Kansas Youth is Held in Denver
 for Fur Thefts

Smith Center, Kan, Feb. 27.-The daily and mysterious disappearance of valuable furs from leading firm in Denver, Colo, has been cleared up by the arrest of Robert Durrett, IT, year-old son of B. H. Durrett, resi- dent of this county. For two weeks the thefts entirely baffled the Den yer police, and it was not until off cers. were thrown about the building at closing time that the young man was caught.
 He was arrested as he stopped to pick up valuable fur that he had thrown a few moments before from the stockroom into an alley. He broke down at once and confessed his guilt. The amount of his pilfer- ings in three weeks, the time he was employed by the firm, figure up S9,- 900. A fair of furs that disappeared one evening were valued at $3,500.
 In his confession he said that it was his practice to be among the last to leave the stockroom where he was employed, and as he did so he would toss through the window d valuable fur he had spotted during the day. He would then go out the front way and back into the alley to pick up his booty.
 Some of the furs, he said, had been sold to Denver furriers, and others shipped to relatives and furriers in Kansas City. His youthful appear ance fooled the officers until they caught him with his loot. He had been sent by his father to Denver tc attend a business college there.

Coal Strike Peril
 Again is Seen in
 the Western States

Chicago, Feb. 2T.-Black Diamond coal trade journal, in leading edi- torial says:
 Many surface indications fore cast a general strike April 1 in both anthracite and bituminous fields. It is significant that as soon as coal operators of the central competitive district completed their case last week. President Lewis of the United Mine Workers hurried into morgan ized smokeless fields of West Vir- ginia. More than one nation wide strike has been prevented by these n-shop mines. Lewis feels it ab- solutely necessary to fight for the closed shop in both West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and the time is very promising for success. Smoke less operators have been indulgent with their men, who derive more benefits than union miners in com petitive fields, and many consider it better to change their policy and join in with the central competitive district and let the union handle the labor problems. If Lewis succeeds in his campaign to unionize these fields the nation may just as we'll set tie down to consideration of the in- evitable general, paralysis of indus try for an indefinite period"
 Regarding coal trade conditions Black Diamond says:
 "Production in the coal fields of the United States felt the car short age with added intensity the last week In many instances mines were not able to operate more than two l xxyitb fhocn fyyn AovS the car supply did not permit full day operation.
 Inability of the railroad admins tration to cope with the situation grows more clearly apparent each day. Demand for all grades of coal in strong in the East So strong is the demand in the East that little anthracite or smokeless finds its way into western markets. Gas coal IS sought in vain by those who lack contracts, and everywhere free coal is as scarce as can be. Demand for export, which has been strong ever since the end of the strike, goes un- answered in the main, because ot continued embargoes and confisca- tions of this class of coal. Railroads do not hesitate to seize coal at mines, even before it is put into transportation. Coal year draws to end with stocks low in the hands o1 both retailers and steam users.
 Mild weather has much to dc with the slump in domestic demand for bituminous. Cancellation orders came in from retailers in Chicago and adjacent territory.
 "Points beyond Chicago which de bend upon Illinois and Indiana mines for their supplies show more active domestic demand. This seems in keeping with the condition of the country generally.
 "Steam coal demand has beer
 brisk for several weeks. Buyers art
 skirmishing the market for free coal and would pay premiums for it il f it could be found and the shippers
 were not held down by government prices" :"

ITCHING, BURNING SKIN DISEASES

Authorities are now of the opinion that many forms of eczema and eruptive skin diseases are caused by Eumors in the blood. This state of the blood may be due to irregular habits, improper action of the liver, kidneys, stomach or some contracted blood disease. Internal treatment that goes directly to the root of the trouble-acts upon or purifies the blood--is the most dependable means of getting real relief
 Such treatment is Prescription C2223, reliable blood purifier. This splendid medicine preparation was used for years by successful phy- sician in his private practice. It pro- duced such satisfactory resules for his patients and has since relieved so many thousands that it's possible that 1t will give you relief.
 If you are now suffering the tor lures of burning, itching eczema, or any eruptive skin disease, and all other medicine and doctors have fail ed, go to your druggist and get $1.50 bottle of Prescription C-2223 If two bottles do not give you suf- ficient benefit to justify your con- IlHulHS the treatment, take the emp ties back to the same druggist and get the S3.00 that you paid for the prescription.
 While taking Prescription C-2223, the bowels should act regularly, to help throw off the poisons which are causing your trouble. There is nothing better than 2223 Liver Pills. They have certain tonic effects and do not sicken or gripe. One is dose.
 If your druggist will not supply you with Prescription C-2223 and 223 Liver Pills, both will be sent you postpaid on receipt of S1.75. Sup pose you write the 2223 Laboratory, Memphis, Tenn, 132 South Second street, for literature, 1920 Almanac and sample of the pills.
