CITY SEALER CLEARS UP COAL SELLING LAW

Plans to Meet Every Dealer in Fuel to Make Known the Conditions Required.

City Sealer of Weights and Measures A. E. Mogle is planning to meet ©very coal dealer in the city who sells coal by the bushel and instruct him on the conditions under which he may sell coal. A state law provides that "Hard coal, soft coal, coke, etc., unless sold by standard weight, shall not be sold or offered for sale in the state of Indiana in baskets, boxes, ba.gs, wagon boxes, etc., unless a certificate be delivered to the consumer by the person selling the coal plainly showing the number of pounds or ounces contained in said basket, box, bag, wagon box, etc."

Mr. Mogle says a bushel of coal must weigh 80 pounds to be legal and the consumer does not have to accept a bushel unless it does weigh that much. Dealers are allowed, however, to sell in boxes, bags, basket, wagon boxes, etc., provided, that the number of pounds contained therein is plainly stamped on the outside of the container.

A number of requests have been

Knowledge and Practice of Correct Daily Habit the Great Essential

Constipation is a condition affecting all classes of all people and can be permanently relieved only by acquiring habits of regularity.

The most natural time for the elimination process is in the morning when both the muscular and nervous systems are relaxed by sleep and rest. When relief does not come readily, it is an excellent plan to take a mild laxative at bed time. Cathartics and purgatives, that by the violence of their quick action shock and disturb the system, should not be employed.

An effective laxative remedy that is -very dependable, and which does noi gripe or otherwise disturb the organs involved, is found in a comTiinatlon o! simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that can be bought at the drug store for fifty cents a bottle.

Mrs. C. C. Allen, 215 Foam St., New Monterey, Cal., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that she "found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin just what was needed for constipation and distress of the stomach

what he is buying or if it has but one dial, must have it so that the customer can plainly see the weight as well as the dealer.

Another question which Mr. Mogle says he frequently is asked is "what constitutes a legal dry measure?"

Mr. Mogle said the easiest way to explain that is by telling what constitutes an illegal dry measure. Any flaring measure, where the top is larger than the bottom, is illegal. Any measure with internal graduating rings is illegal and any measure whose depth is greater than the diameter is illegal. A liquid measure is illegal when it has the internal graduating rings.

Legal measures, says Mr. Mogle, should qualify under the following measurements, in inches:

Capacity. Diameter. Depth. Half bushel 13 39-40 7 1-24 One peck 11 5% Half peck 8% Quarter peck 6% 3% One quart 5 5-16 3 One pint 4% 2 9-2o

OF C. SEEKS INFORMATION ABOUT NEW TRACTION LINE

Inquires Into Long Delay in Plans to Bring Line to City From St. Louis, Mo.

Spencer F. Ball, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday, has written to Isaac P. Smith, president of the St. Louis, Springfield and Central Illinois Traction company at St. Louis, inquiring what steps were being taken by him to bring the project to a successful termination. Since the opening of the European war no communications have been received from the promoters of the road, and it is feared that due to a lack of funds the plans have fallen through. The company* is said to be backed by English capital.

The traction company's lines were to have passed through Terre Haute. The last communication received from Mr. Smith gave a rosy view of the prospects but since that time nothing has been heard of the company.

When asked whether he thought the war had any effect on the plans, Mr. Ball said he could not tell. "I am really not in possession of sufficient facts to make any statement in regard to the effect the war has had on the company's plans. I know nothing about it except that I have not heard from the promoters for some time. I am going to write again to learn something definite in regard to the matter."

Questions Answered

by Mrs. Ragsdale

This column in the future will be in charge of Nora Ball Ragsdale and all communications should be addressed to her in care of the Terre Haute Tribune. Any quertions of general information may be asked Mrs. Ragsdale and will be answered promptly and to the best of her ability.

Dear Mrs. Ragsdale:—I am in love with a fellow who will graduate rom a college in 1916. He shows his love for me very much. EUs is 24 and I am only 18. Is he too old for me? He never takes me out for a sood time because he always has his studies Jn mind. He comes over and spends the evening in the house, and he plays the violin and I play the piano. Should I give him up or should I get somebody else that can take me to places I of amusement. A. H. B.

If you are not engaged to the young man and you are fond of going about I most certainly would advise you to cultivate other male friendships. You are rather young to "settle down" and deny yourself all the fun of girlhood, don't you think?

However, if you find the man's company enjoyable, and I am sure you must when you both are fond of music, I would suggest that you retain his friendship, also.

Dear Mrs. Ragsdale:—As you have helped quite a number of others, perhaps you can help me. Can you tell mc some good reliable remedy for pimples and skin eruptions? I have tried several things but all fail. These eruptions come for about a week at a time and then go away for a few days and then come tack.

Also how can you clean white kid gloves with an ink spot on them? ELSIE D.

