Address Swift Spe iflc Co., 223-G Swift Laboratory, At lanta, C.a. GOVERNOR WOULD SAVE HARD COAL [Continued .from First Page.] feet of gas or 148,000,000 horse power is lost every twenty-four hours in the anthracite field. In ad dition it would provide other in •luttries when the anthracite coal.be gins to wane. Bring More Industries Control of the gas will not only bring more industrii s but lesseft ac cidents which are important in the view of the green men sent into mines to replace the skilled men who have gone to war and also en able greater production. The idea, said the Governor, was given him by William S. Thompklns, of Wilkes- Ba rre. The best way to see if the prob lem of utilization of the energy i*ow lost in mine gases cannot be worked cut is to have meetings and offer inducements for ideas, said Gov ernor Brumbaugh. The benefits, he said, would be great for industry, labor and the general welfare and prosperity of trfe hard coal region. In the course of his talk the Gov ernor declared that any man who disturbed the peace, now should be dealt with as a traitor. Let the thought and energy be turned to solving this problem of utilization. Mine Caves As to the mine cave problem, tho Governor said that he hoped it could be worked out and that he regretted that nothing to help the situation had come o him from the Legisla ture. Co-operation Pledged H. A. Hubler, of the Scranton Board of Trade, pledged support to the movement, and said he would arrange a meeting. He remarked that one of the first things to do would be to find out who owns the gas. Mr. Thompkins said that he felt that in Wilkes-Barre there could be wells drilled easily and the gas used to generate steam power. Speedy Action Askeil Governor Brumbaugh closed the meeting by asking speedy action and commended the interest manifested. After he left the conference a meeting was held under* chairman ship of Mr. Thompklns with Mr. Hu bler as secretary, and it was decided to go back and recommend to the various organizations that the sub ject be taken up. Another Meeting Several speakers made the sugges tion that each chamber ask for ideas from people in its district and then have them assembled for study. Mr. Thompkins said the Governor would send each man a letter and arrange ments could be made for, another meeting at Scranton, Wilkes-Barre OK Pottsvllle to discuss the subject in detail. H. C. Davis, of Kingston, said he wanted more information about what to do. "I understand we are to go back and ask ideas, but this thing has been well talked over. It has been discussed for years and I don't think it has been settled as practicable. The Governor has told us all he knows, but we do not know much more." The motion to have each man in terest people in his town was car ried and then on motion of Mr. Hubler the meeting formed an or ganization with Mr. Thompkins as chairman and J. H. Lahm, Hazle ton. as secretary. In addition to the mine gas matter which we will have to take up with the owners as well as our organization you may have the mine cave problem to deal with. It's our problem now. It may be yours to-morrow. We think we are on a fair way to settle it. It is well to have an organization. The next meeting may be held at Scranton. The bulk of the men pres ent said they anticipated some lively discussions at home. CONSUMERS ARE WORST SPECULATORS [Continued from First Page.] Sugar and salt are the principal commodities in demand and the wholesalers would like to know who started the, crazy report that there would be_no more salt in a short time. "Abso.utely the only trouble with the salt supply "snapped one wor ried wholesaler is the labor and car shortage. There's plenty of salt in this laid. We get the most from New York state and Michigan nnd these states are going up in smoke. It is perfectly astonishing what a wild newspaper yarn can do. In the last two weeks customers have been buying a bushel of salt at a time rather than the usual two or five pound sack. It was the same with flour when it went up to $lB a barrel. 'Let her rip, now,' you hear dozens exclaim. 'l'm fixed anyhotV; I have bought two barrels of flour.' People Responsible "When the papers came' out to say that Germany produced 45 per cent, of the world's sugar I called on a big- refiner down in Philadel phia and saw one order for 142,000 barrels. When that was known the market went up like a skyrocket. That's what happens every time. The people themselves are responsible. "Point is there is plenty of money in the country at the present time. Clerks and laborers and mechanics have had raises in salary and they are spending the-surplus. The gov ernment requisitions, it is true, are heavy, but not burdensome. Hun dreds of telephone calls come in here each day from frightened citi zens: "Is it true that there won't be any more sugar and salt?" It is ridiculous. Let the people buy moderately as is their custom i nd they will make the job easier for the government." "The food administrator is doing everything possible to hold things down and adjust affairs. Only re cently they forbade the combination sales in stores whereby they would sell sugar* only on condition that several dollars worth of other goads were purchased. Trie single excep tion is that of sugar and cornmeal, this for the reason that wheat is to be conserved and the use of corn meal encouraged." Speaking of conservation, among the number of restaurant men clam oring for supplies, one told how he was making pie crust in his Market street restaurant out of rye flour and cornmeal. This proprietor has inaugurated the Wednesday meat less day and this week he only had one kick. True, meat was so ex cluded that the chef did not even use meat in the soup. The com plainer was a U. S. Army sergeant and because he kicked at there not being any meat on the bill of fare his. superior officer \yas notified and what he tolcl the meat eating ser geant will be quoted a long time along Market* street. RIVERSIDE PROPERTY TO BE ASSESSED 00,000 City Assessor James C. Thompson stated to-day the total assessment of all property ln the Fourteenth ward, recently annexed to the city, will probably be about $900,000. This in cludes the property of the Harrlsburg Academy and several churches.

