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!
Only those who have themselves suf
fered with eczema or similar itching,
burning skin-trouble can appreciate the
relief that the first touch of Resinol Oint
mept brings. Usually the suffering stops
at once, the skin becomes cool and com
fortable, and the trouble soon disappears.
From the very first you can see that it
is going to get well!
Resinol Ointment is an excellent healing dressing,
too. for burns, scalds, cuts and stubborn little tores.

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.

OFF FRONT ST.j
Chairman Henderson Says
That Every Effort Will Be :
Made For Quick Belief
Every effort is being mad.e to clear
the snow from Front street in the
business section. Chairman E. C.
Henderson, of the Highway Commit
tee of Council, said to-day.
Chairman Henderson has issued
orders to Street Commissioner Mes
hey that every available man and
team should be put into use. He also
ordered the use of the new garbage
truck as it cannot be used for col
lections on account of the snow in
the alleys and streets.
The snow will be cleared off Front
street from Chestnut to Conestoga
streets, as rapidly as possible. Chair
man Henderson said. Work on clear
ing the snow with one team was
started in the business section this
morning. It -was impossible to get
more teams.up until noon to-day.
Every effort is being made to get
! additional teams and men for the
■ work. Businessmen are complaining
about the heaps of snow that are in
front of their establishments. In
some places the snow in Front street
where the pavements have been
cleared, is four feet high.
Businessmen in several sections
have engaged the services of a team
and a squad of men to clear the snow
from the street in front of their
shops.
It was learned this morning that
the Harrisburg Railways Company
when it is necessary to clear the snow
pays its share of the cost of removal.

Bavarians Send Food to
Hun Chancellor; Arrested
Amsterdam, Dec. 14.—According
to the Munich Post, friends and ad
mirers of Count Oeorge T. Ilertling,
tho imperial German Chancellor have
been sending him foodstuffs since
he left Bavaria for Berlin to take
up the chancellorship, fearing he
might find difficulty in getting food
in the German capital.
As the sending ot foodstuffs from
Bavaria to Prussia is against the
regulations, the packages were seized
and the senders arrested. Count
Hertllng has telegraphed Bavarian
authorities, requesting release of
those persons, and asks that the
packages be forwarded to him, add
ing: "They will be gratefully ac
cepted."

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.
