8 SEES NO REASON FOR INCREASE IN PRICE OF COAL JFederal Trades Commission Warns Anthracite Dealers Costs Are Known By Ass . ialed Press Washington. >Urch 13.—The Feder al Trade Commission to-day notified th® country's leading anthracite coal producers that any failure to grant the n3ual spring reductions cannot be justified by claims of Increased cost of production. The commission has heard, the notice says, that producers Intend either to withdraw or reduce the regular seasonal discounts on the ground of increased mining costs. In Its inquiry Into the cost of min ing anthracite, the report on which soon will be Issued, the commission has obtained detailed information on the costs of companies which mined In 1916 about 75 per cent, of the total production of anthracite. "This in formation," says the commission, "ob tained directly from the records of the companies referred to. Indicates 'no Increase in average cost in the last four months of 1916, and further In dicates an actual decrease of cost In the case of some of tho companies whose cost production Is high. Should Grant Discount "Judging from the tonnage produc ed in January, 1917, there Is no rea son to believe that costs thus far In 1917 would materially change the av erage shown by the figures complied from September to December, 1916. Therefore, it is the opinion of the commission, that further Increases In circular prices this spring by failure to grant the customary discounts could not be Justified on the basis of In creased cost. "The commission makes this state ment In advance of Its forthcoming report, because it is a matter of vital Interest to the public that no unjusti fiable increase in price be made. "This statement does not refer to tho increases in circular prices of all anthracite in May, 1916, nor to the panio prices which have prevailed on part of the tonnage this fall and win ter, concerning which the commission will make a report in the near future. The cost data already compiled by the commission, however, are conclus ive against further price Increases this spring." WITHDRAW EXCEPTION'S Exceptions to the charges of David E. Kecfe, superintendent of construc tion of the Camptown bridge, Brad ford county, were withdrawn in Dau phin couny court this morning by Rodney A. Mercur, Bradford county solicitor. WHAT TO DO WHEN HAIR GROWS THIN Give the Hair Root Nourishment and Stop Spread of Duldnens Thousands of men and women are Krowing bald every day and don't know the reason why. This is indeed a pity because baldness usually conies from carelessness and anyone who gives the hair just a little attention should have an abundance of good healthy hair. Dandruff and dirt help to cause bald ness by clogging the pores in the scalp and giving the dandruff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding. The treatment is very simple; remove the dirt by shampooing and destroy the dandruff germs by frequently ap plying a little of the real Parisian Sage (liquid form) a most efficient prepar ation that the best druggists every where are now recommending as one of the quickest and safest treatments to surely stop itching scalp and fall ing hair, remove all dandruff and to properly nourish and invigorate the hair roots. Parisian Sage is also the discrimin ating woman's favorite hair dressing because it gives her hair a softness and luster that fascinates and compels ad miration.
