TRUTHFUL REPORTS
HarrLsburs: Reads Them With Uncom
mon Interest
A Harrisburg citizen tells his ex
perience in the following statement. |
No better evidence than this can be
had. The truthful reports of friends!
and neighbors is the best proof in the j
w:orld. Read and be convinced:
F. Rotehorn. railroad conductor, 434 '
PelTet- street. Harrisburg .says: "I ant
subject to attapks of lumbago, more
HO when I take cold. I have been so
bad at times that when I made a quick
move or attempted to bend over I got
a sharp stitch in my back. A few
doses of Doan's Kidney Pills have
always relieved me of the misery after
everything else had failed to do me
any good. I have taken them off and
on for years and from my experience
1 know that they can't be beat."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy— get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Rotehorn had. Foster-Mllburn

HD COAL PROSE IS
IN MIS OF SENATE
Vare Putt in Resolution Proposed
by Governor to Investigate
Prices
A joint resolution calling for an
Investigation of the charges that op
erators of anthracite mines and re
tall dealers arbitrarily Increased the
price of hard coal 25 cents a ton be
cause of the hard coal tax of 1913,
which on the average did not levy
n tax of more than 5 cents a ton,
was introduced in the Senate last
nisht by Senator Vare, of Philadel
phia, at the instance of Governor
Brumbaugh.
Three investigators are to be- ap
pointed by the Governor and are to
report to him not later than January
1, 1916, and to make a further report
to hi mi and the Legislature In January,
1917. An appropriation of SIO,OOO is
carried, although the investigators are
to serve without pay.
The resolution calls attention to the
fact that the general charges made In
the newspapers that the price was in
creased has not been denied by the op
erators or dealers. The tax, which was
fixed at 2 per cent, on the value of
prepared coal, has not been paid, with
the exception of a few Instances, it is
pointed out.
The object of the investigation is to
determine if the alleged Increase in
price was done as a result of Illegal
combinations of operators and deul
ers or if such Increase was justifiable.
The investigators are to have power
to compel attendance of witnesses and
make them produce books, papers and
other evidence. If a witness refuses
to testify he is to appear before a Com
mon Pleas Judge, who will determine
if the question was a legal one. If
the wltnes then refuses to answer, the
commission may send hlni'to jail.
