RETURNING —Special Train will leave Girard Ave. (31st St.) 5.50 The Increased Cost of Anthracite is due to several causes First, the miners are getting more money than ever before. The recently G increased wages granted the men adds about 21c per ton to the cost of do mestic sizes of coal. Then the bills for Com pensation Insurance and the remarkable difference in the cost of all materials used at the coal mines, must be taken into con sideration. This adds about 18c per ton. In addition the Anth racite Operators have re duced the working time of the men from nine to eight hours a day. This change reduces by 1 per cent, the amount of labor expected for a cer tain sum and increases the wages of the men by a proportional amount. The coal dealer is not responsible for the in creased cost of coal. He is very fortunate to have 20c per ton left for him self after the large amount of work necessary to put a ton of coal into your cellar. United Ice & Coal Co. Forater ft Cowden Sts.

THIS CHEW AT FIRST TRIAL Wonderful Flavor of "American Navy" Has Never Been Equaled PUTS MORE JOY INTO CHEWING There's a wealth of wholesome com fort and satisfaction in a chew of good plug tobacco. It promotes digestion and coaxes the whole system into a state of healthful activity. Plug tobacco is the most natural form into which the rich leaf can be made. One clicw of American Navy plug is enough to get your O. K. Such rich, savory flavor you never tasted before— such sweet, juicy enjoyment you never found in any other chew. In "scrap" you get only part of the leaf—part of its richness—part of its sweet, mellow flavor. But American Navy plug is made of the uhole leaf, pressed close so that all its richness and sweetness is evenly distributed through every chew. American Navy is made of choice to bacco leaf selected with painstaking care for full juicy richness. And the factory in which this leaf is pressed into savory plugs is sweet and clean and sanitary.
