COAL HAULERS
ARE OPPOSING
ANY INCREASE
Claim Margin of Profit for Long
Days Work Already at the
Minimum.

Transfers and truck drivers en-
gagged in hauling coal from Coal
Valley mines are said to be pro-
testing vigorously against an in
crease in the price they are now
paying. The Sackville company is
reported to have announced an ad-
ton, effective Tuesday.
The men are now paying 81 and
are delivering the product to GUS
toners in the tri-cities at an aver
age price of $3.50. The ordinary
team or truck hauls- three tons.
The present margin is barely suf-
ficient to recOmpense the teamsters
for their work and expense involv-
ed. it is claimed. They say that
they are against passing the in
crease on to the consumer. People
need the coal but in most in
stances cannot pay any more, they
assert.
There are about one hundred
fifty teams and trucks engaged
daily in transporting the coal. The
trip to and from the mines is %
miles. This fact, together with the
time consumed in getting a load,
makes it imperative for the driver
to start for the mines at 4 o'clock,
and even earlier, each morning.
Need Double Teams.
The margin of $3.50 d load now
enjoyed has to cover the cost of
the drivers time, and in addition
pay for the team. This latter item
has been added to since Fifteenth
street, Moline, was closed for re-
pairs. The teams have to choose
either the Seventh street or Tween
ty-seventh street roads, both OF
which are so steep as to require
iouble teams in making the grade.

In Medicine Chest
To relieve chronic constipation, always
keep bottle Of DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin handy.

NEARLY all people as they advance
~ in age suffer from chronic constipa-
ton. Many, however, arc indifferent TO
the laxative they use, on the theory that
they are all alike" That is n great
mistake.
DR. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin, for ex-
ample, is q mild, gentle liquid laxative.
and il does not lose its effect with re-
peated use II so trains the bowel
muscles that in time medicines of all
kinds can be dispensed with.
A sixty-cent bottle of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will last many months.
The prescription was written thirty
years ago by DR. w b Caldwell, we'll
known family doctor, who is himself
now in his SIND year and can ap-
preciate what chronic constipation
must mean to elderly people; how it
brings on headaches. colds, loss of np-
petite and sleep, heaviness and a
general dull feeling
Every home that has an elderly man
or woman should be provided with
bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup pepsin.
Eight million bottles were bought at
drug stores last year II is a truly
