Buy Your Coal Direct
From Mine-Big Saving

The high cost of coal is thing of
the pasti At least there are no COM
plants on this account-since the re-
moval of government restrictions
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get it direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemens profits. It
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices whether a car
load buyer or one who uses only ten
or fifteen tons year This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by a large and old -estab-
lished concern, THE BERNICE COAL
COMPANY, with main offices at 445
Como Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of Gus
toners in various sections of the
United States who receive all of their
coal direct from the mines. These GUS
toners are pleased not only because
of the many dollars they save every
year, but also because of the quality
of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
1akes so little dust, that burns so
well, leaving so few ashes. If you are
a coal sser-whether you use hard or
soft coal, much or little-it will be
greatly to your advantage to write the
Bernice Coal Co. at once for prices,
stating kind and quantity of coal you
use,

new TASTELESS
CASTOR OIL IS
EASY TO TAKE
Strength and Purity Remain The
Same, But All Unpleasant
Taste Is Removed.

A remarkable process perfected by
the chemists of Spencer Kellogg &
Sons. Inc, has resulted in a great i'm
provement in castor oil, the reliable
old family remedy This new taste
less castor oil has the same strength
and purity as the old fashioned kind
Nothing has been removed but the
taste. Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil
is precisely what the name says-ab-
solutely tasteless. Think what this
means to mothers and their children
When the doctor says, "Give them
castor OIL" there need no longer be
any trouble. Children need never
know they are taking castor oil.
grown-ups will also appreciate the diff
ference between Kellogg's Tasteless
Castor Oil and the old fashioned kind.
Insist on Kellogg's if you want a
really tasteless castor oil. At all

Smith Manager Asks
Plans Of Committee

ATLANTA, May 81. R. Smith,
one of the campaign managers for
Senator Hoke Smith in the recent
presidential primary, has addressed a
letter to James ]. Flynt, chairman of
the Democratic state executive COM
mittee, requesting him to state the
purpose of the meeting of the sub
committee on rules to be held in At
lanta on May II.
This is the adjourned meeting call
ed by the subcommittee when it met
in Atlanta last Wednesday, and its
object is understood to be to hear
and decide the contests brought By
Hoke Smith and Thomas E. Watson
in several counties. Insofar as the
hearing of contests is concerned, Mr.
Smith makes no objection. But when
it comes to the deciding of contests
by the subcommittee, he notifies
Chairman Flynt that he does not rec
ognize their authority on that point.
He states in his letter that if the
purpose of the subcommittee is to
hear contests, consolidate the returns
and declare the result as the basis
for temporary roll of the conven-
ton of May 18, then he will submit
his contests. But he denies the au-
thority of the subcommittee to decide
any contests, or declare the result
of the primary, or seat any delegates
in the convention.

With Al Jennings and his brother,
Frank, the noted ex-bandits, playing
their own roles in a story which
really occurred during their pictur-
esque days of outlawry, "The Lady
of the Dug-Out," a feature photo
play scheduled for Friday of this
week at the Opera House is sure to
be one of the most talked of pictures
ever shown in this city.
1t is thrilling tale, it is said, full
of midnight rides to escape the DO
lice, bank robberies and other Incl
dents in the lives of outlaws, but it is
more than that. 1t is a human inter
est story, love story which will ap-
peal to all who see it. 1t is a revela-
tlon of the heart-ache which must
come to those who are outside the
law, heart-ache peaceful citizens
do not realize. 1t is a story which
shows that "hearts are hearts, the
wide world over" and that the out
law, the criminal, the bandit, is after
all sensitive and many times tender
hearted.
'The Lady of the Dug-Out" will
appeal to women as we'll as to men.
Beneath all the excitement there is
the quiet beauty of good deed. For
while the sheriff and his men sought
the Jennings brothers for the clever
est and coolest robbery they ever
saw, the two outlaws were aiding a
deserted, terrified girl-wife and her
little son. And they saw their self
appointed task through, too. They
didn't stop until they had taken the
woman and her boy back to her par
ents, in her old home. Then they
ride away, to play hide and seek
with their pursuers.
