REaUESItIb= 7 IN COAL CRISIS
 3a wPE F%T HARD ING &Asks GOVERNORS OF
 .2a COAL STATES TO SAFE
 r> GUARD WORKERS. . LG GIE WILL PROTECT MINES E0 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE EXPLAINS
 FAILURE OF COAL STRIKE s2 CONFERENCE.

WashingtOn.-In the name of the common welfare, and the paramount need of the American people for the production and transportation of a fuel supply, President Harding, through telegrams, called upon the governors of twenty-eight coal states 10 furnish protection and safeguards to men and employers willing to resume work in the industry notwithstanding the mine workers strike. To the efforts of the states in this direction, he said, "the federal government pledges to you ev- cry assistance at its command"
 Behind the telegrams there lOOmed the definite indication of a government decision to obtain the resumption of transportation and mining, both ham, pered by labor walkOuts which high government officials consider inter- connected and associated.
 Replying to a question, Attorney General Daugherty said: Naturally there's a relationship between the rail- road and coal situations, whether in- spired or conspired, I am not saying"
 John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, de clared the Presidents message to the governors merely gesture which will not produce coal in any substantial quantity" and asserted that the mine workers strike would be continued.
 Before the telegrams had been dis patched, Samuel GOmpers, president of the American Federation of Labor, predicted in statement that Presi- dent Harding's invitation to the Oper- atOrs to resume operations would re- suit In no appreciable increase in pro- ductiOn. He added that when 500,000 men are aggrieved is a poor time in- deed for the roll of drums, the rattling of sabres and the pounding of the mailed fist"
 President Harding in his telegrams explained in detail the negotiations and conferences with union officers and mine operators and the offer of existing wage scales to the striking miners, all of which had ended, he said, in failure to reach a voluntary adjustment and left no recourse but to invite the mine operators to return to their mines and resume operations. For this last endeavor, he asked the assistance of the states.
 The telegrams went to the gover- nOrs of the following states:
 Governor Kilby, Alabama; McRae, Arkansas; ShOup, Colorado Hardwick, Georgia; Small, Illinois; McCray, In diana Kendall, Iowa; Allen, Kansas 1; Morrow, Kentucky: Ritchie, Mary land GrOesbeck, Michigan; Hyde, Mis- sOuri; Dixon, Montana; Mechem, New Mexico; Morrison, North Carolina i; NestOs, North Dakota; Davis, Ohio {; Robertson, Oklahoma; Olcott, Oregon :; SprOul, Pennsylvania; McMaster, South Dakota; Taylor, Tennessee i; Neff, Texas; Mabey, Utah; Trinkle, Virginia; Hart, Washington; Morgan West Virginia, and Carey, Wyoming.

Eat Hard Candy

Eat Hard Candy
Children, and grown-ups, too,
should o make eating of candy a
routine daily practice.
The child should be taught early
that candy day" comes only once
may expect a few pieces of pure
candy. which are to be eaten slowly,
after meals.
Then, too, the child should be en-
.couraged to eat hard candies in
preference to softer varieties. Pure
rock candy, and lime, lemon and
Ihoarhound lozenges are entirely
suitable for children as well as for
Srown-ups.
Such candies should be sucked,
and not crushed by the teeth.
II hard candies such as those
named are eaten. a small amount
Of candy solution is continuously
flowing into the stomach where it
lis readily handled.
On the other hand, if soft candies
are eaten, there Is a tendency TO
consume a much larger quantity,
with the result that the stomach is
%burdened with a larger quantity of
a much thicker sugar solution that
Is decidedly more difficult to take

We can save the bowel and the
stomach much extra labor If We eat

Those who will eat comparatively
large quantities of softer confec-
tons can assist in the digestion and
absorption of the candy solution by
drinking a lot of water after such
indulgence.
