The warm weather of the past, few
weeks has put, a big crimp In the coal business. The threatened coal famine will not materialize thin year. There is' not a coal dealer In Hammond, or in any of the other cities of the region, who is not able to supply his customers with all the coal they need at the present time. ' This is encouraging to the public at large. If not to the coal dealers themselves. Shipments of coal from the east are now expected to keep pace with the demand for the rest of the winter. -

the hotel workers is not true. "She will pass through here in about six weeks or two months," he said. Perry spoke in Joliet last night..
MORE EXPLANATION
IS NECESSARY A saloonman of East Chicago by name of Stephen Pincsak la having quite a time with the Chicago Daily Press, and the latter Is having quite a time with Pincsak. " It seems that the Press published a story alleging that Pincsak substantiated a statement said to have been made by Morris Klein of the East Chicago liquor house, to the effect that whisky dealers reap profit from millmen. Pincsak employed lawyers to de-. mand a retraction, and then the Press comes back with an affidavit signed by A. A. of I. S. & T. workers which puts Pincsak in a bad ligrht.

Got Strong and Well Again at Small Cost. Miss Alta Abel, of West Baden. Ind., says "I was a complete wreck, always tired, worn out and nervous. I had to spend about one-third of my time In bed and my life was not worth living. Vinol, your delicious cod liver and iron tonic Was ' recommended, and it has done me more good than all the medi
cine I ever took in my life. ' That nervous and tired feeling is all gone.- I have gained in health, flesh and strength, until I feel like another person." Vinol. Is the .most, efficient strength creator for such women. It is the medicinal elements of the cod's livers contained In Vinol aided by the blood making and strengthening properties of tonic iron which makes it so far superior to all other tonics to build up' health and strength for weak, tired, ailing women. It contains no oil and has a delicious taste. We give back your money if Vinol
does not do all that we claim. L. Harry

THE HAMMOND FEB. 2 When a play not only grips the heart strings but plays an intermezzo on the tender chords, it bears the hallmark of a great success. It is not surprising, therefore, that "Paid In Fullhas made an appeal which has been heeded. It Is a story of a sullen, vicious, resentful husband who has become so embittered in the dally grind that every spark of manhood and honor has been wiped out. He finally sacrifices his wife to smear over, if possible, with his employer his theft. The very goodness and Innocence of the wife is her most effective shield. s
