What Celebrated Medicine
Has Done for Them.

II is seldom, indeed, that men of
prominence, especially men holding
high public office, willingly express
their indebtedness publicly to pro-
prietary medicine. Many prominent
men, however, including supreme
court judges, mayors of our leading
cities, prominent state and county of
fcials, bankers, lawyers, doctors, edi-
tors, leading educators government of
ficials and even ministers of the Cos
pei have deemed it their duty to come
forward and tell the people what Tan
lac has done for them.
These well-known men Of affairs
have recognized in this medicine new
discovery and scientific triumph in
the medical world 1t is a well-known
fact that these splendid Endorsements
have been given Tanlac time and time
again, and they win continue to be
given Just as often as new tests of its
powers are made; and it also explains
why numbers of the big drug firms of
the country are ordering it exclusively

Sherman Stevens Claims 1903 Inches Of

Sherman Stevens, the weather proph-
ct of West Newbury, claims lO3 inches
of snow have fallen since Nov. | and
Feb. Is. We don't doubt this yarn, as
Sherman is good Republican, and the
opinion we have formed from his con
yersation is all the virtues humanity
is heir to are concentrated in that
party. even veracity; but we do take
exceptions to the report that on account
of the snow "Sherm" has TO crawl
out through his attic window and down
through the eupola of his barn when
he feeds his stock and that he has to
wrap sacking around his lightning rods
for fear of his calves getting impaled,
because there is no window in West
New bury big enough for him to crawl
through, and, furthermore, If we re-
member correctly, there is no cupola
or lightning rods on his buildings.

Ask Him Where
He Will Advertise

Mr.. Storekeeper, when the salesman
comes in and says, 1--WE are going to
advertise these goods" ask him where
his house is going to advertise.
Ask him if the goods are to be adver-
tised locally in the newspapers where
your customers will read about them.
There is one kind of advertising the
manufacturer can do for you that will
sell goods for you.
That is advertising in the newspapers
of your own city.
That is the only kind that will reach
all the prospective customers for the
goods and for your store.

DROP IS FORECAST
IN PRICES OF COAL
Department Of Justice Putting
New Life in Campaign Against
Profiteers.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Washington, Aug. % Forecast of a
tumble In coal prices was made by De
partment OF Justice off cials Yesterday
coincident with the announcement of ''re-
ncwed activity in the campaign against
coal prohteers. With production on the
increase, prediction was made TINT the
coal market would follow sugar prices in a
break in the near future.
Prices already have dropped at Balti-
more, where the Federal agents started
Tuesday to gather evidence against an
alleged combination of dealers who were
declared to have boosted prices through
repeated resales. A similar attack on
profiteers has been ordered Mt Hampton
Roads, one of the largest bunkerinp sta
tons on the eastern seaboard. Com
plants have come frequently from there
and from Baltimore, it was said.
Although interior points have reported
exorbitant coal prices in many instances,
1t was stated that the fragrant viola
tons OF the Lever law were confined
largely TO the Atlantic coast. The de-
partment Will press its Investigations at all
points, however, as part Of the program
outlined Monday when the Attorncv-
general instructed all United States at-
torneys to delve into the coal price
situation more deeply on the basis of in
formation that pyramiding of prices had
been accomplished through intertrade
sales.
The departments hands are tied AT

the United States attorneys from prose-
cutting protiteers under the Lever law.
which was held TO be unconstitutional bv
the court there. But the court will not
stay the gathering of evidence. according
to II. ,. Mitchell special assistant to the
attorney ey-general, who is directing the
campaign
MIR Mitchell believed public sentiment
had begun to react against coal profiteers
TO the extent that IL would force lowering
OF prices. The break in quotations at
baltimore, together with expected reduc-
uons Mt other points. was expected TO
mean real benefit to the consumer.
Federal Reserve Board officials re-
ported indications also of an impending
drop in the coal market. Their informa7
ton was that transportation conditions
with respect to coal had improved and a
peter distribution, therefore, was being
had. This of itself, in the opinion of De-
OF Justice officials should aid tho
prlce reduction movement. The Reserve
Board officials said the empty bins made

HIGH FREIGHT RATES
HOLD CITIES APART
Commercially Speaking. Chicago
Today is 2,l00 Miles From
New York.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 20 Chicago
Is more than twice as far from New York
as It WAS six years ago. More than that
every place In the United States is now
about twice as far from every other place
as II WAS in 1914"
These rather startling assertions are
made by Secretary Thompson OF the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress IN
statement released today. The stete-
ment goes on To say:
OF course, the number of miles between
New York and Chicago, or any other two
places Is the same now MS 1t always was
but miles are not the only things TO meas
ure by. We might use time, for instan' G,
and IT has been we'll said by an Eng iish
writer that 1t is not mileage, but cost OF
transportation, which constitutes the true
commercial measure of distance.
Geographically, Chicago is still LOCO
miles from New York, but, because of the
increases made in freight rates during
the past six wears, the city on Lake Michi-
aan l. now. commercially, 2,100 miles from
tidcwater, and every community In the
country has been pushed back until
II is twice as far away from the markets in
which il either buys its supplies or sells its
products as IL was in 1914.
The whole increase was not made at
oncc.-thc country never would have
stood for II If Il had been. First 1T was five
per cent in 1914; then fifteen per cent IN
1917, then twenty-five per cent, by Mr..
McAdoos order, in 1918; and now an
advance varying from twenty-five per
cent for the Southern and Mountain
Pacific gyoups to 40 per cent for the
Eastern group, and averaging according
o. AN estimate made by the Bureau OF
Railway Economies, 34.5S per cent Tor
the whole country.
stated IN another way, this means that
for every dollar paid to the railroads Tor
freight IN 1914 we must now pay two
dollars or more. Now il is Just as certain
as fate itself that every increase IN cost
transportation increases both the cost of
living and of dong business and decreases
the territory in which our products,
whether of farm or factory, can be sold.
But the most vital question today
X not whether we shall pay one price or
another for the transportation of our goods
hut whether we can get them carried at
all
"In Europe they use waterways as well
as railways. France, Belgium, Holland,
and Germany tas II was before the war;,
whose combined area Is only one-seventh
that of the United States, have %, 200
miles Of waterways, OF which they make
continually increasing use. The ton
mage Of goods transported on the water
ways Of Germany in 1905 was five times rs
much as was carried in lS75-and IT Is
more than coincidence that in every
ono OF the twenty years ending in 1913,
the foreign commerce of Germany, which
Is 5000 square miles smaller than the
state of Texas. exceeded that of the
United States by hundreds OF millions OF
dollars
why should not the $4,000 miles of
inland waterways in the United States
be made available for use?'

ALKALI IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very carefully if
YOU want 10 keep your hair looking its
hest Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sifed cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and greaseless), and is better than
ANYTHING else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls of Mulsifed viii
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water and rub
II in, II r.lakes an abundance of rich creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft. and
the hair fine and silky, bright lustrous
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get hulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it s very cheap,
and a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.
Besure your druggist gives you Null
