Administrator Garfield Is preparing to
appeal to operators and miners to lorego the usual Christmas and New Years holiday. Every Idle day In-the mines costs the country nearly two million
tana of coal.
Authoritr to shut down industry If
neceaaarv to suddI? householders
with coal was granted by the fuel ad
ministration to W. K. Prudden. ieaerai fuel administrator for Michigan. Many Michigan cities are said to be almost entirely without supplies for domestic needs. The situation in the middle west where cold weather and lack of fuel has brought much suffering was gone ever at a conference today between Dr. Garfield and F- C. Baird, in charge of the fuel administration of rail transportation and coal distribution. Mr. Paird reported conditions improving somewhat, although there is "a great congestion of coal cars at some terminals.

In the first Place you must show that you are willing and eager to serve, 'and ' in the' second place you must convince the employer that you would be competent. Study yourself and decide what you
are best fitted to do, and then go from place to ' place, or answer advertisements until you do get 'work- Remember that above all you must convince the employer that you can give him good service that is the important thing, and not how much you can earn. If you write and tell me definitely what you can do, I will- be able to answer your ' question more satisfactorily. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I have been putting plain vaseline on my eyelashes to make them grow. ' Do you think it is injurious to the eyes? Will it make the eyelashes grow? My eyelashes are of two colors. Near the eye" they are quite light; at the ends they are dark. What will make them an even color? (2) Do you think it is wrong to go to public dances if the girl is a lady and respected among her friends? (3) I met two young college graduates at a summer resort last summer and have been corresponding with
both of them ever siace. Would it be proper to send them a small remembrance for Christaaas? ' , THANK YOU. (1) Vaseline is highly recommended to grow hair and is not injurious if care is taken cot -to get it in the eyes. As to' the coloriag vaseline would probably darken them somewhat, but why aot leave them as they are? ! I'm sure they must be' just as attractive that way. - ' ;- (3) No, if she conducts her&elf with Sisajty, - dances only w.ta those to whom -she has beea properly iatro-

just ' calmly (as ' possible) sit down and wait. Wait till you find a worthy man that you really love before you marry. You are ver young. "As for ou, Jessie, you contemplate marrying for a home, for money and you only seventeen years old I You say you do not want to marry the wealthy one because he is a-farm1" and you "do not fancy being a farmer's wife." The true ' reason ' is that ; you do not love him. Wait, litUe girl, till true love comes. When you ; find a man you would marry, if he be farmer or whatever he may be, money or no money, then marry.
"STICK8 AND STONES' Harry Underwood said: "Do you smoke, Mrs. Graham? I'll bet a ten spot that you don't, but you ought to begin." Harry Underwood leaned toward me with a case of cigarettes in his hand. Dicky had ; provided cigarettes in a quaint antique jar, one of .the things he had brought home from the studio to the apartment.' But Mr. Underwood evidently wished me to try his own brand. The question was the only thing needed to complete my anger at this man. I had vaguely disliked him from the first tine I had met him. His bold words and manner in the afternoon had deepened my dislike. Then when his wife had warned me that he would in all probability make violent love to roe, as I was a new type to him, my feeling had become an unconquerable aversion. Lillian had added that she would straighten him out if he annoyed me too much, but as I looked out from my armchair in which he had imprisoned me by the simple expedients of pushing me into and. standing in front of it, I saw that she was still too absorbed in her art discussion with Mr. Lester to come to my rescue. Mrs. Lester, with little birdlike glances and chirpy giggles, was talking rapidly to Dicky. He was listening to her with the smile on his face, which I knew meant absorbed amusement. For the moment I was as much alone with Mr. Underwood as if the room had been empty. He saw my glance, interpreted It correctly, and bent closed to me, "smiling mischievously. "You see it is useless," he said, ar.sweriag my unspoken thought. "You can't get away. I promised myself a little uninterrupted conversation with you and I always get what I want, always." 1 He beat closer to me, his eyes holdlag mlae. He spoke slowly, emphatically. I shivered. I felt the sudden momentary dread of this man I had evperieaced in the afternoon- He laughed suddenly, with hearty mischief "Scared you stiff that time, dida't I? Do you kaow, I thought the melodramatic stuff would get you. I scored oae. You'd better light one
of these. I caa recommend the brand,
aad it's misaty f.ae for the nerves."
I looked haushtily at him, but be
fore I could open my mouth he began
humming:
"Everybody's dolas it, doias it, do-
I looked around my living room
The air was already heavy with the sceat of tie cigarettes. The men were all smoking. Lillian Gale was cocsumlag oae after aaother," while even' littlo Mrs. Lester was toying with one. She looked like a ; little girl playing at
smoklag a corn silk clgaret. ' 'put before my guess bad ever arrived I had made my decision concern-
;-3 smoking: ' I had smoked my first cigarette with Dlcljy at' his earnest recuest, almost his command. ' ' But ' it
had been against all my principles' and
prejudices.- I :had done it 1 only; to Please Dicky and in the seclusion of cur hme- ' Not for worlds would I repeat the experience ia the presence of
other people, especially at the oenest
o: a man i nateq.
"Well!" Harry Underwood's face still held his mocking smile as he held
out the case toward me. "I am sorry" I' tried to speak courteously "but I do not smoke." "I knew that. . But you are going to try one with me. The combination of a cigarette and your mouth is something I should like to see." His words were almost the same as Dicky had used when he had begged me' to smoke. 1 bad faintly resented
them In Dicky. From the lips of this
man they 'were an offence.
He was waiting for an answer. He still - bent toward me, the cigarette case In his fingers. I had never been
so ill at ease In my life. I did not dare answer him as I wished, and as I
told myself he deserved. If I had I
should have forbidden him ever to speak to me again. . On the other hand if I gave him a courteous answer ho would be encouraged to annoy me turner. Suddenly he took a cigarette from the case, and bending forward, placed It . against my Hps. With his other hand he struck a match. "There," he said, lighting the end nearest to him, "now just' draw in your breath and you'll be a smoker before you know it." ' The familiarity, the persistence of the man made me furious. I forgot that he was my guest, that he was Dicky's friend., I sprang to my feet, pushing him away from me violently. The cigarette fell to the floor, but on the way the lighted end grazed his hand. He uttered a muttered exclam-

