Don't Blame
The Coal Dealer
It's not always his fault if your coal will not give
good results. Nine times out of ten you are burn
ing the wrong kind and size.
One size and kind of coal will not give good
satisfactory results under every condition. If the
kind you are now using does not burn as it should
the thing to do is to try another size.
We find people that no difference how many
times they move, why, they order the same kind
of coal and then expect it to burn in one house just
like it did where they lived before. It seldom does
burn the same
Let us advise you the kind to buy.

Mr. Fagan was in Altoona yesterday,

big hit all over the United States dur
ing the time that he was on the vaude
ville stage. Every time he had the op
portunity he would speak to boys on
the evils of liquor, booze of ail kinds,
tobacco and cigarets particularly. He
told the young women, too. that they
were responsible for some young men,
whom they allowed to smoke while ac
companying them.
While in Harrisburg "Noodles" spoke
•to the students of both the Tech and
Central High schools, and set many a

drink, tobacco anil bad companions.
His style of presenting a point in its

some of, the young folks who heard
him led 11 better life afterward.
It has been shown that Mr. Fagan.
with his experience on the stage, and
knowledge of life gained as a news