ASK COURT TO THROW OUT SOLDIER VOTE [Continued from First Page.] course would be not to contest the computation but the election. He stat ed to Mr. Stranahan that the court was merely acting now as a comput ing board and had no authority to, rule on any legal questions such ns had been raised but could pass on them if the election was contested. Must Be Tabulated Mr. Stranahan told the court he had no objection to the soldiers vot ing, but did object to the application of the law in this'respect as he did not believe the court could compute a vote for which there *ls no legal basis. He called attention to the im portance of deciding the question as it will have a bearing on the election next year. Judge Kunkel. however, said that as a computing board the court was bound to count any vote if taken and returned by the -proper persons at least under color of law. "The only question which seems to be raised now is .whether a vote taken in polling places outside the state is legal. The candidates had every opportunity to act to prevent taking the soldier vote. It seems that all of them took the chance, and now those who are defeated are raising objections. If proceedings had been started in any district in the state it would have stopped the whole thing. Instead all the candidates seemed willing to take the chance. It is a lit tle late now to raise objections. The law doesn't favor one who sits by letting an opportunity pass and then brings an objection at the end. Action could have been taken to restrain the appointment of commissioners. High er authorities interpreted the act and proceded under it and now objec tions are raised here." In ease the soldier vote should not be included it is believed the official vote for the city and the county may change the returns for coroner as verified, but unofficial returns give Dr. Hartman a slight majority over Jacob Eckinger, the Republican can didate. Democrats also hope to cut into C. W. Burtnett's lead of John K. Royal in the city council light. Delay Object ions When court convened this after noon, Mr. Stranahan said that he un derstood the court to be sitting as a computing body and that he would file no objections at this time. The court then proceeded to open and to commute the soldier vote.

How to Get Rid of Serious Rheumatic Troubles So They Don't Come Back Told by The all-conquering little Welsh boxer, world's champion at his weight, and now a physical instructor in the army, tells some valuable training camp secrets. Says liver ( and kidney disorders are also easy to correct. § "Since joining the army I have often been asked to explain the the tra.ining meth ods which kept me always in such absolutely perfect physical trim that 1 was able to win live Consecutive world's champion ship contests dur ing one year. , "My doctor once told me that liver and kidney troubles, stomach acidity, indigestion and dys pepsia, catarrh, backache, neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciatica, mental or physical lanquor, etc., all arise simply fro.n the accumulation of impurities in the system. No one can doubt the truth ofthls, hnd it is equally obvious that the one sure and only way to get rid of tiie complaints quickly and thoroughly is to clear the impurities out. To do this you must stimulate and entirely cleanse the organs of ni tration and elimination, thus imme diately purifying the blood and pre venting the absorption of further poisons. The self-poisoning process is the direct cause of many serious ali ments. Auto-intoxication, the doctors 13 AMERICAN IN CASUALTY LIST By Associated Press Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 23.