A—The Immediate cause of pimples is usually an excess of fatty matter in the skin. They are very common in young persons from fourteen to twentv years of age. They are often caused by constitutional conditions, and when very numerous are often persistent until the general health is restored. Exercise, attention to the diet, and general hygienic measures are recommended. A warm face bath with a heaping teaspoonful of borax in the water will be found helpful.

To remove ink stain from gloves, first dip the stained part in melted tallow to absorb the ink. Afterwards cover with pipe clay.

Or insert a roll of brown paper inside the glove and put another piece over it then press gently with a warm iron. Repeat if necessary.

Or, if the stain is not removed, make a solution of one part of oxalic acid to 10 parts of water, and gently apply it to the spot with the tip of the finger, using as little as' possible. Follow with a drop of aqua ammonia.

THANKSGIVING FEASTS PUNNED FOR ORPHiNS

Chicken and Dumplings and All the Trimmin's on Menus—Y. Girls to Cook Own Turkeys.

Thanksgiving day will mean a big feast day to the kiddies in the orphan homes of Terre Haute, besides the fun they are anticipating'.

Out at Rose home, more than forty youngsters have been promised they might spend the holiday with their relatives—a big treat in itself for them. The others who remain at the home will have a big dinner at noon, on this order:

Chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries, stewed pumpkin, lemon ice, cake and bananas.

The afternoon will be devoted to a general good time in the cottages. Chi el en and dumplings and thirtyfive apple pies are the "essentials" on the menu for the Glenn home children, according to Superintendent Lawrence, who says that on this day each youngster may have two generous portions of pie together with the chicken, cranberiies and mashed potatoes.

Oh, yes, there'll be candy and nuts, too. Program Arranged.

In the forenoon there will be exercises consisting of songs and recitations by the children in the new school building and after the noon dinner they will enjoy games on the lawn at the home if the weather permits.

According to custom, the children of St. Ann's school will provide the dinner for the children of St. Ann's orphanage. The little orphans at this institution have had a siege of diphtheria this year and the Thanksgiving treat will mean a lot to them. It has not been divulged whether this year's treat will be a turkey dinner as it was last year.

The Y. W. C. A. girls who remain at the Institution on Thursday will have a turkey dinner, which they themselves will prepare. In the preparation of the feast each girl is assigned certain duties and last year a committee was appointed to roast the turkey. It leaked out afterwards that the committee knew none of the mysteries of turkey roasting and so called a woman In the institution from her duties at something else to assist them, not wishing to divulge their lack of knowledge. But of the thirty girls who will take dinner there this year, it is believed there are several who can perform this task.

REV. SULGER (HECKS EFFORTS OF SOLICITOR

Finds Young Woman "Working'' Downtown Office and Issues New Warning Against Impostors.

Another warning to the public to 'guard against imposters soliciting funds for alleged charitable purposes was issued by Rev. J. E. Sulger, chairman of the investigating committee of the Society for Organizing Charity, Tuesday. Rev. Sulger's warning follows the visit of a pretty young woman to the Vandalia offices in the Terre Haute Trust building, Monday, when Rev. Sulger happened to be present. The young woman had gone through the building and had procured quite a neat little sum in the name of "National Society for Tubercular Children." After talking with the young woman and finding she could not produce proper credentials, Rev. Sulger informed the police of her presence and with the aid of other charity workers, the girl was forced to quit the city Monday night.

According to Mr. Sulger, the young woman said the headquarters of the society she represented were in Chicago. Rev. Sulger has written authorities there concerning the girl, asking if there is such an organization as she said she represented and if this organization was affiliated with the organized charities and also inquiring as to its financial and social standing in the community.

This young woman had been living at the Y. W. C. A., it was said. *'The way in which she was collecting money she could have lived at any of the hotels or any place else she chose," Rev. Sulger said. "Even had she been representing an organization of some sort, she had nothing by which the organization could tell how much money she was collecting.

Issues Warning.

"I view with suspicion any persons coming in from outside territory to collect money from charitable purposes, no matter how small the sum. Now, in the case of this young woman, all the contribution she asked from each person was 10 cents. But look at the number of offices and business places she visited and the number of dimes she obtained from each place. Moreover, this wasn't her first visit to Terre Haute. I learned that she had been coming here monthly for some time and had a regular clientele worked up. "I told her that if she were an honest girl she would go to Mr. L. J. Cox, president of the local Anti-Tuberculo-sis society, and ask him for a letter. She made me no answer. I told her

further that she was interferring with the work of our local anti-tuberculo-sis society, for it is badly in need of funds. "It's a peculiar thing how we have to solicit, and solicit, to get barely enough funds to run our locaj charity institutions the Friendly inn, the Light House mission, the Volunteers of America, the Social settlement—all of which are doing good work, and then when an outsider gets into the city he or she has no trouble whatever in procuring funds. It seems we ought to take care of our institutions first. "Just now, at the beginning of winter, I should like to ask that before our local people contribute to any one appearing at their doors for help they ask to see the credentials. If they haven't any, then the charity Investigating committee should be warned.'"
