PROVIDENCE AIDS
 COAL CONSUMERS

Providence has come to the aid of coal consumers and has thwarted plans of Arkansas coal barons to extort a constantly increasing scale of un- reasonable prices for their product. The mild, balmy weather which has prevailed this fall was not anticipat- ed when a series of rapid increases sent the price of coal few weeks ago to unheard-of figures, nearly double the highest that had previously been demanded. With kindly sun furnish ing most of the heat necessary, the de- mand for coal has slackened to such an extent that the coal operators are now actually soliciting order and, marvellous to relate, have made a considerable cut in prices.
 For the past two months the muni- cipal light plant has had to pay $75O per ton, f. o. b. mines, for mine run coal and $5 or more for slack, as compared with $39O for mine run at the same time a year ago, and has found it difficult to obtain at all To- day Supt. E. V. Leverett was called over long distance telephone by mine operator who solicited an order and offered mine run coal at $6 per ton and slack coal at $4.
 The local plants coal bill for Oc- tober was nearly $2,500, Mir. Leverett said, more than $1, LOGO above any prev ious month It would have been neces sary, he stated, to increase the rate. for electricity if the cost of coal hao continued at such unprecedented fig ures, but he believes now that tho rates for lighting can be allowed tt : remain at the present level, although It may become necessary to raise tn, rates for power and for water. Tn, : prewar schedule of light and water rates is still in effect here.
 A reduction of $2 from $16 to S1l in the retail price of soft lump coa has also been announced by a loca dealer.

A Great Surprise.

Dear Uncle Jed: In the hunting sea- son of 1919 two boys were making prep
 arations for rabbit hunt As they were going to be away until about six o'clock in the evening, they took along a good supply of ammunition, a frisky little rabbit hound and a box of some thing to eat for dinner. They entered big gloomy forest
 which is noted for game of ali kinds. Their little dog started a big rabbit,
 both fired, and missed, and before they
 reloaded again both rabbit and dog were
 out of sight The boys sat down on
 log little disgusted at the eurn o6 af- fairs
 It being dinner time they ate their food with good appetite. Just as they finished their dinner they heard the bark ing of their dog and the growing of some animal. They both. seized their guns and ran over to the spot where they thought the dog and the rabbit were
 having fight.
 When they reached the spot they were very much surprised to see their dog fighting with a huge coon. Two shot. echoed and re-echoed through the gloomy forest, and the coon fell dead on the ground. After the coon was skinned and the dogs wounds attended to, tho | boys went home the heroes of the day. BENNIE STEINMAN, Age 12. Yantic.

 By Your Hair?

You may be 90 in years, but if you are bald d-headed, gray, or your hair is dry, brittle, scraggiy and ugly-looking, people will surely take you to be many years older "
 If you want good-looking hair, and plenty of it, the roots should be immedi- ately vitallzed and properly nourished. To do this quickly, safely and at little ex- pense, get from your druggist some Paris ian sage (iiquid form) for home use. A little attention now helps insure beautiful hair for years to come.
 Parisian sage is guaranteed to keep Naway all dandruff, stop scalp itch and faIltng hair and promote a new growth or money refunded. It's in great demand By women who always Took their best, ' because it makes the hair so soft, lns- trous, easy to arrange attractively and appear much heavier than it really is. A massage with Parisian sage is req delight-easy to use, not sticky. and daintily perfumed-an antiseptic, clean liquid that does not change the natura color of the hair. -i's F-
 Lee & osgood will supply you and guar. antee money refunded if you are not en- tirely satisfied
