Sick headache, biliousness, coated

trace this to torpid liver; delayed,

Poisonous matter clogged in the in

the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges-
ton and that dull, throbbing, sickening
headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and poi

WINTER MILDNESS
CAUSE OF A DROP
IN PRICES OF COAL
Reduction of Thirty Cents a
Ton, Effective al Once;
No Change at Mines

A slight reduction in the price of
anthracite coal was announced by
local dealers this morning, effective
at once. At the same time it was
predicted that the customary reduc-
ton of fifty cents u ton, usually
scheduled for April J., will not take
place this spring.
The reduction announced to- day
amounts to about thirty cents a ton
on household sizes, a dealer said.
with the exact amount varying
slightly, according to the size or
kind of coal in question. The price
will be figured by the dealers on the
operating margin of S2.65, allowed
by the Dauphin county fuel admins
tration by one of it's rulings made
last year.
Mild Winter Cause
The open winter and lack of de-
mand for coal made the reduction
possible. The fact, also, that inde-
pendent operators who under gov
ernment fuel administration control
were allowed 10 charge 70 cents u
ton additional for their coal, over
what the transportation company
coal operators were allowed to
charge, no longer have that advan-
tage.
There has been no change in the
price of coal at the mines. The
small reduction effected to-day is
