10 ALL THE NEWS OF STEELTON AND SUBURBS RESIDENTS NOW BURNING WOOD JUnable to Get Coal People Make a Bun on Its Substitute With hundreds of coal orders on Jile and no coal in the yards dealers to-day faced the worst situation eince the shortage started. Unable to secure coal and their supplies completely exhausted peo ple are buying wood. At the office Of Detweiler Brothers this morning Jt was announced that in less than two days a car load of wood was dis posed of. A car is now on hand and if the demand increases any this Bupply will be exhausted in the next twelve hours. Coal dealers were unanimous in their opinions about the future sup ply. They said they have been promised coal before the close of the week but they will not be certain about the supply until it arrives. Many were pessimistic this morning about getting any coal on account of the snow storm which ties up the railroad traffic considerably. Every dealer reported that he has no coal in store and that several hundred orders are on file. Detweiler Brothers refuse to take a larger Order than a half ton. Appeals have been made to Chair man E. C. Henderson of the high way committee of council to use his influence in assisting them to get coal. Mr. Henderson reports that I these people are badly in need of fuel i and some preparations must be made at once to get coal to them. Resinol stops the itching!

How Weak, Delicate Thin Folks May Get Strong and Sturdy ADVICE OF A SOl'TlIEftN nOCTOR There are three fundamental causes foi weakness, thinness, delicate con stitution, and a run-down condition, says Dr. Boudousquie, the well-known New Orleans physician-author, who has traveled and studied extensively in France. Italy and Austria. First, depleted nerve substance; second, lack of red blood corpuscles, and third, the poisonous toxins in the system tearing down the flesh and strength. Most per sons do not get enough nerve-making red blood building, tissue manufac turing and anti-toxic elements out of the ordinary cooked foods of to-day. What theK need is a substance like blood-iron-salts, which has all these essential ingredients. Let those who suffer take blood-iron-salts after meals for a while, and you will soon •-ee many of their old troubles disap pear. The weak, thin, delicate folks often become strong and sturdy when drugs, oils, exercise and other methods fail. NOTE —The dose is two 5-grain tab lets after meals, but where only strength and endurance are desired, and not added flesh and weight, only one tablet should be taken. Blood iron Salts is dispensed in this city by Geo. A. Gorgas. C. M. Forney and all good druggists.—Advertisement. t > H.I reason of fborcuich ril.trlliu liitn itlMi the <lrujt trade in the Lulled Slate* anal lower aeltlns roam, rfdui'fd prlcea are mm poa alble for Eckman's Alterative FOR THROAT AND LUNGS Stubborn Cougba and Colda No Alcohol, Narcotic or Habit forming Drug $2 Size $l size Now $1.50 Now 80 Ota.

MARY RUSSELL'S HEART IS RIGHT [Continued from Mrst Page.] there was Just as much snow in Har risburg streets and on Harrisburg walks as there Is in Llnglestown; and she walked through it all day long. Messenger boys and messenger girls do not retire on a competency after two or three months' work. A trip from the Postal office to Nine teenth and Market does not permit them to pay their bills and throw the balace in a barrel. Every time Mary Russell makes a trip she Is three cents ahead. When this 16-year-old' messenger girl gave the Red Cross a whole dollar yesterday she gave her earnings for thirty.-tliree average trips for messages. Mary Russell, tho messenger girl, has a heart or she wouldn't have given her dollar, say local chapter workers. "Who will match Mary Russell's dollar?" asks William Jennings, chair man of the campaign committee.
