MINE OWNERS PLAN MEETING TO GET CARS

Will Appeal for Relief Following Decrease in Movement.

TERRE HAUTE. April 2. A constantly decreasing car supply to Indiana coal mines, which haa resulted in an alarming curtailment of production, has led Indiana operators to plan a general conference at Indianapolis next week to formulate a method of procedure for laying the case before the federal railroad administration and through this agency securing relief. Tentative plans are for a conference on Tuesday at which there would be present state and federal officials as well as representatives of large consumers of coal. At such a conference statistics would be presented showing the danger ' of a continuation of the present car shortage. Service Falls Off. For instance it would be shown that according to the reports of the district representative of the United States fuel administration, which embraces the operation of 160 mines, which Is practically every tipple mine in the state, the railroads which serve this field supplied during the week ending March 9, a car service of 73 per cent. The following week, the percentage bad dropped to 62 per cent, and for the week ending March 23 it was 66 per cent. The report for this week will show a further deevrease, one very large mine, for instance, being able to operate only two days because of a lack of cars. For three weeks ending March 23, the car shortage resulted in a loss of production of 533,973 tons, this being directly due to car shortage and exclusive of loss due to other causes. Get Only 60 Per Cent. The thirty-three mines on the Chicago, Tcrre Haute and Southwestern road are in a worse plight than almost any other. These mines received a 60 jer cent, car supply during the week

ending March 9; 54 per cent, for the week ending March 16 and 62 per cent, for the week ending March 23. The movement to appeal to the federal authorities and have as many agencies as possible Join In this appeal, was Initiated by the operators served by this road. Subsequently other operators came In and adopted a resolution providing for focible representation to the federal railroad administration "with a view of having an order Issued requiring open-top cars to be confinen to the loading and moving of coal in preference, and that non coal producing roads be required to return open-top cars promptly to coal producing roads. "A further order will be sought whereby non coal producing roads will be required to furnish cars for loading of fuel coal for such roads, and in movements of commercial coal the non coal producing roads participating in the revenue derived from the haul to be required to furnish a fair proportion of the cars used in that service."

Fails to Deliver $5; Sent to Jail as Result When Charles Bailey was released from jail a few days ago, a friend E. R. Wilkinson, whose term did not yet expire gave him $5 for Wilkinson's wife. If he did not find the woman, he was to give the money to a friend who would turn it over to her. Bailey went off with the money, but neglected to look up the person to whom it was to have been given. He was arrested on complaint of Wilkinson and found glulty of petit larceny in city court Tuesday morning. Bailey was returned to jail to spend a thirtyday sentence, and was fined $5 and costs.

GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS Recommends Unity l'e of Manmla To Overcome Tronble. Cnuaed by Fermenting? Food nnd Acid Indigestion.

Gas and wind in the stomach accompanied by that full, bloated feeling after eating are almost certain evidence of the presence of excessive hydrochloric acid in the stomach, creating so-cailed "acid indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach, often leadingto gastritis accompanied by serious stomach ulcers. Food ferments and sours, creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonfui in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This will drive the gas. wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralie the excess acid and prevent Its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (In powder or tablet form never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. Adv.