Nervous WreckNow Live Wire
Makes Everybody Sit Up and Take Notice. One of our big league ball players had been going back for some time, no matter how hard he tried he could not get his old time Pep and Ginger into the game, it was up hill work ail the time. We was one of those honest hard-working fellows and it finally got his "goat," his nerves went bad, he commenced to run down, could cot eat and sleep and kept steadily slipping Doctors and medicines were of no help.
One of bis many admirers said to him. "Why not try Phosphated Iron, everybody is boosting it" Grasping at the last straw, the poor fellow took a try at it. The way he came back was as "eye opener," he was there in every department of the game, 'bis nerves were like Iron, he
could hit the ball and was no time getting back to the three hundred mark,' while his base running and fielding were great ' Discussing the matter with our reporter h' said? "Would you' believe It I could feel the Iron charging my blood with health and strength, while the way the Phosphates steadied and renewed my nerve force was almost too good to believe. Phosphated Iron took bold of me right from. the start and sure did make a new man of me, and you can' bet I carry a good supply on all my trips." Doctors will tell you that you must have plenty of Iron and Phosphates in your system if ' you want pure red blood and steady nerves of Iron. Every one who is run down, nervous tired and has that "all in" feeling should try Phosphated Iron and you will never be without it again. . Special Notice--To insure physi
cians and patients receiving the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put up in capsules only so do not allow dealera to substitute pills or tablets, insist on the genuine in capsules only, i For sale in Richmond by Conkey Drug Co.
alloc, and I rejoiced that he had suffered even so alight an Inconvenience. "Mr. Underwood," I said tensely, "will you please understand once for all that I do not smoke, nor do I mean to learn? Will you also allow me to tell you that I do not like you. and that the language you have been using toward me is extremely distasteful to me" I had spoken purposely in a low tone so as cot to attract the attention of the others. If I had thought to disturb Harry Underwood, however, I had been greatly mistaken. He looked at me as I spoke through half-closed eyes with his lazy, exasperating smile. "Very pretty, very spirited, my lady, but it doesn't bother me. 'Sticks and sones' you know be rest of it"
