Cold weather has precipitated the
acute coal shortage in New York fore
cast by students Of the fuel situation
month ago, while an enormous ton
mage that might have been diverted to
relieve the crisis in this market still
was being sold for Canadian shirment
at premium prices.
The falling temperature also has
been seized upon by local dealers as
an excuse to advance the price of an
thracite, 1T was revealed yesterday by
Joseph NJ. Lonergan, chief sanitary in
spector Of the Health Department.
Within the last twenty four hours, he
said, the average price in Manhattan
has risen from S13.75 to STATS a ton,
while in Brooklyn and the Bronx it has
been increased to from SIT to $50 a
ton.
More serious than the rising prices,
however, is the inability of many
householders to obtain fuel at any cost.
By noon yesterday the Health Depart
ment had been deluged by 700 COM
plants Of insufficient heat and many
more that no coal was obtainable. DR..

found that people unable to get do

briquettes, fuel substance manufac.

entirely too small for satisfactory
household use"
Harry Z. Lewis, District Attorney of
Kings County, who has been active in
the crusade against coal profiteering,
said he had received numerous COM
plants of suffering for lack of fuel
In some reported instances, he said
illness has been aggravated by the
shortage.
John +. Birmingham, president of
the Delaware, LackawAnna and Western
Coal Company and chairman of an
emergency committee of operators or

hazing at the Military Academy, which
are, now in the hands of Secretary
Daniels, are understood to recommend
the dismissal of certain midshipmen,
with the alternative of standing trial
before a court martial.
For several days the middies have
been on good behavior, hoping to pre-
vent the rumor that none OF them is
to be allowed to go to New York for
the Army-Navy football game from be-
coming fact through some overt act
1t has been reported on the academy
grounds that Rear Admiral Scales was
considering this form of punishment.
Orders have already been posted that
only plebes will have liberty on
THANKSGIVING Day. Upper classmen
will be restricted to the academy
grounds.

Governor Richie of Maryland and

1t was recalled that the Daven-

to expend $4,000 to pay experts to
appraise the property Of the street
car company in Davenport, which
was said to be only a starter in

for the reason that the commission

would be no cost to the city.
r. L Grants Higher Rate.
Some years ago the city officials
of Rock Island granted the Peoples
Power company franchise which
is still on the books and which Of
fers a. much higher rate than the
company is allowed by the utilities
commission.
| This franchise would allow the
Peoples Power company to charge
20 cents per 1000 kilowatts for
electricity. which is equivalent to
one kilowat hour. and for which
the utilities commission allows the
company to charge but 81 cents.
This franchise also granted the
company the-right to charge $1.1E
per 1000 cubic feet OF gas. The
utilities commission had the com
pany down as low as 80 cents and
during the war granted 81 rate
while the city franchise would al

Dublin, Va.-Miss Mary Alice Hughett residing on Route 2, near here, recently told visitor of her interesting experience with Cardui. Miss Hughett said: T had been suf- fering for some time with painful |. I was pale, didn't feel like going. Would just drag around, and couldn't rest to do any good. l would suffer once a month with my back, sides and head. My limbs would ache and l didn't know what to do, but l knew l must do something, for didn't get we'll by letting 1t run on.
 My mother is a believer in CarduI for she saw what 1t did for others as we'll as herself, so she began giving 1t to me.
 "It wasn't long before I saw . change. It was just what I needed. It regulated mo. began to eat and sleep, and the pain stopped.
 "CardW is without doubt tho best female tonic made. and l am glad ] can recommend 1t to others"
 If suffering with symptoms such as Miss Hughett mentions, or other all. ments peculiar to women. why not be- gin Cardui at once? Its merit is well established by successful use for more than 40 years.
