DIRECTOR-GENERAL
HINES ISSUED ORDER
Local Conditions Are to
Govern Action on Lift
ing the Coal Ban

Washington, d. G., Dec. l3.-The ma
tion found partial relief to-day from
the rigid restrictions on coal consump-
tion enforced through the railroad ad-
ministration as result of the fuel
dearth caused by the strike of soft coal
miners. Regional directors of railroads
over practically the entire country
have modified the restrictions by au-
thority Of Director General Hines, who
issued an order leaving the enforcement
of the regulations in their discretion.
Where local conditions permitted, the
directors after receiving the order re-
voked the restrictions on coal and gave
merchants an opportunity to reap the
harvest of the heavy Christmas trade.
Some anxiety had been felt among re-
tailers over the limitations of business
hours and were facing heavy losses by
enforced shutdowns
The order of the director general was
taken as an indication that the govern
ment regarded the strike as surely set
tied and that the soft coal would be
pouring from the mines at normal
rates.

At First Poliomyelitis Operation Clinic

have been offered for the use of polio

of health, and the children will remain
in these wards for two or three months,
that being the usual time following
hospital treatment after an operation
of this nature.
DIR. Ober brought with him his OPP
Grating room staff to assist in the
work, which went through without the
slightest hitch. DIR. John Norton of
Boston was DIR. Ober's chief Assistant
while DIR. Aycock OF the Vermont state
board Of health also assisted.
The operations included tendon
transportation, the relieving Of hip

from poliomyelitis Two Of the chill

able to walk, while one of the others
had not walked for several years. 1t is

better, when the cases are taken early
As a result, it is considered best, now
ever, to wait until about two years
after the disease has taken lis course,
in order to see how much improvement
can be made through natural means.
No charge was made for these oper-
ations, although some Of the parents
of the children are paying the hospital
bills, where they are able. Blu, no
child was refused an operation, where
it was needed on account OF lack Of
funds.

TAKES OUT FEDERAL LICENSE
Burlington Druggist May Sell Alcoholic
Beverages on Physicians Prescription.


Beverages on Physicians Prescription.
Burlington, Dec. 10 Whiskey gin,
brandy and all other kinds Of alcoholic
beverages are new sold legally in this
city, but under the strictest survel-
lance that they were ever handled
A. c. Booth, proprietor OF the Park
Drug store, has taken out a federal
license to handle alcoholic beverages for
the purpose of filling prescriptions, and
is the first druggist to do so in this part
of the country.
The whiskey and gin will sell for
$3.50 per quart, which is much higher
than former prices, but much less than
is being charged by bootlpggers. The
business is handled in about the same
way as are narcotics The goods are
purchased in New York City Of a fed
eral agency and are watched closely
for the sales must tally with the pre-.
scription blanks. Liquor can be sold
only on prescription, and on the blanks
which are furnished the physicians are
provided places for all the facts con
corning the case The limit to any
person is one quart, but less may be
prescribed
The blanks were sent out to the ply
sicians few days ago and already
many prescriptions have been filled.
People have driven in from miles away
and man came from Richmond after
brandy for his daughter, who is i'll with
pneumonia The physicians will have
to be sure of their facts in issuing pre-
scriptions, for the blanks are carefully
inspected and the government watches
the sale of liquor as carefully as it does
that of narcotics.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you can not find a
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance; an In
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots

What Is the Cause of
Backache?
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Baekache is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment from which women suf-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from it. Sometimes the cause is OBJ
scure, bat DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
a high medical authority, says the
cause is very often form of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When these
organs are infiamed, the first symp.
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, I'M
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain
full periods, irritation, headache and
a general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol OF opiate of any kind, for
Dr. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DR.. Pierce
saying it made them well. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause of
the trouble There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor
ite Prescription is intended to do.
