The Civic association has been re-

ested party in the establishment of a

ployed on Automobile row" The COM

Don't Burn and Blister
Your Skin With Lini-
ments and Plasters
Trying to Cure Your Rheu-
matte Aches and Pains

Whenever you suffer from an attack of
rheumatism, your muscles and joints ache
and hurt, it's but natural to try to stop the
pain. Such relief, however. is only tempo
rary and sooner or later the aches and agony
return even worse than before because the
poisons are all the time accommodating in the
blood.
The necessary treatment is to remove the
real cause of the aches and pains-cleanse
the blood of those impurities which multiply
unless the proper treatment is applied.
Do this before another attack. before your
joints swell and you lose the use of the
parts affected. Get yourself bottle of the
well-known Piough's Prescription C-222S and
a package of 1928 Liver Pills. Take one pill
at bedtime; the following morning begin the
Liquid Plough's Prescription C-2223 treat
ment, taking teaspoonful doses three times a
day in half glass of water. Wear suitable
clothing. do not expose yourself in damp
weather and abstain from the use OF red
meats and pastry.
Many medical authorities agree that there
are very few drugs which have any value

nd those named are used in the preparation

COST OF LIVING NOW AT THE PEAK

Washington, D. c., December 3-The attitude of
the government in the situation brought about by the
refusal of the miners to return to work and the duty
OF the public in this emergency are clearly defined in
the following telegram which Attorney General Pal
mer has sent to the Chamber of Commerce of Mo-
berly, Mo-:
'The cost of living is at the high point To
grant the demands of the miners would make the cost
Of living still higher. The wage conference would
run three winters and. therefore, would maintain a
higher cost Of living for substantially three years
Such situation cannot be tolerated.
"In addition to this, DR.. Garfield suggested con-
sultative body to investigate more completely the
whole situation to be composed of representatives in
equal number Of the miners and operators and to be
presided over by the Secretary of the Interior Such
body would investigate, among other things, the
profits Of the operators If these should be found to
be unreasonably high the public should receive the
benefit in decreased price of COAL after the miners
have had their wages finally adjusted on fair basis.
understand this plan is acceptable to the operators
If the miners return to work and agree to this plan
way would be Immediately open for permanent settle
ment.
'1n the meantime, however, the operators have
posted the advance in wages proposed by DR.. Gar
field that working miners will Immediately receive
the benefit of this increase. The production of coal
now closely approximates so per cent of normal and
have confidence that sufficient number of miners
will comply with the wishes of their government and
respond to the needs of the people to increase this pro-
ductlOn in the near future to point which will supply
the demand if economy and conservation in industry
are employed.
The situation calls for the steadfast support by the
