of the
number on the bridge varied. The &C.
tual death toll, they added, may never
be known. 1t is believed that most OF
those drowned were employees at the
yard.
The bridge fell into the Delaware
river under the weight of between
fifty and seventy-five men five min.
rtes before the launching of the $500
ton cargo carrier Waukau. Members
of the launching party could not see
the accident from their position on
the land side of the ship ways, and
the vessel was launched on schedule
time After the Waukau slid into the
Delaware, men on the vessel and
workmen heard the cries of those who
had been pitched into the water and
rescue work was started Immediately
Suction from the launching of the car
go carrier, it is feared, may have car
ried some of the bodies out into the
channel
The accident, according to official:
Of the corporation, was due Ito over
crowding of the patrol bridge.
