COAL TROTBLES.

We were all delighted when we heard that a preference had been given 70 New England in the matter of coal shipments.
 Tho big manufactures were not SO clated becauss many of them had con siderable on hand. We didn't.
 But 1t seems VIC were 6 bit prema- ture. We even began to clean out our bins making ready to fill them and bring peace of mind.
 Coal used by manufacturers. bitu- minous. came all right and they are not to he blamed for feeling rather satisfied. It is quite proper that they should get theirs.
 But where is the anthracite? None has arrived for weeks.
 Now it seems that the New York. New Haven X Hartford railroad placed an embargo on the sort of coal we burn in our home furnaces. They have shipped practically none into New England since the announcement of tho preference and long before. The railroad says that they cannot do 1t because all they can do is to keep shipping food here. and certainly the people need food ct this time of year rather than ccal,
 Moreover. the railroad offers no hope of lifting thIs embargo on an thracite coal soon. The operators write the dealers here that they have plenty of coal for us. but they can't get it to us. The dealers try to ex- plain to us the facts. but we point to tho order of preference and refuse to believe.
 Of course the small coal consum- CT needs food at the moment more than he needs coal.
 But how about the time when the cold weather comes and still there is no coal? We shall still need food. but then all over the country people will be needing coal-needing it to pre- vent sickness and death. to say noth- ing of the need of 1t to bring com fort.
 To supply the needs Of New Eng land coal must be begun to be shipped soon. The people can do little about it. The dealers can do little. The railroad must find a way to ship us coal gradually. If it cannot do better.

HEALTH QUESTIONS
Answered by Uncle Sam, NJ. D.

Answered by Uncle Sam, Nj. D.
Q. Last year at this time l had a
bad case of flu, and ever since |
have been troubled with catching
cold easily and chills. l have been
recommended to take zinc phosphide.
Is zinc phosphide any good for such
symptoms. Will you please give me
instructions how to use the yeast
treatment for skin diseases?
A. Unless zinc phosphide is pre-
scribed for you by a physician, you
should under no circumstances take
it. 1t is not harmless drug. More
over, judging from your inquiry re-
garding yeast, you appear to be in
clined to doctor yourself, merely on
the say-so of friends and acquaint-
ances. BY all means go to a physic-
ian at once and have him give your
chest thorough examination.
Q. viii you please give me full
information about a sore which nv
physician says is herpes? Is it con-
tagious. Is it durable? Does it
resemble syphilis?
A. Herpes is not contagious. 1t
is usually due to irritation from va
rious causes or accumulation of filth
and is durable. 1t is merely a local
trouble, not affecting the whole body,
as is the case with syphilitic infection.

BY UNCLE SAM. M. D.

(U. S. Public Health Service.)
TIME was when a suitable "spring
tonic," was considered the thing,
even by doctors. Every one in the
family was treated to course of sui
phur and molasses, sarsaparilla, sas-
safras tea, or some similar concoction,
in the belief that it would purify the
blood"
We know today that these things
are of no practical value, and that
there is no better tonic anywhere
than the fresh air of the most well
come season of the year. 1t will not
cure all ills, but it will certainly go a
long ways to help a cure.
All during the year the outdoor
life is one of the best tonics any ply
sician can recommend, but unfortu-
nately the severity of winter causes
the greater number of us to disregard
this advice. In the spring and sum-
mer there is no excuse.
Most of us cannot change the way
we live, but we all can certainly get
plenty of outdoor life at this season
of the year. Are you getting your
share?
To begin with, the windows in ev-
cry room you occupy, your home and
Office, may be opened without dis
comfort.
You can, perhaps, walk to the Office
and home again, or if the distance is
too great, walk part of the way and
then complete the trip by trolley.
For the person who cannot well
walk, golf offers very suitable and
beneficial outdoor exercise for both
men and women.
Healthful profit and pleasure can

be obtained by playing tennis.
The young folks need no urge to
adopt the outdoor life. They have
their corner-lot baseball, their jump
ropes and Fairgrounds.
People nearing middle-life how
ever, often do not appreciate, when
the muscles begin to get fiabby, that
their internal organs are usually in
the same shape and are not perform
ing properly. Far too many in mid
die life realize this too late and learn
then that no medicine known can re-
habilitate many of the vital organs.
But outdoor exercise, suited to the
individual, and attention to diet and
the digestive organs, will keep the
internal machinery of the body in as
good condition as the external part
and prevent many diseases.
Above all, it is well to remember,
particularly for those who work in
offices, that exercise is itself real
tonic. 1t stimulates the circulation
of the blood; it promotes digestion
and elimination of wastes; gives a
healthy appetite, and does just the
things that "spring tonic" is sup
posed to do.
Some of us possibly may need a
"spring cleaning" or better said, a
"spring overhauling." So it is a good
time to put into practice the very
desirable practice of having yourself
examined at least once year by a
reputable physician. Even if you be-
lieve yourself entirely well, this is a
good rule to adopt, and if you are
not, it is imperative.
This, however, is merely suggest
ed as an adjunct for the only remedy
that is still free-fresh air.
