weak and sickly.
A course in GUIDES Pepto- Mangan

strength. Taken regularly for q
while it adds red cells to the blood.
Then with good blood, the strength
and vigor of youth return. There is

COAL PRICES ARE NOT TO
BE LOWER, SAYS HOOPER

G, p. Hooper Of the Badger Lum-
Der Co. is Of the opinion that there
will not be any reduction in the price
Of coal for next winter. He is also
Of the opinion that the summer price
Of coal will not be as low as last
year. He bases his views on the fact
that the high freight rates went into
effect since last summer, which was
one Of the causes In advancing the
price Of coal and as a result this sum-
mer's lowest level cannot be as low
as last year. As to general decrease
In coal prices, he says 1t is impossi-
bic, due to the miners present wage
scale remaining in effect until next
April. He says that he sees no hope
for reduced prices.
