Give Mines Preference, Is Orders
From Commerce Commission
To Midwest Railroads.
EXTEND FORMER ORDER
Orders All Outstanding Permits For
Use of Coal Cars For Other Freight
Canceled-Domestic Needs Be-
Iieved Met by Arrangement.

INSTRUMENTATION to satisfy de-
mands for domestic coal in various
states was taken by the Interstate
Commerce comissiOn in an order re-
quiring railroads east of Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico,
to furnish coal cars to mines in pre-
ference to any other use.
The present order, the commits
sion said, would run until further no.
tice, but be relaxed as the situation
warranted.
The commission also, ordered all
outstanding permits for use of coal
cars for other freight cancelled, but
announced that arrangements to con-
tinue the movement of certain essen
tials, such as sugar beets to factory,
would be made.
Domestic Needs Satisfied.
Working in conjunction with coal
operators and railroads, program has
been formulated, the committee said,
which is expected substantially to
meet all domestic coal needs.
1t is planned to transport approx
mately 2,10O cars daily for this pur-
pose in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, East
ern Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee,
Western Pennsylvania and West Vir-
giania
Attention is also being given to
needs Of domestic consumers in other
states, the commission added.
Despite an increase in coal produc-
ton which up to September 25 exceed
ed that of last year by 51,00OG0O tons,
the commission said there has not
been a sufficient production of the
sizes of coal for domestic purposes to
satisfy all present demands"
Complaints have been received
from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and
other Western states" the commission
said, and added:
More Cars Needed.
"The increased production has been
consumed in large part by industries,
by railroads and other public utilities,
by the Northwest and by New England
and by expectation. 1t is imperative
that the production of coal be even
further increased To accomplish this,
it will be necessary to increase the car
supply for coal.
The existing order for preferential
: movement of 1000 cars of coal daily
for the Northwest was not changed.
Will Benefit Northwest.
The order of the Interstate Com
merce Commission directing that rail
roads West as well as East of the Mis-
sissippi river may use coal cars only
for Shipment of coal will facilitate fuel
movement iE the Northwest to meet
emergencies and will release a certain
proportion of cars now being used for
other purposes. railroad officials and
coal dealers of st. Paul said. The
Commission order was taken by sew
eral to be a part of the action prom
ised from the White House when an
appeal for relief from the Northwest
directly to the executive department
was dismissed with the explanation
that the commission would deal with
the situation.

To Remove First
Signs of Old Age

THE infallible first sign of age is the
sagging cheek muscles" says Mime. Cava-
lieri, whose fame as a beauty culturist is
scarcely less than that a songstress.
These are more difficult and serious to
treat than wrinkles she continues. THE
sagging muscles indicate they have grown
too weak to remain in place; they must
be assisted, strengthened"
The best way to strengthen them is by
bathing the face in simple lotion made
by dissolving an ounce of pure powdered
saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel
This creates a free circulation to the
parts, besides causing muscles and skin
to contract. Saxolite, procurable at every
drug store has long been known by COM
plexion specialists to possess remarkable
tonic and astringent properties. valuable
in treating <labby tissue and wrinkles-Adv.
