COAL MEN EXPECT PEACE Think Settlement Will Be Reached At New York Meeting New York, Jan. 18.—Peace in the coal industry was believed in sight today as operators and miners met to frame a new contract for the bituminous coal fields. The conference was arranged at Chicago when the meeting of the coal men broke up in disagreement over the terms of the new contract. During the last two weeks representatives of the operators ami miners have been working on a new contract i which they hope will be acceptable to both sides. This draft will be presented to the conference opening today and is repotted to be based on the old four states agreement. Miners and operators have waged a bitter war over the terms of the ’ new agreement for months. Operators from the start have de11 mamled a district settlement. They de- ( dared to settle with all of the districts , as a unit would leave them open to in- , dietrients by the Federal government, similar to those of 1920. T1 e original proposal of the operators provided for wage scales fixed individually by each of the 15 districts: arbitration of all differences, to include an arbitration committee appointed by the i resident, and a sliding wage scale, I to t; ke care of fluctuating prices between competitive fields. Ti'.is proposal was submitted to the min', rs at a meeting in Chicago early in December. Opposition of union heads was so strong that tho. arbitration and sliding wage scale clauses were immediately eliminated. Miners, however, declared they world not consider the district settlement and the meeting broke up. A Three-Oay Battle At the t-onference of more than 250 mint rs and operators from all fields in Chicago, January 3, the matter was thrown before the whole conference. For three days the battle raged over the new contract. Operators were still firm in their stand for district settlement and miners refused to accept. Telegrams were received from President Harding's Fact Finding committee urging that the present agreement be continued for a year and give the committee a chance to report. The 'conference, however, broke up with the understanding that a last effort would be made today. The four-state agreement provides 'for a settlement in the Central compei titive field comprising the state of Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. , A large percentage of the soft coal mined yearly in the United States is dug in this section and ndners decl.wed that an agreement in this field would force other fields to settle or too lace a strike, while the Central district took all the cream of the business. o Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. .lames 11. Allen, of Rochester, N. y„ stiff' red for years witli rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. lie finally decided, utter years of eeaseless .study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the a< - cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved ill tiie joints and muscles and expelled from, the body. With this idea in mlile ho consulted physicians, made experiments .and tlualfx compounded a prcscripUon that quickly and eomplctey banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freelv travc Ids discovery, wliielt lie called Allenthu. to others who took It, with wliat might be called marvelous success. After years of Orgittg he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instrueted druggists everywhere to dispense Allenrhu with the understanding that if the first pint bottle does not show the wav to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without ■ epiftmviil. ■ 1 llottiioijse ■’ Drug Co. can s|ippl> y oiiDr. KING’S PILLS l——for constipation _ VI J] I=J i'” J the bowels ■ I

A good night's work. A team which may cause trouble for some outfit in the sectional tourney here in March, is the Lancaster tossers. They have been going good this season and recently dropped a hardfought contest to Broad Ripple in the last few minutes of play. Vincennes meets Anderson at the Madison county seat on Friday night, January 26. This battle is attracting state-wide attention.

BEWARE OF DRUGS Medical Authorities Advise Caution in the Use of Preparations Liable to Contain Powerful Drugs. Never drug your system to relieve or prevent colds, grippe or\ “Flu.' Drugs are liable to affect the nervous system or weaken the heart. Hot medicinal tea is now recoin mended by many physicians, because it is best for the human system, acts quickly on the bowels and intestinies by eliminating the excess poisonous wastes that usually tend to lower your physiciai resistance. Just pure, refreshing, healthful herbs from nature; that is why millions are now using Bulgarian Herb Tea to relieve and break up bad colds, and also , keep the poisons flushed from the system.
