COAL SITUATION
is VERY SERIOUS.

According to the daily papers the
entire country is in the grip of a
serious coal famine brought on by
the strike Of soft coal miners.
In Kansas the governor has taken
over the mines and called for vol
unters to dig coal. Many have re-
sponded and they are now turning
out some coal.
Louisville is suffering for lack OF
fuel to run her industries, many of
which ase either shut down or op-
Grating on short time basis. The
fuel regulations are very stringent
retail stores and offices only being
allowed to remain open from nine
till four and not permitted to display
any electric signs at all. No factory
can run more than AS hours each
week no matter how much fuel they
have on hand.
In many sections of the country
schools are having to close for want
OF fuel. Chicago industries are hit
very hard. The Northwest has not
enough coal to last them two weeks
and are feeling the shortage very
keenly.
Locally we are promised enough
coal by the administration to pre-
vent actual suffering if the orders
OF the administration are obeyed.
j. A. Hughes is in charge of the sit
uation here. Marion will probably
be without light until the emergency
is past after the present supply of
coal is exhausted.
The miners are very obdurate and
are unwilling to 60 back to work
for IA per cent increase in wages.
There is considerable suspicion that
they are tied up in some sort of a
secret pact with the operators-to
give them as excuse to boost the
price Of coal.

CALOMEL ROBBED
OF NAUSEA and
SALVATION N

The latest triumph of modern
pharmacy is the new nausealess
calomel known to the drug trade as
"Calotabs." Calomel, the most gen.
orally useful Of all medicines thus
enters upon a wider field Of popula-
rity-purified and refined from those
Objectionable qualities which have
heretofore limited its use.
In biliousness, constipation, head
ache, and indigestion, and in a great
variety of liver, stomach and kid
ney troubles calomel was the only
successful remedy but its use was
often neglected on account of its
sickening qualities. Now it is the
easiest and most pleasant of all
medicines to take. One Calotab on
the tongue at bedtime, with a swal-
low of water, that's all. No salts,
no gripping, no nausea, no danger OF
salvation. A good nights sleep and
the next morning you are feeling
fine, with a clean liver and big
appetite. Eat what you please.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist offers to refund
the price as a guarantee that you
will be throughly delighted with
Calotabs.-(adv.)

With something over a dozen
homes offered to one stray waif be-

places aboard or find special passen-
