Ideal Furnace Coal
When you force some fur
naces the hot bed runs to
gether, the glowing mass
clinkers and all kinds of
trouble result without your
getting any extra heat.
The best coal for the aver
age furnace is
Kelley's Hard Stove
It certainly gives good
service in extremely cold
weather when extra heat is
needed.
When used with a little
care it never clinkers and the
ashes are soft and flaky, sift
ing easily through the grate.

TAILORING TEAM
Hetrick is Hetrick and
Geistwhite is Geistwhite.
But "Hetrick & Geistwhite"
is a team. Team work al

than two men working in

A tailoring team puts more
merit into a suit of clothes
than a one-man shop. It

Additional Law
Judge fe. j. M. McCarrell yesterday
consented to pass on the question when
he allowed an appeal to be taken from
the alderman's summary conviction of
John Atticks, J. E. O'Donnell and L.
E. Wagner. Attorney J. Clarence Funk
is counsel for the three appellants.
The three are barbers.
The court is asked in the petition of
appeal to do more than define the ex
act meaning of the "blue laws"; the
real problem before it will be to define
the meaning of "work."
The tale of the three barbers has
been getting lots of notice In the pub
lic prints of late. It began when the
three began prosecutions against
Charles Williams, the Union Station
barber, for violating the "blue laws"
by keeping his place open Sundays.
Thrice did Williams appear at the al
derman's office and pay $4 fine and
costs. Then he tried reprisals. He
charged the three with also having
violated the "working" clause of the
"blue laws" by laboring themselves
Sunday in obtaining evidence. An al
derman thought likewise and fined the
three $4 fine and costs each. Hence
the appeals. j

DID NOT PROTECT
MEAT FOR PUBLIC
First Prosecution Under the
New Act Is Won by Stale
in Blair County
The first prosecution for a viola
tion of the State meat hygiene law
which was approved May 28, 1915, has
just been closed at Altoona where
John Snyder, a butcher and retail
meat dealer was fined $25 and costs
amounting: to $63.42.
Snyder was warned last summer by
an agent of the State Livestock Sani
tary Board of the Department of Ag
riculture to protect the meats on his
stand in the Altoona markethouse
against flies and the handling by un
authorized persons. At the time there
was an unusual number of typhoid
fever cases in that city and the heatth
authorities were making every effort
to prevent the spread of the disease.
Snyder refused to heed the warning and
was later arrested and held in bail for
court. At the court of quarter session
in Hollidaysburg he pleaded guilty and
after paying the line and costs prom
ised to abide by the law in the future.
Other cases in various parts of the
State will likely follow and warnings
are being sent to all meat dealers that
the meat hygiene law will be strictly
enforced.
