MORE RED BLOOD AND STEADIER
NERVES FOR RUN DOWN PEOPLE
The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous,
Keen-Minded, Men and Women
It has been said of Americans that they -work their habits over
time.
Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork.
By worry, despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and body
of needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alco
holic drink—excesses of every kind that burn up the vital powers
so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women
lit to be of help to themselves and others.
It is time to be temperate in all things. The man or woman
with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vigor,
the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid
excesses,
Timldnrss, despondency, fear, trembling hands, want of confidence and
even cowardliness, are due in a large measure to abused nerves.
People with plenty of red blood corpaoclee and strong, healthy nerves hare
no desire to shirk work and lean on others for guidance and eappsrt.
There is hardly a nerve-shattered man or woman (unless of an organic
diseasei in America today who cannot become alert and clear in mind; vigorous
and energetic in body in a very few weeks and at trifling cost.
To become strong and ambitions, te feel that work Is net drudgery; te
hare steady nerves, abundance of red blood and power ef endaranee; te be net
only a man bat as men new ge, a superman, ysa most take seven tablets sf
Bia-feren every day for seven days—and tsks them faithfaliy.
Take two after each meal and one at bedtime and after seven dgys take
one only after meal until the supply is exhausted.
Then 1/ you feel that any claim made In this special notice is untrue—lf
your nerves are not twice as steady as before; if you do not feel ambitious,
more vigorous and keen-minded, the pharmacist who dispensed the tablets to
you will gladly hand you back just what you paid for them.
810-feren is without doubt the grandest remedy for nervous, rundown,
weak, anaemic men and women ever offered direct through druggists and Is
not at all expensive. All druggists In this city and vicinity have a supply on
hand—sell many packigM.

COAL SHORTAGE IF

[Continued from First Page.]
i i' failed to call attention publicly to
the facts.
Illg Decrease In Production
"Ever since the armistice was
signed production of bituminous coal
has fallen far below the tonnage
necessary to maintain if the coun
try's normal needs are to be met. Of
ficial returns to the United States
Geological Survey show that from
January 1 to May 10 the output of
all mines in the country dropped 25
per cent, below production during
the corresponding period last year,
or approximately 50,000,000 tons. The
mines are now producing coal at the
rate of 8,000,000 tons a week. They
should be producing 11,000,000 tons,
if the people are to have enough coal.
"Unless the lost production is
made up. at least in large part," says
President Montgomery, "domestic
consumers will be unable to obtain
sufficient fuel next winter, the trans
portation agencies will be crippled,
public utilities generally will have
to curtail their activities, industries
will run on part time and all the dis
tress due to the coal shortage of
1917-18 will be repeated, perhaps
even aggravated and intensified.
"It would be extremely difficult, if
not impossible, to make up the ton
nage already lost, if the mines were
all to start working full time to
morrow. Already there Is a short
age of labor in certain coal fields: in
others there is every indication that
there will be labor shortage, and the
industry generally faces the loss of
4,000 foreign born employes who
have made their plans to return to
Europe as soon as they can get pas
! sage.
Many already have gone back and
| there will not be men to take their
! places, for immigration is restricted
and the tide of trans-Atlantic travel,
as soon as peace is signed will flow
strongly to Europe. In addition, the
incustry faces the loss of thousands
of men who are seeking and obtain
ing less hazardous work and at more
regular working time.
"The entire cause is failure of the
1 public to keep the mines going full
j time by placing its orders for coal.
! The mines are now working half
! time and quarter time."
Stocks accumulated during the fall
j of last year in Harrisburg have been
almost depleted, and President Mont-,
i gomery says within a few months
everybody will be trying to place or
ders. It will be a physical impossi
bility for the mines as well as the
coal dealers to produce sufficient
coal in the short time remaining be
fore the cold weather to meet the
demand. Fuel Administrator Gar
field has urged the public to place
Its orders now. The Coal Exchange
emphatically indorses this advice,
for the man who longer delays In
arranging for his coal supply for
next fall and winter stands In grave
danger of not getting it,

Influenza and Wartime Strains have left Thousands f

WE must see to it that the years 1918-1919 do not leave the curse of kidney dis- * ||
